Chapter 226: Marriage Discussion

Xie Huaiguang had a rare chance to taste what sour was.

He feels sour now.

How should I put it? I used to think that I had just a slight affection for Su Jin, but now it seems that it is more than just a slight affection. It seems that there is really more than just a little affection.

"Huai Guang, let's go!"

Zhao Jingyu greeted him from the front, and Xie Huaiguang smiled slightly: "Okay."

After seeing these two people off, let’s go back and sit with Su Jin.

As for the rumors spread by the people around him just now, that he and Su Jin were having an affair?

Oh, he is not afraid of this at all.

Everyone left slowly. On the other side, Lin Wanhui also returned to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

The last few men Lin Wanhui met at the temple fair made her feel the long-lost inferiority again. She had only experienced this inferiority around Su Jin before, but now it made her feel her own humbleness deeply again.

So as soon as she returned home, she called Gu Ruyu over.

"What are you doing, girl?"

"Whatever you do, of course, we need to discuss your marriage!"

Lin Wanhui figured it out. She felt that it was already great that she had managed to get to this point. She could not reach any higher ceiling. All she could do was let her daughter Gu Ruyu fulfill her wish.

Her son Gu Ziyun was exiled to the northwest. She cried and worried about it, but she was helpless. Not only her, but also Gu Changqing and even the entire marquis's mansion were helpless. So, now the only one she could count on was Gu Ruyu.

"Gu Suiyu can be promised to the eldest princess's youngest son. My Ruyu is so good, I must find a better marriage than her!"

Gu Ruyu's eyes lit up, and she hesitated to speak: "Little girl, that..."

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief shyly. Lin Wanhui saw that she still didn't understand something and immediately said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"I'm a girl, don't be embarrassed!"

Lin Wanhui was anxious: "I am your biological mother, why are you so embarrassed to say it!"

Gu Ruyu laughed: "It was the last time at the banquet..."

When mentioning the Enrong Banquet, Lin Wanhui's face turned ugly.

Everything was apparently going well, but it all went wrong because of the Enrong Banquet. Even his good son, who had passed the imperial examination and ranked second, was forced to be exiled because of the Enrong Banquet!

Seeing Lin Wanhui's unhappy expression, Gu Ruyu quickly said, "Didn't I go to participate? I met a lot of young masters there!"

Hearing this, Lin Wanhui's eyes suddenly lit up.

"We are really smart. Since Su Jin has brought us there, we can't return empty-handed. We have to leave something behind. This way, we can be worthy of your brother who is in exile!"

The more Lin Wanhui spoke, the more she gritted her teeth. Gu Ruyu nodded, "I thought so too, so when Gu Suiyu asked me to sit down, I didn't sit down. I rolled my eyes and left!"

"well done!"

Lin Wanhui gave a thumbs up. Why not take such a good opportunity to get to know a noble young man?

As a girl living in the backyard, there are not so many opportunities to come into contact with outsiders. The Enrong Banquet is the best opportunity!

"Tell me quickly, who did you meet?"

Gu Ruyu smiled shyly: "Actually, I have met quite a few, but I think the best one is Xu Shaozhen, the brother from the Duke's Mansion. I think he seems to have feelings for me too."

As he spoke, he took out a pile of letters, which were all communications between the two of them.

Lin Wanhui's eyes lit up.

"You guys still write letters?"

Gu Ruyu nodded.

"I can't go to Xu Shaozhen's house to dance. Jin Mingchi spanked me so hard that my butt still hurts. So I thought, maybe I should write a letter first..."

"We are still as smart as jade!"

Lin Wanhui's praises really made Gu Ruyu laugh out loud. She also felt that she was smart. As for dancing, she would just dance well for her husband when she got to the Duke's Mansion. As long as she could keep his favor, everything would be hers!

Gu Ruyu's face was all smiles.

"In that case, I will send your father over to get some information..."

Lin Wanhui was overjoyed.

Although the Grand Princess is very powerful, she is, after all, a woman and has little influence in the court. If you really look at the Grand Princess's husband's family, the Yin family, they have nothing to do with the royal family.

If Lin Wanhui in the past saw the current Yin Mansion, she would definitely be envious. But now, she is a concubine in the Marquis' Mansion. She really looks down on such a thing that has nothing to do with the royal family.

But the Duke's Mansion is different.

Dukes, marquises, and earls, the position of duke is higher than that of marquis, which means that if Ruyu marries him, she will be considered marrying a noble lady, and will be the eldest lady of the duke's mansion in the future. As for Gu Ruyu, the fake Yin Zhengnan is just a playboy with no ability. When the eldest princess dies in the future, the entire Yin mansion will be nothing. With this calculation, he is really not as good as his own daughter!

The more Lin Wanhui thought about it, the happier she became.

She thought that she could not compare to Su Jin, but her daughter could surpass Su Jin's daughter, and that was enough!

Absolutely perfect!

"Then, will my dowry be larger than Sui Yu's?"

Gu Ruyu said this because of the betrothal gift from the Grand Princess's Mansion.

That night pearl, that red coral, any one of them could dazzle Gu Ruyu's eyes. Since ancient times, the regulations for betrothal gifts and dowries have been almost the same. In other words, when Gu Suiyu got married, she had to bring out a dowry of equal value so as not to be outdone.

Well, since Gu Suiyu’s dowry is so lavish, and she marries into a wealthy family, shouldn’t her dowry be even richer?

Lin Wanhui almost jumped up and cheered.

Of course, if this could be accomplished, the dowry for Ruyu would definitely be higher than Suiyu's. Even though she is a legitimate daughter, one's own daughter would be married off as a rich man!

Even though her daughter's birth date was not even decided, Lin Wanhui had already started fantasizing about her daughter's dowry. As for the three shops she got, she didn't even go to them, let alone manage them. She just collected money every month.

As Lin Wanhui thought about it and it seemed more and more beautiful, she could no longer sit still and turned to go to Gu Changqing's yard.

This trip is not a big deal, it is simply walking into a trap.

Sitting in Gu Changqing's room were Gu Zhao, Gu Suiyu, and the managers of the three shops managed by Lin Wanhui.

Lin Wanhui walked in happily, but as soon as she came in, she couldn't smile anymore.

Her heart skipped a beat almost immediately, and she felt unwell.

She really wanted to turn around and walk out, but unfortunately, she had already been seen by everyone and could not leave at all. She could only bite the bullet and walk inside.

"Hello, old master..."

Lin Wanhui bowed one by one. When she saw Gu Suiyu, although she was reluctant, she still had to bow. After all, she was just a concubine now.

"Meet... Fourth Miss."

Gu Suiyu smiled slightly.

Her temperament now is becoming more and more like Su Jin, especially this smile now. It's just a curl of her lips, but her eyes are filled with coldness. The look he gave her from head to toe was like he was looking at some cheap stuff.

Lin Wanhui felt even more unhappy.
