The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

"Who says it isn't?"

"I thought that Miss Gu would find a suitable candidate to marry into the family after the young lady and her future son-in-law got married."

"I don't know why Master Gu is so anxious."

"Miss Gu is so pretty. If you choose carefully, you might be able to find a poor scholar with good knowledge to marry into the Gu family. Then the Gu family can become an official family in the future."

"I wish I were a man." One of the maids was extremely envious.

Another maid covered her mouth and laughed, and rolled her eyes: "Come on, even if you are a man, you are still a servant of Guan Mansion. They are looking for scholars, and you don't meet the requirements at all."

"Good girl, you can't even let me talk about having a sweet dream!"

"Ouch, hahaha, sister, please stop doing this..."

"..."

Pei Qinyu at the back didn't listen anymore. He just felt a dull pain in his heart. He didn't even know when or how he walked back to the room.

......

"Ayan, are you really going to marry that scholar?" Guan Ying was shocked and dazed, "This is too sudden!"

Of course she couldn't marry anyone else.

Gu Yunyan thought to herself, but with a shy look on her face: "Sister Ying, that scholar Wang was chosen for me by my parents, although his family background and knowledge are not very good."

"But he is good-looking, and his character and personality are all very good."

"If the Wang family wasn't so poor and had so many brothers and sisters, his family would never have agreed to let him marry into our family."

Bang!

Seeing the expression on her face, Guan Ying's heart skipped a beat. Is this because she has a crush on that scholar Wang? !

She looked towards the screen on the left with a look of disappointment.

"Third brother, why don't you come out? Ah Yan is about to get married to someone else. It will be too late for you to regret it!"

Guan Fuqing walked out from behind the screen.

With a slight blush on his face, he ignored Guan Ying beside him. His eyes could only see Gu Yunyan. He took a deep breath and spoke quickly.

"Miss Gu, I like you, please don't marry Mr. Wang."

Hmm? ? ! ! The system was right at that time, Guan Fuqing really liked her!

"Please give me some time, Miss Gu. I will convince my parents to let me marry you." He said solemnly.

Gu Yunyan’s eyes widened: “But I want to find a man to marry into my family…” man.

"Although I cannot marry into the family, I can guarantee that all of our future children, except the eldest son, can have the surname Gu!" Guan Fuqing hurriedly made the promise.

He can do this.

His father and mother always listened to his opinions, and were lenient with him as long as it did not hurt them and was not against the law.

He is not the eldest son in the family.

And it doesn't mean that I will marry into the Gu family, but if I have children in the future, I will let some of them have the surname Gu.

As long as he kneels down and begs, his father and mother will agree.

"My father and cousin have already brought people to the Wang family to propose marriage." Gu Yunyan looked at him carefully and said in a low voice.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu were anxious to arrange her marriage and confined her at home.

Gu Changcun and they had different thoughts, but surprisingly the same purpose. After looking at each other, she randomly pointed to a scholar named Wang.

It's only been a few days.

They negotiated to skip some unnecessary procedures and went directly with the matchmaker to arrange the engagement and set the date.

Guan Fuqing's rosy face turned pale in an instant.

Guan Ying, however, was impatient. She grabbed his wrist and ran out: "Ayan, go home first. Third brother and I will go stop Uncle Gu and the others!"

......

But at this time, Mr. Gu and his men were not doing well.

"Your family is so lucky that even a gambler and loser like Wang Shusheng could get lucky enough to marry Mr. Gu's only daughter."

"Hey hey!"

"Your family will be very rich from now on, but don't forget about us neighbors!"

"We have been together for so many years and have a good relationship!"

The gate on the left was opened and a village woman came out, looking at the huge boxes filling the yard and yelling.

The faces of everyone present changed, and the noisy crowd fell silent in an instant.

The Queen Mother forced a smile and said, "My dear, you can't believe what that person said. My family and her family quarrel every year. She just can't stand seeing my family doing well, so she deliberately tried to bring bad luck to my family on such a good day."

"My youngest son is the most handsome young man in the surrounding villages. Everyone knows that he is a kind and honest person. How could he be a gambler?"

"Yes, Uncle, Aunt Wang is right."

Gu Changcun tried to make amends, "The neighbors do not get along with their family. They fight every day, and they even quarrel and curse at each other every day. My nephew asked about it before, and you asked about it again."

Master Gu's expression improved: "Butler, continue."

"Oh? I heard that your Wang family has become rich thanks to Master Gu, so let Mr. Wang pay back the money he owes to our gambling house!"

