"Shut up!" Gu Nian picked up her teacup and threw it on the ground, standing up angrily.
"You!" Yao Yunhua never expected Gu Nian to be so bold and to be so unconcerned about her manners.
Gu Nian didn't even glance at Yao Yunhua and went straight to the hall.
In the hall, Gu Shouxin, Cai Xiaolian, and Lord Cheng and his wife were discussing the cooperation.
"Lord Cheng, Madam Cheng!" Gu Nian called out as she entered, interrupting them.
Lord Cheng frowned in displeasure. Country girls really have no manners.
"Niannian?" Cai Xiaolian looked at Gu Nian in confusion.
Gu Nian did not respond to Cai Xiaolian, but looked at Lord Cheng and Madam Cheng and said, "May I ask if you two have told anyone that I admire your son and am willing to become his concubine?"
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Shouxin were taken aback. They had originally intended to bring Gu Nian over, but now they had no such plans.
"Niannian, what's wrong? Did Yun'er bully you?" Madam Cheng asked with a smile.
"No. Miss Yao didn't bully me. On the contrary, she said she wanted to be good sisters with me, to cultivate our relationship first, and then stage a beautiful story of harmonious marriage between wives and concubines." Gu Nian smiled and said, "When did I ever say that I was in love with Cheng Rui and would become his concubine? In the hearts of Lord Cheng and Madam Cheng, am I so lowly?"
"What, Lord Cheng, do you think that a mere county magistrate like you can act like a local tyrant in Taoyuan County? Do you think that your family's status is enough to make a peasant girl like me flock to you and rush to befriend your son? Is your son a reincarnation of the God of Literature or a god of war? Is he worthy of it?" Gu Nian looked directly at Lord Cheng.
Yao Yunhua has been so direct, the county magistrate must know about this.
Ha, how ridiculous!
"How dare you!" Lord Cheng roared in anger.
"Lord Cheng, I won't be presumptuous, but please explain yourself clearly! I'm a daughter from a respectable family, why should I become your son's concubine? Do you think I don't care about my innocence? Do you think I don't plan to get married? Tell me!" Gu Nian wasn't afraid of Lord Cheng at all!
This Lord Cheng is a county magistrate, which, in modern times, wouldn't even be as high a rank as her brother!
Her brother has held an important position for many years and naturally exudes the aura of someone in a position of power; she has grown accustomed to it.
“Niannian, aren’t you and Rui’er in love? Rui’er likes you, but you should know your own place. As Rui’er’s mother, I also like you very much. It’s just…” Madam Cheng sighed.
"May I ask, Madam Cheng, what is my daughter's status? In your words, she's as if she's something shameful?" Cai Xiaolian stood up and looked coldly at Madam Cheng.
“Lianmei, you’ve lived in the countryside for so long, you might not be so familiar with the rules of wealthy families…” Madam Cheng was about to explain when Cai Xiaolian interrupted her.
"This humble woman dares not accept Madam Cheng's address of 'sister'," Cai Xiaolian said.
Madam Cheng frowned: "Why did it have to come to this! Why did it have to come to this!"
"What's wrong?" At this moment, Cheng Rui walked in and, noticing that the atmosphere was a bit off, went to Gu Nian's side and asked.
"Cheng Rui, you've come at the right time. Did you say that I'm in love with you, and that we're mutually in love? I'd like to ask, when did we become mutually in love?" Gu Nian asked, looking at Cheng Rui.
Cheng Rui's heart skipped a beat when he saw Gu Nian's gaze.
"Niannian, why are you angry? Is it because my cousin said something hurtful to you? Don't worry, I will treat you well. Even if you become a concubine, I will make you a good concubine. After you give birth to a son, you and your son will be listed in the family genealogy together... Pfft!" Before Cheng Rui could finish speaking, he was punched by Gu Shouxin and spat out blood.
