businesswoman's wife

Holding the piece of gold inlaid jade, the silver jade said that it was given to her by Su Lishi, but she has no memory of it. It is reasonable to say that she has not forgotten anything about Su Lishi, so why can't she remember this piece of jade?

After thinking about it, she still planned to take the gold inlaid jade and plan to take a trip, and she had to say goodbye to the people in the second department of Baoningtang, and she would no longer be their third grandmother.

Asked someone to prepare a carriage and went to the second department of Baoning Hall. Along the way, people vaguely heard people talking about her being divorced and said extremely ugly words, but she was relieved, this is what she wanted.

"Miss, here we are."

At the entrance of the second gate of Baoning Hall, there was a smell of medicine from a distance, Xu Xiuyi got out of the car, someone on the side of the road recognized her, she didn't dare to be blatant, but pointed and whispered behind her back.

"Why does she have such a face to come to Su's drugstore?"

"Who knows, I'm not afraid of being kicked out."

"It doesn't matter if you drive them out. The people in this shop are cultivated by her alone. Maybe they want to open a new shop to poach the wall."

"She can have this face."

"How can it be impossible? Even my mother-in-law can be forced to live in a nunnery. There is nothing she can't do. It's really embarrassing to the Duke Protector. The honorable name of the first Duke Protector will be ruined by her."

……

The last sentence made Xu Xiuyi feel quite uncomfortable. Yes, she has brought a huge negative impact on the family. If she had a choice, she actually wanted to blame herself for being divorced, and she didn't want to procrastinate The family went into the water, but you can't have your cake and eat it at the same time. These negative effects will always pass, and she can only pray like this.

Time is the best medicine for healing, no matter what kind of injury, there is no time that cannot heal.

After adjusting her mentality, she entered the second department of Baoning Hall with a smile. Several staff members were very surprised, but no one showed any disdain for her, instead, they surrounded her with caring ones.

Others spread false rumors that Xu Xiuyi was so unbearable, but the staff of the second department of Baoning Hall knew nothing but Xu Xiuyi's personality.

"Third Grandma, don't listen to these people's nonsense, let's go, let's go to the backyard."

"Hehe, I'm fine. By the way, Mrs. Guan, you can call me Xiu Yi from now on. I'm no longer the third grandma of the Su family."

Guan Dahu's family said: "I don't care what others say, in my heart you will always be our third grandma."

Xu Xiuyi smiled slightly, knowing that they might have misunderstood Tang Meng and Su Jinyuan, and she had nothing to tell the truth to them, so she said: "Don't blame the third master, let alone Aunt Tang, she is my concubine for the third master. , I also asked the third master to divorce me."

"what!"

Everyone was surprised, but Xu Xiuyi smiled and said: "It can only be said that my fate with the third master is over, and none of us has lost money now, so you don't have to complain or feel sorry for anyone, just help the uncle well, By the way, where are uncle and grandma?"

"I haven't come yet, I went to the Su's Bank, and there was some trouble there." Ah Fu said.

"what happened?"

"Third Mistress, your divorce has been spread like that outside. Those people think that San Mistress has a bad character, and the bank you built may also be defrauding money in the name of the Su family and the Duke's Mansion, so..."

Ah Fu is telling the truth. Xu Xiuyi didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, but she didn't think about it carefully. Now she is determined not to let such turmoil happen in Su's bank. Su's bank has not yet started to make profits. Fees, the clerk's monthly salary, and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, plus the promised interest, these expenses are enough to bring down the Su Family Bank and set up a second branch of Baoningtang.

"Go, follow me to have a look."

"Third grandma..." Ah Fu wanted to persuade, Xu Xiuyi had already got into the carriage, Ah Fu, Guan Dahu and the others could only follow, and the carriage galloped towards Su's bank.

The line outside the Su Family Bank almost formed a long queue. The appearance of Xu Xiuyi caused a commotion, and someone shouted loudly: "Look, the liar is here."

The word "liar" undoubtedly put Xu Xiuyi in a very ugly situation, her face darkened, Afu Guan Dahu and others almost rushed up and pushed the person who called Xu Xiuyi a liar to the ground, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

Xu Xiuyi suddenly shouted: "Stop, Ah Fu, Brother Guan, Brother Li, let go."

