pampering wife

Chapter 123

"Is she not bad? Miss Xin, can you do anything to harm your cousin?" Chu Hongxiu raised her eyebrows with a contemptuous smile.Wei Xin bit a pastry, but did not refute, just sighed.

Before Qingmei came up, she had already looked through today's account book, and after a rough calculation, there were actually a hundred taels!She was overjoyed and arranged for the hired workers to manage the tavern. She planned to invite Chu Hongxiu and Wei Xin to the restaurant opposite to have dinner and express her gratitude-the guests in the private room could not be greeted today, but Chu Hongxiu and Wei Xin could help a lot busy.

The three of them went down the stairs, talking and laughing, but they heard Lu Zhu in the lobby greet him in surprise: "Miss, you..." Maybe they wanted to say "Why are you here", but they realized something was wrong and quickly shut up, subconsciously looking at Ome.

Qingmei was also surprised.The guests in the tavern were almost dispersed at the moment, and the two people standing at the door were more and more visible, Gu Changqing, who was tall and tall, and Gu Ronghua, who had a gloomy face.

With Gu Changqing present, Qingmei naturally couldn't be ignored, so she went up to her and called "Big Brother", Gu Changqing smiled and handed a brocade box to Lu Zhu, "Come here now when I'm free, congratulations on the opening of your tavern." Qing Mei knew that he was sincere, she quickly thanked him, and asked someone to pour wine over and offer it, it was a lucky draw.

Gu Ronghua stood behind for a while, looking at Qingmei with cold eyes, she looked at Chu Hongxiu and Wei Xin who stopped on the stairs in surprise, and sneered, "It's all here." Qingmei didn't answer, a little hesitant.Ordinarily, the visitor is a guest, since Gu Changqing came to congratulate her, she should naturally welcome her warmly, let alone her cousin and cousin, but with Gu Ronghua's attitude... She really can't be enthusiastic.

On this side she hadn't made up her mind yet, and Chu Hongxiu came down from behind Shi Shiran, "Miss Gu, you are a rare visitor. Go up and have a drink?" With the intention of protecting Qingmei, she made her attitude clear.

Gu Ronghua has been haggard a lot recently, and even her whole body looks a little sluggish. She glanced at Chu Hongxiu, and said with a sneer, "Miss Chu, is she taking the lead? If I remember correctly, this is the tavern run by Qu Qingmei."

Qingmei took over the conversation, "Today I specially asked Sister Chu to help me receive visitors, as it should be." The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she turned her attention to Gu Changqing.Gu Changqing is indeed a good and considerate elder brother, and said at the right time: "Ronghua and I came here not only to congratulate, but also to invite you back home."

He was indeed an invitation, but Gu Ronghua's face was so stinky, Qingmei just wanted to decline, Gu Changqing said: "Mother is sick in bed recently, and I really want to talk to you, and father, he also wants to see meet you."

Can Gu Shangshu and his wife invite her to something good?Qingmei can naturally guess the general idea, but since it was Gu Changqing's invitation, she naturally couldn't refuse, so she wondered: "Big brother, I have guests tonight, can I go to the house tomorrow?"

Chu Hongxiu had already walked to Qingmei's side at this moment, she patted Qingmei's shoulder, "Don't worry about me and Miss Xin, let's settle the matter over there first." But I also hope that Qingmei can draw a clear relationship with Mrs. Gu's mother and daughter as soon as possible-seeing Gu Ronghua's attitude is annoying, Chu Hongxiu is even a little thankful that Qingmei rejected the marriage, otherwise she would have successfully formed the Qin family, and she would have to deal with the mother and mother. Girl, it's really tiring.

Qingmei turned her head to look at Wei Xin, and heard her say, "I'm fine too."

Even so, Qingmei didn't force her to stay, she smiled and said: "Thank you in another day." Today is a very special day for her, and maybe it is also a good time to settle some old things.

She sent Chu Hongxiu and Wei Xin out, told Xu Shi and Lu Zhu a few words, and then went out with Gu Changqing and his siblings.There was a carriage at the entrance of the alley, and three brothers and sisters were sitting in it, Gu Ronghua kept silent, Qingmei suddenly remembered something, and asked Gu Changqing, "Big brother, I heard from Luzhu that she is not a child of the Gu family?"

"Green Pearl was sold by my father in the early years. Both parents are farmers, and their family background is fairly clean."

"Then..." She was a little nervous, "I want to redeem her, is that okay?" Since he is not a slave, he only has a business contract relationship with Gu's family. Word-of-mouth should not bite people.

Sure enough, Gu Changqing said: "What's the matter, if Luzhu wants to go out, there is no need to redeem her body, I will transfer it to you." Qingmei shook her head and said: "After all, I bought it back then, I should earnestly redeem her body, Luzhu Don't worry too." She was worried that Gu Ronghua would take the opportunity to make things difficult, but seeing that she didn't make a sound, she felt relieved.This matter was done early to avoid accidents, so he told Gu Changqing that he wanted to do it as soon as possible.

Gu Changqing readily agreed, "Tomorrow I will send someone to bring the contract of sale." Although Mrs. Gu is in charge of the people in the inner courtyard of the Gu mansion, Gu Changqing is still sure about this trivial matter. Since he agreed, Qingmei is naturally at ease.

When we arrived at Degu's mansion, the sun was setting and the ground was covered with remnant red.Qingmei followed Gu Changqing's brother and sister to Mrs. Gu's Liufang Hall, and saw the silence of the people in the courtyard, the servants who came and went held their breaths, and the room was also very quiet.Qingmei followed to the inner room, and saw Mrs. Gu lying on the bed looking haggard and dilapidated, with a medicine bowl on the small table half a person's height beside her.

When she saw Qingmei walking in, she asked Hongxiang to help her up and lean on the soft pillow, and said in a tired voice, "You're here."
