Gu Jiangli soon heard about what was going on between Sun Chan and Jiang Huaisong.
She knew Jiang Huaisong's character all along, so she also knew that Jiang Huaisong would never interfere with the city lord's wife's decisions.
It was inevitable that Wuyou would be personally cared for by the city lord's wife.
On the hundredth day of peace and tranquility, the city lord's mansion held a grand banquet for guests from all directions.
But when Nan Yu was 100 days old, the city lord's mansion did nothing.
The city lord's wife said that since the two children were born around the same time, holding two banquets would be too extravagant and wasteful. It would be better to celebrate both children together when Wuyou reaches 100 days old.
Jiang Huai was the first to object.
But Gu Jiangli persuaded him that arguing with the city lord's wife at this time was pointless.
If a person's heart is biased from the beginning, no matter how much others tell her, she will not realize that she is wrong.
Therefore, arguing about these things is unnecessary.
However, they did not do nothing during Nan Yu's hundred days.
If the city lord's wife is unwilling to hold a banquet in the mansion, then they can hold a banquet outside the city lord's mansion.
Jiang Huaizhi booked the three most luxurious restaurants in Qingfeng City and invited all the prominent and wealthy merchants in Qingfeng City to celebrate Nanyu's 100th day with them.
Gu Jiangli still remembers that when Jiang Huaizhi hosted the banquet for them, the wealthy merchants were somewhat puzzled as to why he did not hold the banquet at his residence, since holding the banquet at a restaurant would obviously be more expensive.
But Jiang Huai shut them up with just one sentence.
He said, "Because Nanyu deserves a more expensive celebration."
That day, several restaurants were bustling with activity.
Everyone was congratulating Jiang Huaizhi and Gu Jiangli on the birth of their son.
More than a month later, the city lord's mansion held a banquet to celebrate the hundredth day of peace and tranquility. Most of the attendees were still wealthy merchants and armored soldiers.
They had just attended Nan Yu's 100-day celebration not long ago, making it easy to compare the two events to today's banquet.
The mansion was bustling with activity, but whispers of discussion could be heard in the background:
"If you ask me, the banquet for Young Master Nan Yu's 100th day a few days ago was truly magnificent. The dishes at Chun Yue Lou are really priceless."
"Of course! Even though my family is already so wealthy, we wouldn't dare to book Chunyue Tower for a banquet. The delicacies are truly something to yearn for."
"The dishes we have today are nowhere near as good as the ones from the other day."
"The eldest young master must really dote on Young Master Nanyu to spend so much money, as for that carefree young master... well, those who know, know."
"The second young master has always been a spoiled brat with no real ability. The banquet for the young master Wuyou was entirely funded by the city lord and his wife. But I've also heard that most of the money in the city lord's mansion comes from the eldest young master. In short, the hundred-day celebrations for the two young masters were all paid for by the eldest young master."
"So, it seems that today's banquet turned out quite well?"
"That's enough, that's enough. With the young master being so generous, what else can we complain about?"
...
The discussions continued and soon reached the ears of the city lord and his wife. Jiang Huaisong and Sun Chan naturally heard these voices as well.
The city lord was so embarrassed that he almost stormed off, but his wife stopped him.
If he leaves, the City Lord's Mansion will lose face.
Jiang Huaisong and Sun Chan both looked unhappy, but neither dared to show it.
Throughout the entire banquet, the only truly happy people were Gu Jiangli and his family of three.
Gu Jiangli ignored all that and only cared about making sure he was full.
Like her, Jiang Huaisong is happy as long as she enjoys her food.
During halftime, Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaisong went to the back to relax and happened to run into the wet nurse carrying Wuyou to the main hall.
"Wait a minute."
Gu Jiangli called out to the wet nurse.
That wet nurse was also brought into the manor by Jiang Huaizhi, and she also obeyed Gu Jiangli's orders.
As soon as she spoke, the wet nurse stopped in her tracks. "Madam."
Gu Jiangli approached and finally saw Wuyou.
This was the first time in her life that she had truly seen this child.
Wuyou, who was her son for more than ten years in her previous life.
For a moment, she felt a surge of emotion.
This time, Wuyou has nothing to do with her anymore; she has to call someone else "mother" and bring disaster to that person.
Seeing that she was staring intently, the wet nurse took another step forward while holding Wuyou and said softly, "Would you like to pet him, Madam? Young Master Wuyou is quite adorable when he's asleep."
Gu Jiangli was stunned. "Really?"
"It's true."
Gu Jiangli placed his hand on Wuyou's face with some skepticism, but the next second, Wuyou opened her eyes.
Those eyes made Gu Jiangli freeze for a moment, and he even forgot to pull his hand back.
Wuyou immediately grabbed Gu Jiangli's fingers with his hand, then put them in his mouth and bit them hard.
Although the 100-day-old baby has no teeth, he exerts a lot of force, and the resulting pain is not insignificant.
Gu Jiangli was startled and quickly pulled her fingers out, then gripped them tightly.
Jiang Huaizhi was very anxious and hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"
Gu Jiangli shook his head repeatedly, his gaze remaining fixed on Wuyou, not looking away for a moment.
The wet nurse was clearly terrified, never expecting things to turn out this way.
"Please forgive me, Madam! I... I didn't know that Young Master Wuyou would suddenly wake up... He wouldn't do this when he was asleep before."
The wet nurse trembled with fear, terrified that Jiang Huaizhi and Gu Jiangli would punish her severely.
Gu Jiangli, however, just stared at Wuyou without saying a word.
Wuyou was still chuckling, as if she had done something extremely happy.
He was very proud and happy because he had successfully manipulated Gu Jiangli.
Gu Jiangli could never forget Wuyou's eyes.
