After the ointment was applied, Gu Wan'er didn't dare to put down her sleeves. She leaned on the soft couch to relax for a while, and then said, "Jintang is a good person. She has lost her parents and is helpless. If If I tell my grandmother the truth, she will definitely miss the money in her hands."
"It's not like you don't know what kind of person your grandmother is. She's scheming and ruthless. How can Jintang be her opponent?"
As she said this, Gu Wan'er sighed again. Unfortunately, she didn't hide it, so she still let her know about it.
"Feng Xi, go and prepare some ingredients for me. I will send two side dishes to Jintang tomorrow."
"Girl, how can you still cook when your arms are so injured?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you next to you, and you can do it for me."
"I'm afraid that if I don't see her tomorrow, I won't have a chance in the future."
Ye Jintang thought that Gu Wan'er would be secretly depressed for some days, but who would have thought that she would appear in front of her again the next day carrying a food box.
"Cousin, you don't have to bring me food."
"I am also free when I am free. You like my cooking so much, so naturally I am very happy."
Two side dishes and a pot of pear blossom stuffing were placed on the table. Gu Wan'er sat down and ate with Ye Jintang.
"This is the wine I brewed myself. Please try it."
The small white porcelain wine glass was filled with wine, and Gu Wan'er drank it all in one gulp.
"I thought you would calm down after just one night. You are pretending to be calm emotionally, but you still feel very uncomfortable."
Ye Jintang also picked up the wine glass and took a sip of pear blossom rice wine.
It doesn't have the throat-sharp feeling of white wine as expected, but it is somewhat similar to rice wine. The wine is mellow and slightly sweet, and pear juice should be added to the pear blossom rice wine.
Pear blossom stuffed wine, now that Gu Wan'er is drinking it, it's time to drink it.
"Grandma said very early on that I would marry Ziqiu in the future. From then on, I paid attention to Ziqiu's every move. I know everything about what he likes to eat, what kind of clothes he wears, and where he goes to spend time on weekdays."
"I tried hard to make myself the person he likes, but for such a long time, he still avoided me like a snake or a scorpion."
Gu Wan'er drank pear blossom wine while talking about her depression.
Such Gu Wan'er made Ye Jintang feel a little distressed.
She was only a teenager and had just started to fall in love. She thought she could marry Wen Ziqiu and start a new life, but now she has failed and has to struggle hard for the rest of her life.
Gu Wan'er was like a weed on the roadside. Although her living environment was very difficult, she tried her best to survive, but it was a pity that God always failed to fulfill her wishes.
Ye Jintang likes this kind of hard work in women.
"You have to make your own way, you have to find a way to fight against your grandmother."
"Um."
Gu Wan'er nodded slightly.
"Jintang, I have something to tell you."
Gu Wan'er glanced at Feng Xi who had just entered the house, saw her shaking her head and then said, "My grandmother asked me to stay in the Wen family. Firstly, she wanted me to cultivate a relationship with cousin Ziqiu. Secondly, she I’m thinking about the money in your hand.”
Hearing this, Ye Jintang was obviously stunned. She was already keeping a low profile, how could Mrs. Gu be targeting her.
Seeing Ye Jintang's confused look, Gu Wan'er couldn't help but sigh.
"Jintang, you are still a little young, and you are not very aware of the twists and turns in the back house."
"Since you came to live in the Wen family, every move you make in the yard will be watched by the people who serve you."
"My grandmother only used a little money to hear everything about your life. You usually have good food and clothing, and you don't look like you have any money."
"There are also things in Yuezhou City. She can find out with a little trick."
"Ye Zhizhou has been the magistrate for so many years. It is impossible that he can't keep any money. Grandma knows that you must have money in your hands. She forced me to find out your details and see how much money you have in your hands. She tried to find a way to take it. Own."
"You're saying that some of the rough maids and women serving in the courtyard sold information to Mrs. Gu?"
Gu Wan'er nodded slightly.
"I thought that my grandfather was a powerful person and was strict in controlling the servants in the house, but I didn't expect that some fish would still slip through the net."
"Jintang, please don't forget that my grandmother is the married daughter of the Wen family. As long as she wants to inquire about the affairs of the Wen family's back house, no one can stop her."
Ye Jintang sneered inwardly, Mrs. Gu's hands were really long, and there was no mistress in the back house of the Wen family, otherwise she would not be allowed to be arrogant.
"My grandmother has many tricks. Jintang, you are definitely no match for her. If you can leave as soon as possible, you'd better leave quickly."
Ye Jintang's situation is quite similar to Gu Wan'er's. The only difference is that Ye Jintang still has the Wen family's escape route, and she has no way out.
Although the two of them didn't get along for a long time, Gu Wan'er liked Ye Jintang very much. She hoped that she could live a good life instead of becoming a puppet like her and being controlled for the rest of her life.
"My cousin told me this. If I leave, Mrs. Gu won't be able to make any money. She is afraid that she will eat you. Aren't you afraid?"
Gu Wan'er smiled helplessly.
The worst she can do is marry Magistrate Yang. If that day comes, she will definitely kill herself before getting married.
"Don't be afraid. My grandmother has been controlling me all my life. I won't listen to her on this matter."
His firm eyes fell on Ye Jintang. She was already in the quagmire, that's all.
"You are so stupid."
"ah!"
Ye Jintang wanted to give Gu Wan'er a hug, but as soon as her arm touched hers, she screamed.
"What's wrong."
"nothing."
"It's nothing. Your face is pale."
Ye Jintang took Gu Wan'er's hand suspiciously and saw a clear scar on her wrist.
Judging from the scars, he must have been beaten recently.
"This is?"
Pulling open Gu Wan'er's sleeves, Ye Jintang was stunned on the spot.
Her entire left arm was red and swollen, and blood oozing from the wounds in some places had formed a thin layer of blood scabs.
"Mrs. Gu was beaten yesterday?"
"Um"
Gu Wan'er quickly put down her sleeves. She moved too hastily and accidentally touched her arm hard, causing her face to turn pale in pain.
"Luzhu, go and ask Liuli to come over."
"With such a serious injury, why didn't you ask the doctor to bandage it carefully for you?"
"I can not."
Dare not contain too much bitterness in one sentence.
If Gu Wan'er dares to see a doctor, she will definitely not be able to hide the matter. If word spreads, she will be the only one who suffers in the end.
"When you were at home, did Mrs. Gu often beat you like this?"
"When our girl's family made a mistake, the injuries should not be on the face. Grandma would punish us with bamboo sticks and whip our arms and legs."
"This old witch is really cruel and ruthless. She can do such a heavy hand to her own granddaughter."
"Jintang, please listen to my cousin's advice. My grandmother is like this to us, and she will definitely not be soft on you. You'd better leave and go to the capital quickly, it's better than being plotted by my grandmother here."
"Don't worry, I have my own way and won't let your grandmother be so arrogant all the time."
Regardless of past life or present life, as long as anyone dares to scheme against her, Ye Jintang, no one will end well. She has not yet taken an old woman seriously.