The people who came were the debt collectors from the gambling house.

"He signed a written IOU with our gambling house and even put his fingerprints on it. The due date for repayment was a few days ago, but he has to pay it back today!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Master Gu with a smile.

"Master Gu, since you are so rich, why don't you help your future son-in-law pay off his debt. It's not much, just 10,000 taels."

"How much?! Ten thousand taels?!"

The Queen Mother blurted out, "The youngest brother clearly only borrowed 2,500 taels, how did it become 10,000 taels?"

When he heard this, Mr. Gu had already finished reading the IOUs.

There were sixteen in total, and the name signed by the borrower on them was exactly Wang Shusheng's, and the handwriting was exactly the same as his.

Just like what the woman said, he is a gambler and a spendthrift.

With a sullen face, he turned around and left: "The marriage between the two families is over! Steward, have someone carry all the things back!"

"My dear relatives! My dear relatives! The youngest one will change for the better! He was young and ignorant at the time, but he will change for the better in the future. Please don't leave!"

The Queen Mother slapped her mouth and chased after him out the door, shouting.

Mr. Gu in the carriage turned a deaf ear and kept urging the driver: "When did your skills decline? Can't you hurry up?"

"Sir, please sit tight."

Ta-da-da, the carriage no longer moved slowly, but quickly overtook a simple carriage and headed straight for the city.

The carriage goes away.

Pei Qinyu lowered a corner of the curtain and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Master, the marriage is over." Wu Liang, dressed as a coachman, poured cold water on the matter, "But Master Gu still has many backup candidates."

"Also, I received news that Miss Guan San likes Miss Gu very much and has been trying to bring her and Guan Fuqing together. The two siblings are already on their way to see Master Gu."

Click!

Pei Qinyu's upturned lips were pursed into a straight line, and she held the broken carriage window sill in her hand.

"Keep investigating and find out all the details of those people."

"Guan Fuqing is still too idle. A grown man in his teens is at the best time to strive for success. How can he waste it on love affairs?"

"Bring him here now. It's important to solve the pirate problem."

----

Wu Liang lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders, and said in a strange voice: "Master, I will send someone to find Guan Fuqing right away. We must find him before Master Gu and bring him here."

Ugh,

Your Highness clearly cares about Miss Gu, so why doesn’t he take the initiative to express it?

What did he know? Did Pei Qinyu not want to? Instead, he rubbed his brows. A dark cloud floated in the sky at some point, and his mood was the same.

......

On the wide and smooth official road, Guan Ying saw a carriage coming from the front.

His eyes lit up: "Third brother, third brother, it's the Gu family's carriage! I recognize the driver and the emblem on the carriage."

Guan Fuqing's heart sank suddenly.

Mr. Gu is back. Does that mean the marriage between Miss Gu and Mr. Wang is finalized?

Apparently Guan Ying had also thought of this, and said through gritted teeth.

"Third brother, it's not too late. Go and tell Uncle Gu how you feel about Ah Yan. With a pearl like you in front of them, those Wang Shusheng and Zhang Shusheng will definitely not be interested in you."

She is very confident.

"I'll go right away." Guan Fuqing was unwilling to give up without trying hard.

"Third Young Master, I finally found you! I have something important to discuss with you, so please go back with me."

It's such an unlucky thing.

He could only take a deep look at the carriage in front of him, turn his horse around and follow the guards who had come.

Guan Ying looked up at the sky while feeling discouraged.

Is this what they call God's will? God's will cannot be violated? Is it destined that San Ge and Ah Yan will never be together? Is this the only way they can be in this life?

......

When they got home, before Mr. Gu could even catch his breath, Mrs. Gu started asking.

"Master, why are you back so soon? Has the marriage been decided? Where is the engagement letter for your future son-in-law?"

"Take it out and let me see it."

Gu Changcun, who hurried back, looked unhappy when he heard her words, and felt extremely guilty: "Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry."

? ?

Mrs. Gu was confused. What was going on? Why was he apologizing for no reason?

"It's my nephew who is useless and doesn't know people well. He almost let a scum like Wang Shusheng get married to my cousin, which ruined her life."

After hearing what happened at Wang's house, Mrs. Gu was so angry that her stomach churned.

But seeing Gu Changcun's face full of guilt and red eyes, as if he had been crying, she could only scold that scholar Wang.

"How can I blame you?"

"That Wang guy is too good at pretending, and he has a lot of bad intentions. Not to mention that you are still young, even your second uncle couldn't find out those things and see his true face."

