Chapter 13 Please
"Madam, the villain has collected all the evidence you want. Please take a look." Peng Nian respectfully presented a few account books, "There are also bad debts from other houses, but the villain handled them carefully. Only
I picked Butler Chen alone, and no one else was implicated."
Zhao Mingruo took the account book and started reading it, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, "This shameless guy actually embezzled nearly ten thousand taels of silver."
Far exceeded Zhao Mingruo's expectations.
Those are all her dowry and hard-earned money!!
"You're doing a great job." Zhao Mingruo said coldly, "I believe it won't take long for you to have your dreams come true."
Peng Nian carefully left the yard without being noticed.
Inside the inn.
Gu Changheng hurriedly brought the boy over. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yun Suiwan holding a white silk on the stool.
"Sister Wan, what are you doing? Come down quickly!"
His heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he quickly hugged Yun Suiwan to prevent her from being impulsive.
Yun Suiwan resisted and pushed him, tears falling heavily on the back of Gu Changheng's hand, "No, leave me alone, cousin, just let me die. I don't want to live anymore."
"Sister Wan, this is so good, why can't you think about it, you are still carrying our child in your belly, but don't do anything stupid!!"
Gu Changheng coaxed fearfully, "Let's come down and talk about it if we have anything to do. You tell your husband that he will definitely agree to it and don't hurt the child in your belly."
When Yun Suiwan heard this, she burst into tears instantly, "Husband, why don't you even tell me something as important as taking a concubine? Am I not even as good as a concubine in your heart?"
"If you really don't like me, just leave it to me. It was me who shamelessly seduced you, my husband, and I will never drag my cousin down."
She can cry very much.
Every time she cries, she cries just right, so that she doesn't look ugly and still gets the man's pity. The crystal teardrops are like broken pearls. This pitiful and aggrieved look makes Gu Changheng's heart.
My heart will melt.
Gu Changheng immediately understood why, "Sister Wan, what are you talking about? It was clear that we were in love at the beginning. I don't blame you. Listen to me, it was not my intention to take a concubine. I don't know her aunt's name.
I’ve never seen her before, it’s the one in the mansion who insists on marrying me.”
"I only like you, why would I want to marry someone else?!"
After some hard talk, Yun Suiwan was persuaded to get off the stool. Gu Changheng grabbed Bai Ling and threw it out, for fear that Yun Suiwan would not be able to think about it anymore.
Yun Suiwan's eyes were slightly red, "Husband, I already know that your aunt is going to have a wedding tomorrow, and you still lied to me."
"If you don't want to marry, is it possible that the young lady from the Yao family can still force you to take her in?"
Gu Changheng felt wronged and quickly explained, "It's really not the case, sister Wan. If I really changed my mind, why would I leave the one in the family alone and always be in love with you?"
"It's all the fault of Zhao Mingruo. She's not in good health. She's been sick all the time. Even after seeing the doctor, she's not feeling better. She's said to have to recuperate for half a year. She's worried about being gossiped about, so she insists on making trouble for my aunt.
Son, I was forced to do nothing."
Yun Suiwan became even more sad when he heard this, "Cousin, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been married for a year and still have nothing to do..."
"You might as well let your aunt in, so that you can have your own flesh and blood."
Gu Changheng gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? My flesh and blood will naturally be born for me, Sister Wan, no one else is needed, don't think too much, just give birth in peace, the child you are carrying is
The flesh and blood I want most."
"I will never treat you and the child badly."
"Cousin, you are the best to me. I only have you." Yun Suiwan snuggled into Gu Changheng's arms obediently, but he started to panic in his heart.
In the past, Gu Changheng's only wife was Zhao Mingruo, who was not funny and had an arrogant temper. She had the confidence to hold her cousin tightly in her hands and make her cousin only like her and listen to her words. Although the reputation of the concubine was not as good as that of the concubine, her life
But it was very nourishing.
The husband treated her as if she were an eyeball, and he didn't have to look at his mistress's face, let alone worry about any household chores.
Now Zhao Mingruo takes the initiative to take concubines for Gu Changheng. One can resist the temptation, two or three. Men are lustful after all, especially when she is pregnant and cannot serve her husband, she is most easily taken advantage of by other women.
Got a loophole.
Damn Zhao Mingruo, no matter what, she must find a way to hold on to her husband tightly and never let her husband fall in love with another woman.
"Husband, my stomach hurts so much."
Yun Suiwan groaned in pain.
"My stomach hurts, what's wrong, Wanmei, don't scare me, Zhusheng, go and call the doctor quickly..."
After being busy very late, Gu Changheng had time to return to the Hou Mansion.
The night is melting, and the light as clear as flowing water coats the earth with a gentle veil. The breeze blows and the leaves sway, quiet and peaceful.
This was the first time that he felt that he was so powerless between two women. If it had been normal, he would not have been so anxious to return home. Now it was just to ask for money.
Yunyao Courtyard.
The candle shadow swayed, Zhao Mingruo's figure was reflected on it, and Ah Fu was accompanying her.
Ah Fu muttered dissatisfiedly, "Madam, I have sent someone to find the second master, but the second master only asked Zhu Sheng to come back and reply, saying that he is troubled by something and can't leave."
"He has promised you to marry Aunt Yao. What will happen if he doesn't come back at the right time?"
Zhao Mingruo drank tea with a calm expression, "It doesn't matter, he will come back eventually."
Yun Suiwan was pregnant for ten months, and he couldn't stay with her every day, but... her thoughts were also very clear. It was definitely not the true love and friendship that Gu Changheng said, but she was probably interested in the status and power of the Hou Mansion.
.
She just needs to find an opportunity when Gu Changheng relaxes.
It has always been easy to dodge open guns but hard to prevent hidden arrows.
"Has the house been decorated yet?"
"In the afternoon, Peng Nian ordered the people in the house to post happy words and hang up red lanterns. Because she was just an aunt, she didn't need to be so formal and wouldn't hold a big banquet. However, she also prepared a few banquets to comfort the folks and also
I sent a wedding invitation to inform the people close to me, and also...delivered it to the person at the inn."
"good."
Zhao Mingruo was very satisfied with Peng Nian's cleverness. In her previous life, she only discovered this talent after she helped Gu Changheng win the title after the family split. As expected, she only had to mention something and he would have a clear idea of how to implement it later.
While the two were talking, they heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
Gu Changheng had a somewhat flattering look on his face, "Aruo, I'm sorry I came back so late. It's really because Master Yin has something to do and I can't leave for the time being."
"As you know, the scientific examination day is coming soon, and the studies are also very heavy."
