"That won't work!" Gu Qiheng objected quickly and thoroughly.
"Why?"
Gu Chengxuan looked at him with doubt, "Dad, you won't fall in love with Yin Niang and Hua Niu, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Qiheng said immediately, "Your mother wants to be the wife of the Gu family, how can she come in and be a concubine? She's not doing well yet, how should your mother arrange it? I can't bear to make her a concubine!"
These words made Gu Chengxuan feel a little happier. After thinking about it carefully, now was indeed not the time.
He can't let his mother be his concubine, otherwise he will be a concubine. Even if he becomes his wife in the future, he will always be marked as a concubine.
Gu Qiheng touched Gu Chengxuan's head and persuaded in a low voice, "Xuan'er, if you bear with me any longer, she will be seriously ill. Your mother will be able to enter the house in a short while."
Gu Chengxuan nodded heavily, "Dad, I believe you!"
Gu Qiheng finally calmed Gu Chengxuan down. Yu Jinxi was looking for him everywhere. When he finally found him, Gu Qiheng asked with a straight face, "What do you want from me, madam?"
Zhang's mother said, "It is said that someone came from the Yamen. It seems to be related to what happened at the Silk Satin Village. Madam, please go and ask."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qiheng's expression changed slightly.
There were so many things going on at home during this period that he had completely forgotten about Zhang Cheng. He didn't expect that he would still cause trouble.
Gu Qiheng didn't waste any time and asked Gu Chengxuan to go back to his room and study hard, then went to find Yu Jinxi.
Gu Chengxuan looked coldly in the direction he left, curled his lips, and slipped out in a familiar way.
…
"What did the people from the Yamen say?"
Before anyone arrived, a loud voice started shouting.
Yu Jinxi frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing. When others arrived, he threw the things directly in front of him.
See for yourself!
She was too lazy to say another word to him now.
Gu Qiheng took the transcribed confession doubtfully, glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically.
"This, this, this... is obviously nonsense. Zhang Cheng is in charge of the store, and the money was clearly hidden by him. Now he wants to find a scapegoat to take the blame."
Gu Qiheng said loudly, "Framing and frame-up, this is clearly frame-up and frame-up."
Yu Jinxi glanced at him indifferently, "But what Zhang Cheng said was reasonable and well-founded. He also said that he had an account book and so on. In the past few years, he has made the account book look like a loss. The money he earned is divided between him and you 80/28... …”
"Nonsense!"
Gu Qiheng blushed, "He is clearly denying this. He wants to blame the matter on me and make the people in the government think it is a family matter. Then he will have no responsibility."
"Jinxi, I only think about you, how could I do such a sorry thing to you?"
What he said was sincere. Yu Jinxi lowered his eyes slightly and pretended to be thinking, but in fact he didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
Seeing that Yu Jinxi was silent, Gu Qiheng said again, "Jinxi, my heart for you is absolutely true. If you doubt me like this, it will hurt my heart."
Yu Jinxi felt sick in her heart after hearing this, but she had to keep her face calm, "But what Zhang Cheng said... is all evidence..."
"Leave this matter to me, and I will make him tell the truth. He just hates us as a couple for putting him in jail and cutting off his financial resources, so he deliberately said these things to alienate our relationship.
He is the shopkeeper, what kind of account book can he make that he cannot make? He just had bad intentions and was still thinking about doing bad things when he was about to die. "
Yu Jinxi pretended to believe him and nodded.
"Okay then, I'll leave this matter to you, but people from the Yamen will probably come over."
Gu Qiheng nodded quickly, not daring to delay at all, and went to do this immediately.
He couldn't let Yu Jinxi know that he had embezzled so much money from the store, and Yu Jinxi also reminded him that not only Zhang Cheng had to keep his mouth shut, but the other shopkeepers also had to keep their mouths shut.
Yu Jinxi watched Gu Qiheng disappear into the courtyard in a hurry, with a sneer on his lips.
That night, Chu Dashan appeared again.
At this time, he was dressed in black and came out of the night, so no one noticed him.
"Miss, Mr. Gu has gone to see Zhang Cheng."
"Is he the only one who has seen Zhang Cheng today?" Yu Jinxi used a silver hairpin to poke the heart of the candle, and the dim yellow light shone on her face, half warm and half dark.
Chu Dashan nodded, "Except for yesterday's interrogation, no one has seen Zhang Cheng today."
"Then kill him and do it cleanly."
Yu Jinxi's tone was calm, as if what she was talking about was just a trivial matter.
Qingti's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
She knew that the young lady had changed a lot recently, but she didn't expect that she could talk about killing someone so calmly.
Chu Dashan nodded expressionlessly, and then said, "Chun Ya asked me to bring you news that the person outside is pregnant again."
Qingti's eyes widened in an instant, and she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Bitch!"
Yu Jinxi calculated the time and it was almost this time.
In his previous life, Gu Qiheng went out very frequently during this period and often stayed up late at night. He said it was for work, but she didn't pursue it.
Seeing Yu Jinxi's lack of reaction, Qingti thought she was out of breath, "Miss, don't be angry. This bitch will get rid of her sooner or later."
Yu Jinxi threw away the silver hairpin in his hand and said with a smile, "Why am I angry? I'm pregnant now, but I don't necessarily know that I can give birth well."
Qingti looked puzzled, but Yu Jinxi said, "She has suffered a loss for the first time in her life. Being pregnant with this child must be very expensive. Pregnancy and childbirth take a toll on your vitality, so you must take a lot of supplements. Find a miracle doctor to tell her and tell her to have more sex." You can’t stop eating such rare things as lobsters, beef and mutton. If your child grows well, she will also be better.”
"How can this bitch deserve to eat such a rare thing as crayfish?" Qingti said angrily, "She doesn't even deserve to eat bran."
Yu Jinxi smiled and patted Qingti's hand, telling her not to worry, and said, "Not only do we need her to eat more, but we also need to give her a life-saving prescription so that she can eat with confidence."
Qingti's anger just barely reached the top and burned the house down.
But Chu Dashan was very calm and remembered all Yu Jinxi's words.
Yu Jinxi gave him another recipe, "Let Chunya follow this recipe, be careful not to reveal your flaws."
Chu Dashan nodded heavily, and then said, "By the way, miss, Gu Chengxuan also went out to find the young master today."
"Who is this mysterious person?"
Chu Dashan said truthfully, "The bastard of the eldest son of Duke Yue."
The bastard son of the eldest son?
Yu Jinxi searched for this character in his mind and couldn't think of it for a long time.
The next day, while Yu Jinxi was having breakfast, someone from the Yamen suddenly came and told Yu Jinxi directly that Zhang Cheng had hanged himself in prison out of fear of crime. Before he died, he wrote a confession, admitting that he had framed Gu Qiheng before, and all the money gained from the shop had been stolen. He was greedy and squandered, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.
Yu Jinxi said calmly that he understood, and then asked someone to tell Gu Qiheng.
