Chapter 62
Ever since Mrs. Pei returned to the mansion, her life has been quite peaceful. It is probably because the last blind date made Mrs. Gu a little afraid, and the mother and daughter have not made a fuss for a long time.
Xiao Ruan lay leisurely on the imperial concubine's couch eating grapes, thinking about the quarterly earnings of the shop outside.
"Miss, it's time for lunch." Lian Qiao walked in with a smile, followed by Lu Hanrui. "Look, who's here."
Seeing her cousin who always loved her come suddenly, Xiao Ruan was a little pleasantly surprised, and said jokingly: "Come here in time for lunch, maybe cousin has taken a fancy to Xiao's chef's skills?"
Lu Hanrui couldn't do anything about this eccentric cousin, so he smiled and shook his head.
"You, you, laughing and laughing all day long, and you don't know how to beware of bad people. If your grandmother hadn't been thoughtful last time, I don't know how I will clean up the mess for you now."
Xiao Ruan knew that her cousin was about to start teaching again, so she hurried up and pulled him to sit down.
"Hey cousin, I know you are the best, don't worry, now Ruan'er is not so easy to get hurt."
Lu Hanrui rubbed her head affectionately. Although this girl is troublesome in everything, she is right. Ruan'er now is indeed very different from before.
"By the way, cousin, what happened to the last time I asked you?"
Xiao Ruan picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in Lu Hanrui's bowl. She remembered that her cousin's favorite food was fish.
"You mean Aunt Gu's brother of yours?"
Xiao Ruan put down her chopsticks and nodded, "That's right, it's that Gu Youcai."
After seeing Gu Youcai in Lixiangyuan that day, Xiao Ruan has been panting all the time. She was worried that the bad luck in her previous life would repeat itself, so the source of all evil must be cut off now.
"Don't worry, when did your cousin let you down in what you told him to do? I guess he will jump the wall in a few days."
Lu Hanrui replied with a smile, and at the same time sighed in his heart, after the fire, Ruan Er, this girl not only changed her temperament, but also became a lot smarter, thinking about it, if she was too careless in this big family, how would she die in the end? I don't even know.
Hearing this, Xiao Ruan bit her chopsticks and breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to her cousin by her side, in this life, she will never let anyone around her suffer any harm again!
On Mrs. Xiao's side, Mrs. Gu made a mistake, so Mrs. Xiao took her grandson over, but after only staying for a few days, she discovered Xiao Yu's faults all over her body.
Mrs. Xiao was chanting scriptures, when Mother Deng suddenly came in and asked her to take care of Brother Yu.This is strange, how many nuns can't control a nine-year-old child?
Who would have thought that after she went there, she would find out that this child is simply a devil in disguise.
Xiao Yu and a group of maids were having a good time at first, but suddenly the maids were made to kneel in a row, pissing on the head of one of the maids, and let the other lick it after peeing.
When Mrs. Xiao came, all the maids below had disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, and they were tortured by this child.
"Brother Yu! What are you doing!"
Hearing grandmother's voice, Xiao Yu trembled in fright, and ran away to hide behind the pillar.
Aunt Deng understood the wink, and went to hug brother Yu.
"Grandma, we are playing a game." Xiao Yu said angrily with his head down.
Mrs. Xiao glanced at the maidservants who were kneeling and weeping and trembling, and waved them to go back first.
"Do you usually play games like this?"
Xiao Yu nodded.
Facing Mrs. Xiao's angry eyes, Madam Deng understood, "This old servant will invite Aunt Gu."
After a while, Mrs. Gu followed Madam Deng in anxiously.
"Brother Yu! Brother Yu! Mother misses you so much."
As soon as Mrs. Gu came in, she rushed up and hugged her son without caring about asking for safety. She didn't let go of her hand until Aunt Deng coughed and signaled repeatedly.
"My concubine is rude, please forgive me, old lady."
Gu wiped her tears and fell on the ground, "It's really because I miss brother Yu so much, and the old lady also knows how it feels to be a mother..."
"Hmph, you also know that you are a mother! Why didn't you think that you were a mother when you killed Ruan'er!"
Gu shi lowered her head, thinking angrily in her heart, if the last plan hadn't failed, how could she have fallen to this point now?
"How do you teach your children? Is my Xiao family's grandson such an unreasonable and unreasonable demon king!"
Seeing that the topic was brought up to Xiao Yu, Gu looked puzzled.
Mother Deng recounted Xiao Yu's actions at the side, and Gu's face became more and more ugly when she heard it.
"Old Madam, brother Yu is still young, please forgive him just once."
The old lady waved her hand to ask Mother Deng to carry the child down. Mrs. Gu watched helplessly as her son whom she had not seen for several days disappeared before her eyes again, but she dared not say anything.
"Tell me about you. After all, you are an aunt, but how have you fulfilled your duty to the Xiao family? If you haven't seen you take care of the house well these years, do you think you can have good fruit?"
Mrs. Xiao's tone became more and more serious, and thinking of her granddaughter who lost her mother and was bullied, her heart ached.
"What happened to Ruan'er last time is for her father and Brother Yu's sake, but you can see for yourself what Brother Yu has been taught by you!"
After a few more lessons, the old lady took a sip of tea with a headache, "Forget it, brother Yu will stay with me for a little longer, and I have to train him myself."
