Hua Niu was afraid of being held accountable, so she knelt on the ground with a plop before Gu Qiheng could speak, "Cousin Qiheng, I was wronged. I had no bad intentions. I really only thought about my aunt."
Hua Niu said it sincerely, wishing she could raise three fingers to swear. After speaking, she looked towards the old lady and asked her for help.
The old lady couldn't bear to be criticized while she was kneeling on the ground, so she interrupted dissatisfiedly, "This is obviously because Yu Jinxi is ignorant and disrespects me as a mother-in-law. What does it have to do with Hua Niu?"
Gu Chengxuan retorted, "It's irrelevant, how dare my cousin kowtow to you while I'm my mother? Shouldn't my cousin avoid suspicion regarding the Gu family's affairs?"
"How can you say that about your cousin, Yu Jinxi, a foreigner..." The old lady's eyes widened instantly. She realized something was wrong as soon as she said the words, and quickly changed her words, "When adults are talking, why are you, a child, interrupting?"
Gu Chengxuan said, "I'm not a child anymore. My father and mother taught me to read. I can read and digit, and I can tell the difference between things. You and your mother are both right about this. It's all your fault, my cousin. She shouldn't have persuaded you to follow Mom is making trouble."
The old lady was choked, why did the child target one of his own?
Hua Niu didn't expect that Gu Chengxuan would punish her to death. She really didn't see that he was so protective of Yu Jinxi.
"Chengxuan, my cousin knows that I'm wrong. I know that I live under someone else's roof and I shouldn't talk too much. In the past, you didn't study. You slipped out of the back door and got out through a dog hole. I hit you several times. I shouldn't treat you like an elder. Identity says you.
But I also thought that you were just young and just coveting the temporary novelty outside. I had no intention of telling your father. You don’t have to accuse me so unfairly. When I told you, I was really just doing it for your own good and had no bad intentions. "
As soon as he heard this, Gu Qiheng's eyes changed when he looked at Gu Chengxuan, "You don't study? Are you still trying to get into trouble?"
Gu Qiheng has great expectations for Gu Chengxuan, and he has always been diligent and studious, which Gu Qiheng likes.
Now that the superficial skills were exposed, Gu Chengxuan wanted to gouge out Hua Niu's eyes.
Yu Jinxi sat and watched them dog-eat-dog, but what they were saying to each other were trivial matters. She was too lazy to listen anymore, so she turned around and left.
In that room, Gu Chengxuan was still arguing with Hua Niu and his face was red. Gu Qiheng was even more anxious about his son's homework and studies. No one paid any attention to Yu Jinxi. By the time the old lady came to her senses, Yu Jinxi had already walked back to her yard.
After Qingti sat down in Yu Jinxi, she quickly poured her a cup of tea, "Miss, this young man... bah, that bastard and flower girl are really unambiguous. You talk about me and I talk about you, and there is no falsehood."
Yu Jinxi sneered, "Both of them have evil intentions, what good can they say about each other? Gu Chengxuan wanted his mother-in-law Liu Ruyan to come in and become his wife, while Hua Niu, a widow, wanted to rely on the relationship between the old lady and Gu Qiheng. , even if you are a good concubine, it is better than returning to your poor husband's family and being a widow."
"What a pair of despicable bastards." Qingti gritted her teeth with hatred when she thought of Gu Chengxuan's identity.
Yu Jinxi was noncommittal. The acting skills of these two people were not very good. It was a pity that he was kept in the dark in his previous life and had to be treated as a bull and a horse for the rest of his life.
"Qingti, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
"yes!"
Although Qingti didn't know what Yu Jinxi was going to do, she immediately followed it.
…
"Prince, we have found out that the group of people who broke into Gu's house last night to ask for money were working for Chu Dashan. Chu Dashan was brought by Miss Yu from Dingzhou. The 10,000 taels of silver must have been handed over to Yu Dashan. In the hands of the lady."
Qingfeng faced Yanhuai and said truthfully.
Yanhuai played with the tea cup, holding the lid between his two well-jointed fingers and bumping against the cup, making a crisp sound.
He looked confused and asked lightly, "What else?"
Qingfeng replied, "This morning, Miss Yu went to the silk and satin shop, met Mrs. Zhang by chance, and went shopping with Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang for a while. At this time, there was a lot of trouble in the Gu family. From the looks of it, it must be for What happened this morning.”
After saying that, Qingfeng had a strange expression on his face. He clearly looked like he had something to say, but he just couldn't bear to speak.
Yanhuai looked at him, his dark eyes filled with anger, "What do you want to say?"
Qingfeng paused, and then said directly, "Prince, I feel that Miss Yu is not normal these days."
Yanhuai raised his eyebrows, "What kind of abnormal method?"
"Miss Yu would not be like this in the past."
"What will happen?"
"My subordinates have been watching for two days. Miss Yu seems to be trying every means to get money from the Gu family these days. The prince initially thought that Miss Yu had sold the house and must have given the money to Mr. Gu, but you can return the land deed. After giving it to Miss Yu, she still found someone to collect the debt, which shows that Miss Yu did not sell the house for Mr. Gu, but maybe just changed hands and found an excuse to ask the Gu family for money. "
Yanhuai looked at Qingfeng, with a faint curve on his lips, a hint of sarcasm, "Is it possible that she was just annoyed for a moment and deliberately punished them?"
The Gu family went a step further and put all the dowry given to Yu Jinxi by Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu into their own pockets. Maybe she didn't want to endure it any longer.
Qingfeng didn't talk too much, it wasn't impossible.
It is said that couples quarreled at the bedside and at the end of the bed. Miss Yu made excuses to ask for money today. Maybe she would spend all the money on Mr. Gu.
This is all impossible!
"The prince... everyone from the Yu family has written. You don't have to worry about Miss Yu like this."
Qingfeng thought about it again and again, but couldn't help but talk too much.
Unexpectedly, when Yanhuai heard this, his eyes sharpened. Without another word, Qingfeng knelt down to apologize.
"Back off."
The three faint words were all sharp, and the flash of murderous aura disappeared in an instant.
Yu Jinxi drank two cups of tea in her small courtyard, and then Gu Qiheng came in a hurry. When there were no other people around, he put away his cold face and comforted her with gentle words.
"Jinxi, I know you have been wronged, but what happened today is so ridiculous. Your mother was crying pitifully while you were away. That's why I got angry. Don't take it to heart."
"Jinxi, everything is Hua Niu's fault. I have asked her to leave the Gu family. This will never happen again."
Gu Qiheng said a lot, but Yu Jinxi kept her head down from beginning to end, half leaning on the armchair, and silently avoiding Gu Qiheng's hand that tried to reach out to comfort her.
She couldn't help but gag when she thought of his hands touching Liu Ruyan.
She did not look at Gu Qiheng's face, but waited for him to finish speaking, then lowered her voice and said, "I have already written the letter of separation. You just need to sign and seal it. If you don't want to, Qingti and I will go back to Dingzhou." I will find a way to make peace with you."
Gu Qiheng became anxious when he heard this, "I don't want to make peace with you! How can I make peace with you?"
"No reconciliation? Is it possible that you still want to divorce your wife?"
Qingti immediately raised her voice and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Gu, what evil has my young lady done to make you divorce your wife? If you can't tell me, our young lady will never recognize this divorce letter."
