Chapter 041 Honoring Mother

Chapter 041 Honoring Mother

"Father, thanks to you, the whole capital now knows that the person who is going to marry Chen Xinlian is Gu Ziyun. Why are you talking about continuing now? Is it because the Marquis' Mansion has no face, or the Shangshu Mansion has no face?"

Could it be that just because they were brothers, they could swap their marriage partners without knowing why? What on earth was he to his father?

"This was originally your marriage. If you hadn't insisted on getting entangled with the prostitute, it wouldn't have turned out like this. Gu Zixuan, isn't this all your problem?"

Faced with Gu Changqing's harsh rebuke, Gu Zixuan just wanted to laugh.

He was a heartless playboy, and he never expected that someone would be even more heartless than him.

The young man frowned and glanced over with a light gaze, which was filled with rude contempt and disdain. It could only be said that he knew too little about his father. He used to think that his father was strict, but now he realized that he was not only strict, but also blind!

"I finally understand why my mother always quarrels with you."

Gu Changqing was furious: "What do you mean!"

Gu Zixuan was too lazy to say anything else. He just bowed and said, "I'm tired and I'm going to rest. Chen Xinlian can marry whoever she wants. Anyway, the groom will definitely not be me!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away, leaving Gu Changqing furious: "Gu Zixuan! You beast! If you don't marry her, I wonder what you'll do in the future. You have no knowledge, you're nothing, you're a hopeless person..."

It turns out that his father still thinks he is incompetent!

Gu Zixuan picked his ears and suddenly felt that it didn't matter. He walked away without looking back. When passing by Liuting Pavilion, he glanced over there. The door was closed and the lanterns cast a cold light. Compared with his father, he actually wanted to see his mother more.

"Forget it, I'll see you tomorrow. Mother is not in good health and must have rested long ago."

Gu Zixuan thought with rare thoughtfulness.

Lin Wanhui naturally knew about the quarrel between the father and son tonight.

When Lin Wanhui heard that Gu Changqing had decided to let Gu Zixuan remarry Chen Xinlian, she knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer. She had to issue the engagement letter and go through the procedures quickly, otherwise, the cooked duck might fly away.

Lying in bed at night, Lin Wanhui was still thinking over and over what to do, which made her unable to sleep well all night.

However, Su Jin slept well.

It's really refreshing.

She stretched out and let Jinchuan and Yuchuan help her with dressing and washing. She even closed her eyes while she combed her hair. It was such a great pleasure.

"Madam, I heard that Mu Yanluo lost her position as the top prostitute in Baihua Tower. The new top prostitute seems to be a girl named Shishi. It must be because of what happened yesterday. Mu Yanluo herself has a bad character and wants to put the blame on our Brother Xuan. Whoever wants to get himself into trouble deserves it!"

Yuchuan's face was filled with joy.

After she heard about what happened last night, she was so angry that she kept shouting that she should have been the one serving last night. If it were her, she would have slapped Mu Yanluo several times!

"You little vixen, you have so many tricks up your sleeve. If the lady hadn't been prepared, she might have really fallen for that little bitch. Not only would she have to be welcomed into the family, but she would also have to raise a child for someone else!"

Jin Chuan became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she accidentally hit Su Jin too hard, causing him to hiss in pain as he pulled his scalp.

"This slave deserves to die!"

Jin Chuan was so scared that she knelt down quickly, but Su Jin was completely awake at this moment. There was no way he could wake up because of the pain.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and comb your hair. I'm hungry."

Jin Chuan then quickly got up and continued combing her hair.

"Madam."

Jin Chuan held up an account book and said softly, "We have spent about 70 or 80 taels of silver in the past few days. Madam, you should save some money this month."

Seventy or eighty taels? Why so much?

Su Jin was surprised: "I didn't do anything."

I have food and lodging in the mansion, and I get twenty taels of allowance every month. How come I have spent so much in just a few days?

Jin Chuan handed over the account, which was clearly written down.

"First, I took Xuan to visit a brothel. That day, I spent six taels and three cents. Mu Yanluo was the top prostitute, and she cost two taels just to see her. Not to mention the food and drinks. And last night, at the poetry gathering, the boat trip cost fifty taels. Snacks were free, but drinks were free. Also, the lady asked someone to make new clothes for the children, and there was also money for the servants..."

Su Jin handed all the accounts to the two maids, who were very helpful and remembered them clearly.

If you calculate it this way, it really cost a lot of money.

Su Jin owns many shops, but the profits are not high. The total profits of all the shops are just over one hundred taels. Although the manor also has income, the income can only be settled after the harvest at the end of the year.

All she could spend now was the profit from the shop, but before the month was even half over, she had already spent most of her money. Looking at it this way, more than one hundred taels of silver a month didn't seem like a lot to spend.

"Madam, you should save some money, but the flower boat still costs a lot, and you don't go on a flower boat every day."

Yuchuan joined in, but she still sided with Su Jin.

But, isn't Su Jin's goal to just lie down? How can it be called lying down if you have no money to spend? You should be able to spend money however you want and do whatever is comfortable for you. That's called lying down.

Why not take a flower boat or something?

It's lively and interesting, and the boat ride is very comfortable. When the weather gets hot, she wants to go boating on the lake. Doesn't that mean she will have to ride the boat often?

Find some pretty girls to dance and sing, this is life.

Su Jin thought for a moment and said, "Well, when I have time, I'll go check out the shops in the city first."

Madam, are you going to inspect the shop?

The two maids looked at each other and were even more surprised. In the past, the mistress was always a hands-off boss who didn't care about anything.

"Madam, would you like to say hello to Sun Lan's family?"

Although Su Jin was not needed to manage the shop, there was still someone in charge, and the people employed were all their own people. Sun Lan used to serve Su Jin, and after they got married, the man helped Su Jin manage the business.

"No need for now, let's go take a look first and come back to talk about it if there's anything."

"yes."

As they were talking, Gu Zixuan came in from outside.

The young man was in particularly high spirits today, with joy in his eyes and eyebrows. As soon as he entered the door, he handed the snacks in his hand to Su Jin.

"Mother, a son should respect his mother."

Su Jin looked at him in surprise and immediately started to ridicule him, "Why, you're not running away from home?"

Gu Zixuan's handsome face turned red, but he still sat down on the chair in a very rogue manner, humming: "A good man doesn't wear a green hat."

He then laughed again and said, "Mom, please try it. You have never eaten this snack before. It is delicious."

Su Ji then looked at the things on the table and was surprised to find that these were snacks from the palace.

Yuchuan exclaimed, "Palace snacks?"

Gu Zixuan then smiled complacently, his eyes and eyebrows became more charming, and he looked very suave.
