With this, the atmosphere just now suddenly changed. Even though the old lady was still unwilling, she still asked Gu Yun a few casual words. Xie Jingxi knew that she was inclined to that way.

Forget it, the old lady thought. She couldn't find anything wrong with this child. It all depended on whether the heavens were willing to treat her well or not. Since Jing Wan had chosen him himself, what else could she say?

The old lady was about to let go when she heard Gu Yun say, "If Old Madem is worried about my illness, I won't stop you from marrying me again."

Of course, for the sake of his own wife, he would not fall into anyone else's bowl, so he would have to live for as long as possible. However, this attitude was really timely. He had made sure of the old lady's mentality step by step. Every step he took was just right. The old lady was so excited that she almost cried.

What kind of person would be willing to think about his wife marrying him after death, not to mention no one wanting to die, even if it was true death they wouldn't be allowed to. There were many old ladies in this world with tragedies like this, but no one could change anything. Gu Yun's last sentence could be said to break the old lady's last line of defense. This child was so heart-wrenching, how could the heavens not ask him to live a few more years?

"Good child, sorry for troubling you." The old lady pulled Gu Yun's hand, and patted his shoulder meaningfully, "Jing Wan will be handed to you, I don't need to worry, I won't listen to what you say, I just want to see what you will do. If one day you let her down, I will be the first to not forgive you."

Gu Yun half knelt down, "Grandmother, please rest assured."

Just as he was speaking, Marquis also entered the door, not mentioning Xie Cen, for him to be able to come at such a crucial time, it was undoubtedly adding oil to the fire, giving face to everyone, at least this marriage, had an unexpected effect.

Xie Jingxi had truly surprised her along the way, and the unexpected fact was a little unreal. The marriage that she had to choose between the two seemed to have already begun to deviate from her initial expectations, if this person had even acted with such precision, it would be too frightening.

"Lady! Young Master is too amazing, the old lady and the master's wife can't even speak a single word, I really admire him too much, and why didn't I notice before that he looked pretty good! "

Ming Yu started to chattered away about Gu Yun in front of Xie Jingxi. Xie Jingxi was not in the mood to scheme for her, she just allowed her to explain, "Look at Young Master making a move, this is a betrothal gift for the princess, this is really giving her a face, if you didn't see the Madam's expression, you wouldn't even know how you would laugh. Furthermore, Young Master doesn't look like he's sick, he's even more beautiful than Second Young Master."

"Saying 'Young Master' by mouth, who is going to be your Young Master!" Xie Jingxi poked her forehead and she couldn't help but feel annoyed. She suddenly had a feeling that someone was scheming against her, and the more she realised, the less Gu Yun looked like she was on the outside. Also, about her saving the old lady, did he really not know or was he premeditated?

Xie Jingxi's wedding ceremony was originally set to be held at the 8th of the 12th month, but Gu Yun said that he wanted Xie Jingxi to accompany Old Madem and the others at home to spend the new year with them, so it was set to be in the second month of the next year.

"Gu Yun is really speechless." Old Madem spoke to Xie Jingxi privately, "However, his body is the one that worries me the most. Even though she looks no different from an ordinary person, the air around her face cannot escape my eyes. After you pass through your door in the future, if you have nothing better to do, you can go back to your hometown in Yuhang City for a few days.

Every time Old Madem praised Gu Yun, Xie Jingxi would close his ears and pretend not to hear. When his illness was mentioned, she would prick up his ears and listen carefully.

"Did you hear that clearly!" When the old lady saw that she was not paying attention, she angrily poked her in the head, "For whom am I doing this for, you yourself are heartless, but next year, when you go through the door, don't meddle in those terrible things of the Marquis Mansion, don't listen to me or do anything else, I see that Gu Yun is open to it too, and does not intend to inherit any Marquis Mansion, as long as the two of you don't worry about food or clothes, your days are pretty good. Also, your Second Miss, you have been taught by your mother to hold the Marquis Mansion in your hands.

"I heard it, I know Grandmother is worried about me, why don't you follow me over? If I'm married, I have nothing to do, how bored would I be!" Xie Jingxi said as she hugged Old Madem's arm.

"Listen to what you're saying. Did you get Grandmother to marry her husband?" Old Madem was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at her words. "Also, that dowry, has your mother ever mentioned it to you?"

