According to the rules, the Countess naturally wanted to meet her third aunt, Gu Xiaolang's biological mother, but due to the current situation of the Gu family and the time being it was indeed not appropriate, so she agreed to this compromise.

"Then I'll trouble Madam Xing to arrange it."

"No trouble, no trouble, Countess, take a good rest, I will deliver the letter right away."

After Mrs. Xing left, the Countess and her daughter-in-law Li looked around. The Xing family's yard was really well tidied and much more comfortable to live in than Wangjiang Tower.

There are no other unmarried women in the family now, so Yan Silang can live here with them without having to be shy about anything.

When the news reached the Gu family, Du Jingyi was also somewhat surprised.

It's not surprising that someone would come to the Earl's Mansion, and it was intentional for them to come at this time. After all, it was announced to the public that Gu Xiaolang was still looking for a son-in-law, and not many people in Jinling City knew Yan Sanlang's true identity, so the Countess's visit really saved the Earl's Mansion's reputation.

With this in mind, Du Jingyi specially invited several aunts and sisters-in-law to explain the matter to them. The third aunt wanted to go and see him, but it was not in accordance with etiquette. Finally, the eldest aunt came out and made the final decision.

"I'll go with you. We don't need to meet the elders of the Gu family. It's most appropriate for the two of us to go to this family."

Du Jingyi meant the same thing, and then he spoke to his third aunt and Gu Xiaolang.

"Don't worry, what we agreed on before won't change. Even if they use the money from the Earl's Mansion, we will never let Sister Lang suffer any injustice."

Third Aunt and Gu Xiaolang believed it firmly.

The next day, the Xing Mansion was unusually lively.

Not only were there distinguished guests, but Du Jingyi and the eldest aunt also came in person, and Lord Xing, Madam Xing, and Xing Zhao were there to accompany them, and the table was filled with harmony.

The Countess came up and took out a few small boxes, but inside them were shops and fields of great value. Mrs. Xing made a casual estimate and estimated that the value of the items was at least hundreds of thousands of taels.

When they saw these boxes, Du Jingyi and his aunt understood something.

It seems that I still need to have an excuse for today's meal, and then I heard the countess say with a guilty look on her face.

"Sanlang has always been a very opinionated child. He is not afraid of being laughed at by you. There has been no news since he left Sui'an City a few years ago. I thought something had happened to him, but I got the good news that he and Xiaolang were getting married. So I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for nights at home. I was thinking that I must not let Xiaolang down."

"I originally thought that after returning to Sui'an City, they would live in the Earl's Mansion, and they would be treated well in terms of food, clothing, and other expenses. But Sanlang refused to go back no matter what, and I had no choice but to let him stay in Jinling City. This is the root of the Gu family, and he will have to come to pay tribute to us more often in the future. So if there is anything inappropriate, I hope you will forgive him because he is so far away from home."

The Countess spoke with such sincerity that the aunt smiled and nodded in response.

"Sanlang is a good boy, and he has a deep relationship with our Lang'er. Madam Countess, don't worry. The Gu family will not treat him unfairly."

"Yes, it's just that their marriage was so sudden, and we didn't have much preparation. Please accept this little gift and consider it as a betrothal gift to Xiaolang. The yard is really small, and we wanted to buy a bigger house, but Sanlang said he wanted to earn his own money. There's nothing I can do. As a mother, I can't persuade my son, so I can only let him do what he wants."

The box was handed to the aunt and Du Jingyi. If they accepted it at this moment, it would be tantamount to admitting that Gu Xiaolang was married outside, so the two of them were as calm as a rock, and did not respond. They just smiled and did not make any other movements.

The Countess's expression changed from smiling to somewhat embarrassed. After all, Yan Sanlang couldn't bear to see his mother, who had traveled thousands of miles, being so humble, and he didn't want to make things difficult for the Gu family, so he simply stood up and spoke.

"Mother, I have already told you that the Earl's Mansion will not take a single cent. I don't want it, and the Gu family is even less likely to want it. I am very happy that you have come to see my marriage, but if you keep arguing over these issues, in the end, it will only push me further away."

"How...how can you talk like that? How can you talk back to your mother?"

The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, was a little angry and felt that her third brother was really stupid. It was obvious that the mother-in-law just wanted to hear a positive answer from the Gu family so that she could say something good about them in front of her father-in-law when she returned. But now, there was really no way out for them.

At this point, Yan Sanlang refused to give in and said.

"I don't mean to contradict mother. I am glad that you have come all the way here. But if you are here for my marriage, I welcome you. If you are here to compete with the Gu family, then I don't appreciate your intentions, sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law Li didn't expect that the two years of absence would make the reckless and stubborn third brother change into a different person. He could find the point at a glance when speaking and doing things. After his thoughts were exposed, she didn't say anything more.

And the aunt and Du Jingyi were obviously very satisfied with Yan Sanlang's attitude.

In fact, if the people from the Earl's Mansion came here sincerely for the marriage of the two, they would also have to talk about the visit. After all, Yan Sanlang's future lies here, and he will not stay in Jinling City forever. And for the sake of the Earl's Mansion and the Prince's face, they will not really force this matter.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But Du Jingyi was a little unhappy with the way the Earl's Mansion forced them to express their opinions right away. If her husband's family was too strong, it would depend on what kind of person her husband was. Otherwise, Gu Xiaolang would suffer if she married into their family.

Now after seeing Yan Sanlang's attitude, they were completely relieved.

As long as he has the right ideas and doesn't always favor his own family, Gu Xiaolang's life will be much better.

The situation at the table was a little awkward for a moment, and both Mrs. Xing and Lord Xing came out to smooth things over.

"We are all family, so just say what you want to say. Don't be so angry, okay, Shao Yu's wife."

Mrs. Xing knew what the Gu family meant, and naturally knew their intention of not accepting the challenge. However, the Earl's Mansion was, after all, the Crown Princess's family, and with this marriage relationship in place, there was no way to escape it in the future. Therefore, a soft word at this moment would also make Gu Xiaolang more comfortable in the Earl's Mansion in the future.

Du Jingyi smiled and then tried to continue the conversation.

Who would have thought that Yan Silang was so quick to speak that he immediately broke the window paper. (End of this chapter)
