Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Laoer took the jade pendant and felt the warm and delicate texture of the jade, which moved him quite a lot.

However, this thing does not belong to their family, but to Young Master Li.

The child’s mother said that she would return the jade pendant to Young Master Li.

"Okay, I'll go with Yun Hong to return the jade pendant now. Mother, you stay with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. I'll be back soon."

After Gu Laoer finished speaking, he hurried out with Gu Yunhong.

Gu Yunyan was very reluctant to part with it. She bit her lip and said, "Mom, that jade pendant is clearly Young Master Li's apology to me as compensation!"

Mrs. Wu didn't expect her daughter to be so stubborn, and she immediately scolded her angrily: "How dare you say that? You dare to accept such a valuable thing. People give it to you for a purpose!"

"Didn't you see that the matchmaker has come to our house? If you don't ask your father to pay it back quickly, Master Li will hold you responsible and you won't be able to explain yourself later. It will also affect your reputation."

After hearing what Wu said, Gu Yunyan's expression changed and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Although she loves money, she doesn't want to be a concubine of the fat and pig-like Master Li!

Originally everyone thought that the matchmaker had left, and Gu Lao Er had taken Gu Yunhong to return the jade pendant, and the matter was over.

But they didn't know that less than an hour after Gu Laoer left, the father and son met the matchmaker on the road.

The matchmaker was walking, Li Decai was riding in a carriage, and there were several servants of the Li family. They were heading towards the old Gu family in Dongpo Village in a high and mighty manner. The two groups of people met halfway.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Gu? Mr. Gu, where are you going? Young Master Li is preparing to visit your home in person!" The matchmaker took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

Then, the matchmaker called out to the carriage again: "Master Li, we have met Miss Gu's father, Master Gu, and Miss Gu's brother, Scholar Gu."

"Oh, tell me, this fate is really amazing. Your two families can actually meet on the road. It's really a destiny destined by heaven!"

The matchmaker kept saying nice things, smiling fawningly, and trying to curry favor with Li Decai.

Upon hearing this, Li Decai lifted the curtain of the carriage, took a look, then got off the carriage with a smile.

When he stood in front of Gu Laoer and Gu Yunhong, he actually stretched out his hand, bowed like a scholar, and took the initiative to talk to Gu Laoer and Gu Yunhong.

"So it's Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu. What a coincidence! I'm Li Decai."

Gu Laoer glanced at the fat face of Li Decai and felt a little proud. His son was a scholar, and even Young Master Li had to speak to them respectfully!

Gu Lao Er cleared his throat and said to Li Decai, "Well, I know you. I just happened to have something to talk to you about."

After saying that, Gu Laoer took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.

"I heard before that this jade pendant was a gift of apology from you to my daughter. However, our Gu family is a farming and reading family. My daughter is ignorant and did not know the value of your jade pendant. She accepted it by mistake. Now I am returning it to you."

Li Decai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Master Gu, you are really joking. This jade pendant of mine is not an apology, but a token of love between me and your daughter. Your daughter accepted my jade pendant, which means she agreed to my request to become my concubine."

"So, Master Gu, you should take back this jade pendant. I don't want it anymore."

When Gu Laoer heard this, he was completely stunned. Did he hear it wrong?

This was something that everyone knew, but Li Decai actually turned right into wrong right in front of him.

Clearly this jade pendant is Li Decai's apology, but he insists on saying it's a token of love. Is Li Decai determined to force it?

"Master Li, what do you mean by this? There is no way my daughter will marry into a lowly merchant family like you!"

Gu Laoer was very angry and questioned Li Decai loudly and excitedly.

"Low, lowly merchant? Oh, Second Master Gu, Young Master Li calls you Second Master Gu only because he gives you face, how, how can you talk like this!" The matchmaker was stunned.

This Gu Lao Er really dares to say anything!

What Young Master Li hates most is others looking down on him. If Gu Lao Er doesn't want to, he can talk to Young Master Li nicely and maybe Young Master Li will agree.

But now, Gu Laoer's words directly offended Young Master Li to death.

The matchmaker looked at Li Decai quickly, only to see that Li Decai was filled with anger and was looking at Gu Laoer and Gu Yunhong viciously.

"Master Li, please don't be angry. This peasant is just a peasant. He has no knowledge. He doesn't even know that your Li family is a wealthy family. Anyone who marries you will enjoy a life of luxury!"

Seeing this, Li San couldn't help but spit and said, "Master, since they don't want to drink the toast, then don't be angry, just do what you have to do!"

"Your ancestral jade pendant is a priceless treasure. Was it stolen a few days ago? Why don't we go report it to the police first?"

"Yes, report to the police, report to the police!" Li Si also echoed, glaring at Gu Laoer and Gu Yunhong with a fierce look on his face.

They were just two poor scholars from mud-legged families, but they took the young master's gift of face seriously.

To deal with such people, you just need to report to the police. Once the police arrive, they will be scared to death. Then what about Miss Gu’s matter, why would they be afraid?

It was because the young master had a good temper that he was so patient in dealing with them. If it were the people under them who were doing it, they would have just reported it to the police.

Gu Laoer was almost pissed off by this bunch of unreasonable people, but they had more people and a wealthy family, so he couldn't defeat them at all!

"Yunhong, what should we do?" Gu Laoer couldn't help but ask his son for advice.

Gu Yunhong was also a little panicked, but he was a scholar and the man opposite him was just the son of a lowly merchant.

So he mustered up his courage, encouraged himself, stood up and said loudly: "What on earth do you want to do? Are you going to frame us?"

"Master Li, if you really want to report to the authorities, then go ahead. We are not afraid. Even if I see the county magistrate, I don't even need to kneel down."

It’s really good to be a scholar. You don’t have to kneel when you see the county magistrate.

Just this benefit alone has made so many people envious!

However, Gu Yunhong's words not only failed to threaten Li Decai, but instead angered Li Decai even more.

In the yamen, the Li family donated a large amount of silver and money. Who among the officials in the yamen would not give the Li family some face?

If we report to the police, we only need to say hello and the girl from the old Gu family will be captured.

Li Decai thought of this and laughed. He looked at Gu Yunhong with a gloomy face and said, "Master Scholar, bah, you are just a poor and ruined scholar."

"I heard that you still rely on your uncle Wu Xiong to give you money to continue your studies. Tell me, if I let someone cut off your uncle's business, I don't know if you can still continue your studies."