Xie Jingxi shook her head. She didn't need to mention this matter, she knew that Lady Xu wouldn't leave too much for her. In any case, she didn't care about this, but Old Madem couldn't help but to care, "You're an idiot.

Speaking of dowry, at night, Lady Xu had a discussion with Xie Cen, "The dowry I accompanied from my mother's family, and added with the dowry I received over the years, I have altogether divided it into four, and in order to support Big Sis, I have already accompanied her for over thirty percent of the time. When Second Miss married into the Marquis Mansion, her original thirty percent would be increased by forty percent, I had never thought that Third Sister would marry into an ordinary family, so I did not think that I would be able to take out twenty percent at most.

Xie Cen frowned slightly when he heard this, "The three ladies are the same. How can they be so biased, forget about Brother Yu's marriage, when the betrothal gift leaves home, you can give the remaining 30% to Third Sister."

Lady Xu was a little unhappy, "How can we do that, we have to leave some for Brother Yu, furthermore when Third Sister goes out, the old lady will definitely add more. When Eldest Miss went out to get married, she was not in the capital, so we did not ask her to pay attention to her retirement, and didn't say anything."

"Do you still not understand?" Xie Cen sighed, "How much did I give you? It's even more than Second Miss, right? The amount of dowry you have to accompany me in the future is less than Second Miss, Young Master has his own plans.

Xie Cen was clear in his heart about who was good to Xie Jingxi, and he would treat Xie Jingxi with respect. Originally, they were already shameless enough to be his parents, but if they were to take a snack on the dowry, it would be fine in the future. Besides, with so many betrothal gifts, even if he bought your daughter, it would be enough. I don't need to ask you to pay a large sum of money, it's fine if you don't want to be partial to her. If you let her daughter-in-law marry you without face, then she might just wait for you there.

The Lady Xu was startled, but did not care, as she felt that Xie Cen was alarmingly speaking, "So what? If he wants to earn face, he should at least get a rich official to come back and see, since our Third Sister does not seek for anything after marrying him, so what if we give him a few more betrothal gifts? Furthermore, the Eldest Miss's marriage rate is only at 30%, it's already enough for her to get 20%.

Although Xie Cen thought that he did not do much better than Lady Xu, at least he saw it clearly, "Forget it, I will just give Third Sister 20% more."

In the end, Lady Xu did not give in and really only gave twenty percent of it. Xie Cen gave another twenty percent, it was finally the same as when the second lady got married.

"Grandmother will give you another 20%." The old lady said to Xie Jingxi privately, "I will give you the other 10%, but you must not reveal it to me, lest your mother calls me biased."

Xie Jingxi was amused by her, "Grandmother, why are you still acting like a little kid, you can take the rest, you still have a family background, Gu Yun did not apply for a job, and there aren't many social benefits for him, so how much can we use him? At worst, we can just go to Jiangnan and eat your food, and drink from you, can't you starve us anymore?"

Do you think that what your mother left for you is only for real use? Those shops and stalls that make money have long been keeping your sister Second Miss company and it seems that they have left you 20%, but compared to their 20%, it's still lacking a lot. If I don't give you more, you will regret it when you are short of money.

In the end, the old lady understood that the farm shop and the furniture and jewelry in the dowry were all very particular. Apart from some cash, you had to see the quality of the furniture and jewelry, whether the land you were given was fat or thin, whether the shop was profitable or not, and as long as there was one or two of those shops, they would be worth a bunch of flashy dowry.

If you spent all the silver in your hand, the shop would not earn much, and could even drop someone to death if you lived for too long. That was why Lady Xu was so biased. How could Xie Jingxi not know about this? In her previous life, when Second Miss's dowry had fallen into her hands, she had clearly seen it, but since Lady Xu's heart had become biased, it would always be the same no matter how many times she repeated it again. If Lady Xu did not want to give it to her, would she still be able to force her to give it back with a blade?

But as she had hands and feet on hands and feet with Gu Yun, she could not simply sit back and eat her fill, and slowly earn money. What Xie Jingxi cared about was never these. But then again, Gu Yun was a wastrel at home, without a good name, he did not have a business background, how could he get so many silver taels for a betrothal gift? She did not believe that it was from the Marquis Anfeng Palace, not from the Marquis Anfeng Palace, could it be that he earned it himself, was he originally that rich?