Ah Fu and the others were furious, but they couldn't disobey Xu Xiuyi's orders, and angrily let go of the man, but now no one dared to call Xu Xiuyi a liar anymore, after all, Guan Dahu and the others were thick and strong men , and their money is still in Su's bank.

Standing on the carriage, Xu Xiuyi swept across the dense crowd, and said loudly, "Do you want your money back? Do you think I cheated you of your money?"

"Isn't it? Didn't you start the Sujia Bank? Now you earn a grand slam and slap your ass and leave, leaving an empty shell here. You came just in time to spit out our money."

"Yes, spit it out, spit it out."

Filled with righteous indignation, they raised their arms and shouted in unison. They heard movement in the house, and Su Lishi, Su Jinye and others came out in a hurry. Seeing that it was Xu Xiuyi, the two anxious people seemed to see hope.

"Xiu Yi, you are here."

"Brother, sister-in-law." After saying hello, Xu Xiuyi looked at everyone coldly, and sneered, "It is said that I took the money from Su's bank, which one of you saw it?"

"We... we guessed."

These people suddenly lost their confidence. This psychological tactic lies in their aura. Xu Xiuyi's aura has already overwhelmed these people too much.

Xu Xiuyi's eyes became colder and colder: "I cheated money, which eye did you see? The crime of slander is punishable by three months of torture. Don't you all understand the law?"

This sentence is extremely powerful, and just now they were fooling those people blindly, but they suddenly fell silent and dared not speak.

"Do you want to refund the money? Okay, Wang Yun, open the bank. When you deposit money that day, the contract stipulates that if you withdraw it before the deadline, you won't get half of the interest. I think many of you had the mentality of giving it a try. If you have only saved it for three months, the three months will expire in less than half a month, if you want to take it out, I will not stop you, you can take it out as you like, and it will save us some interest."

Among the people below, several of them were obviously hesitant.

Xu Xiuyi waved her hand.

"Bring out all the silver from the treasury."

"Third grandma, all of them?"

"All."

"Then... alright." Wang Yun's expression was obviously a bit perplexed. He was in charge of the accounts of the Su Family Bank, but he was not clear about the money of the Su Family Bank. Two silver coins are not very rich. If they carry it out, others may see the property of the Su Family Bank.

But he believed in Xu Xiuyi.

When Xu Xiuyi got out of the car, Shaoqing saw a dozen or so clerks driving the group out of a circle. Dr. Guan Afu and the others came out carrying several boxes with great difficulty. There were ten big boxes, each of which looked It was very heavy, Ah Fu and the others carefully placed the box on the ground, Xu Xiuyisu lifted it up with an imposing hand: "Open the box."

More than a dozen large boxes, the messy piles of silver almost blind people's eyes under the sun, and one box of gold, the bright color almost makes people dumbfounded. They thought that the money was taken away by Xu Xiuyi, but they didn't expect that the Sujia Bank There is so much silver, which is impossible for them to see in several lifetimes. It is no exaggeration to say that these dozens of boxes of gold and silver are enough to buy the entire most prosperous street in the capital.

Xu Xiuyi looked at the expressions of everyone, and there was an imperceptible sense of relief in the depths of her eyes, and she walked in front of everyone: "It's not that I took the money away, it's not that I swallowed your silver, I have a lot of buddies here, take the money in your hands. Take out the deposit deed, I want to see how much money you want to withdraw, and I will return it to you today."

The guys behind her didn't dare to look at those people, they were afraid that if Xu Xiuyi's plan failed, these people would clamor to refund the money and it would be over.

However, for a long while, there was no sound.

After another half hour, some of them turned around and went back, and the rest of them were in the pile. Xu Xiuyi apologized: "Third Grandma, we misunderstood you. Your lord has a lot of money. In another half a month, my ten taels of silver will be enough for you." I've got some money for meals, I'll wait to get it, wait to get it."

The rest of the people also said the same thing. The turmoil finally calmed down after everyone dispersed, and there were a few old-fashioned people who insisted on withdrawing money. The hundreds of taels of silver were just a few gold ingots. Xu Xiuyi asked the staff to settle the settlement. To them, in this way, the rumor of the Su Family Bank keeping its word will spread even more widely.

After waiting until everyone was astigmatized, in the inner hall of the Su Family Bank, Su Li was desperately drinking tea to suppress the shock, and Su Jinye was also panting, with lingering fears in his heart.

