Chapter 501 Difficulties from Aunt
Ouyang Xing said, "They are not at home all year round and like to live in the manor."
Su Nuan nodded, "Oh, I thought..."
She shut up immediately, thinking that the other person's relative had died, so it was better not to say such words.
Ouyang Xing suddenly muttered to himself, "I wonder if they are still alive?"
Su Nuan, “…”Okay, I was too cautious.
Ouyang Xing went forward and knocked on the door, "Open the door, the young master is back."
There was a sound of running from inside the door, and soon someone came to open the door.
The young doorman bowed and said, "Master, you are back. The master is waiting for you in the front hall."
Ouyang Xing nodded, "I understand."
Su Nuan asked curiously, "Have you informed your uncle?"
Ouyang Xing shook his head, "No, every time I come back from outside, my uncle will wait for me specially."
Su Nuan said "Oh", this uncle really loves his nephew.
She looked down at herself. She was wearing an ordinary light blue cotton dress, which was quite formal and should not be disrespectful.
The two came to the front hall, where a man and a woman were sitting.
The woman was wearing plain clothes and a wooden hairpin on her head. She was a widow.
The man looks 60% like Ouyang Xing, no wonder he dotes on Ouyang Xing so much.
Ouyang Xing took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Meet uncle and aunt."
After that, he introduced, "This is my savior, Miss Nuannuan."
Su Nuan bowed and greeted Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun's face darkened and she said, "What? You didn't even call me Madam? You're so uneducated."
Su Nuan asked calmly, "I wonder what rank Madam Sun is in?"
Mrs. Sun's face turned even darker. What imperial decree did she have? She was just an ordinary citizen.
Su Nuan felt disgusted. For an ordinary woman, being called Madam was already an honor for her, and she even wanted to be called Madam. It was really a pipe dream.
Master Sun smiled and said, "Thank you very much, young lady, for saving Xing'er. I wonder what you would like to repay me. Just tell me, and I will do my best to make it happen."
Su Nuan smiled slightly, "He said he wanted to marry me."
Master Sun looked at Su Nuan and nodded. "A man's word is his bond. Once you say it, you must do it. But let me check the auspicious date."
As he said this, he called a servant and asked him to bring him the almanac.
Su Nuan didn't expect that this guy was more anxious than herself, so it was a bit difficult to refuse.
Mr. Sun, who was looking through the almanac, smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow is an auspicious date. Why don't you get married the day after tomorrow? The betrothal gifts should be matched with those offered by the top families in the city."
Mrs. Sun next to her immediately said, "No, I don't agree."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself, "Auntie, please quickly convince him not to be so impatient."
Master Sun frowned and asked, "Why don't you agree? It's rare that Xing'er wants to get married. This matter must be done quickly."
Madam Sun gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, our Xing'er is the Marquis's legitimate son and will inherit the title in the future. A wild girl like this is not worthy of being his wife."
"It doesn't mean you have to marry her as a wife. Giving her a concubine would be a compliment to her."
Su Nuan said nothing and looked at Ouyang Xing.
Ouyang Xing frowned and said, "Without her, I would have died. Isn't it worth it for her to save me and trade my life for the position of legal wife?"
Mrs. Sun said earnestly, "Child, your aunt is doing this for your own good. She is just a little girl and can't help you at all."
"You should marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, so that you can help the Marquis's mansion in the future."
Ouyang Xing snorted coldly, "Everyone knows that the Marquisate has fallen on hard times. Being able to pass down the title is already a blessing. How can you still dream of climbing up the ranks?"
"I don't want any help, I just want to live a peaceful and stable life."
Mrs. Sun stood up anxiously, "But she doesn't even have a dowry, how can she support the Marquis's Mansion?"
Ouyang Xing was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He angrily said, "Do you want me to use my wife's dowry to subsidize the Marquis' Mansion? I don't have the nerve to do that."
Seeing Ouyang Xing angry, Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes and said, "Since you have made up your mind, she must listen to my teachings if she wants to marry you."
Ouyang Xing wanted to say something, but Su Nuan pulled his sleeve to stop him from speaking.
Su Nuan stepped forward and said, "Please speak frankly, Madam Sun."
Contempt flashed in Madam Sun's eyes, and she snorted coldly, "When you marry Xing'er, you must stay at home and manage the affairs of the mansion."
"Also, Xing'er is a filial child. You must be filial to your elders."
"You must have more children in the future, preferably two within three years. If you can't give birth to a son within three years, you must give up your position."
"After all, this inherited bloodline cannot be cut off from you, otherwise you will be a sinner of the Ouyang family."
Ouyang Xing opened his mouth to speak, but Su Nuan pulled him back, so he could only hold his words back.
Su Nuan looked at Mrs. Sun with a smile, "Anything else? Just tell me if you have any questions. I will answer them one by one and guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Mrs. Sun thought Su Nuan had given in, and a smug look flashed in her eyes.
She sat down slowly, picked up the teacup and took two sips to replenish the saliva she had spit out.
Mrs. Sun said, "Since Xing'er wants to pay the betrothal gift, then you must pay the dowry."
"The dowry doesn't need to be too much, just 66 will be fine."
"Also, you must bring all the betrothal gifts back to the Marquis' Mansion. After all, you are married, and the Marquis' Mansion is your home. You must use this dowry and betrothal gifts to support the Marquis' Mansion."
"Um……"
Mr. Sun felt that these words were too much. He coughed and said, "The betrothal gift is for others. Who would use the betrothal gift and dowry to support the husband's family?"
"Xing'er will be ridiculed by others. How is this different from marrying into the wife's family?"
Madam Sun glared at her, "Why not? For a wild girl like her to be the wife of a marquis, she's a blessing for three lifetimes. Don't interrupt me, I haven't finished yet."
Su Nuan was not angry yet and still looked at Mrs. Sun with a smile.
The space spirit was furious. "What kind of people are they? Is this how they treat their nephew's savior?"
"How dare you say so much? If you are sensible, you should give away all your family property and then marry you off in a grand ceremony in a sedan chair carried by eight people."
Su Nuan smiled secretly, "Don't be impatient, let her speak, otherwise I will be so angry that I faint, and then I won't know what she will say next."
The space spirit chuckled, "So you already had a plan. Fine, as long as you're not angry, I won't be angry. But... will you be angry if I treat you like a melon?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Eat as much as you want. I guarantee you'll be full."
The space spirit immediately became energetic, "Okay, I'm ready to eat melon."
Su Nuan suppressed her laughter and made herself look calm.
Ouyang Xing was so angry that he clenched his fists, like a frog full of anger.
Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes and continued, "How about this, as your aunt, I can't be too stingy. I'll find you a few maids to go with your dowry, so they can take care of Xing'er on your behalf when it's inconvenient for you."
