Chapter 266 Why is their Marquis’ Mansion so miserable?

Mother Wen turned around and walked out, but unexpectedly Su Jin had already arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

The dead are the greatest, and Su Jin is the goddaughter of the Marquis's Mansion. When they divorced, outsiders also saw how well Gu Zhao and Zou treated her. Even for the sake of her own reputation, Su Jin should come to pay her respects.

This is the only bad thing about ancient times. If you want to learn from modern people and completely ignore what others say, this would never work in ancient times.

People in ancient times lived on their reputation. If they lost their reputation, they would be worse off dead than alive.

So when Mother Wen walked to the door, she saw Su Jin being supported by Yuchuan and Gu Suiyu.

I was already sick, and even though I was pretending, I still had to pretend to the end.

Su Jin specially put on some makeup, her face was pale with a bluish tint, her hair was casually tied up, and the mourning clothes made her look even more haggard. She walked weakly and couldn't help coughing twice while walking, which made Mother Wen very distressed when she saw it.

There was a butler at the door to receive guests. When he saw Su Jin, the butler had to hurry up to greet her. However, there were too many people coming today, so it was difficult for the butler to leave. Mother Wen held the butler down and went to greet them herself.

"You are not feeling well. The old lady just told me to go and tell you that you don't need to come!"

Mother Wen was also sad. The old marquis seemed to be in good health. Although he fell ill before the New Year, he managed to survive the most difficult winter. How could he die in the spring?

In addition, Su Jin came here today despite being sick, which touched Mother Wen even more. She could only say that Su Jin was indeed a great guy.

"Cough cough..." Su Jin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, saying weakly: "The old marquis treats me like his own son, I, I should come... cough cough..."

"Mother, please talk less."

Gu Suiyu showed a worried look at the right moment. Seeing this, Mother Wen waved away Yuchuan and supported the other side herself: "Come, I'll help you in."

"Sorry to trouble Mommy Wen... ahem..."

Su Jin walked in weakly.

Many people came to pay their respects, including many of the old marquis's friends and subordinates.

In addition to these people, many people from the court also came, including Prime Minister Dou Qin. Although he did not like Gu Changqing, he still admired the old marquis's military career.

"Madam, the Sixth Miss is here!"

Mother Wen helped the person in. When Zou saw Su Jin, who was so weak but still wanted to come, she could no longer hold back the tears that she had been holding back all morning, and they began to fall.

Gu Zhao was gone, and Zou was sad, but she had to deal with the funeral, so she endured it all. Now seeing Su Jin, it was like seeing someone to rely on, and Zou could no longer hold back her tears.

The old lady was crying, and Su Jin couldn't just stand there and stare. She could only hug the old lady and pretend to cry, then randomly put some saliva on her face to show that she was crying miserably too.

"You are the one who understands my well-being and knows that I am sad. You dragged your sick body and came here in person."

Zou cried so sadly that even Mother Wen shed tears. She patted the old lady on the back and comforted her: "Sixth Miss is filial!"

Yes, yes, she came here just for the reputation of being filial, please tell me more!

In ancient times, a good reputation was never too little. At the Enrong Banquet, she had already established her reputation as a good wife and mother. Now, with her reputation as a filial son, the rest of her life would be truly secure.

As she was talking, there was a sudden noisy sound outside. Mother Wen was furious. She didn't even look at the time and there were so many guests outside. What was the point of making so much noise?

Zou was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed outside and yelled, "Call them in!"

Soon, people came in. It turned out that two maids were arguing about the food provided to the guests. One said the dishes were not right, and the other said that not enough money was given. The two people argued all the way over this standard.

Zou asked what dishes were available, and the old woman answered one by one. The more she spoke, the uglier Zou's face became.

Before things were done here, another maid came up and said, "Madam, I didn't remember the funeral money given by the guests, and I don't know who gave how much. Also, the number of steamed buns I brought for the guests when they left didn't seem to be enough..."

Well, the whole condolence is such a mess!

Zou was so angry that she asked Mama Wen to go and take a look. Only then she discovered that some people were busy as hell, while some people were idle and gambling in the corridor. On the other hand, some guests were left aside. Gu Changqing could not take care of so many people alone, and Mama Wen's face became very ugly.

As these things were reported one by one, Zou was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet: "I am old and useless. Gu Changqing now lets that concubine manage the household. Look, it has become like this? The little reputation your father had accumulated through half his life of hard work in the military has been completely lost today!!"

How could Zou not be angry?

Not only did Gu Changqing bring Lin Wanhui back, he even let Lin Wanhui be the housekeeper. The main reason was that there was really no one else in the mansion except Lin Wanhui, there were An Xiaoniang and the others. They were all concubines, so wouldn't it make any difference who was in charge?

Gu Changqing was too lazy to change it. After all, Lin Wanhui was comfortable using it herself. As a result, today's condolence caused a big joke.

The guests were all watching, even Dou Qin couldn't help shaking his head, he felt that the Yong'an Marquisate was really finished. After the old marquis died, the emperor still hadn't mentioned the matter of inheriting the title. It seemed that the Yong'an Marquisate would be gone in this generation.

Zou was so angry that she started to cry. Su Jin pretended to stand up and said, "Mother, I... ahem, I'll go take care of it..."

Just as he stood up, he fell back down again. Zou was terrified and quickly grabbed Su Jin and said, "You are not feeling well, so don't go. If something happens again, your father will not be able to die peacefully."

Su Jin continued to perform: "But, but we can't let Kekeke and let others laugh at us..."

Zou was even more moved.

Look, how great it is! After all, I still consider the reputation of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. I can only say that I am just a concubine, and I am not as good as Su Jin!

"Mother, I'll go."

Gu Sui Yu volunteered. At this time, someone had to clean up the mess. She didn't want her mother to worry about it, so she decided to come out and share Su Jin's worries.

Yes, not for the Marquis’ Mansion, but for Su Jin.

"Well, if Lin Wanhui doesn't listen to you... ahem..."

Su Jin started to cough and couldn't say the rest of the words, but Zou spoke up. She continued to whisper in Su Jin's ear: "Then beat him, beat him hard, beat him to death!"

Gu Sui Yu finally felt more confident. It turned out that the Marquis' Mansion still had to save face.

"Mother Wen, you go with me!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

The two left in a hurry, leaving only Su Jin and Zou in the room.

Zou felt that Su Jin was getting better and better. She thought that she felt that Su Jin was not well a few days ago and thought that she was pretending to be sick and refused to come. Now that she came, looking at this sick little face, Zou felt that she had thought too much and that Su Jin's health was really getting worse.

But when she thought about herself and everything that happened now, Zou started crying again.

Why is their Marquis' Mansion so miserable?