"Xiu Yi, if it weren't for you today, we really don't know what to do. If we refund them, there will be more people who will come to refund the money. There is not enough money in stock here. Your brother and I have started Discuss whether to pawn the chicken blood jade rabbit that An Chengshao sent to Jiaqing's girl."

An Chengshao, that's the name again.

"Xiu Yi, why did you and Jin Yuan get into such a fight? I don't believe what people say." Su Jinye turned to Xu Xiuyi and asked.

Xu Xiuyi smiled and shook her head: "The fate is over, by the way, sister-in-law, although these people have been fooled for a while, it is not enough for the Su Family Bank to only spend without income in the long run. To start the lending business, brother, remember?"

"Remember, Tang Meng is also working on this in the past few days. She has already negotiated a family and used an old house as a mortgage."

"Tang Meng is a capable person, and we will start working on this one after another. We have to make money."

"Hey, Xiu Yi, I'm really not used to you not coming to the store anymore. That Tang Meng is smart and sweet-mouthed, so much better than Lu Yu'er, but... after all, it's not as good as you."

"Brother and sister-in-law are just not used to it, and it will be fine if you get used to it. By the way, sister-in-law, do you know when you gave this to me?"

Taking out the whole house of gold and jade, Su Li looked at it and said, "I didn't give it to you. How can I give you such a precious thing? You know what your elder brother and I were like in the past."

"The silver jade said that I said it was from you."

"You don't remember where it came from?"

"I can't remember, I originally wanted to leave it to Yinyu, but later Yinyu said that you gave it to me, so I wanted to keep it for a while, but I have tried hard to remember these days, but I can't remember when you gave me this. So come and ask."

"Could it be that Young Master Cheng sent you off again." It was Su Jinye who spoke.

He called An Chengshao as Chengshao, and he was very intimate. It seems that the relationship is not simple. This time, the couple didn't seem to deliberately avoid the question about An Chengshao. Xu Xiuyi asked: "Brother, what is An Chengshao who is it?"

Su Jinye looked at her with a slightly embarrassed expression, but finally opened his mouth and told everything she knew about Xu Xiuyi and An Chengshao.

Including Xu Xiuyi walking with An Chengshao when he was drunk.

And An Chengshao accepted Baoan Tang and Bao Ning Tang to fight against each other.

Also, when she was recuperating in another hospital, An Chengshao visited her many times to discuss with her about Bao Ning Tang's acquisition of Baoan Tang, etc.

Xu Xiuyi has no memory of these.

"So, I should be familiar with this An Chengshao?"

"Actually, Xiu Yi, although Young Master Cheng didn't say anything, you may..."

What Su Lishi wanted to say was caught by Su Jinye's coughing plan. Su Lishi opened his mouth, but finally he didn't say anything, just said something that Xu Xiuyi didn't quite understand.

"Xiu Yi, some things are better forgotten."

*

Some things, it is better to forget, why?If you have not experienced extreme pain and grief, why forget it?

On the way back, Xu Xiuyi was thinking about the meaning of Su Li's words all the way, when the carriage stopped suddenly, only the driver said: "Miss, third master."

Xu Xiuyi was taken aback, in fact, she already knew about Su Jinyuan waiting for a long time at the gate of the Su Mansion last night. She originally thought that there was no need to meet Su Jinyuan again, but it seemed that she had to. Su Jinyuan is a very resilient person, unless he meets Su Jinyuan Otherwise, she would definitely come to the Duke's mansion again and again with perseverance.

"Let me get out of the car first, you go back first, and I will call a car to go home by myself."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lifting the curtain of the car, a few feet outside the car, Su Jinyuan was riding high on the back of a horse, wearing a lake blue robe against his already handsome face, which became even more charming.

On the cold street in the winter afternoon, it is close, but it is the farthest distance.

"I want to talk to you." His words were calm and restrained.

Xu Xiuyi nodded lightly: "Okay."

An elegant and quiet tea house, a cup of tea, an incense burner, a scent of fragrance, and a quiet room.

"Third Master, San... Well, that refreshment is over, what else do you need?"

"Go out."

Everyone in the city knew that she and Su Jinyuan had parted ways.

Su Jinyuan waved the waiter to go out, looked at Xu Xiuyi with deep black eyes, Xu Xiuyi poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and the tea was fragrant.

