Yu Jinxi looked at her coldly without saying a word. How could Gu Qiheng really let his own mother bump into him, so he quickly held her back.
When the old lady saw this, she cried even harder, "What evil have I done? I'm so old, and I still have to be angry with my daughter-in-law, asking her to hit me in the face like this...Old man, please take me away. I've been bullied to death, and I've been bullied to death..."
"Mom, it's all because of your son's fault and incompetence that makes you feel wronged."
Gu Qiheng persuaded, and kept winking at Yu Jinxi, "Jinxi, come and apologize to mother, saying you were wrong..."
Yu Jinxi laughed angrily.
What's wrong with her? Why should you admit your mistake?
Just because she is not allowed to sell dowries, is she wrong?
Just because Huanhuan is Gu Qiheng's mother and takes up the title of "elder", it doesn't matter how shameless she is?
How can there be such a truth in the world?
"I'm not wrong. If you think I'm wrong, let others comment and see who is wrong?"
Yu Jinxi straightened his back and refused to give in at all.
"you this…"
Gu Qiheng wanted to curse, but he stopped mid-sentence and immediately changed his look of heartache, "Jinxi, I misjudged you. Why have you become such a shrew now?"
Yu Jinxi looked at him coldly. She didn't want to say a word at this time. She was afraid that she couldn't hold back her anger and wanted to rush up and slap him twice.
"Yu Jinxi, you really want to force my Gu family to die!"
The old lady pointed at Yu Jinxi and shouted mournfully, "Okay, I'm going to die right now. I'll die for you to see..."
Saying that, the old lady was about to hit the wall again. Yu Jinxi counted that time was almost up, and immediately knelt down on the ground, covered his face with a handkerchief and cried loudly, "I don't know what evil I have done, to be forced by your family like this." …”
"Okay, if you want to sell my family's things, then sell them all. If you don't have enough money, sell them to me too, and everyone will be clean."
When the old lady heard this, she was instantly happy.
She thought that Yu Jinxi had finally given in and stopped making trouble to seek death. She wiped her face and pretended to be generous and said to Yu Jinxi, "Okay, okay, I'm just selling you two things. Why are you crying? You are from the Gu family. My daughter-in-law, what are you selling me for?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Suying's angry voice rang out, "You have such a loud tone, you pious woman, and you want to sell Sister Yu. You are not afraid that the Yu family will come and send you pious woman to the court." Go up and ask questions."
When the old lady heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said loudly, "Who is talking? My son is a court official, and outsiders can interfere with the family affairs of the court official?"
Gu Qiheng also looked towards the source of the sound. He didn't know it, but he was shocked when he saw it.
Many people came to the house, led by Yanhuai from next door, followed by a pretty girl, and behind them were a large group of people holding up white slips to demand payment.
Qingti rushed to Yu Jinxi's side, supported her and started crying, "Miss, why are you sitting on the ground? Did the old lady and the adults hit you?"
"Who hit her? She was sitting on the ground." Gu Qiheng was so anxious that he almost jumped up to explain.
"You all stand still, but Sister Yu is sitting on the ground crying. You must have bullied her."
Zhang Suying also walked to Yu Jinxi and helped her up.
"I don't know that Lord Gu, a court official, has a habit of buying and selling wives, and I don't know that you, a court official, are so shameless and connive at your own mother to steal the dowries of your family members."
Yanhuai stood there, tall and tall, but with a cold air, and a sharp look on his handsome eyebrows.
Just two sentences left Gu Qiheng speechless.
Seeing her son's face pale and at a disadvantage, the old lady immediately shouted, "So what if you are the king of the county? This is my Gu family's family matter, what does it have to do with you?"
"Who said that our Gu family bought and sold our daughter-in-law? What evidence do you have? Who are you? If you frame an official of the imperial court, you will be prosecuted."
Seeing that the old lady was getting more and more rude as she spoke, Gu Qiheng quickly pulled her back, "Mom... stop talking..."
"What a court official!"
Yanhuai snorted coldly, "Not to mention that I still have some friendship with the Yu family. Even if it doesn't matter, the court officials are not upright in the family tradition and do not establish family lines, so they are not worthy of being officials. Besides, the in-laws of the Gu and Yu families were personally gifted by the emperor. Marriage, the Yu family is an imperial merchant appointed by the emperor himself, you are committing the following crime by belittling the daughter of the Yu family."
As the big hats were buttoned down, Gu Qiheng's body trembled, and the old lady's face turned livid.
Qingti immediately cried and said, "Our young lady is pitiful. All the expenses of the Gu family are maintained by the young lady. How long have we been married? We have already paid for the dowry. It's okay if Mr. Gu doesn't give my young lady his salary. If he pays the money himself, my young lady will have to pay for it." Pay off debt.
The shop was sold and the debts were not paid off. The old lady wanted to force my young lady to sell the gold, silver and jade that the Yu family specially made for the young lady to get married. That was the face of the Yu family. They are a black-hearted family. They want to kill Yu. Not to mention that my family’s face was smashed to the ground and stepped on, now it’s even worse, and we have to sell our young lady to pay off the debt…”
"You bitch, what are you talking about here? Do you believe it or not? I'll tear your mouth apart!"
The old lady was furious and tried to hit Qingti, but was blocked by Qingfeng who was beside Yanhuai.
"His Royal Highness is here, who dares to be so presumptuous?"
Qingfeng held a knife in his hand, which frightened the old lady so much that she almost fell to the ground.
Gu Qiheng held on to his mother tightly without saying a word.
"You...you are good at holding a knife. This bitch is talking nonsense, why don't you care?"
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
Qingti said loudly, "When my young lady married into the Gu family, the Yu family not only gave tens of thousands of taels of cash, but also several dowry shops, not to mention the fertile farmland in the suburbs. If it weren't for you, my young lady's silver and Where has Zhuangzi gone? Tell me, why don't you give him a name?"
The old lady felt guilty after being called upon. She definitely didn't have anything to offer, but the daily supply of shark's fins and bird's nests, delicacies from mountains and seas, and the silk and satin on her body were all missing.
Zhang Suying glanced at her and said sarcastically, "No wonder, Mr. Gu was born in a poor family, but the old lady is gorgeously dressed and well-dressed. That's how she came to be."
"What nonsense are you talking about? These were all given to me by my son. What does they have to do with Yu Jinxi? Her money is gone. Maybe her maid stole it. The store was not run well and she suffered the loss..."
Yanhuai looked at Gu Qiheng coldly, "Master Gu, is everything your old lady said true?"
Gu Qiheng was suddenly called upon, and cold sweat instantly broke down on his forehead.
It doesn't matter if he accepts this, or if he doesn't.
He didn't speak, but Yanhuai didn't intend to let him go. He said sternly, "If what Qingti said is wrong, then check the shop and see how much it has lost in the past. If the old lady is right, then Mr. Gu , you get a lot of salary, does the court know you have such a salary?"
