Gu Yunyan was in disbelief and felt so wronged. Her brother and father both spoke on Gu Yunxi's side.

She didn't ask Gu Yunxi for help just now. What does her meddling in other people's business have to do with her?

"I didn't ask her to do anything. She was the one who insisted on coming forward and asked me to return the jade pendant to Master Li. Now you want me to thank her? Don't even think about it!"

As Gu Yunyan said this, she ran into Wu's room with red eyes and hid.

Seeing Gu Yunyan like this, Gu Laoer opened his mouth with a helpless look on his face, but he didn't want to scold her, so he let her go into the house to cry to Mrs. Wu.

"Wow, mother, look at father and brother. When they saw Gu Yunxi, they all sided with her and treated me as an outsider."

"Mom, I feel so wronged. It's not me who asked Gu Yunxi for help. I just don't want to thank you. Why do you act like I did something wrong?"

Although Mrs. Wu was sitting in the house, she had good ears and heard most of what had just happened in the yard.

At this time, not only she was in the room, but also Yao and Wu Xiong.

Yao was embarrassed and felt a little contemptuous in her heart. Her niece Yun Yan was really confused. She didn't try to please such a good cousin but instead put on airs.

Wu Xiong was in the same boat. He felt sorry for his niece crying, but he also felt that she was wrong. It was just a thank you. It was nothing.

Is it worth crying just for this? Wu Xiong really couldn't understand.

Wu's face was tense and she was very annoyed. She couldn't help but scold him, "Yunyan, why are you so ignorant?"

"If your sister Yun Xi hadn't been here, Master Li would never have let go of what happened today. Your father and your brother were right. You should really thank Yun Xi."

"Go, go to your uncle's room now, visit him, and thank your sister Yunxi by the way."

Gu Yunyan was still crying, but when she heard Wu's words, her body froze and she stared at Wu in a daze.

"No, mother, you, you are also on her side? You also think I should go and thank Gu Yunxi?" Gu Yunyan said, biting her lip.

Wu was displeased, looked at her and said, "You should go and thank her, go quickly, your brother will still count on your sister Yunxi and your brother-in-law Lu for help in the future!"

“If you make your sister Yunxi unhappy and refuse to help your brother in the future, I will not forgive you.”

No matter how much she loves her daughter on normal days, at critical moments, she knows that when she gets old, her son is the only one she can rely on.

After all, daughters will be married off and belong to someone else's family.

"I won't go! I just won't go! I won't go no matter what you say!" Gu Yunyan was determined and ran out with red eyes.

This really pissed off Wu, and she shouted, "Yun Yan... this damn girl is so rebellious!"

Seeing this, Yao hurried forward to comfort Wu: "Oh, sister, don't be angry, Yunyan can't figure it out for the time being, she will be fine after she calms down."

"Yes, yes, sister, your health is important, don't be angry, don't be angry." Wu Xiong also said quickly.

With the comfort of her eldest brother and sister-in-law from her natal family, Wu's anger gradually subsided, but she still felt very resentful in her heart.

My daughter has really been spoiled by her. She is so spoiled now. If she continues to be like this after she gets married, what will happen?

Yao looked at Gu Yunyan's back as she ran away, a complicated look flashed across her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel fortunate that her son was not engaged to Yunyan, otherwise, there would be trouble in the family in the future.

Yao and Wu Xiong comforted Wu a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late and Wu Xiong had to go back to town to take care of his business, he stood up and said goodbye.

Before leaving the house, Wu Xiong secretly left some silver for Mrs. Wu, and even Mrs. Yao, who had walked out the door first, didn't know about it.

Wu quickly grabbed the silver, hid it in her arms, and told no one.

After Gu Laoer and Gu Yunhong entered the room, Wu said, "Yunhong, go out and look for your sister. Where did she go?"

After all, she was her own daughter, and Mrs. Wu felt sorry for Gu Yunyan. Her anger subsided and she became worried.

Gu Yunhong nodded with a stern face and went out to look for someone.

Gu Yunzhi jumped up and down and followed Gu Yunhong out.

After a while, Gu Yunyan followed Gu Yunhong back. Coincidentally, Gu Yunxi just came out of the house and was about to leave.

Bumping into Gu Yunxi head-on, Gu Yunhong hurriedly smiled and called out, "Sister Yunxi, are you going back?"

Gu Yunyan kept her lips tightly closed, did not look at Gu Yunxi, and turned her head away silently.

Gu Yunxi always had a faint smile on his face and nodded: "Well, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

After saying that, Gu Yunxi walked outside, and He Dachun followed behind him, walking with his head down.

Gu Yunyan walked to Wu's door and suddenly turned around to look outside, only to see He Dachun respectfully helping Gu Yunxi get into the carriage.

At this moment, Gu Yunyan's jealousy reached its peak.

Why is it that people who used to live far worse than me have such a good life and are now living so well, with servants serving them?

She thought she was good-looking, her father was much more promising than her uncle, and she had an elder brother who was a scholar, and a younger brother. In every aspect, she was better than Gu Yun!

Moreover, Gu Yunxi's mother didn't even have an in-law family, so they couldn't help Gu Yunxi at all, but her uncle could help her mother a lot.

At this moment, Li Decai's face suddenly flashed through Gu Yunyan's mind, and she remembered that Li Decai was followed by several servants.

Realizing that she was thinking of Li Decai, Gu Yunyan was startled and shook her head violently.

The Li family is indeed wealthy, but they are just lowly merchants. I will never marry Li Decai!

The next day, a group of people came from the Gu family.

Li Decai's parents and the matchmaker they invited.

As luck would have it, the matchmaker was actually Captain Xu, Xu Wei's elder brother.

However, Gu Laoer's family did not know Xu Wei's eldest brother, nor did they know the relationship between Captain Xu and the Lu family.

Seeing the captain with a long sword hanging on his body, Gu Laoer's face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Master Li, what are you doing? Didn't we agree yesterday that we are done with each other?"

Before Li Decai could say anything, his father, Li Caizhu, smiled and explained, "Second Master Gu, you misunderstood. We came here recently because we wanted to ask to marry your daughter Yunyan."

"Ask to marry my Yunyan? You? Not..." Gu Laoer's eyes almost popped out. At first, he thought it was the rich man Li who said he wanted to marry Yunyan!

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li hurriedly explained, "No, I am seeking marriage for my son. My son got rich, and you just saw him yesterday."

"My child Decai is usually honest, dumb and can't speak. He came to your house yesterday and offended you. Please don't make a fuss with him, Master Gu."

Upon hearing this, Gu Laoer looked at Li Decai in surprise. He couldn't tell at all that Li Decai was honest and stupid.
