The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 54 What is the relationship between these two people?

Gu Deyin pretended to be natural and slowly walked towards Eunuch Zhang. When she arrived, she felt blessed.

"I've met my father-in-law. What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet my father-in-law here?"

Eunuch Zhang naturally knew Gu Deyin, so he smiled and nodded, "Second Grandma Xu."

The Gu family is an imperial merchant, and they are engaged in large-scale business. They have quite a lot of contacts with him, and he has received the Gu family's filial piety over the years.

Mr. Gu only has this kind of daughter, who he loves as much as anything, and he has seen her in the past years.

However, they knew each other, and he had no friendship with Gu Deyin.

In the past, for the sake of Master Gu's filial piety, he was quite polite to Gu Deyin.

Of course, it's not that he hasn't been coveted, it's just that Mr. Gu was very careful and he couldn't get it.

However, seeing Gu Deyin and Qi Jin drinking tea together just now made him less calm.

I have been thinking in my mind, what is the relationship between these two people?

Although Qi Jin's romance and debts continue, if the two of them really see eye to eye, then his attitude towards the Gu family will have to change.

He deliberately pointed towards the Octagonal Pavilion above and asked tentatively.

"Second Grandma Xu, do you have a good relationship with Uncle Guo?"

Gu Deyin looked towards the Bajiao Pavilion with a normal expression. Qi Jinzhi saw her and deliberately waved his folding fan at her.

Xiao Mingzhang, on the other hand, had a serious face, and it was hard to tell what his emotions were.

She nodded towards the two of them, and then looked at Eunuch Zhang who looked inquiring.

"know."

What's the answer?

Eunuch Zhang was quite dissatisfied, but then he thought about it, this girl from the Gu family was married, so there was nothing wrong with saying so.

Uncle Guo is a frequent visitor to Hua Zhong, and married women are afraid of getting involved with him. It is normal for the girls of the Gu family to have concerns.

Unexpectedly, Gu Deyin said next.

"Speaking of which, the reason why Uncle Guo and I know each other is because of Eunuch Zhang."

"Our family?"

Eunuch Zhang pointed at himself in disbelief. When did he introduce the two of them? Why didn't he know?

"Yes, it's you, Eunuch Zhang."

Gu Deyin confirmed with a smile.

Eunuch Zhang sneered, "Secretary Xu, do you think our family is easy to joke around with?"

He is a popular person in front of Queen Mother Qi. Even the uncle of the country has to give him some respect. How dare you, an inconspicuous woman from the Hou family, make fun of him?

He didn't know whether to call her bold or ignorant?

Gu Deyin said hurriedly, "Father, don't be upset, listen to me carefully."

Eunuch Zhang held his head high, as if he was watching her quibbles.

Gu Deyin recounted what happened last night vividly, and then sighed when Eunuch Zhang looked surprised.

Soon, she changed the topic.

"I wonder if my father-in-law's relatives are getting better? Can that century-old ginseng help?"

Gu Deyin suddenly changed the topic. Eunuch Zhang couldn't react for a while and could only speak mechanically.

"My sister's condition has improved. It's thanks to your Gu family's century-old ginseng plant, otherwise my sister will definitely not be able to survive this time."

Gu Deyin knew that although Eunuch Zhang was a romantic and lustful person, he was really kind to his biological sister.

She hurriedly recited "Amitabha" and then said with a smile.

"It seems that your sister's fortune is great, and it has nothing to do with this century-old ginseng."

Eunuch Zhang took advantage of these words and smiled more on his face.

However, his ability to get along well in the inner court is not only due to his good looks, but also to his cleverness.

At first glance, he took a fancy to Concubine Qi and she looked like a noble person. He reached out to help her when she was in trouble. So when Concubine Qi ascended to the position of Queen Mother, he also followed the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven. So in the flash of lightning, he asked, "Is the Liu family's embarrassment related to this century-old ginseng plant related to you?"

If there was no relationship between the two, why would the Gu family's daughter bring up this matter? Could it be that you want to ask for a favor from him?

I guess Gu's daughter wouldn't be so short-sighted.

Gu Deyin let out a long sigh, "Originally I didn't want to say more about this matter, but now that I see my father-in-law, it's better to make it clear in person."

Eunuch Zhang listened to Gu Deyin talking about the affairs of the Xu family's inner house with a solemn face.

"Your husband's nephew lacks the century-old ginseng to save his life, so he decided to use this ginseng?"

"Exactly."

Gu Deyin even used a handkerchief to press the tears that had squeezed out of his eyes.

"My sister-in-law is the daughter of the Liu family. She teamed up with my mother-in-law and husband to force me hard. She insisted that I go to my father-in-law to beg for leftover ginseng. I refused. No, I earned her hatred. .”

Eunuch Zhang was very angry when he heard this. How could there be any reason to get back the ginseng that had been sent away?

What's more, his sister's condition is very serious. The whole ginseng plant has been used up, so how can there be anything left?

Gu Deyin pretended not to see the anger on Eunuch Zhang's face and continued to talk.

"In order to avoid her and my husband's constant pursuit, I had no choice but to go to the temple."

As she spoke, she paid attention to the expression on Eunuch Zhang's face.

"Unexpectedly, she also instigated my elder brother to destroy my reputation and force me to submit. Fortunately, my uncle helped me out of trouble. Otherwise, the consequences... I am so scared just thinking about it..."

There are truths and lies in these words, falsehoods and facts, and there are even some parts that confuse right and wrong.

So she is not afraid that Eunuch Zhang will investigate. After all, the truth will be more explosive, and her situation will only be more difficult in Eunuch Zhang's eyes.

"It's our family that has caused misfortune to Mrs. Xu."

Seeing the beauty crying, Eunuch Zhang still felt pity for her.

He was actually itching for such a beauty, but he knew better that it would not end well if he got involved with her, so he could only forcefully suppress the heart that was ready to move.

Gu Deyin waved her hands hurriedly.

"Eunuch Zhang, you don't have to say that. I'm sorry to say it. This ginseng was originally given to Eunuch Zhang. If my sister-in-law comes to ask for it on my behalf, I ask my father-in-law to refuse her."

Eunuch Zhang was quite satisfied with Gu Deyin's knowledge. This merchant girl was much more knowledgeable and interesting than ordinary women.

"If she dares to do this, our family will definitely make her regret having such an idea."

At this time, he had a sinister expression on his face. What a rootless person like him hates most is someone trampling on his face.

He even hated the Liu family.

Gu Deyin took this opportunity to give Liu Ruohe eye drops in front of Eunuch Zhang. When Liu Ruohe came to ask for advice in the future, he would definitely be unable to take it and walk away.

Her goal achieved, she was satisfied and exchanged a few words with Eunuch Zhang before bowing and leaving.

Eunuch Zhang looked back at her graceful figure walking away, his mouth watering with greed.

It wasn't until he felt the gaze coming from the Octagonal Pavilion that his back was filled with smoke that he quickly turned back, not daring to look any further.

Seeing Qi Jinzhi waving to him.

He hurriedly climbed up the rockery with a coy smile on his face, and when he met the regent coming down from above, he quickly stepped aside and bowed.

In the entire Shang Dynasty, he was most afraid of the regent.

In front of him, he didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Xiao Mingzhang did not look at the eunuch at all, but left directly.

He has already done what he promised to Qi Meizhi, and she had better not break her promise, otherwise don't blame him for not missing the old relationship.

When passing by the Main Hall, he happened to see Gu Deyin paying homage devoutly and then offering Buddhist scriptures.