"are you OK?"

"No." His answer was crisp.

Xu Xiuyi stopped pouring tea.

Su Jinyuan grasped her hand suddenly, and the tea splashed all over the table, but he didn't seem to see it. He looked closely at Xu Xiuyi with a pair of black eyes: "Why?"

"what why?"

"You ask knowingly."

Yes, she is asking knowingly, but some answers, in fact, it is unnecessary, he wants her to tell him that I am sorry because I don't love you and feel guilty for you, so I want to leave you, and I want to leave you in this way, or want to leave you? Let her say Su Jinyuan, I have never loved you and being with you, in fact, you are in pain and I am also in pain. I want to be the one who leaves first, but the one who leaves first must also be the one who has to pay the price, and I am willing to pay that price.

No matter how you say it, it is a kind of hurt to him. Xu Xiuyi knows how much he loves her, but she is ashamed because she can't respond to this love.

"Jin Yuan, let's be friends. In fact, we are more suitable to be friends from the beginning."

"I don't want it." There was suppressed pain in his voice, choked with sobs, and he said, "Is that why you did that to leave me? That's why you said those things that hurt everyone, and that's why everyone misunderstood you as a person." Terrible woman, isn't she?"

"Yes!" She withdrew her hand, compared to Su Jinyuan's excitement, she was too indifferent, and indifferently made Su Jinyuan despair.

"So, it's impossible to come back to me again, is it?"

"Yes!"

"Xu Xiuyi, what happened to that letter of divorce?"

"You were drunk and wrote it yourself."

Su Jinyuan closed his eyes, and roared angrily after a long time: "Xu Xiuyi, how can you be so ruthless, you make everyone think you deserve to be divorced, you make everyone think that I am divorced you are right, you make everyone think you are a Damn woman, how can you be so ruthless that you have cut off even the way of recovery for me. "

"Jinyuan." Xu Xiuyi got up and looked at Su Jinyuan, "We have no chance, don't think about saving it, don't miss it anymore, don't miss it anymore, treat the people around you well, Tang Meng loves you very much."

"But the only one I love is you."

"Love is never absolute. You didn't think so a year ago, didn't you? Time can change everything, including love. Even if you told me a moment ago that you would give your life for me, you would not hesitate. If you want to wander the world with me and abandon everything, in fact, it only takes a few days for these words to become fleeting clouds, and we are all defeated by time."

As soon as these words came out, I felt an inexplicable dull pain in my heart, my eye sockets suddenly turned red, and my nose couldn't help being sore.

Suddenly, some clips flashed through my mind like a movie.

"Xiu Yi, I've decided not to care about anything else, I want to fly away with you and leave this place."

"When I let go of these things in my hands, I will take you away, just you, me, and our child."

"Xu Xiuyi, I'm just playing with you."

She staggered, if Su Jinyuan hadn't stretched out his hand to grab her, she would almost have fallen to the ground.

"Xiu Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Su Jinyuan asked anxiously.

Xu Xiuyi waved her hand and looked up at Su Jinyuan: "Don't love me anymore, let me go, let go of yourself, as I said, everything will be lost to time, time is the best medicine to heal everything, please help me Take good care of Lan Ying, I'm sorry, I'm leaving."

Breaking free from Su Jinyuan's hand, he walked out, except for the teahouse, the north was roaring outside, the cold air was bitter, no carriage was called, and a man was walking on the street aimlessly, and occasionally heard some pointing in his ear, but she ignored it.

After arriving at the Duke's Mansion, it was already dark, Ah Fu was waiting at the door.

"Third grandma, you are back. The eldest grandma asked me to deliver something to you. You left this to the eldest grandma."

Ah Fu spread out his hand, it was the piece of gold and jade, Xu Xiuyi took it, but then handed it to Ah Fu: "I can't remember where it came from, since it wasn't from grandma, then you go and help me." It’s done, let’s change some money to buy some winter clothes for everyone, it’s getting cold.”

"Well, how can this work, it's so precious."

"It's nothing more than jewelry. At first I thought it was given to me by someone very important, so I kept it. You can take it. By the way, Ah Fu, I told everyone to keep their mouths tight about the stone buried under the silver box today. Don't say anything." Do you know when you go out?"

