As Gong Zhuoliang's current magistrate's eldest daughter-in-law, going back to her natal home to congratulate Mrs. Gong's birthday in person is undoubtedly a great face to the Gong family, especially her congratulatory gift also includes a congratulatory message written by Qiao Yingze from the perspective of a son-in-law. In the eyes of the palace family, spiritual food is naturally more elegant than gold and silver vulgar objects, making Mrs. Gong feel that her style has been upgraded to a higher level. From Gong Zhuoliang's point of view, the value of those golden Buddhas and jade Buddhas is worth the value of those golden Buddhas and jade Buddhas written by her little husband. This deal is also very cost-effective.
Mrs. Gong released the news early on, so some people who didn't want to make friends with merchants like the Gong family found more or less reasons to congratulate them. Of course, some people still disdain to come. Even so, Mrs. Gong also counted the most grand and decent birthday in her life, and took the opportunity to negotiate a big deal with the relationship of Qiao's family. Therefore, even in private, she became intimate with the bastard she detested the most. , looking at him is like looking at people piled up with gold, jade and precious stones.
"Taking this opportunity to come back this time, besides wanting to meet my mother in person, there is one more important thing to tell you."
However, Gong Zhuoliang didn't even bother to give Mrs. Gong a perfunctory, and after retreating from the servants, he sat down on the main seat, and then straight to the point.
"What's the matter?"
Putting her hot face against someone's cold back, Mrs. Gong lowered her face in dissatisfaction, but for Gong Zhuoliang's arrogance, she did not show any anger other than slander.
Huge benefits can be gained in exchange for lowering your posture. This tent lady is very good at calculating, how can there be any reason to push money out
"A while ago, a woman in charge of my mother-in-law took a fancy to Ruo Lan. If she wanted her to be his son's main wife, she asked her to come to my mother-in-law. You know that my mother-in-law doesn't like me. Of course I can't refuse, but if Lan's deed of selling his life is still with you. When asked about it, he was not suspected of being suspected. Later, he hesitated to go to the hot spring village to recuperate through his husband, but when he returned for the New Year, he had to give him an explanation... "
Gong Zhuoliang poured out a bitter meal angrily, as if he had really been frightened, he secretly observed Mrs. Gong's reaction with his eyes.
"And Ruozi is also a careless person. My husband doesn't like her character and wants to let her go out to match anyone else. I know you can't worry about her without her. It took so much effort to keep her. It's just that this person can stay. Once, you may not be able to keep it for the second time, so you have to give me her deed of selling herself, and then I will be able to deal with it."
"This... Why didn't Ruozi mention it at all?"
Mrs. Gong was not stupid, when she heard that Gong Zhuoliang was talking about the contract of prostitution of the two girls, she immediately became vigilant, but she still had a mischievous smile on her face.
"Her? Apart from fighting with the older maid and bullying the younger maid, what else does she know about business? She dared to seduce the aunt and master on the second day of the wedding, and none of the maids in my yard looked down on her. How embarrassing I am!"
Gong Zhuoliang sneered disdainfully, and looked at Mrs. Gong with contempt, as if saying that this is the good girl you taught.
"Where is the reason that the husband's family surpasses the new daughter-in-law and randomly matches the dowry girl of the mother's family? You need to nod to do it, and you stop it."
Mrs. Gong was blocked again, her good mood just now was gone, and her tone became bad.
"Can I not nod? Ruozi has been gossiping with you for the past two days. You don't know how I live in Qiao's house! Dare I say no to my mother-in-law?"
Gong Zhuoliang sneered angrily, he did treat Mrs. Gong as a trash can as he talked, and he couldn't tell his little husband-in-law or complain to Ruo Lan about the grievance he suffered at Qiao's house. All vented on the tigress.
"This... Now that the matter of Ruo Lan is settled, I can naturally give you her contract of selling herself, but Ruo Zi is still useful, and if you really can't keep it, you can bring two more maids from your mother's house on the grounds that you don't have considerate maids."
Regarding Gong Zhuoliang's situation, Mrs. Gong has no doubts. Ruozi has exaggerated the rules of Qiao's family, and she only saw Gong Zhuoliang's angry side. As for the interaction between Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze, the door was closed. It was known to others, and Ruozi had suffered setbacks in front of Qiao Yingze, so for the sake of her own face, she naturally called him a hot-tempered official young master, so Mrs. Gong also took it for granted that Gong Zhuoliang was unhappy in front of him.
"What will it look like? I don't know if I'm angry at my husband's house. Do I still have to send a girl from my mother's house to use... Ruolan I can't keep it. Ruozi is useful if I keep it, but letting it out is a curse. Why did you pick such a careless one, and then find a more reliable one to prepare, and if it doesn't work, send it in."
One Ruozi worried so much if she wanted to take it away, let alone change two more. Gong Zhuoliang snorted impatiently, and scolded Mrs. Gong, mainly to hint her, don't just think that Ruo Zi is useful, but also prevent her from biting the master.
"I see."
Mrs. Gong agreed shyly, and there was nothing else to say to Gong Zhuoliang, so she got up and went to get Ruolan's deed of sale to Gong Zhuoliang. Zhuo Liang wanted to see his biological mother, so she also sent someone to see Aunt Wu.
