Chapter 27 - The family property belongs to you and I to you

"Mother will go take a look now." Gu's mother's face showed that he could not hide his smile. He quickly left the East Garden and rushed to the west pavilion.

Walking, Gu's mother seemed to have thought of something and stopped in place.

Look at her, she was so happy that she became confused, how could she go to a girl's house empty-handed? She turned around and ordered the maidservants behind her: "Huan`er, hurry back to the Southern Courtyard and prepare some gifts that the maidservants like, then send them to the Western Pavilion."

After giving orders, the Gu's mother headed towards the west pavilion.

When she heard that Gu's mother had arrived, she raised her hand and signaled the servant girl to prepare two bowls of plum soup.

"Which girl?" Old Mistress did not even raise her eyes as she focused on cultivating her branches. However, the corners of her mouth were raised, she naturally knew that she was talking to Yun Qin.

Seeing Old Mistress's relaxed and happy face, she stepped forward: "Stop teasing me, I have already prepared a present for you, quickly call out and let me see it."

"What did Meng'er say?" Hearing that, Old Mistress stopped her hands from moving.

In the past, when his family had urged him to marry, he had refused in a different way, wishing that he could hide far away and travel to the north and never come back. Now that she had gone, it all made sense.

"His daughter-in-law did as you said and urged him on as usual. After a few words, he let go and told me to come to the West Pavilion to take a look." The Gu's mother answered truthfully.

Old Mistress put down the scissors, her face could not help but reveal a happy smile, and she ordered the servants by the side to call Yun Qin over.

Gu's mother helped her to sit in a chair. It was as if a huge boulder had landed in her heart as she sighed and said, "It can be considered good now. Once Meng'er is married, and has someone as the director of the family, he won't stay out all day. "My Gu family can also extend the joss stick as soon as possible."

Old Mistress nodded, that's right.

Under the urging of the servant, Yun Qin quickly returned to the main hall and saw a lady dressed in luxurious clothing. She went in and blessed the person seated in front: "Old Mistress."

Yun Qin felt that the woman's gaze was always on him, her face was slightly hot, could it be … Had she not washed her face today?

"Come, take the first two steps and let me take a good look." The woman's voice was filled with joy.

Yun Qin obediently took two steps forward, seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, she smiled at her with curved eyes.

Gu's mother looked at her. Her appearance was much more beautiful than the beauties that were carved out of the same mold in the residence. Although her body was a little thinner, it shouldn't be a problem for her to give birth to a few fat kids.

Originally, Meng'er was worried about her, but when she saw Yun Qin, she immediately calmed down.

Just as he was thinking this, the maidservant beside him lowered her head and whispered in his ear, "Madam, this servant recognizes her. She is the little girl who burnt the kitchen."

Gu's mother glared at her. These things had to be learnt slowly.

Yun Qin laughed, as she had already guessed her identity. Seeing her unreasonably praising herself with a face full of satisfaction, she couldn't help but guess in her heart: Could it be that Gu Qingmeng's mother treats me differently because I have treated her like the leader of the Old Mistress?

She pondered for a while, when she heard Gu's mother calling out to her. A few servant girls came in with things in hand, on top of the plates were embroidered clothes, and all sorts of jewelry.

"Miss, this is my gift to you." Gu's mother gently said.

Yun Qin was overwhelmed by the favor, although she also wanted to take it, it was all because of the money, but she would never accept it. Furthermore, she still owed Gu Qingmeng that much money.

"Madam, Yun Qin cannot accept it."

"Why? Don't you like it? " The smile on Gu's mother's face dimmed. It was because she had been in too much of a hurry, she should first ask around and find out what that lady liked.

"The treatment for Old Mistress is something I should do, how can I accept it." Yun Qin said straightforwardly.

Gu's mother and Old Mistress did not laugh as they heard this. Seeing that this girl was sensible, they liked her more. They stepped forward and held her hands: "This is a greeting gift for you. Take it."

Gu's mother's eyes had a little light, it was as gentle as water. Yun Qin saw that she was insistent, but just as she was about to nod her head in thanks, she heard her wife say in a satisfied tone: "In the future, when you become my family's daughter-in-law, you can have whatever you want."

Hearing that, Yun Qin opened her eyes in shock. What the hell?

Seeing her shocked expression, Gu's mother smiled. So it turned out that her son was still a shy person. He liked her but didn't tell her about it.

"Good boy, what do you think about my Meng'er?"

Although Yun Qin had some opinions towards Gu Qingmeng, she did not dare to say it in front of the two elders.

She curled her lips and said against her will: "The people of Young Master are very good, very kind, and very protective of the fairer sex."

To the heavens and the earth, the above are all lies.

When he thought about how Gu Qingmeng had watched others bullying her and turned a blind eye to her cry for help in the brothel, he realized his conscience somehow and decided to save her … He had a good point, and that was that he hadn't really thrown her to the wolves.

"Is that so? Do you like him? " Gu's mother's eyes lit up, his face filled with anticipation.

"I don't like it." This kind of thing cannot go against one's conscience. Yun Qin replied honestly.

With great difficulty, Meng'er had a girl he liked. She did not give up and said: "Miss Yun, this old woman will just say it directly, Meng'er is already at the age of one to two. We want to find a lady for him to marry as soon as possible, and he said that he would not marry unless it's you, so I want to propose a marriage for him."

Yun Qin, "..." This dramatic reversal of events was no wonder the Madam had suddenly given her so many gifts.

What happened to Gu Qingmeng using her as a shield?

Yun Qin's face was red from anger, she forced a fake smile and spoke gently: "Madam, someone like Young Master, you should find a suitable young miss, Yun Qin is not worthy. "I feel a bit uncomfortable so I'll head back to my room first."

With that, she curtsied, turned, and hurried out of the room.

Leaving the Gu's mother in a mess in the wind... This was the first time she proposed on Gu Qingmeng's behalf, and she was rejected just like that? Thinking about it again, seeing her slightly red face, he guessed that she was too thin-skinned.

Thinking about it, Gu's mother revealed a smile that said "nothing can escape my eyes".

Yun Qin came out and ran towards the East Garden in anger.

Gu Qingmeng lied on the rocking chair and basked in the sun.

"Gu Qingmeng!" An angry shout pierced his ear drums, Gu Qingmeng slowly tilted his head. Presumably, she already knew about this matter.

"Is what your mother said true?" Yun Qin walked over to his side and asked.

Gu Qingmeng stood up while waving his fan, revealing a charming smile: "Of course. Get ready. "

"Prepare what?"

"Get married." he said matter-of-factly.

"I don't agree!" Yun Qin said loudly. Yuan Bao, who was at the side, heard the commotion and rushed over.

"You don't agree?" The smile on Gu Qingmeng's face slowly froze.