"That's for sure, otherwise something might happen. Grandma, you are amazing. Thinking of filling the box with stones and throwing a pile of silver on top, you really fooled those people."

"Hehe, Ah Fu, you need to help grandma and uncle more in the future."

"That's for sure, Third Mistress, just rest assured, Third Mistress, in fact, I have one more thing to tell you."

Xu Xiuyi smiled slightly: "What's the matter?"

"I, I!" Ah Fu lowered his head as he said, with suspicious red clouds on his face, and it took him a long time to pluck up the courage to say, "I know that Grandma San may find it funny or think I'm bold when I say these words, but I really I like you, Third Grandma, very much."

Xu Xiuyi actually knew about it a long time ago, but she just didn't want to expose it to avoid embarrassment.

I didn't want Ah Fu to confess his love at all. Seeing his blushing face, I thought it would be embarrassing at the time, but at the moment, she was inexplicably warm. She patted Ah Fu's shoulder, and said, "You are still young, and you don't know what love is." , When you grow up and meet the girl you like, you will know what true love is."

Afu's face flushed red: "Third grandma, it's good if you don't get angry, I'm afraid you misunderstood me because I saw you were divorced, so I wanted to tease you. In fact, third grandma, I just said this to tell you first, no matter what you do, I regard you as the person I respect the most, not only me, but all of us think so."

Xu Xiuyi's heart was warm, she looked at the gold and jade in Ah Fu's hands, and said: "So, I'm going to pawn and buy some winter clothes for everyone, you are my best buddies, and I gave a red envelope to my family when the Chinese New Year is coming. "

"Well, Ah Fu will thank the third grandma for everyone."

"It's cold, I'll let the carriage take you back."

"No, no, no, I came here in a carriage, and when I went back, I thought, third grandma, take care of yourself, and this is for third grandma."

It was a package of jujube cakes, and Ah Fu said shyly, "I know that you are not too happy anymore, the third grandma, but I still asked my mother to make some jujube cakes. I hope the third grandma will not dislike it."

"How come, thank you, Fu."

Xu Xiuyi wanted to give Ah Fu a hug, but after all, people in this era are conservative, she was not afraid of being criticized, she was only afraid of causing inconvenience to Ah Fu, so she just reached out and patted Ah Fu's shoulder: "Go back, be careful on the road. "

"Well, third grandma, hurry up and go in, it's cold outside."

"kindness!"

Turning around to go in, looking back, I saw Ah Fu still standing at the door stupidly, the dim light at the entrance of the Duke’s Mansion gave Ah Fu a warm yellow halo, in fact, sometimes the most touching thing is those who look at The person behind you.

Xu Xiuyi smiled back at him, the smile was very warm, and waved: "Go back."

"Well, third grandma, you go in first."

"Hehe!" After entering the gate of the mansion, Wei Wei heard distant footsteps behind him, turned around, and Ah Fu had disappeared.

Xu Xiuyi returned to the room, and the maid Yao Xian hurriedly brought over a cup of steaming ginger soup.

"Why did the lady come back, the master is almost dying of anxiety."

"Go and tell the master that I'm back."

"Hey, Miss, hurry up and drink some ginger soup to warm up. It's going to snow tonight, and the maid gave Miss an extra mattress."

"Well, you go and report it first."

Yao Xian went out in response, Xu Xiuyi walked to the window with the ginger soup in her arms, pushed the window open, there was already snow falling outside, but there were only a few here and there, the ginger soup in her hand was hot, she put it in her mouth and blew it , took a sip and the hot air went straight to the throat, but the heart was cold.

Her gaze was silent like a statue looking at the snow that was getting bigger and bigger. When Yao Xian came back, she hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss, it's snowing, why are you blowing wind here, you've caught a cold carefully. "

"It's okay, it's not too cold, Yao Xian, go and rest."

"The servant hasn't waited for the young lady to wash up yet."

"Go ahead, I want to be alone for a while."

"The lady closed the doors and windows, it's cold."

"I'll just watch the snow for a while, it's snowing, you light the lanterns in the yard, I want to see the snow."

"OK then."

Yao Xian took the door and went out, hanging three lanterns in the yard, Xu Xiuyi put the empty bowl back on the table, moved a chair and sat by the window, resting her chin and looking out the window, she couldn't see what she was thinking, but those black pair Inside, there are some things that make people feel distressed.