Mr. Gu noticed that she couldn't straighten her back when she spoke, so he immediately started to chase her away.

"Okay, Changcun, go back and study first. I'll have someone check the rest of them carefully. I don't believe that we won't be able to pick out a good one from so many people."

As soon as Gu Changcun left, Mr. Gu started to rub Mrs. Gu's belly.

"Madam, are you feeling better?" he asked. "No matter how angry you are, you can't ignore your health. I'll ask the housekeeper to ask the doctor from Huichun Hall to come and see you."

"No need, I'm much better now. They're just old problems." Mrs. Gu shook her head.

After giving birth to her daughter, she has been in poor health. She has taken countless medicines, tried many tonics and medicinal foods, and tried various folk remedies.

She still wasn't able to fully recover, and she wasn't able to give birth to another son.

She couldn't help but began to cry: "Master, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be able to give birth to a son for you."

"How could our Ah Yan be in such an embarrassing and dilemma situation now?"

"You can't find a good man if you stay at home and marry him. Good men don't want to marry into your family."

Even a mediocre man wouldn't be willing to do that.

Mr. Gu's eyes were sore, and he patted her back to comfort her: "If you want to blame someone, blame me. I was too busy with business to take good care of you."

"You almost couldn't leave the delivery room."

"Don't worry, our Ah Yan is very good. I will definitely find a good man to live a happy life with Ah Yan."

These words were meant to comfort Mrs. Gu, and also to himself.

It was just a beautiful thought, but the reality dealt him a heavy blow: "No one is without problems."

"Is my vision so bad?"

He didn't know whether he was too stupid or young people nowadays were too smart and too good at pretending.

After doing business for decades, he actually made such a mistake in his daughter's marriage.

We couldn’t find out any of them before, but now we have found out that all of them have problems.

The most serious problems among them were those selected by Gu Changcun. He couldn't help but think of what the gangster said at the beginning.

There is also Guard Gu who wants to sneak into the inn room and kill his daughter.

He had a good relationship with Gu Changcun. The two of them often went out together to drink tea and watch plays, and they would go there whenever they had time.

[Host, that's great. He is beginning to doubt Gu Changcun.] The system is surprised.

Gu Yunyan was eating pastries, which did not stop her from talking.

"Then let's have another shot. Gu Lamei's voice has recovered. She will definitely come to me again starting tomorrow."

"Cousin, I heard that the Guan Mansion is holding a flower viewing banquet. Let's go together."

Gu Lamei put it simply, the Guan family only sent an invitation to Gu Yunyan, but did not invite her.

"Okay, Sister Lamei." She didn't refuse.

Gu Lamei's eyes flashed with joy, and she unconsciously clenched her handkerchief: "Cousin, let's go now. It would be too rude to leave the host waiting if we go too late."

"My young lady hasn't put on makeup yet. Miss Lamei, please wait." Before Gu Yunyan could say anything, Jin Ling spoke.

It's still early, and I don't know why she is in such a hurry.

How can I not be anxious?

In addition to appreciating the flowers, the most important purpose of the flower-viewing banquet is to allow young men and women of appropriate age to meet each other. She is only one month older than Gu Yunyan.

My second uncle and second aunt are already worrying about her marriage.

And what about her? Haha, she was pushed out by her own brother to win over Gu Huwei.

Unfortunately, Guard Gu was useless. He didn't hurt Gu Yunyan at all and died quickly.

Fortunately, she was not pulled out.

She looked at Gu Yunyan who was putting on makeup. She had such a delicate little face with white porcelain skin. Why was she wasting time putting on makeup?

Her face looks better without makeup than with her carefully made-up face that she got up before dawn.

There was deep envy, jealousy and hatred in Gu Lamei's eyes.

God is really unfair. She gets all the benefits, and she has nothing.

......

Flower viewing feast.

When Gu Yunyan and Gu Lamei arrived, some people had already arrived, and their eyes and minds were all attracted to Gu Yunyan.

He completely unconsciously ignored Gu Lamei who was standing beside him.

It’s been such a short time since I last saw her. What happened? Why is Gu Yunyan more beautiful than before?

Her skin is glowing white, like a flawless piece of jade.

Her demeanor was much better than before, and she didn't look like a girl from a merchant family. It was as if she had been reborn, which shocked them.

Gu Lamei gritted her teeth secretly.

It was like this again and again. Every time the two of them appeared at the same time, no one would notice her.

Some people are confused.

"Didn't they say that Gu Yunyan was going to give birth and find a husband? Why did she dress so beautifully today?"
