Wu Xiong's expression changed, and Gu Laoer's expression changed as well!

Mr. Li's family is not to be trifled with. Previously, he worked as the accountant of a restaurant in the town. Wu Xiong had come to dine there a few times, and every time, he complained that the restaurant's dishes were not tasty.

Every time, the restaurant owner would come out in person to apologize to him, treat him with good wine and food, and then send him away.

Otherwise, he has plenty of ways to mess up the restaurant.

And now, Young Master Li just bumped into his own daughter. How could he be so generous as to give her the jade pendant worth dozens of taels that he carried with him?

Something is wrong, very wrong!

A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Laoer's mind, and he trembled with fear.

"Brother, brother-in-law, you said, Master Li wouldn't..."

Gu Laoer and Wu Xiong looked at each other, and he also saw fear in Wu Xiong's eyes.

If Young Master Li took a fancy to Yun Yan, she would be doomed. Young Master Li had fifteen concubines before, so it is impossible for him to marry a wife now.

If he likes Yunyan, the only possibility is to take her as a concubine!

"No, brother-in-law, if this is true, what will happen to my Yunyan? Her mother is hoping that Yunyan can marry into a scholarly family and help Yunhong in the future!"

Gu Laoer himself was a scholar, and he looked down on those merchant families. Of course, his wife's family, the Wu family, was an exception. After all, they would be grateful to those who helped them.

Even though Mr. Li was extremely wealthy, he did not want to marry Yunyan to him, let alone have her as a concubine.

Wu was also panicking, her voice trembling as she hurriedly said, "Brother, you need to help me!"

Wu Xiong said with a sad face, "Sister, brother-in-law, if Young Master Li really likes Yunyan and wants to take her as a concubine, then I can't do anything about it."

"Our family's business has dealings with the Wu family. If I show up, this will definitely offend Young Master Li, and he may not even give me face."

"Yes, yes, sister, your brother can't help with this matter. You know it's not easy for our family to run a small business!" Yao said quickly.

"Sister, please don't embarrass your brother. I'm begging you, okay?"

Wu wanted to cry but had no tears. Even her elder brother from her natal family couldn't help her. Who else could she count on to have a say in front of Young Master Li?

"You stupid girl, why did you accept such a valuable jade pendant from Master Li? Go now, go with your father and brother, and return the jade pendant to Master Li!"

Mrs. Wu pointed at Gu Yunyan, angry and anxious.

Gu Yunyan was shocked by what her family said. Looking at the jade pendant that was back in her hands, her hands were shaking violently and tears were streaming down her face.

It was clearly Young Master Li and his servants who almost bumped into her first. Isn't it right for him to apologize to her?

How come out of nowhere, Young Master Li took a fancy to her and wanted to take her as his sixteenth concubine?

When she thought of Young Master Li’s face that was as fat as a pig’s head, Gu Yunyan couldn’t help feeling sick. She might as well marry Wu’s cousin instead of marrying a man like that!

At least the cousin of the Wu family was tall and strong, with decent looks, and was pretty nice to her. At her uncle's house, her aunt also had to give her some face.

"Mom, you can't blame me for this. I know nothing. It must be that Young Master Li who did something bad. Can I hide the jade pendant? If I hide it, no one else will know about it!" Gu Yunyan asked crying.

Wu was stunned. Hide? This sounds like a good idea.

However, before Mrs. Wu could say anything, a matchmaker in a red shirt walked in from outside the door.

The matchmaker walked in with a smile, and when she saw the room was full of people, she immediately greeted them with a smile: "Oh, everyone is here."

"Who is Gu Lao Er? I have something to talk to him about. It's a happy event, a very happy event!"

As the matchmaker spoke, she looked around the environment of the old Gu family. Seeing that the old Gu family still lived in a thatched earth house, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she immediately relaxed.

She has visited more than a dozen families like this, and she easily convinced the parents of those girls with just a few words.

Now this one is probably pretty close.

Gu Lao Er was in the room and couldn't help coming over at the first sight. She was the most famous matchmaker in town.

So, Gu Lao Er asked nervously: "I am Gu Lao Er, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, you are Gu Laoer, Mr. Gu Er, congratulations!" The matchmaker smiled even more enthusiastically and immediately took a step closer to Gu Laoer.

"I'm the matchmaker in this town. I've been responsible for a lot of good things happening in Jihu Town!"

"I came here today because the young master of the wealthy Li family in town has taken a fancy to your daughter and asked me to come and talk to you about it..."

Before the matchmaker could finish her words, Gu Laoer's expression suddenly changed.

Mrs. Wu sat on the bed, completely stunned. This was really what she feared.

"My girl doesn't want to do it. Matchmaker, please leave quickly. We won't agree!" Mrs. Wu was so excited that she yelled at the matchmaker.

The matchmaker looked unhappy and said hurriedly, "Hey, you are Gu Laoer's wife? As a woman, can you make the decision about your family's affairs?"

"Second Master Gu, is what your wife said also what you meant?"

Gu Lao Er looked at Wu, and seeing that Wu kept shaking her head, he became more determined, and nodded to the matchmaker, "I'm really sorry, our girl has other plans, thank you for your kindness, Master Li."

When the matchmaker heard this, her smile suddenly disappeared, she became serious and sneered at everyone in the room.

"Do you know who Mr. Li is? You know that Mr. Li is extremely wealthy, and Young Master Li is Mr. Li's only son. From now on, all this wealth will belong to Mr. Li!"

"For a peasant like you, it's a great blessing for you to be favored by Young Master Li. Others can't even ask for it. You really don't know what's good for you!"

When Gu Laoer heard this, his face changed again and again. What kind of peasant is this? He is a student and his son is a scholar!

Wu couldn't help but said, "You are so rude, matchmaker. You came to our house and we treated you kindly, but you talked to us like this?"

"No matter how rich Mr. Li's family is, it has nothing to do with us. My daughter will not marry a lowly merchant family that only smells of money."

Not only did these words offend the matchmaker, but they also made Yao and Wu Xiong, who were sitting silently on the side, change their expressions again and again.

Aren't the Wu family the 'lowly merchant family' that Wu mentioned?

It's really funny. Ever since Mrs. Wu married into the Gu family, her husband Wu Xiong has been giving her money and subsidies for all these years.

Now, I heard such ugly words from Mrs. Wu!

At this moment, Yao felt very angry.
