Xie Heng's face turned pale with fright, and he accidentally threw Meng Yunshang to the ground.
"Ouch."
Meng Yunshang was pretending to be faint, but suddenly she was thrown to the ground and screamed in pain.
When she opened her eyes, she only had time to see the corner of Xie Heng's clothes passing by.
And Xiao Man, who was staring eagerly in front of him.
She screamed and ran away crawling in fear.
When man and dog meet, Xiaoman wins.
Ruhua was so amused by this scene that she didn't even care about her stomachache. She smiled and gave Xiaoman a thumbs up.
"Xiao Man, you are so good."
Xiao Mantian ran to Gu Nan's side, rubbing his furry head against the corner of Gu Nan's clothes, and his dark eyes blinked, as if asking for credit.
Gu Nan couldn't help but rub its head.
"Hey Xiaoman, I will give you two big chicken drumsticks from now on."
"Woof woof woof."
Xiaoman poked his tail and ran away contentedly.
Gu Nan asked Ruyi to help Ruhua into the house, opened her clothes and saw a bruise on her belly.
Ruyi found the ointment and came out.
Gu Nan dipped her fingers into the ointment and prepared to apply it to Ruhua.
"Girl, just ask Sister Ruyi to apply it for me."
Gu Nan refused, pushed her hand away, and gently applied the ointment on Ruhua's belly.
Feeling Ruhua's body tremble slightly, she relaxed her strength and asked softly: "Does it hurt?"
Ruhua shook her head and stuck out her tongue with a smile.
"My slave's skin is strong. It hurt a little just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore."
Gu Nan couldn't help but blush.
In her previous life, Ruhua served her the longest, and in the end she was beaten fifty times by Meng Yunshang.
When he was carried back, Ruhua had turned into a bloody man.
But she still put on a smile and tried to act like she usually smiled to coax her.
"Girl, don't cry. I'm really skinny. You'll be fine soon."
But the girl who always made faces and said she was skinny didn't make it through that night and left her behind.
She held the flower-like corpse and sat there all night, crying all her tears.
The next day, they only waited for Xie Heng to deliver a bowl of deadly poison.
"Girl, don't cry. I really don't feel any pain anymore."
Ruhua hurriedly wiped Gu Nan's tears with a handkerchief and shouted Ruyi again.
"Sister Ruyi, please coax the girl quickly."
Ruyi nodded Ruhua's forehead, "Silly girl, I feel sorry for you.
I've told you a long time ago, please control your mouth and don't cause trouble for the girl.
You are a slave, and the prince is the master. If you want to punish you and make it difficult for the girl, isn’t it just a matter of taking control? "
Ruhua is unconvinced.
"What's wrong with the prince? I just can't bear to see him wronging the girl. No one can bully our girl."
Ruyi glared at her.
"You should believe the girl. If the girl didn't have a way to deal with it, how could she let Meng enter the Songxue Hall at will?
Did you forget that the girl specially asked Xiaoman to smell the prince's clothes last night? The prince's favorite was ambergris.
With Xiaoman here, the prince cannot enter the main room of Songxue Hall at will, and Meng's plan will not succeed. "
Ruhua curled her lips.
"Xiao Man was thrown away by the Crown Prince. It seems that Xiao Man still needs to strengthen his training."
After a pause, Ruhua couldn't help but feel indignant.
"Meng's is a cheap concubine who dares to provoke the girl like this just after entering the house. If this continues, our girl's life will not be able to survive in the future.
We can't let our girl swallow her anger all the time and let a cheap concubine show off her power, right? "
Gu Nan listened quietly to the two maids talking until she heard this sentence and said, "It's okay if you can't help it."
Ruhua's eyes widened in surprise.
"Girl, you..."
Gu Nan pulled her clothes back up and raised his hand to rub her head.
"I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to hide your words, so I didn't tell you that we wouldn't be staying in Wenchanghou Mansion for too long.
