How many boxes were brought out? They were looked down upon by others. The importance the husband placed on his new daughter-in-law, as well as his family background, all left a message for others.

In the early morning, the Xie Clan was bustling with activity as they went in and out of the courtyard. The Marquis Anfeng Residence had brought twenty to thirty boxes of betrothal gifts in succession, and this wasn't even adding banknotes. This display of power was comparable to the marriage of a daughter from a top family. Some people had weaker backgrounds, and these twenty to thirty boxes were worth an entire fortune.

Gu Yun had personally paid a visit and was completely sincere. It could be seen that the Marquis Anfeng Palace had spent a lot of resources and resources, even when they married the Xie Family lady, they did not have such a grand show.

Other than Eldest Young Master being a little useless, there was nothing bad about the rest. From the steward to the attendant girl, all of them secretly glanced at Third Young Master; he was simply too famous and too mysterious. Although his reputation wasn't that great, it still made people curious about him.

It wasn't as unsightly as being sick! Many girls were muttering in their hearts. They thought they were going to walk three steps at a time, with their waists bent or their faces sallow.

Looking at it this way, the Eldest Young Master didn't need anyone to help him, nor did he need a walking stick. He appeared to be very tall and straight, even taller than Second Young Master. On his face were some of the patients' pale complexions, but it was still okay. If you looked more carefully, it would look pretty good, with dark eyebrows, a straight nose, and a mouth that was not as thin as the Second Young Master's. It made people feel very comfortable.

Was this person really sick? Many people could not help but have the same question as the first time Xie Jingxi met him.

"Third Young Master can't blame me for being nice in the future."

It was unknown who whispered something, but it was heard by Gu Yun. He glanced at the little girl with a smile on his face, thinking that she was clever, and upon seeing Gu Yun, the little girl immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and ran off to work.

Lady Xu was also startled when she saw Gu Yun for the first time. She had probably only seen him on the day of the production of Second Miss, but because she was too sad then, she did not pay attention to him. It was because she did not like this young master from the bottom of her heart, and did not value him that much.

Adding on the fact that Gu Yun was purposely putting on an act today, naturally, it looked different. He cupped his hands towards Xie Cen and Lady Xu, "Thank you, Sir, Thank you Madam."

Xie Cen had the ability to judge people, he had never noticed this young master before, but today, after looking closely, four words flashed in his mind, this brat was still alright.

"How are Marquis and Marquis' Wife doing?" Xie Cen asked.

"Mother hasn't been feeling very well these days, and I was afraid that I might pass up my illness on my happy days, so I didn't come. I think the two families are no longer outsiders, so there's no need to be concerned about these empty courtesies. It's the same for me personally coming here."

Only the person involved would know whether it was because he was sick or because he didn't want to come, but inside Gu Yun's words, it was clearly a matter of his marriage. It was the same whether they came or not.

Xie Cen could not help but be taken aback, and look at the betrothal gift that this huge courtyard could not hold, what was there more he didn't understand? Marquis Mansion had not even made such a decision to marry Second Master, so why would they give this to Gu Yun?

Could it be that it was given to him by the King Jin? Xie Cen couldn't help but ponder in his heart, looking like Gu Yun had some sort of relationship with King Jin.

It was not that she had never seen money before, but she had never seen someone getting married like this before either. For a moment, she felt that it was all due to her vanity, and feeling that Gu Yun had given her some face, even looking at him became more pleasing to her eyes.

This is reasonable, our two families are already one and the same, why bother about such things, it's the same for Young Master, Chan Er, quickly go and serve Young Master some tea. Lady Xu's words immediately changed, "Your mother is also working hard, if Second Miss's health is not good, it will be hard on her. That large family is enough for her to work hard, when Third Sister gets married, I can give her a hand and let her rest."

Gu Yun looked up at Lady Xu and laughed. Lady Xu was stunned by his gaze, did she think that I said the wrong thing?

What she said wasn't wrong. The fact that a new daughter-in-law could help her mother-in-law take care of the family was a sign of interest. It would be even better if she could take care of the household matters. For example, when she first married into the Second Miss, it was natural for her to be the housekeeper. However, when she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, the responsibility of the butler fell to the Marquis' Wife.

Anyone could tell that the second young mistress did not have the ability to be the butler. Marquis' Wife would rather be affected than give up, then he would really look down upon her talent. Lady Xu also understood his daughter's worth. She knew clearly that when she first wanted Third Sister to marry Yue'er and fill in the rooms, she had to consider this as well. Third Miss's meticulous judgement had perfectly matched Second Miss's strength.

