Mu Yingluo specially chose a white mourning dress today, but it was also carefully made, making her look particularly beautiful.

The first moment she saw Gu Beishen, tears started to fall from her eyes.

Mu Jiusheng looked away, he really is good at acting.

The water in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is not as much as Mu Yingluo's tears.

"Brother Beishen, don't be too sad. If Lord Gu knew you were like this, he would definitely be very sad."

Mu Yingluo said while wiping her tears.

Mu Jiusheng wanted to laugh. Isn't it normal for a son to be sad when his father dies? Moreover, today is the first day. Could it be that Gu Beishen has to happily set off firecrackers at his father's funeral hall so that his father won't be sad?

"Mu Jiusheng, what's with that expression!!!"

Mu Yingluo originally had no intention of paying any attention to Mu Jiusheng.

She was feeling happy, but she didn't expect that Zheng Minghua would kill Gu Chensong so quickly.

Now, once Gu Chensong dies, Gu Beishen will be the definite successor.

When the time comes, if Gu Beishen says he wants to marry her, is there anyone who dares to refuse?

"It's not that I'm too sad, so I couldn't control my expression. I'm sorry." Mu Jiusheng apologized very half-heartedly.

Mu Yingluo took a deep breath and thought, forget it, she didn’t want to bother with that bitch Mu Jiusheng.

"Brother Beishen..."

"I'm fine, Yingluo, don't worry. I'm very happy that you can put aside the past and come to see your father." Gu Beishen was very moved.

Mu Yingluo leaned on his shoulder and said, "Brother Beishen, don't say such things. Your father is my father, and I have always respected Lord Gu. It's just that Lord Gu didn't like me very much before, and I don't know if he will be happy that I came here today."

"Father has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Don't worry. He won't blame you. If he is still alive today and sees you coming here so sincerely to pray for him and send him off for the last time, I believe father will change his previous prejudice against you." Gu Beishen said with two lines of tears falling down his face.

The Gu family is a dangerous place. Now that his father is gone, other families have already started to take action. I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to keep his position as the eldest son.

But no matter what, he will find a way to give Mu Yingluo a good life.

"Master, something bad has happened. Someone is causing trouble outside and wants you to pay back the money."

"what money?"

Gu Beishen frowned. When his father was alive, he had never heard his father say that he owed anyone money.

"I don't know. The man said his last name is Peng, and his name is Peng Feiyu. Previously, Young Master Gu borrowed 200,000 taels of silver from him in the name of the master. Now the loan is due, but Young Master Gu has not paid back the money."

"That's Young Master Gu's business. Why are you looking for Brother Beisheng? He doesn't know about it, and he didn't borrow the money." Mu Yingluo didn't agree.

"Of course this money doesn't belong to Gu Shaoqing, but now Master Gu is dead. Third Master Gu is living a life of debauchery, and I can't find him anywhere. So I can only come to Gu Shaoqing."

Peng Feiyu had arrived in front of everyone without knowing when.

He looks like an ox-headed and horse-faced monster, which is very scary.

There is a scar on his face, and he doesn't look like someone who is easy to mess with.

"Gu Shaoqing, you are the one who is in charge of the Gu family now, but you don't even give us an explanation. As common people, who can we ask for an explanation? Don't you think so?"

Peng Feiyu placed the IOU signed by Young Master Gu in front of Gu Beishen.

A total of two hundred thousand taels.

Mu Yingluo cried out, "20 taels of silver, how could Brother Beishen possibly come up with that much money?"

This is no small sum of money!

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can't come up with it, this Gu family house will be ours. When the Third Young Master Gu used Master Gu's name to pay off his debts, he used this house as collateral."

Peng Feiyu is not a good person, and he doesn't care about Princess Mu Yingluo.

In his eyes, money and interests are paramount.

"What did you say? How could he do this?" Mu Yingluo didn't believe that there were such shameless people in this world. "When he used Lord Gu's name to pay off his debts, did you agree to it? He is not Lord Gu at all. On what basis can he use Lord Gu's name to pay off his debts?! Your IOU is not valid at all."

"Don't tell me these things. Whether this IOU is valid or not is not up to you, it's up to us. Anyway, I'm putting it here. If you can't raise 20 taels within three days, don't blame us for demolishing your Gu family's house."

Peng Feiyu glanced at Mu Yingluo coldly, then left with his men.

Mu Yingluo was so angry that she wanted to die. "Brother Beishen, don't listen to him. When the time comes, I will let mother make the decision for you. This world belongs to father. Could it be that the palace has spoken? Peng Feiyu could rebel."

"Yingluo, things are not as simple as you think. Their business is not controlled by the palace. Even His Majesty would have to think twice before dealing with these people. This group of people has long arms and is all over the country.

If we are not careful, the Gu family may be wiped out quietly in the near future." Gu Bei frowned deeply.

The third young master of the Gu family, Gu Qian, did not like studying since he was a child. When he grew up, he became lustful and loved gambling. Therefore, none of the elders in the family placed their future on him. Everyone was disappointed in him and just let him go.

I just didn't expect him to do such a thing. If my father knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die.

"Okay, that's all for today. You all go back and rest. I'll try to find a way to get the 20 taels of silver together."

"That's impossible. 20 taels of silver is a lot of money. Where are you going to get it during this period of time?"

Mu Yingluo didn't want Gu Beishen to clean up for Gu Qian at all.

"Why don't we just send Gu Qian away. Whether he lives or dies depends on his fate. He has betrayed the Gu family anyway. Why should you consider him?"

"Okay, Yingluo, even though my father is gone from the Gu family, there are still several elders. If you want to expel Gu Qian, you need the consent of several elders.

Let me report this to the elders before discussing it.”

Gu Beishen took Mu Yingluo out and sent her to the palace.

Mu Jiusheng had almost finished watching the show, so he pulled Ji Huaiyu's sleeve and said, "Alright, let's go back. If you're still watching here, the male and female protagonists are already naked."

Ji Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "I obey your command."

"You are so beautiful." Mu Jiusheng rolled his eyes.

This man has become more and more smooth-talking since confirming the relationship.

"My wife is so beautiful and smart, so naturally I am beautiful as a husband."

Ji Huaiyu walked behind Mu Jiusheng obediently and sensibly.

Mu Jiusheng got goosebumps.

"Alright, alright, I think it's a waste of your talent to be a playboy. With your mouth, you should be a storyteller.

You can earn several taels of silver in one day."
