Chapter 96 Not All Threats Work
Just before entering the courtyard, Bai Kou held up the eight-character approval paper and the address of the man's house, announcing to everyone that someone had responded to sister Meilun's marriage, and the courtyard was immediately ebullient. She was so teased that her face was flushed, holding the two pieces of paper that Bai Kou handed her, she didn't know whether to read it or not.

Bai Kou went back to the room first, washed her hands and wiped off the sweat, and when she walked out of the room again, she was immediately forced to go to the small kitchen surrounded by impatient people, gave her water and fruit, and pushed Mei Lun over to listen to the details together.

What Yan Bo said, Bai Kou would repeat it exactly. The young man's misfortune had to be explained clearly to Meilun. Family medical history investigation.

Meilun blushed all the time and didn't say a word, and everyone was very considerate and didn't rush her to make random decisions. This young man who is at the right age and still single has a reputation for restraining his wife. Anyone who changes should think carefully.

After Bai Kou finished telling the story, she asked someone to clean the table and prepare to make snacks. Meilun covered her hot face and went back to the room with her sister to discuss.

When Gu Yun came home from school, he was surrounded by maids as soon as he entered the courtyard, and reported the good news to him chirping. When Gu Yun entered the main room, he asked Meilun for the two pieces of paper to see who it was. The main purpose is to know which side of the business the store run by the shopkeeper belongs to.

The personal inheritance left by the Duke of the First Kingdom was divided equally among the three lords. In addition, there were ancestral property and family property, which were all inherited by the lord. The old lord and the three wives all brought a dowry shop when they married in. Therefore, it is very important to find out which side the shopkeeper is on. Don't be happy for a long time until you find out that the shopkeeper is under the second or third aunt's staff, it will be a bit embarrassing.

After eating some snacks, Gu Yun took the note and went to the front yard to find Mr. Accountant himself, and asked him to look through the books to verify the identity of the shopkeeper.

The assets of the public are all recorded in detail, and there are detailed addresses and names on the note, so it was quickly found out in the books that it was a shop belonging to the family property.

Since the shopkeeper is one of his own, there is no need to worry.

Meilun was grateful for the young master's reply. After serving the young master to rest at night, the two sisters sat on the platform outside the main room to discuss until midnight, and finally decided to accept God's arrangement.

Early the next morning, Gu Yun ate breakfast and went to school. He asked the boy to pass a note to his bodyguards, and started to do background checks to find out the generations of his ancestors.

After Bai Kou practiced boxing, she also rushed to the ice cellar to watch the men work. This was the third day of cleaning the ice cellar, and it was finally finished.

At the east kitchen side, craftsmen also came early in the morning. Many problems were found in the oven that had not been used for more than ten years. There were still abandoned bird's nests in the chimney. It is better to restore the oven to use than building a new one Trouble, but tinkering will not cause too much dust, just take a few more days.

Taking advantage of the break between work, Lu Doudou told Bai Kou a piece of gossip. Those cooks and cooks who were suspended from work and went home did not keep their mouths shut. Rumors began to spread among the servants who lived in the back street. If they were not guarding the back door The mother-in-law is conscientious, and Wen Gushan's wife wants to rush into the kitchen and tear Mengmei apart.

Bai Kou himself was so busy every day that he hit the back of his head with his feet, and he had long since lost the mood to pay attention to the gossip in the east kitchen, but everyone in the kitchen had only this little fun every day, so it was not easy for Bai Kou to refute Lu Doudou's interest. It's okay for her to talk, not to mention that this is also a way to maintain the relationship.

After this farce, the background of Wen Gushan also spread. He came to the mansion naked, because he was good at cooking, and he was too old to have a family. The eldest lady gave him a young widow. It's not a marriage, but it actually lives in the father-in-law's house, and there is no other room for him.

So now that the rumors come out, everyone can imagine what it will be like for Wen Gushan to face the relatives of his father-in-law's family. Some people are already gloating in private, waiting to see if he will be even more unlucky.

Bai Kou still reminded Lu Doudou to stand on the sidelines. After all, when it comes to conflicts and grievances, the old people have more troubles with Wen Gushan. They, the newcomers who came in this year, must not talk nonsense.

Lu Doudou patted her chest to promise that she would only watch the show and not interrupt. The filial piety banquet in June was still waiting for them. Other things were trivial.

After finishing work and eating, Bai Kou put down the bowl and went out. She hadn't finished the draft discussed with Yan Bo yesterday, and the ice cellar had been cleaned today, so she didn't want to delay the errand.

Just as Bai Kou walked out of the east kitchen door and walked towards Aunt Nie's cabin, she was startled by Mengmei who jumped out from behind the tree.

"What's wrong? Playing peek-a-boo with people at noon?"

"Bai Kou, please help me!"

Mengmei blocked Bai Kou's path and refused to let her go, almost begging.

Bai Kou took two steps back and looked at her carefully, and found that Mengmei's description was terrible, showing a haggard look that was not suitable for her age, and her beautiful face had lost its previous look, which was obviously caused by excessive anxiety in the past few days.

"What nonsense! Get out of my way!"

Bai Kou walked to the side, trying to bypass Mengmei.

Mengmei became anxious and reached out her hand to stop Bai Kou.

Bai Kou has practiced martial arts for the past few days, and her skills are much more flexible than Mengmei's. When she dodges, Mengmei not only blocks the space, but also loses her balance and falls to her knees on the ground.

"Bai Kou! I was wrong before! I apologize to you! Please help me, I'm kneeling down for you!"

"You kneel to the wrong person."

Bai Kou turned her toes and raised her skirt, and walked around in front of Mengmei, but she was about to leave when her skirt tightened suddenly. When she looked back, Mengmei was lying on the ground and tightly grasping the corner of her skirt.

"Let go."

"I won't let it go! Unless you give me an idea, I'll tear your skirt off!"

"You dare to threaten me when you are about to die?"

"I just want you to save me. I don't want to be buried with Wen Gushan. He must be finished when rumors spread among the servants. I'm so young and I still have a bright future."

"You think you're pulling my skirt and threatening me, and that's what I'm going to do?"

"Tear off your skirt and I'll see what face you have to serve the third young master in Wenling Courtyard! You also had a private meeting with a man at night, I just never said it!"

Bai Kou raised her eyebrows and slowly revealed a dangerous smile.

"Since you said so, that's fine. Let's go to Jicheng Hall now and explain it to the eldest lady. You can see whether she believes in you or me!"

Mengmei flinched immediately, but clenched the corner of Bai Kou's skirt even more tightly, and really pulled it down with all her strength.

"No, I'm not going to see the eldest lady, I just want your advice, otherwise I'll really tear your skirt."

"You are annoying, I don't want to waste time with you, I really don't know how your brain learned cooking before."

"A girl's fame is her life, I don't believe you don't even want her life!" Mengmei yanked Bai Kou's skirt even harder.

Bai Kou moved faster than her, and stepped heavily on her wrist with one foot, and then cooperated with her waist. This heavy step made Mengmei scream in pain, and instinctively let go.

"I told you not to think you can threaten me."

Bai Kou brushed off her skirt and strode away.
