The old lady was sitting cross-legged at the moment, holding Buddhist beads in her hands and a Buddhist scripture in front of her.

He was mumbling to himself, mumbling something in a mysterious way.

The old lady was a little displeased when she heard his question.

"Keep your voice down! Can't you see I'm reciting Buddhist scriptures?"

Gu Boqing looked at the old lady, then at the Buddhist scriptures that had been turned over and over, and was very puzzled.

"Mom, you can't read a single word, how come you can suddenly recite Buddhist scriptures? Do you understand them?"

When her illiteracy was exposed, the old lady froze in embarrassment.

"I... it doesn't matter whether I can read or not. The most important thing for a Buddhist is to have Buddha in your heart and always have good thoughts. There are so many Buddhists and so many people who recite the sutras. Buddhists have long been tired of hearing the sutras. The Buddha doesn't care whether I recite correctly or not."

Gu Boqing was speechless. He didn't want to tell her these things. She wouldn't listen to him, so he asked her the purpose of doing this.

"Mom, I have no objection to you building a Buddhist temple, but you want to use pure gold to make the Buddha statue. Isn't that too extravagant? Do you know how much it will cost?"

He doesn't even have money to buy Xue Niang a winter coat now, which shows how expensive it is.

His words were extremely harsh. The old lady was originally very pleased that her son finally cared about her, but she didn't expect that he would come to blame her.

She put down the beads and snorted twice, "Money, money, money, all you think about is money! Do you think I am willing to spend money? Who am I doing this for? It's for your career that I'm asking the Buddha to bless our family."

"Jin Ruoyun didn't dare to say a word against me. She had to build a Buddhist temple for me. You actually blame your own mother! You are an unfilial descendant!"

Gu Boqing not only failed to persuade the old lady not to build the Buddhist temple during this trip, but was scolded and turned down.

He returned to Jin Ruoyun again, and tried every possible means to persuade her, but to no avail.

Back in the house, Xuenniang came over and took his arm.

"How is the master? Did you get the silver?"

"Um... that, my wife is not in the room. I will go after she comes back. Don't worry."

He spoke vaguely and avoided asking for money.

Xueniang had already guessed that he didn't get the money, but she was a concubine in the family and her marriage contract was in Jin Ruoyun's hands, so she didn't dare to make a scene and say that she must buy new clothes.

But she still wanted to buy it, as she hadn't bought new clothes for a long time.

Now there are only a few pieces to go back and forth, and Gu Boqing never gets tired of seeing them, but she herself is getting tired of seeing them.

At the dinner table, Sang Xiaowan heard that Xue Niang wanted to buy new clothes and looked at her sarcastically.

"You have enough clothes, why do you need so many? My brother's salary has already been suspended, and you are still so ignorant."

Xue Niang looked at Gu Boqing secretly, hooking her feet with his under the dining table, with a delicate look on her face.

"My husband, I was wrong. I just thought that if I wore the same clothes every day, the master would be bored. I wanted to please you, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood as wanting to buy them."

Sang Xiaowan was very close to them, and when she saw the two of them holding hands under the dinner table, she was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she looked at Xue Niang as if she wanted to eat her.

Jin Yuanyuan felt the smell of gunpowder in the air, her eyes brightened and she was ready to watch the show.

[Fight, fight! This kind of hair-pulling scene is the best to watch. 】

[The scumbag dad should side with Sang Xiaowan, after all, he hates talking about money the most now. ]

Gu Boqing was 100% sure about what Jin Yuanyuan had guessed. He really didn't want to talk about money now. He felt bored.

He let go of Xue Niang's hand, a little unhappy, "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, why are you so talkative, with so many excuses, eat quickly!"

It was the first time that Xue Niang was yelled at like this. She lowered her head in grievance, as if she was about to cry.

This time, Gu Boqing showed no mercy to the lady. He lowered his head and ate indifferently.

Seeing that he ignored her, Xue Niang had no choice but to continue eating.

She picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into the bowl.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, she felt nauseous and vomited out the meat.

Her stomach felt really uncomfortable, so Xue Niang ran outside and retched.

Gu Boqing put down his chopsticks, and the irritation rising in his heart became more and more intense.

"What are you vomiting?! Can't you see I'm still eating? Isn't that disgusting!"

Xueniang suppressed her discomfort, rinsed her mouth, sat back at the dining table, and looked at Gu Boqing with lowered brows.

"I'm sorry, Master. I won't do it again. I just feel that this meat is too greasy, and my stomach has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently... I'm sorry."

Jin Ruoyun, who was sitting at the dinner table, also put down her chopsticks at this moment. Looking at Xue Niang like this, she felt something was wrong.

"Go back and rest first. I'll ask a doctor to see you later."

She had given birth to four children, and she always felt that Xue Niang was a little pregnant, but she was not sure.

When she heard that a doctor was going to be found for her, Xueniang bowed to Jin Ruoyun in gratitude.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll go down first."

Seeing this, Sang Xiaowan said sarcastically, "It's just a stomachache. Is it necessary to call a doctor? What a waste of money."

She really hoped that Xueniang’s illness was not a stomach problem but an incurable disease, so that no one would compete with her for Gu Boqing.

Maybe it was a serious illness. She saw her vomiting a few days ago.

If Xue Niang really got an incurable disease, she would no longer be able to serve the master, and then she would find a way to sell her off.

On the way back to the yard, she kept cursing Xue Niang for getting sick in her heart.

Xue Niang has physical problems, but it goes against her thoughts.

Just as Jin Ruoyun guessed, Xue Niang was really pregnant, and it had been more than a month.

When Xueniang heard the news, she held her belly and was extremely happy.

With the child, she will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Gu Mansion and no longer have to endure the bullying of that little bitch Sang Xiaowan.

She looked at Gu Boqing excitedly, "My husband, my husband, I am pregnant. I am pregnant with your child. We have a child!"

Upon hearing that Xueniang was pregnant, Gu Boqing was stunned for a moment, and then excitedly hugged her in his arms.

“Hahahahaha! Great, great! I, Gu Boqing, have been unlucky for so long, and finally something good happens, hahaha.”

He felt like he was possessed by a bad luck ghost during this period of time.

Either he was demoted or scolded by the emperor, nothing went smoothly.

Now finally there is something good.

He carefully helped Xue Niang sit down.

"Hurry up and sit down and rest. You have to take care of yourself now. If you want to eat or drink anything, just ask the kitchen to make it for you. Don't treat our son badly."

I didn’t expect that he is already the father of six children this year, and his concubine can still get pregnant. It really makes him proud!

When Sang Xiaowan heard the news, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

She lost her balance and almost fell, but Gu Xingruo caught her in time.

Her voice was trembling as she spoke, "I'm actually... I'm actually pregnant!"
