"Where? That's where Song Zhongwen's accountant lives." Gu Caiwei's face looked a little ugly.
Because Song Zhongwen's accountant ran away, it meant that the traitor was Shopkeeper Wang.
This old shopkeeper who Gu Caiwei and her late husband trusted most had been loyal, conscientious and meticulous for many years.
Looking at Gu Caiwei, she still seemed a little unwilling to believe the result.
She called Xiuxiu outside the house and said to the latter, "Go and invite Shopkeeper Wang over. No... I'd better go there by myself. I want to ask him in front of him why he did such a thing." Things come up."
Lu Jing didn't say anything when he heard this. He followed Gu Caiwei, and the two of them soon arrived at Shopkeeper Wang's residence.
Gu Caiwei stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened.
Then Shopkeeper Wang poked his head out while putting on his clothes, "Who is it?"
When he saw Gu Caiwei standing outside the door, he looked obviously flustered, but he forced himself to calm down in just a moment.
"Master Gu, why are you coming so late? Did something happen?"
"Shopkeeper Wang, my late husband and I will take care of you." Gu Caiwei's face was obviously angry.
Shopkeeper Wang fell silent when he heard this, and after a moment he forced a smile, "Why did Mr. Gu suddenly mention this?"
"I'm not here to ask questions tonight, and I don't want to listen to those lies anymore. I only asked one question, just one question. You answered me, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on." Gu Caiwei said coldly.
"...Ask Mr. Gu." Shopkeeper Wang finally put away the fake smile on his face and sighed.
"What benefits did Song give you to make you willing to be his lackey?"
"It's no good." Shopkeeper Wang said in a muffled voice.
"No benefit?" Gu Caiwei looked in disbelief.
"Master Gu, it was you who abandoned us first." Shopkeeper Wang finally said the words he had hidden in his heart for a long time.
"These people in the charcoal shop and charcoal kiln farm have all grown up in Wujiang City since they were young. Our family and friends are all here, and our roots are here. But you are different. Before marrying the Mo family, you have been living in Wujiang City. Capital, this time I am writing to your cousin, asking him to help you find another husband in Capital.
"The people below are all guessing that you can't hold on here and are going to leave us and go back to the capital."
Gu Caiwei bit her lip and said nothing.
"It doesn't matter if you leave. You can't take the charcoal store and charcoal kiln with you, and we can't go with you... This is actually not my decision alone. Manager Ma and the others have already decided He has approached me several times, asking me to think more about your future, so after seeing the letter, I took the initiative to find Young Master Song..."
"Stop talking..." Gu Caiwei took the initiative to interrupt Shopkeeper Wang's words, and said with some dejection, "I can't help you, you are right, I am a selfish woman, so today's betrayal and separation are all my own fault. "
After saying that, she no longer looked at Shopkeeper Wang, turned to Lu Jing and said, "Young Master Lu, let's go."
Lu Ding nodded. He could feel the frustration in Gu Caiwei's heart at this moment. It must be uncomfortable to feel betrayed by someone you trust, not to mention that Gu Caiwei blamed all of this on herself.
In fact, to be fair, she did feel sorry for Shopkeeper Wang and others, but from her own standpoint, at that time, she had no other choice but to escape from Wujiang City.
It can only be said that everyone is thinking about their future.
The atmosphere was obviously a bit depressing on the way back, and neither of them spoke anymore.
When she got outside the door, although Gu Caiwei was still in a low mood, she still managed to cheer up and said, "Young Master Lu, it's getting late and the city gate is closed. Why don't we just rest here for the night."
After saying that, she laughed at herself and said, "There is nothing else here, except a lot of empty rooms."
"Okay." Lu Jing didn't refuse. Indeed, at this point, he couldn't go back to his residence outside the city. Even if he didn't live with Gu Caiwei, he would have to find a foot shop to stay.
In this case, he has no reason to sacrifice the near for the distant and spend more money.
"I will ask Xiuxiu to clean up the room for Lu Shaoxia." Gu Caiwei paused after speaking, and then continued, "There is also the matter of the Zen staff... Lu Shaoxia has fulfilled her promise to Caiwei, and naturally Caiwei cannot break her promise, slave will Find the best blacksmith in the city to make it for Mr. Lu. If you have any requests, Mr. Lu can just ask."
"Thank you." Lu Jing thanked him again.
Gu Caiwei glanced at Lu Jing faintly again before bowing and leaving.
Lu Jing was then taken by Xiu Xiu to the room that was specially cleaned for him. After everyone else left, Lu Jing opened the window near the river and took down Amu who was squatting on the roof blowing the cold wind.
After Xiuxiu exited the house and walked to the front yard, she saw Gu Caiwei standing alone under the laurel tree, staring blankly at the crescent moon above her head.
"What are you thinking about, Miss?" Xiuxiu stopped and asked, holding a lantern.
"I was thinking... apart from the bright moon above our head, what else in this world can remain unchanged for a long time?" Gu Caiwei sighed.
Xiuxiu didn't know how to answer.
"That's all, it's my fault for expecting too much. Even if the moon is not full of sunshine and sunshine, at least you are by my side. As far as this city is concerned, you and I, the master and the servant, are both guests in a foreign land. After wandering for so many years, it’s time to go home.”
"Miss," Xiu Xiu said, "the charcoal kiln, the charcoal store, and this house..."
"While Lu Shaoxia's reputation is still there, let's sell it according to the original plan. Presumably those who take over will not dare to deliberately lower the price anymore. I will give her the share I promised my mother-in-law before, and the remaining money will be divided into three , one point is given to the old guys who have been with us for so long, one point we bring back to life in the capital, and the remaining one point I want to give to Lu Shaoxia.
"After all, I owe him such a great favor, so I should repay him no matter what. However, I heard that Protector Yin from Sanhu Hall said that Lu Shaoxia is not very interested in money. I think so. With his peerless martial arts, he really wants to make money. It's easy, but he came to me even if I wanted to make a Zen staff. He must not really care about money.
"In that case, let's build a charity hall in his name and use the money to help the poor people in the lower city. Lu Shaoxia hates evil, but sometimes his methods are a bit cruel. If he offends the villain for something in the future, With this reputation protected, at least the other side can't put the devil's hat on his head."
Xiuxiu frowned when she heard this, "Miss, I don't have any objection to the share given to my mother-in-law and Lu Shaoxia, but the money given to Shopkeeper Wang and the others... I naturally agreed with your division before, but now they don't Have they already betrayed you? Why do you still need to give them money?"
Gu Caiwei waved her hand, "Everyone has selfish motives. They are just thinking about themselves, which is understandable. Besides, they have been working hard over the years, and they have worked hard without any credit. But they made a mistake in the end, and they did everything they did before without reason. erase……
"I'm already tired. Even Song Zhongwen and the others don't bother to retaliate, let alone scold them any more. I just want to get over this matter quickly and go back to the capital to play as a slave without any worries."