"Yes." At this moment, no matter how unwilling Gu Shi was, he definitely did not dare to refute, so he could only bow his head and obey.In this back house, the biggest one is still Mrs. Xiao. If she wants to gain a foothold in the Xiao family, she must not be rejected by the old lady.
When Xiao Ying came to her mother's room at night, she saw Gu's face of indignation.
"Mother, what's the matter? Didn't you hear that grandma called you over this afternoon? Why are you so unhappy seeing Brother Yu?"
It's good that Xiao Ying didn't mention it, but when it was mentioned, Gu's heart was full of anger. "Your grandmother actually blamed me for not teaching Brother Yu well, and wanted to keep Brother Yu with her for a while longer. She also mentioned the girl Xiao Ruan again. Hmph, that girl must have caught my eye in front of the old lady." medicine."
Hearing Xiao Ruan's name, Xiao Ying subconsciously showed disgust.
The mother and daughter were talking about themselves here, when they suddenly heard a sound from the window, and a black shadow came in through the window.
Gu's mother and daughter were both startled, thinking that a thief had entered, and were about to scream out in fright, the black shadow immediately ran over and covered their mouths, Gu's only then saw clearly that the person who came was actually her elder brother.
Gu Youcai waited for the two of them to calm down before letting go, and panting, he turned and sat down and poured himself a glass of water.
Xiao Ying looked at this uncle with some surprise, fearing that someone would walk around and see him, so she hurriedly ran to close the door and window.
"What did you come to Xiao's house for?" Gu Shi obviously hadn't recovered from the shock, and the blood on his face hadn't returned.
Gu Youcai gasped for several breaths, waved his hands and said nothing.
After a cup of tea, Gu's mother and daughter understood the whole story.
"How did you owe so much gambling debt?"
After learning about the huge amount of money owed by her brother, Gu opened her mouth in shock. She always knew that her prodigal brother liked to gamble, but who knew that he owed so much money this time!
Gu Youcai sighed, "I don't know what's going on. At that time, I always wanted to place bets like I was caught by evil spirits. Later, I had no money to take out and had to listen to their signatures. When I woke up in the morning, my hand was already A lot of IOUs."
Xiao Ying listened from the side, feeling that the matter was very strange, but there was no clue to prove that someone did it on purpose.
"Sister, the most urgent thing now is to collect enough money to pay my brother and my debts! I dare not go out now, for fear that they will stare at me. If I don't get it together after three days, I'm afraid my brother... my life will be lost!"
Mrs. Gu frowned in embarrassment. Although she is in charge of the property in Xiao's mansion, all the valuable land deeds are in the hands of Mrs. Xiao. Although she has many shops in her hands, they are all real estate. How can I raise money in a short time?
Xiao Ying didn't like this uncle who gambled a lot for a long time, and now that something happened, she hated him even more, so she said in a bad tone: "Why didn't you think about today when you gambled? If you died, you asked for it!"
Gu Youcai's face turned ugly when he heard that, he was taught a lesson by such a little girl?
"Alright Ying'er, now is not the time to talk about this, let's think of a way." Gu patted the back of her daughter's hand reassuringly, feeling anxious.
Xiao Ying snorted coldly, and turned her head away from looking at her mother and uncle.
"What can I do?" He said as if thinking of something, "Why don't you take out all the dowry you prepared for me and pay him his gambling debts!"
Gu sighed and shook her head, "I'm afraid that taking out your dowry will not be able to pay off your uncle's gambling debt."
It's not that Mrs. Gu didn't pay back the money for Gu Youcai before, but every time it wasn't much, so he didn't say anything, but this time it's different, this time he owed too much debt.
"This...how can this be done, sister, you must not just ignore death!"
Gu Youcai almost cried when he heard that, if he couldn't even save his sister, he might have to die.
"Mother, grandma...isn't there a land deed?"
Xiao Ying's eyes flashed, and her face showed joy. It was the dowry of Xiao Ruan's biological mother. If it was gone, Xiao Ruan, a bitch, would be very sad!
It's not that Mrs. Gu has never thought about those land deeds. Those lands are among the best geomantic lands in the whole city. As long as you have one, you don't have to worry about it.
but……
"At your grandmother's, what can I do?"
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and they both caught the same idea in each other's eyes.
Immediately, Mrs. Gu smiled, without worrying about it just now, "Okay, I will find a way about the money. You can go now, so as not to be found out. When the money is enough, I will let people Here it is for you."
This is what Gu Youcai wanted. As for where the money came from, he didn't care.Hearing what Gu said, she nodded hurriedly, and then slipped away quietly in the dark.
When they left, Xiao Ying showed excitement on her face, she took Gu's arm and said, "Mother, this is really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. At that time, let's see how Xiao Ruan will cry without her mother's dowry."
Mrs. Gu took a sip of her tea and shook her head with a smile, "It's killing three birds with one stone. Then we can put the blame on Mrs. Pei. Isn't that stupid woman often dissatisfied with the fact that Xiao Ruan is in charge of the dowry herself? So stupid, why don't you help me?" It is appropriate to take the blame."
Xiao Ying looked at her mother, and really felt that she was still too young, and her mother was more considerate than her in some schemes.