As long as the time is right, I will make peace with Xie Heng. "
Ruhua was stunned, and it took her a long time to realize what she was doing, and she said viciously: "Hao Li, such a family that doesn't distinguish right from wrong is not worthy of you, girl."
Gu Nan smiled and said, "It's not the time for reconciliation yet, so we have to be patient for the time being.
You and Ruyi should be careful and avoid direct conflicts with Xie Heng and Meng in the future. "
Ruhua's eyes rolled, "Then how long do we have to endure it? Girl, you know, I have a hot temper, if I can't help it..."
Gu Nan couldn't help laughing.
"It won't take long. As long as the Gu clan can support my reconciliation and are willing to come forward for me to negotiate peace and separation with the Wenchang Hou Mansion, we will have a chance to leave the Hou Mansion."
Her father and brother are gone. If she wants to reconcile with Xie Heng, she can only ask the Gu clan to come forward.
Ruhua's face fell when she mentioned the elder of the Gu clan.
"I'm afraid that the Gu clan members are worried that the girl's divorce will affect the reputation of the women in the family who are getting married, so they will definitely have many concerns.
What's more, the second master, the third master and the clan elders were already angry with the girl for handing over the Gu family property to the stewards of the Wenchang Hou Mansion, so they might not be willing to support the girl. "
Gu Nan felt a little sad.
Not long after she married into the Marquis of Wenchang, her father and brother both passed away due to sudden heart attacks.
The mother is ill in bed, and the sister-in-law has to serve her mother and take care of a pair of young children, so she has no time to spare.
At this time, Xie Heng provoked a relationship between her and the second and third bedrooms of the Gu family.
He said: "The Gu's business was founded by my father-in-law with great hard work. It is the hard work of my father-in-law throughout his life. It cannot be destroyed just like this."
He added: "The second and third brothers of the Gu family are very ambitious, and the nephew is young. If the second uncle and the third uncle are allowed to take over the Gu family's property, when the nephews grow up, the property will definitely be cannibalized by the second and third brothers of the Gu family."
Finally, he said: "It would be better to hand over Gu's property to the chief steward of the Hou Mansion for safekeeping.
First, with the honorable name of the Marquis Mansion covering it, the second and third bedrooms of the Gu family did not dare to object.
Secondly, the Gu family is an imperial merchant and has frequent contacts with the inner palace supervisors on weekdays. When the stewards of the Wenchang Marquis Mansion come forward, the Gu family's goods rarely get stuck. "
She believed Xie Heng's words and broke up with the second and third brothers of the Gu family. She allowed the chief steward of the Hou Mansion to serve as the general manager of Gu's business, taking charge of various shops.
Each house in the Gu family receives bonus money from the head steward of the Hou Mansion every month.
It was obviously the Gu family's property, but he still wanted to look at the expression on the Hou Mansion's face.
The second uncle and the third uncle also fell out with her because of this.
Gu Nan smiled bitterly, "So we must first take control of the Huihu family's industry and gain the trust and support of the second and third uncles, so that they can support me and Li."
Ruhua doesn't understand business matters.
But she understood what her girl meant, rolled up her sleeves, and asked enthusiastically: "The girl only said what I need the slave to do. Whether it's scolding or fighting, the slave is good at it."
Gu Nan was amused, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.
"Get up and pack your things first. Let's go back to my parents' house first."
Ruhua blinked, "Go home? Does the princess agree?"
A married woman cannot return to her parents' home without her mother-in-law's permission.
Ruyi smiled and blinked, "The girl had already guessed that Meng's family would cause trouble today, and deliberately made the matter a big deal in order to return to her parents' home."
What does it have to do with going back to your parents' home to make things worse?
Ruhua is confused.
Gu Nan smiled and said, "Just pack your things and let Chen Li prepare the car and wait. I'll go to Nanshan Hall and we'll leave when I get back."
