Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce

"Okay." Jiang's mother finally couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.

After the two reached an agreement, Jiang's mother mentioned Jiang Xuan again.

"Aunt, you know how Xuan'er feels about Yu'er. I didn't mention it after the Gu Wanzhou incident. But things are different now."

Jiang's mother was very excited. "Think about it. Now that the son-in-law has been promoted to the third rank and has established a relationship with General Ji, Xuan'er has such a strong backing. It is not just around the corner for her to get promoted and make a fortune. If Yu'er marries him, she will not only not suffer, but will also enjoy the good life."

Gu Wanyu was listening on the side and rolled her eyes in her heart, wondering what the hell he was daydreaming about.

Jiang thought about it and felt that what Jiang's mother said made sense, but the prerequisite was that Jiang Xuan could pass the imperial examination. Otherwise, even with help, it would be useless if he couldn't do it himself.

Moreover, the situation of their family is very different now. The master is an official of the third rank and has a marriage relationship with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Now her daughter is from a duke's family and has a chance.

She would not hang herself on Jiang Xuan's tree which had no roots.

"Let's wait until Xuan'er passes the exam. Besides, I don't have the final say on this matter. The master still has to make the final decision."

Jiang didn't say anything final.

Not long after, Gu Lian sent someone to pass on the message: "The master said that there are many things to do in the mansion now, and please bear with me for a while."

Jiang was naturally happy to hear this. It turned out that following Gu Wanzhou's path was the right thing to do.

"The master also said that the Madam is always ill, and she will inevitably have a headache or a fever in the future. Now that Concubine Xie has taken over the household affairs, let her gain some experience in case of emergency. During this period, the Madam will only take care of the reception arrangements, and Concubine Xie will take care of the household affairs."

As soon as the servant left, Jiang Shi smashed another teacup.

"She did all the hard work of entertaining guests, and let that bitch Xie take care of the housekeeping. The mistress is still alive, but she lets the aunt take care of the housekeeping. If it gets out, Jiang will become a joke, and that bitch Xie will be so proud of herself."

Jiang's chest heaved with anger.

What does it mean to be prepared for an emergency? It is a warning that the mansion does not need her, and Xie can replace her at any time.

It must be Gu Wanzhou's doing. Just based on Gu Lian's partiality, if Gu Wanzhou really wanted to help her get back the housekeeper's power, would Gu Lian not agree?

"Mother, Aunt Xie has never managed a household, so it wouldn't be easy for her to make some mistakes. Don't worry, the housekeeper power is still yours after all. Now your most important thing is to win over those ladies in front." Gu Wanyu was also angry, but she was not involved in the matter, so she quickly distinguished the priorities.

"Yes." Jiang's eyes lit up, "Yu'er is still smart."

Jiang calmed herself down and got busy with the entertaining, while also preparing for her own birthday.

Jiang planned to take advantage of the momentum of Gu Lian's promotion and Wan Zhou's marriage to Ji Nanzheng to hold a birthday for herself.

It was said to be a birthday party, but in fact it was a chance to test the waters and find out Gu Wanyu's current situation.

That day, many people came to the Gu family. It was Ji Nanzheng's future mother-in-law's birthday, so he had to curry favor with her.

Gu Wanyu got up early in the morning to dress up. Her clothes were the most suitable pastel color for her skin tone. Her maid Qingshuang had some talent in makeup. After Qingshuang's careful makeup, Gu Wanyu's face became three times more beautiful than her original appearance.

Of course, we cannot be careless about the decoration. Hairpins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and every place that can be decorated should be left out.

The final result: Wan Zhou looked at the cute and sweet Gu Wanyu in front of him and gave a very objective evaluation.

It is indeed beautiful, but it would be better if the eyes could be clearer. The expectation in Gu Wanyu's eyes is too obvious. She always intentionally or unintentionally hooks others, hoping to be seen and praised.

"Second sister is so beautiful." Wan Zhou said something that made Gu Wanyu happy.

Gu Wanyu dressed up early in the morning and ran to her, wasn't it just to show off her beauty? She was willing to please him.

Hearing this, Gu Wanyu looked at Wan Zhou with her eyes and smiled: "Thank you, big sister."

"Big sister, do you have any nice lip balm? My lip balm is too light in color."

Oh, it turns out that it’s not just about displaying, but also about borrowing things. Wan Zhou raised his eyes and looked at Gu Wanyu’s lips.

It is a little bland. I have to admit that Gu Wanyu has some aesthetic sense.

Wan Zhou signaled Bai Lu with his eyes, took out a bottle of unused lip balm and handed it to Gu Wanyu.

"How about this one?"

Wan Zhou didn't have to bother guessing what Gu Wanyu was thinking. After being an attendee at so many parties, big and small, today she was finally going to be the protagonist, so she would find ways to get in the spotlight.

Wanzhou was happy to oblige.

Gu Wanyu immediately asked Qingshuang to apply it on her. It was a little darker than her previous color, but it matched her clothes perfectly.

Gu Wanyu looked at herself in the bronze mirror and was very satisfied. When she glanced at the dressing table, she saw the new flower ornaments in Wanzhou's makeup box and her eyes lit up. She opened her mouth and prepared to borrow some from Wanzhou.

But she looked at Wan Zhou and shut up regretfully. She couldn't control Wan Zhou now, and she was worried that Wan Zhou would not agree, which would affect her good mood. Today was her first time to be the protagonist, and she wanted to be happy.

After Gu Wanyu left, Wan Zhou ate his breakfast leisurely. He couldn't help thinking that Gu Wanyu had been in the spotlight today and Jiang Xuan was probably going to be in trouble.

But Wan Zhou didn't plan to join in the fun. If she went, those people with ulterior motives might flatter her in person and ridicule her behind her back, and Jiang's birthday had nothing to do with her.

She claimed to be ill, gave a gift to Jiang as a token of her appreciation, and then stayed at home.

Gu Wanyu was having a great time accompanying Jiang in greeting the ladies and young ladies. She had a flamboyant personality and had never had the opportunity before, but today was finally her own stage, so of course she did her best to show off.

"Wanyu, you look so beautiful today." The speaker was Qin Yu'e, the eldest daughter of Marquis Changning.

Gu Wanyu was stunned for a moment.

Qin Yu'e was usually very arrogant. Gu Wanyu had met her once before, and after experiencing her arrogance and coldness, she had no good feelings towards her.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu'e actually praised her with a friendly smile? This change made Gu Wanyu's reaction arc longer.

"Ms. Qin is the pretty one." After Gu Wanyu reacted, she raised her signature sweet smile.

But in my heart I despised him, thinking he was just pretending to be noble.

As more and more visitors came, Gu Wanyu discovered that the ladies who had been polite but cold to her in the past were now all very kind and cordial to her, and were generous with their praises, as if they had been friends for a long time.

While Gu Wanyu was feeling contemptuous, she also enjoyed for the first time the feeling of being the center of attention. She loved that feeling.

She knew in her heart that her father's promotion to the third rank alone could not earn her such treatment. They were condescending to her for Ji Nanzheng's sake.

But Ji Nanzheng’s sister-in-law was treated like this, what if she became Ji Nanzheng’s wife?

Just thinking about it, Gu Wanyu felt so happy that she fainted.
