sturdy landlady

Chapter 29 Not Yours
People from the other three major government houses were all shocked when they heard that the Dingguo government gave out 60 taels of silver. Now, then our Jingguo Mansion will not get involved in this matter."

"I haven't congratulated Brother Gu on inheriting the title and the title of General of the Northwest. Let's have a drink sometime!" The head of the Jun family also gave up the bid.

"You two dear brothers, don't forget the little brother." The people from Ruiguo's mansion also spoke, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Seeing that the other three major national governments have given up and shown favor to him, Gu Weide also heaved a sigh of relief.

When the Dafeng Dynasty was founded, there were eight princes, and now there are only four of them left. Everyone is usually in the same spirit, and it will not be too hurtful. He is naturally happy when everyone gives him this face. It proves that these people recognized his position as the Duke of the country.

"Thank you, Madam, thank you two dear friends, Wade will definitely come to the door to thank you personally." Gu Weide said hastily.

When He Rufeng downstairs heard this, he planned to ring the gong in front of him and give the Suzaku fruit to the Gu family. 60 taels of silver was already a high price, and their He family could get a lot too. commission.

Just when he picked up the hammer to beat the gong, a woman's childish voice suddenly came from the most remote private room on the second floor.

"62 taels!"

Gu Xiaoxiao made a bid. She didn't get involved before, and it wasn't her turn to get involved, but now that the end is coming to an end, she has to make a bid.

To be honest, she didn't expect that the Gu family could still come up with 60 taels of silver. It seems that these people deliberately cried poor in front of her and her mother before, what a shame!
What she didn't know was that the people of the Gu family had put together the 60 taels of silver, and they were at the end of their rope!

"It seems that no one has increased the price. We should buy this Suzaku fruit. It's just a small one. I'm worried that they will jump over the wall in a hurry and become angry and hurt your life." Ye looked at her daughter and said worriedly.

Of course she hoped that her daughter would get the Suzaku fruit, so that the future of their mother and daughter would be guaranteed, but... what if the Gu family was killed?
"Mother, don't worry, there are rumors in Beijing, saying that the second uncle...killed the father, the second uncle didn't dare to act rashly, so he inherited the position of Duke, and his position in the court is unstable. He has not yet gone to the northwest to formally take over the Northwest Army. He doesn't dare to do anything to us, otherwise... he will be stabbed in the back, and... the Northwest Army will not obey him. As you said, there are many generals in the Northwest Army who are loyal to their father. I can't accept it. I'm secretly looking for the murderer. The second uncle must be targeted by them now. He doesn't dare to act rashly. If he wants to secure his position as the Duke of the country and take over the Northwest Army, he won't kill us for the time being. Wait until I If you have full wings, you won't be afraid of them." Gu Xiaoxiao said softly, holding her mother's hand.

"Xiao Xiao... Tell me, was it really your second uncle who killed your father?" Mrs. Ye looked at her daughter and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but I don't believe that my father died suddenly. I will definitely investigate and find out!" Gu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.

"Yeah!" Mrs. Ye nodded lightly. If someone from the Gu family really did it, she would try her best to avenge her husband.

When Gu Xiaoxiao bid, she deliberately changed her voice, but the Gu family knew her very well, especially Gu Liyan, she immediately recognized that it was Gu Xiaoxiao's voice.

"It's that little bitch Gu Lisheng, it's her... she bid 62 taels of silver, how dare she? And... where did she get so much money?" Gu Li was trembling with smoke.

The faces of the Gu family members are all very ugly!

"It seems that the old lady doted on the elders too much in the past. I didn't expect them to pay so much money." The old lady's face was very gloomy.

"That's not what the eldest brother left for them. Speaking of which, there is no male in the big house to inherit the family business. These should be confiscated and should belong to the entire Gu family, including the Suzaku fruit that I bought. Everything depends on the mother!" Gu Weide Said in a low voice.

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and then she took Gu Liyan's hand and said with a smile: "You are the future princess, in order to make you worthy of the crown prince, we have to buy you this Suzaku fruit for you at any time, and promote you." Your strength, in fact... We bought it the same as Gu Lisheng bought it, and after the Suzaku fruit is delivered to their private room, we will rush in and grab it for you."

After hearing this, Gu Liyan immediately smiled, yes, even if that bitch Gu Xiaoxiao can buy Suzaku fruit, so what?At that time, don't you have to obediently offer it to her?
Gu Liyan was very happy in her heart, and nodded with a smile.

"Are there any other guests who want to bid?" He Rufeng was also taken aback. He didn't expect that this was the case, and there were still people fighting against the Gu family, and they didn't continue to bid. The Gu family lost their voices, so he had to ask again.

"Then this Suzaku fruit will belong to the distinguished guest of Tianzi No. [-] Private Room!" Seeing that no one said anything, He Rufeng smiled and beat the gongs and drums, and immediately delivered the Suzaku Fruit to the door of the private room where Gu Xiaoxiao was.

"Your honored guest, I have brought you the Suzaku fruit!" He Rufeng didn't know who was inside, so he knocked on the door lightly.

"Second Master, please come in!" Gu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, and when He Rufeng came in, he immediately presented the silver ticket.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, after He Rufeng received the banknote, he gave Gu Xiaoxiao the jade box containing the Suzaku fruit.

The He family has a very good reputation, so Gu Xiaoxiao wasn't worried that there was nothing inside. After she reached out to take it and opened it, she saw a Suzaku fruit lying quietly inside.

She is a martial artist, and she immediately felt the spiritual power surging out of the Suzaku fruit. In order to prevent the spiritual energy from collapsing, she immediately took out the fruit and tried to bite open to take the core.

At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the Gu family stood at the door aggressively.

"Mr. Dingguo, is this?" He Rufeng hadn't gone out yet. When he saw that the Gu family was about to break into this private room, his face suddenly changed. He took two steps forward, cupped his fists and said, "My He family's rules , Lord Dingguo knows, before our distinguished guests leave the private room, they are protected by my He family, and others are not allowed to step in without permission."

"Of course the Duke knows the rules of the He family, and we have no intention of going in." Gu Weide also didn't want to offend the He family, because he broke the rules they had maintained for hundreds of years. The one who supports him is the emperor, he can't do this.

"Then I don't know what the Duke and the old lady are doing?" He Rufeng asked with a smile, since he didn't intend to make trouble, he didn't need to call for guards for the time being, and... even if there was a conflict, he was enough to deal with it.

"Gu Lisheng, hand over the Suzaku fruit. It's not something you can get your hands on. If you give it obediently, you will be a hero of my Gu family. Grandma can forget everything you have done before!" Gu Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter said in a deep voice.
