Chapter 134: Going Home
Gu Yunyao rode on the little red horse and looked back at the house.
When we arrived at the door of the house, the servant at the door was taking a nap. He heard the noise and was about to get angry impatiently. He rubbed his eyes and saw that it was her, so he hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
Look at this little red horse again, isn’t this...
"Take it in and take good care of it!"
"yes."
As soon as Gu Wanwan entered the house, she felt that something was not right about the atmosphere.
When she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, the head master and Mrs. Yang came out to welcome her and asked her questions.
Gu Yunyao handed the prepared snacks to Yang, who was very happy.
"Aunt Gu, what happened in the house?"
"I was just about to tell you that the Duke's Mansion sent a message, saying that a sedan will be sent to pick up Gu Qingxue tomorrow afternoon."
"Is tomorrow a good day?"
"How long will it take to keep a concubine? The Duke's Office just gave me the news today that she will be taken away tomorrow. It is obvious that it will be humiliating." The head of the family was secretly afraid, "Fortunately, you broke off the engagement with them. You are really nothing."
"Evil people will have their own troubles," Gu Yunyao took off her robe, "Gu Qingxue has always wanted to marry into the Duke's palace, and as she wishes, she will have to suffer the good or the bad."
"I heard that the second house's business has gone awry, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the dowry."
Gu Yunyao made a move: "Seriously? It seems that the little prince took action."
"Then I have to go and see the excitement."
The headmaster nodded: "I'll accompany you."
As the night got darker, Gu Yunyao and the head master quietly left the courtyard to see Gu Qingxue.
Go to the back window, break the window paper and look inside.
Gu Qingxue sat blankly in front of the dressing table, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were two jewelry boxes in front of her.
The box was open. One contained several pieces of jewelry, the other contained several strings of beads and some silver ingots.
The second lady wiped tears at her side: "Xue'er, get some rest quickly. You have to get on the sedan tomorrow afternoon. It's not good to rest today. The weather will be bad tomorrow. It won't look good."
Gu Qingxue raised her hand to touch her face and sneered softly: "I still care about whether my face looks good or not? Do I still have a face?!
Mother, although I am not the royal wife, I am still going to marry into the Duke's palace. If I am given such a small dowry now, where will I put my face?"
"Xue'er, it's not that I don't give it to you, I told you that your father... who knew that he would do this in business now?
Not to mention cash now, the shops and everything have been mortgaged, and we still owe a lot of foreign debts, this..."
"If it were my sister who got married today," Gu Qingxue stared at her, "would you give her something like this to make her lose face?"
The second lady choked.
"You don't know how," Gu Qingxue said coldly, "So, don't say anything about hurting me anymore. I will never have anything to do with you again when I marry into the Duke's Mansion.
You don’t have a daughter like me, and I no longer have a family like you.”
The second lady looked at her in shock: "How can you say that?"
Gu Yunyao was watching with interest. There was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and Gu Shaotai came in through the curtain.
"Unfilial daughter! You haven't gotten married yet, you haven't climbed to a high branch yet, and you don't recognize your parents? What are you doing raising a daughter like you?"
Gu Qingxue suddenly stood up: "Yes, I am unfilial, I cannot compare to my sister, let you have a bright face!"
In this case, let’s make a clean break now. Get out, get out!”
Gu Shaotai wanted to slap her with his backhand, but the second lady quickly stopped him.
"Unfilial daughter, I still thought of leaving two shops for you, but now, they are gone, nothing is left!"
There was a flurry of excitement in the room.
Gu Yunyao and the boss left the same way.
Looking at it this way, Gu Shaotai's business is indeed in a big crisis, and the little prince's actions are quite ruthless.
Early the next morning, Gu Yunyao had just changed the medicine, the headmaster had bandaged her, and the servant outside came to report.
"Back to the county master, the young prince from Prince Su's Mansion is here to visit."
"Oh?" Gu Yunyao was overjoyed and was about to inquire, but he came by himself.
When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Gu Shaotai trying to please him in every possible way.
