"You two little monkeys, if you sing and I don't know what you are thinking, don't worry, I have looked away from this matter."
"From now on, the Wen family belongs to Ziqiu, and Ziqiu can make his own decisions on everything. I have recently caught a cold, and I have to rest at home. I will close the door to thank guests and see no one."
Mr. Wen has spent half his life cleaning up Mrs. Gu's mess. No matter how great a favor she has, she has to repay her kindness. She should be happy with the rest.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will definitely run the Wen family business well and won't let grandpa worry about it."
Coming out of Mr. Wen's study, Wen Ziqiu sent Ye Jintang back.
On the way, Ye Jintang talked about Gu Wan'er's marriage.
"I will help Wan'er find a suitable person later. Whether it's a businessman or a scholar, Wan'er can choose by himself."
"Well, what do you think about Mrs. Gu?"
"I don't have a clue yet. Does my cousin have a good idea to get the Wen family to get rid of this dog-skin plaster of the Gu family?"
"Of course there is."
Last time, Mr. Wen asked Wen Ziqiu to deal with the matter of Gu Xiucai's interest in an official prostitute, but the matter has been delayed and unresolved.
It's not that Wen Ziqiu doesn't want to help, it's that Gu Xiucai is messing around and trying desperately to bring the person into Gu's house to be his concubine.
"I don't know what kind of tricks that girl used to coax Gu Xiucai around. She didn't even care about her age and life to carry him into the house."
"Cousin, why don't you fulfill Gu Xiucai's wish? Mrs. Gu didn't say that official prostitutes can't be concubines, so she can just be brought into the Gu family without any name or status."
"Ah, why do you want to help Gu Xiucai?"
"This is not just to help Gu Xiucai, but to find something for Mrs. Gu to do. If you think that an official prostitute with a low status can make Gu Xiucai abandon her face and try every means to bring her into the palace, it can be seen that her methods are definitely extraordinary. .”
"With such a person in the Gu family's backyard, Mrs. Gu may not have the time to trouble the Wen family."
"Take advantage of this opportunity to settle my cousin's marriage. It will be settled when Mrs. Gu comes to her senses and continues to pester the Gu family."
"Mrs. Gu must have gotten a lot of benefits from the Wen family over the years. My cousin just needs to make a list of all these benefits and show them to the elders of the Wen family."
"I don't even need my cousin to step forward. The clan elders can help you deal with Mrs. Gu."
"All they need to say is that if the daughter gets married and the water is thrown out, Mrs. Gu Lai will no longer be able to come to the Wen family to enjoy the autumn breeze."
Wen Ziqiu was silent for a moment.
"Okay, okay, those tribesmen usually only want to cause trouble for me, this time I will find something for them to do."
Wen Ziqiu was a quick man, and that afternoon, a small green sedan carried the beautiful girl to Gu Xiucai's yard.
Mrs. Gu exploded on the spot and came to see Mr. Wen without saying a word.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door of Wen's house, he was stopped by Aunt Ji.
"Mrs. Gu, the master has a cold and is too sick to get out of bed. The master has ordered us to close the door to thank guests and not see anyone. He needs to take good care of his health."
"It turns out that my eldest brother is sick. That's good. I'll go in and see him."
"The master ordered not to see anyone. It would be better for Mrs. Gu to come another day."
Aunt Ji didn't let Mrs. Gu in, no matter how much she pestered her.
Seeing that more and more people were watching the excitement in front of Wen's house, Mrs. Gu had no choice but to leave first.
When Mrs. Gu returned home, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She continued to come to Wen's house the next day, but this time she was smart and went not to see Mr. Wen, but to Gu Wan'er and said she wanted to take her to review her home.
"Old madam, the girl is still ill, why not let her stay at the Wen family for a few days."
When Feng Xi saw Mrs. Gu insisting on taking Gu Wan'er away, she almost knelt down in front of her.
Wen Ziqiu has been visiting Gu Wan'er's husband's family these days. It only takes a few days for the matter to be settled.
If Gu Wan'er is taken back home now, there will probably be trouble again.
"Isn't it just a little feverish? Why can't you come back with me? Get up now and go to the front yard to say goodbye to your uncle."
Madam Gu glanced at Nanny Zheng and immediately went to pull Gu Wan'er.
"What's going on? My cousin is so sick that she can't even get out of bed. The old lady wants to take her away by force. It's so cold outside with the north wind howling. Don't let my cousin's illness get worse."
Ye Jintang walked in from the outside unhurriedly. She sat down beside Gu Wan'er's bed with great concern, and pushed Aunt Zheng aside so that she wouldn't be an eyesore.
"This is our family matter. It has nothing to do with you. Don't forget, this is the Wen family, and your surname is Ye."
"It doesn't matter if it's the Wen family. I came to stay at my grandpa's house in an upright manner, but I didn't come to fight against the autumn wind."
Ye Jintang obviously had something in his words, how could Mrs. Gu not hear it?
"I can't tell, but you are quite venomous at such a young age. You are indeed a little bastard who has a mother but no mother."
Mrs. Gu was so angry that she could not hold back her words. She would just say whatever was unpleasant and could pierce Ye Jintang's heart. She did not care about the Wen family or Mr. Wen at all.
The reason why Mrs. Gu could scold her so harshly was because Ye Jintang was just an orphan.
She has no father or mother, and the Ye family doesn't take her seriously. She feels that even if she scolds Ye Jintang a few times, it doesn't matter. At most, she will be scolded by Mr. Wen.
It's a pity that she underestimated Ye Jintang's fighting ability.
I saw Ye Jintang standing up with a cry.
"Damn old woman, if you dare to scold me, you are just looking for death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jintang gave Mrs. Gu a hard push. Although she was weak, she still had some strength in her hands.
Mrs. Gu was not young. She was pushed suddenly and had no time to steady her body. She only heard a thud and hit the canopy bed hard.
"Killing, killing, this little motherless whore wants to kill me."
Several maids and women hurriedly stepped forward to help Old Madam Gu, but were pushed away by Ye Jintang.
I don't know when, Ye Jintang had a dagger in his hand.
She rushed forward and put the dagger in her hand against Mrs. Gu's throat.
"You should be glad that your surname is Wen. If it were anyone else who dared to speak rudely to me like this, this knife would be stuck in your leg now."
"I'm not a good-tempered person. Whoever dares to provoke me will see whose sword is faster."
Mrs. Gu, who had lived in the inner house all her life, had never seen a woman in the boudoir as fierce as Ye Jintang. She was so frightened that she forgot to shout.
"You, you, how dare you"
"If you can, try swearing and see if the dagger in my hand will fall on your lap."
Mrs. Gu pursed her lips tightly and did not dare to say a word.
Ye Jintang put away the dagger and glanced coldly at the grandmother and maid who were completely stunned.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you help the old lady quickly? It's so cold. If the old lady doesn't stand well and falls to the ground, her bones will be broken."
In the blink of an eye, Ye Jintang turned into that gentle little girl again, as if she was not the fierce person who could take care of the old lady's life at any time.
