Zhongshun looked at Gu Huaizhi with some embarrassment, thinking that his master had never been to her yard since he married her.

Now, my master still wants others to willingly pay money?

There is no gain without pain.

"How about, Lord Marquis, you consummate your marriage with Madam Jiang as soon as possible?" Zhongshun thought about it and suggested carefully.

"How can that be possible?" Gu Huaizhi refused without even thinking.

He thought that his body and soul should belong to his cousin, so how could he consummate his marriage with Jiang Jinyue, a merchant girl?

It was Tai Jingwan, whom he had never touched.

"My lord, Madam Jiang has been in the mansion for some time, but if you don't show some sincerity, Madam Jiang will probably be wary of the people in our mansion." Zhongshun thought, if she was really not happy, why bother marrying her back?

Since you married Mrs. Jiang, wasn't it also for her dowry?

Now that you've married her, why are you still being so pretentious?

...

...

After saying that, Zhongshun glanced at Gu Huaizhi again and didn't dare to say anything more.

"You're right." Gu Huaizhi thought about it. Doesn't Jiang Jinyue care about the affairs of the mansion now?

Wasn’t the last gift Jiang Jinyue gave to her brothers and sisters in the mansion just the simplest handkerchief?

Although it sounds nice to be a tribute of floating brocade, so what?

It's just a handkerchief, what use can it be?

As for the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone given to Mingzhi, they were just ordinary things that could not be more ordinary.

"My Lord, I heard that Madam Jiang sent several pieces of floating brocade to the eldest young lady. The last time the eldest young lady went back to the Tai family, Madam Jiang asked her to take two carriages of gifts." Zhongshun whispered to Gu Huaizhi what he had secretly seen.

"What? Why does Jiang do this?" Upon hearing this, Gu Huai stood up unwillingly.

He clearly married this concubine for the Gu family, but now it sounds like the Tai family is the one that is benefiting.

"My Lord, do you know where Madam Jiang stayed on the wedding night?" Zhongshun looked at Gu Huaizhi again and said.

"Where?" Gu Huaizhi asked with a frown. That day, he had been accompanying his cousin and did not go to Yuehua Pavilion. He went there early the next morning, but did not see Jiang Jinyue.

Could it be that Jiang Jinyue has someone outside?

Thinking of this, Gu Huaizhi became a little angry. How dare the Jiang family send such a fickle daughter to marry him?

"My Lord, please calm down. Madam Jiang is staying in Yingxue Pavilion." Zhongshun saw that Huaizhi looked unhappy and knew that the Lord must have had some wrong ideas.

"Tai Jingwan's Yingxue Pavilion?" Gu Huaizhi, who was originally furious, was unable to react for a moment when he heard this.

Stay in Yingxue Pavilion?

His concubine slept with his legal wife on their wedding night?

This is simply ridiculous!

"My Lord, the eldest young lady and Madam Jiang definitely didn't know each other before, but why do they get along so well now? Isn't it because when Madam Jiang came to the Gu family, the eldest young lady gave her the first warmth?" Zhongshun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Huaizhi's complexion looked a little better.

"Hmph! Jiang family just can't judge people well!" Gu Huaizhi was a little angry. Jiang Jinyue's vision of judging people was not very good. How much sincerity could Tai Jingwan have towards her?

"My lord, but think about it, the eldest young lady only took in Madam Jiang for one night, and Madam Jiang is very close to the eldest young lady. If you show more kindness to Madam Jiang, will Madam Jiang also treat you, my lord, sincerely?" Zhongshun thought to himself, the marquis, he has said it so bluntly, and he hasn't figured out the reason yet, it's no wonder that the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion is now on a downward trend.

Actually, in Zhongshun's heart, the eldest young lady's wife, Mrs. Tai, is not bad. It's a pity that his own marquis cannot see her good points. She has been in the mansion for three years and has done so much for the Marquis Xuanping Mansion, but in the end, she is not as important as a cousin who has done nothing.

No wonder the eldest young lady was disappointed.

"I understand." Gu Huaizhi was silent for a while. Although he felt that he was sorry for Wan'er by doing this, so what? Jiang Jinyue was his second wife, and he believed that Wan'er would understand him.

"Then, my lord, tonight..." Zhongshun naturally hoped that Gu Huaizhi could go to Yuehua Pavilion tonight. If Madam Jiang could let more of her hair slip through her fingers, wouldn't that be the good days for the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion?

"Let's go to Yuehua Pavilion tonight." Gu Huaizhi finally decided to go to Jiang Jinyue.

With Jiang Jinyue's naive personality, as long as he showed more kindness to her, wouldn't Jiang Jinyue be willing to open her heart to their Gu family?

By then, let alone a hundred taels of silver, even ten thousand taels of silver would be no problem. After all, the Jiang family has no shortage of money.

In Yuehua Pavilion, Jiang Jinyue didn't know that Gu Huaizhi was planning to sacrifice himself in order to get money from her.

At this time, she was having people prepare good wine and delicious food to entertain Luo Xinyue.

"Sister Jiang, should we invite Sister Tai to join us?" Luo Xinyue looked at the table full of dishes, feeling a little excited.

When she went to Tai's house, Luo Yuanxuan hadn't had time to entertain her properly.

Besides, Luo Yuanxuan was only the second young lady of the Tai family, and she would surely not treat her like the Xuanping Marquis’ Mansion did.

Otherwise, why was the person who was welcoming her so warmly not Tai Jingwan, but Jiang Jinyue, who had nothing to do with the Tai family?

"My sister must be busy, so I won't invite her here today." Jiang Jinyue thought, I'm just trying to help you, why should I let Sister Tai come here?

Later, I will take my sister to Yuelou, the best restaurant in Beijing, to eat the most delicious roast duck.

"This is so bad." Luo Xinyue said it was bad, but she was actually very happy in her heart.

Not bringing Tai Jingwan, does it mean that I am more important in Sister Jiang's heart?

"Come, Sister Luo, come and try it. This is the capital's new product, Osmanthus wine. The alcohol content of this wine is not high, but it is most suitable for women like us to drink." Jiang Jinyue smiled and took out the Osmanthus wine that had been prepared long ago, and said to Luo Xinyue enthusiastically.

"Sister Jiang, I...I can't drink." Although Luo Xinyue was very curious about the osmanthus wine, she was also worried that she would get drunk. After all, this was in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

"Puff!" Jiang Jinyue couldn't help laughing, then poured herself a bowl, then poured another bowl for Luo Xinyue, took a sip with a smile, and encouraged Luo Xinyue, saying, "We women don't need to drink like those grown men. Let's just have a small drink to relax and try something new. This wine has a very low alcohol content."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xinyue also imitated Jiang Jinyue and took a sip.

I found that it was just as Jiang Jinyue said, there was not much taste of alcohol, but instead a rich and sweet sweet osmanthus fragrance.

"How is it?" Jiang Jinyue asked happily.

"It smells fragrant and sweet." Luo Xinyue said, feeling a little embarrassed. The taste was indeed different from any wine she had drunk before.

Thinking of this, Luo Xinyue couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

"Sister Luo, don't just drink this osmanthus wine. Here are all the famous dishes from the capital. Try them too." Jiang Jinyue looked at Luo Xinyue and found that she was just as she expected. She felt relieved after she drank two bowls of osmanthus wine.