"Little Prince, I didn't expect you to come. What a blessing! Your business is doing really well. We have a lot of good stuff in our shop. I wonder if we can cooperate with you?"
Song Xinghe pushed away the tea he handed over: "Second Master, we don't speak secretly in front of people. The things in your shop are nothing in my eyes, and I have no interest in cooperation."
"My coming today has nothing to do with you. I'm here to see the Lord of Yongning County."
Gu Shaotai laughed a few times without any embarrassment, and continued shamelessly: "She is my niece. If my eldest brother is not around, I can be her home.
Little Prince, if you have anything to do, you can tell me the same thing."
"I don't know, the County Lord, when will my second uncle become my family?"
Gu Yunyao's voice was cold and slightly sarcastic.
Gu Shaotai didn't seem to hear it, and waved to her enthusiastically: "Ayao is here, come quickly, the little prince has been waiting for you for a long time."
When Gu Yunyao went to the front hall, he saw not only Song Xinghe but also Song Mingzhi.
Their eyes met, Song Mingzhi smiled slightly when he saw that she was in great condition.
There are also some gifts on the table, both of which were brought by the two of them.
"Ayao, the little prince has something to do with you. Please tell him quickly. Second uncle, I..."
"Little Prince, since you have something to do with me, why not go to my yard, where it is quiet and easy to talk."
"Okay, I got what I asked for," Song Xinghe stood up, "It just so happens that my mother still has something to give to the madam, but she was afraid that the madam was recovering from illness, so she didn't dare to be rude."
"My mother is in the courtyard, come with me."
The three of them left together. Gu Shaotai wanted to follow, but Gu Yunyao looked back at him: "What? Don't you need to take care of the affairs and wait for the Duke's office to come and carry someone?"
"..."
When they got to the yard, Gu Yunyao asked: "Why, he doesn't know that you are squeezing his business?"
"Don't you know?" Song Xinghe took a bite of the washed fruit, "I don't even need to step in to handle his small business, let my subordinates handle it.
Hey, your fruit is pretty good, where did it come from?"
"The Empress Dowager gave it to me," Gu Yunyao said, "What do you want from me?"
Song Xinghe looked at the fruit, then at Gu Yunyao, slowly eating it in small bites: "I want to ask you something.
You said you would cooperate before, but I didn’t know your identity at that time. Now that I know, does it still count?”
"Of course it counts, why doesn't it count?" Gu Yunyao threw a piece of fruit to Song Mingzhi, "However, I still have the same request. I am secretly and you are transparent."
"No problem," Song Xinghe lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I have something to tell you. Someone wants to buy a gift for the Su family to use as Miss Su's dowry. Do you have anything else good?"
So that's what happened.
Gu Yunyao's eyes shone: "Yes, yes, when do you want it? Was Su Wanning also taken away today?"
"Tomorrow, she is tomorrow. I heard that it was originally going to be today, and they were all carried out together, but the prince said that in order to give the Su family some noodles, it was decided to be tomorrow."
Gu Yunyao touched her chin and rolled her eyes.
When Song Mingzhi, who was silent on the side, saw her look like this, he knew that she must have some bad idea.
Song Xinghe asked: "Do you have any other goodies? Bottles?"
"There's nothing new about the bottle," Gu Yunyao thought for a while, "Wait a minute, I'll go into the house and look for it."
She went to the back room and entered the Chaos Ring to search.
Song Xinghe said to Song Mingzhi: "Second brother, didn't you say you wanted to come and thank her? Why didn't you say anything?"
"I see you are talking about business. It's okay. Don't worry. I'll talk about it later."
Song Xinghe sighed: "You are just too reserved. If you try one more thing, what the Queen Mother grew, when will it be our turn to eat it?"
Not long after, Gu Yunyao came out of the house, holding a small box as big as a palm in his hand.
This box is very unique, in the shape of a rabbit, with flowers, plants and rabbits painted on it, which is lifelike.
Opening it, there was light and beautiful paper inside, with a faint sweet smell.
"What is this?" Song Xinghe was surprised.
Gu Yunyao said nonsense seriously: "This is colorful glazed incense paper."
Song Mingzhi: "..."
