Chapter 60: Of course it will be a grand funeral

You say this every day, can't you change the way you say it?
Madam Shen suddenly burst into tears: "Nianchu, mother has already apologized to you, are you still holding on to it? Do you really want mother to kneel down and kowtow to you?"

Gu Nianchu did not comment: "The old lady really feels that she is extremely wrong and insists on kowtowing to me to apologize. That's not impossible. It's not my fault. You are blackmailing me morally like this, and kowtowing is a bargain for you."

Old Madam Shen was so angry that she was shaking. She pointed at Gu Nianchu and said the word "you" several times in a row, but she couldn't say the rest.

Daughters of aristocratic families are taught to be filial. They never expected that Gu Nianchu would say such unorthodox words.

"Gu, you actually dared me to kowtow to you and apologize. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? I'm going to go to the general's mansion and ask, is this the family education of your Gu family's daughter?"

Gu Nianchu smiled, very ostentatiously: "Old Madam, hurry up and go. Then you will see if the people of the Gu family will kick you out. You bullied the daughter of the Gu family, and you even dared to go to the door of the Gu family to ask for a beating. I think you are tired of living!"

Gu Nianchu's words were not really meant to scare the old lady. As long as she dared to go to the Gu family to ask for an explanation, the Gu family would really slap her in the face.

The Gu family was just full of anger, and she insisted on coming to their doorstep to ask for a beating, so why should they be polite? Just beat her.

Matron Liu and Matron Li were trying to comfort Madam Shen not to be angry. Matron Liu whispered something in the old lady's ear.

Madam Shen suppressed her anger and calmly said to Gu Nianchu, "Ling'er only has you as his principal wife now, so his child will naturally be raised by your side. If you don't want to be involved in Xu's affairs after her death, then just don't worry about it. I'll send someone to send Shaobai to your yard later."

Gu Nianchu's eyes sparkled as he stared at Old Madam Shen and chuckled.

The smile did not reach his eyes, and it was a superficial smile without any real smile, which looked very creepy.

Old Madam Shen didn't dare to look her in the eye and quickly turned her head away.

Gu Nianchu spoke up: "Does the old lady really dare to send Shen Shaobai to my yard? Aren't you afraid that I will kill him?"

The cold words seemed as if they were not spoken by a living person.

Old Madam Shen couldn't help but shiver.

"Nianchu, you are a good child with a kind heart. You and Ling'er have a deep relationship. Now Ling'er has done something wrong, but he already knows it's wrong. You two should live a good life from now on."

Old Madam Shen avoided the question and just kept persuading Gu Nianchu and Shen Ling to live a good life.

She didn't bother to find out whether what Gu Nianchu said was true or not, she just thought he was joking.

The servants nearby were trembling with fear when they heard this. Is this something they can hear?
"Okay, since the old lady is not afraid that I will kill Shen Shaobai, then just send him here. I also want to experience the joy of raising a person like a dog."

Gu Nianchu agreed to keep Shen Shaobai by her side, but Old Madam Shen hesitated.

The grandson of the marquis's family is actually being treated like a pet dog by her. It's so depressing just thinking about it.

Nanny Li whispered to Madam Shen, "Madam, don't you know what kind of person the Crown Prince's wife is? The Crown Prince's wife is the kindest person. She loves even the little beggars she sees on the street. How could she not love the Crown Prince's children?"

Old Madam Shen suddenly understood: "Nianchu, mother knows that you said those words in anger, you will definitely treat Shaobai well."

Before Gu Nianchu could express her opinion, the servant from the front yard came to report in a hurry: "Old Madam, the people from the farm have brought Madam Xu's body here. Please tell me what to do." Old Madam Shen was furious: "Didn't they bury her on the spot? Why did they bring her to the Marquis' Mansion? She is just a concubine. Is it worthy for the Marquis' Mansion to hold a funeral for her?"

Gu Nianchu disagreed with this: "Old Madam, what you said is wrong. Xu is not an ordinary concubine. She was married to the Marquisate with hundreds of thousands of betrothal gifts as a co-wife. Even if she is dead now, not to mention that she gave birth to the only child for the prince, the Marquisate cannot just send her away with a straw mat."

Old Madam Shen's temples were throbbing. "Then what do you think?"

"What should we do? Of course we should give her a grand funeral. She was married with great fanfare before, so now we should give her a grand funeral, so that everyone knows how much the Marquis' Mansion values ​​Xu."

"Besides, Xu gave birth to the Marquis's only grandson, Shen Shaobai. For Shaobai's sake, his mother must be buried with honor."

Gu Nianchu's words were so righteous that Old Madam Shen couldn't find any words to refute for a moment.

Gu Nianchu directly ordered the servant to open the door of the Marquis' Mansion and bring in Xu's body.

"No one expected that Xu would die at such a young age. We haven't prepared a coffin or anything like that. It's too late to make one now. Why not use the old lady's first?"

After Gu Nianchu said this, he didn't wait for the old lady to express her objection and directly arranged for someone to do it.

When Old Madam Shen came to her senses, she was furious: "Gu, how dare you humiliate me like this!"

How dare he touch the coffin she had prepared!
Those who have elderly people in their families have made preparations early. They will need coffins after their death, and Lord Shen and Old Madam Shen have prepared them in the Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Nianchu was confused: "Madam, what do you mean? It has always been the living who give way to the dead. Now that Xu is gone at such a young age, are you going to fight with her for that coffin?"

Gu Nianchu looked Madam Shen up and down as she spoke: "Madam, you look very healthy, you don't look like you are dying, why do you have to fight with others for the coffin?"

"Don't worry, old lady. If you can't survive these two days, I will take care of your coffin. It will definitely not be worse than what you have prepared now."

The old lady was so angry that she was gasping for breath and pointed at Gu Nianchu for a long time without saying a word. Gu Nianchu said that she had to go see Xu, then got up and left.

The corpse has been sent directly to Lingyun Pavilion. Xu lived in Lingyun Pavilion during her lifetime. According to Gu Nianchu's arrangement, the mourning hall should naturally be set up in the main hall of Lingyun Pavilion.

When Shen Ling received the news and rushed back to stop it, it was too late. The entire mourning hall had already been set up.

"Who told you to set up a mourning hall in this prince's yard?"

Nanny Tian stepped forward and replied, "My Lord, this was arranged by our eldest daughter. When Xu was alive, she lived in Lingyun Pavilion. After her death, the mourning hall should naturally be set up in Lingyun Pavilion."

Shen Ling shouted sternly, "Tear it down! Tear down the mourning hall for me immediately!"

The servants didn't know what to do for a moment and all looked at Nanny Tian.

"Sir, my eldest daughter said that we must set up a mourning hall in Lingyun Pavilion!"
