As soon as Yanhuai said these words, the people who had been pointing fingers at Gu Qiheng instantly became excited.
"Okay, the imperial official turned out to be a corrupt official. No wonder he lives in such a luxurious house and wears such gorgeous clothes..."
"Bah, corrupt officials, not only corrupt but also shameless."
The crowd was outraged, and Gu Qiheng panicked and quickly defended, "This is not my house, it is my wife's dowry..."
Before she finished speaking, Qingti cried again, "My lady sold the house a long time ago in order to make up for the shortfall. Didn't you buy it back at a big price? The old lady also said that this house now belongs to the Gu family. If my lady disobeys me, she will tell us to get out..."
Yu Jinxi covered her face and said nothing. Others couldn't see her expression and thought she was crying so sadly that she couldn't even speak.
"I never expected that there would be such a shameless person in this world. Mr. Gu, you really opened the eyes of everyone in the capital."
Zhang Suying was already angry, but after hearing Qingti's words, she became even more furious and couldn't help but speak up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him who were asking for money became even more indignant, "There are no good things for corrupt officials!"
"That's right, such a person is still an official. He even plots against his own wife. Is it strange that he doesn't cheat us common people to death?"
"Pay back the money, pay it quickly. Do the officials of the imperial court owe money to the people because they want to rely on their official power and refuse to pay it?"
"If we don't give you any money today, we will report it to the official. How can we let him do whatever he wants under the emperor's feet?"
The old lady jumped angrily, but there were too many people on the other side, and she couldn't even scold him. Gu Qiheng was even more unhappy. If this matter got serious, he would have to shed his skin even if he died.
At this time, Yanhuai locked onto him accurately, his calm tone hiding a sharp edge, "Master Gu, who is telling the truth?"
After weighing the situation, Gu Qiheng could only grit his teeth and say, "My mother is a country woman and she doesn't know the inside story of the house. All the expenses in the house are my wife's dowry. It's because I failed to restrain my family and made a joke."
Zhang Suying said immediately, "The old lady of the Gu family is going to sell Sister Jinxi, but Mr. Gu actually says this is just a joke?"
Gu Qiheng said quickly, "It's my mother who doesn't hold back her words, and she won't do it anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him said, "Corrupt official, will you pay our money or not?"
"Compensate, pay now!"
Under such circumstances, how could Gu Qiheng dare to say no? I just want to settle the matter quickly and then talk about it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Suying said, "Sister Yu, Qingti said that you have been feeling unwell these days, so I will take you to see a doctor."
The old lady quickly shouted, "How could you let her go?"
Zhang Suying retorted, "This matter has nothing to do with Sister Yu. What does your compensation have to do with her?"
Yanhuai looked at Gu Qiheng coldly and said with disgust, "Master Gu, the emperor has also seen the Yu family's dowry list, please take care of it yourself."
Hearing this, Gu Qiheng's face turned blue.
Yu Jinxi was helped out by Zhang Suying. Those people did not embarrass her, but instead cast pity on her.
The old lady also wanted to leave, but she was surrounded by people asking for money.
When the old lady heard the amount reported by them, she rolled her eyes and fainted when she thought that she had to pay so much money.
Gu Qiheng panicked and called his mother, but the people surrounding him didn't listen to him.
"Don't think you can escape by pretending to be faint, you have to pay for it!"
"That's right, my three-year-old granddaughter doesn't even bother to use this method of pretending to be stunned."
"You praise her too much. The Gu family is a family that eats people without spitting out their bones. How can they compare with your childish daughter?"
"That's right, they...are worse than pigs and dogs."
Being called a pig and a dog by a group of people, the old lady woke up angrily, pointed at them tremblingly, and cried, "You... you are bullying others too much..."
…
Yu Jinxi was helped onto Zhang Suying's carriage. When Zhang Suying sat down, he immediately thanked her, "Sister Suying, thank you for standing up for me just now."
Zhang Suying shook her head and said you're welcome, "Sister Yu, I didn't expect you to be so wronged in the Gu family. Your mother's family is a big imperial businessman. How dare those people in the Gu family bully you like this?"
"It's... a long story."
Yu Jinxi's eyes were red, and Zhang Suying said quickly, "Sister Yu, if you feel uncomfortable, just stop talking if you don't want to."
Yu Jinxi really didn't say anything, and turned around and said earnestly, "Sister Su Ying, you have reached the age of looking for a bride. You have to choose carefully in the future. It not only depends on your future husband's character, but also his family. how."
"Having a family is a matter for two big families. Don't naively think that loving your future husband will solve everything. You will know it when you get married. This is the most useless thing to say."
"Mrs. Zhang loves you and treats you as a treasure. She doesn't want you to go to another house and suffer injustice."
Hearing this, Zhang Suying's beautiful face turned slightly red. She knew that what Yu Jinxi said was heart-to-heart, so she didn't feel too shy and nodded heavily.
In fact, her mother did the same thing.
No matter how good the Ding family's family background is, but her character is not good, her mother will not let her marry.
Yu Jinxi asked the coachman to go directly to the restaurant. Zhang Suying quickly asked, "Sister Yu, aren't you feeling well? Don't you need to go to the hospital?"
Yu Jinxi said, "It's all a heart disease. If I stay away from those people who make me heartache, it will naturally get better."
Hearing this, Zhang Suying sympathized with her even more.
The carriage stopped at the famous Huafang Restaurant in the capital. Yu Jinxi and Zhang Suying got off the bus together, and Yanhuai's carriage also stopped behind.
When Yu Jinxi saw Yanhuai get off the carriage, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Zhang Suying would come, and it was she who asked Chu Dashan to send someone to the Zhang family in advance to reveal the news. Zhang Suying chatted with her very well, and after two meetings, she regarded her as a good sister. In addition, she also helped the Ding family invisibly. When she heard that she might be in trouble, she would definitely not stand idly by.
But she didn't expect to go to the banquet.
From beginning to end, she didn't want Yanhuai to get involved.
As soon as he intervened, the whole matter changed for the emperor.
Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Jinxi still took the initiative to walk up to Yanhuai and said softly, "Thank you to the prince for coming forward for what happened just now. I can't thank you enough, so I prepared a small amount of wine in the restaurant and asked the prince to appreciate it."
Yan Huai stood in front of her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes were calm, "I'm not doing it for you, I just don't want Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu to be sad when they know about you."
Yu Jinxi lowered his eyes, "Even so, I still want to thank you."
Seeing her like this, Yanhuai suddenly became angry and walked away without paying any attention to her.
Zhang Suying looked at Yanhuai's angry look and subconsciously hid aside.
Then Yu Jinxi came over, and Zhang Suying immediately took her arm and whispered, "Sister Yu, you kindly invited him to dinner, why is he so angry?"
After saying that, without waiting for Yu Jinxi to speak, he said to himself, "No wonder the granddaughter of Zuo Shangshu's family won't marry him. No matter how good-looking she is, but with such a bad temper, who would want to marry him?"