However, when these words were heard by Gu Yun, he could not help but be a little unhappy. His wife was in so much pain that she could not bear to listen, there was plenty to manage about Marquis Mansion, why would his wife come over to help the Lady Zeng?

Lady Xu was broken into pieces from his gaze, and did not remember a word of what she should have said. Luckily, Old Madem came over and resolved the somewhat awkward situation in front of him.

"Mother." Xie Cen personally went to support her, but he was actually thrown off by the old lady and went to sit at the top seat, "You are the young master of the Gu family?"

When the old lady came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, but Gu Yun still maintained his respectful bow, "Gu Yun greets Old Madem."

The old lady sized him up with a cold gaze. She seemed to feel that he had said more than that and didn't say anything else. Instead, she got down to business. "You're the one who wants to marry my granddaughter?"

The old lady did not come with good intentions, but Gu Yun spoke in a serious tone: "Gu Yun has fallen in love with Jingwan at first sight, so I naturally wish to see her. Inviting Prince Jin's Wife to come speak as a matchmaker, is not to use power to suppress others, but instead, it's for sincerity. Although Gu Yun cannot give Jingwan wealth and honor, he will definitely give her the best, and Old Madem has raised his for more than ten years., Gu Yun understands the pain in his heart, and the reluctance to part with his, if Old Madem is able to hand over the latter half of her life to me without worry, I will not let her down."

Xie Jingxi was actually stunned, all of her worries along the way seemed to have been affected by those words, causing her to be unable to move at all. She didn't have the eye piercing gaze from Hua Mei who held up the betrothal gift, nor did she have the perfunctory attitude of a guest when facing Xie Cen and Lady Xu.

was not the only one who was at a loss as to what to do. Even himself was stunned, and the old lady was caught unprepared by his attack.

Gu Yun's expression was normal, he only looked at Old Madem humbly and courteously, with a hint of hope in his eyes, but most of all, he was magnanimous and determined to win. But in Xie Jingxi's mind, it was as if he was chanting scriptures, repeating the words he had said a moment ago. Where is it? Was it on the day of Marquis Mansion? She was just squatting on the ground, looking at a few stalks of grass.

The number of times they had seen this, they could even count it with one hand. Then, if Gu Yun was acting, then wouldn't this act of his be too good? What could he say? He did not extravagantly promise wealth and honor, nor did he speak good words, her words were sincere and sincere, and most of her words were to understand the elder's feelings. Those words had stabbed straight into the heart of Old Madem.

He said he was sick? How many years could he live? Not to mention the old lady, even without heart and lungs, no one could ask. Such a child, even if he sincerely came to ask to marry your young lady, he could not pick on her no matter how much he looked down on her. A kind-hearted person like the old lady could only shut her mouth and not say a single word.

But that was also the most worrying thing. No matter how good you were, no matter how much you liked the scenery, if you didn't live long, it would all be for naught. However, no one knew what a girl wanted more than an old lady.

She did not wish for Jingwan to become a widow like her in the future, so how could she let Jingwan face such difficulties once again? This was also the biggest reason why she had always disagreed, and if it were not for what Gu Yun had said today, she would have been unshakable in opposing this marriage.

"You are a good child, but …"

Before Old Madem could finish her words, Zhao Zhang said from the outside: "Young Master, everything is here. Marquis just sent someone over to deliver a letter, he said it would be here in a moment."

"Zhao Zhang?" He walked through the crowd and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zhao Zhang who was outside the door, "You're not that day..."

seemed to know how to read his eyes as he walked over, "You are Old Madem of the Shen Family?"

The old lady looked at him in surprise, then looked at Gu Yun and realised, "So the person who gifted you the medicine that day was you!"

Delivery? Xie Jingxi was startled, it seems that the medicine the old lady got that day was given to her by Gu Yun? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? When Old Madem told him about what happened that day, Xie Cen was also stunned.

However, Gu Yun was secretly saying that Zhao Zhang had acted on his own initiative and came in to meddle in other people's business, but he did not want others to know of his whereabouts, so he did not mind and said: "Old Madem is too courteous, Gu Yun is just an idle person, there are one or two people who are familiar with him on the road to the north and south, and on the way there, I casually helped out a little, and the medicine was obtained by chance from elsewhere, is the medicine used by the Old Madem right?"

The old lady said, "It's all thanks to that medicine of yours. I didn't make any mistakes this year."