"Madam, Madam, please save Ruo Lan, the wife of the Qiao family wants to marry Ruo Lan to a fool, Madam, please save Ruo Lan."
Ruo Lan, who was waiting at the door, heard the sound of opening the door, quickly tapped the corners of her eyes with the chili water stained in her sleeve, then knelt down in front of Mrs. Gong sobbing.
"Is there such a thing? Ruolan, you have arrived at Qiao's house now, and Madam can't help you even if she wants to, but you have been with Madam for so many years, and Madam is also reluctant to part with you... You take this, and you can take care of yourself in the future."
Mrs. Gong condescendingly looked down at the girl who had served her for many years, and her doubts about Gong Zhuoliang faded a lot. She looked at her left hand and then at her right hand, and finally picked out the thinnest gold bracelets and took down a pair for them. After leaving her, he took his servants and left without looking back.
"... ma'am!"
Ruolan called out sadly behind Madam Gong a few times, but she didn't see her turn her head. Although Ruolan knew her cruelty and coldness a long time ago, but after experiencing it personally today, she still felt completely cold in her heart. Holding the bracelet in his hand, he smiled mockingly, straightened his back, turned and entered the room.
"Ruolan, your matter is settled, how was the performance outside just now?"
Gong Zhuoliang was waiting in the room, when he saw Ruo Lan came in, he handed her the soaked handkerchief to wipe her eyes.
"Well, madam already believed it eighty percent, but the slaves didn't act this way, and madam has already given you the deed of sale."
Ruo Lan stopped crying, and threw the thin bracelet given by Mrs. Gong on the table in disgust.
"Yes, I will. I am afraid that she will be suspicious and unwilling to send someone to find out the news. If she is distracted, she will be less dangerous."
Gong Zhuoliang picked up the pair of bracelets and looked at them, then stuffed them back into Ruolan's hands.
"The tears are shed for nothing. This thing is worth some money. It would be nice to keep it as a private house."
"Madam won't take my business seriously, what about Ruo Zi?"
After hearing what Gong Zhuoliang said, Ruo Lan put away the pair of bracelets, thinking in her heart to keep the pair of bracelets as a proof, and she would have nothing to do with the Gong family in the future.
"If Ruozi didn't give me her tigress, it seems that I can only make the next scene bigger, and she will jump out and end it by herself."
Gong Zhuoliang sat leisurely in the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face. He originally wanted to get Ruozi's deed of prostitution, but he used the excuse her father came to find to get rid of it, and he could still get a good name. This time If the tigress doesn't let go, he will have to make his tricks bigger and force the tigress to finish.
As for her plan to add minions to her, it was purely a dream!
"...Miss is kind-hearted, otherwise why bother if you want a girl to disappear?"
Ruo Lan was silent for a while, then showed a smile, and looked at Gong Zhuoliang's face with tenderness and admiration.
No matter how hateful Madam Gong and Ruo Zi are, the young master didn't really use any vicious methods, he was just doing his best to save himself.
"You can't kill people casually."
Gong Zhuoliang was also a little embarrassed to be praised so much by the little girl. He is also a modern person with a higher education. How can he despise human life like the privileged class in ancient feudal times? If he doesn't like it, he will be killed. up.
But Gong Zhuoliang is not as noble as Ruo Lan thinks, he just doesn't want to be a villain himself, his way is to send all the troubles away, in the future Gong Zhuoliang won't bother with them whether they live or die.
Speaking of this, the maid who gave Gong Zhuoliang the deed of sale came and knocked on the door. Ruo Lan couldn't help but squeeze the paper tightly after taking the paper, but then she calmed down and handed it to Gong Zhuoliang, while Gong Zhuoliang It was after the maid left that she smiled lightly, and burned the deed of prostitution to ashes in front of Ruo Lan.
"Miss!"
Although she had hoped that Gong Zhuoliang would have the possibility to do this, but seeing her own freedom with her own eyes, she couldn't help but kneel down to Gong Zhuoliang excitedly.
"Sister Ruolan, I have worked hard for you all this time."
Gong Zhuoliang helped Ruo Lan up with a smile, said a few gentle words of comfort, and asked her to wait outside on the grounds that Aunt Wu would come over soon. After watching Ruolan leave the door, Gong Zhuoliang's expression slowly turned cold.
In fact, he had already released the news in Qiao's house. At first, he only vaguely said that there was a woman who wanted Ruo Lan as a wife, but after passing through the mouths of those eight women in the inner house, they naturally changed, so Gong Zhuoliang was not afraid of Mrs. Gong's inquiries. .
Besides, Mrs. Gong mistrusted the servant of Qiao's family at the beginning and let him marry on behalf of him to cause all these troubles. Remembering Madam Gong's kindness to her, that's all she wanted to completely cut off Ruo Lan's feelings for Madam Gong.
As for burning the deed of sale later, it was Gong Zhuoliang's sincerity. He was really grateful for Ruo Lan's care and maintenance over the years. Moreover, loyalty cannot be obtained with a contract, and the protection power of true feelings is the highest.
"It's still comfortable to stay with the young man, and don't have to think about these messy things."
Gong Zhuoliang propped himself on the table and looked up at the sky boredly. Rather than intrigue with these women, he prefers to guess Qiao Yingze's petty thoughts.
Gong Zhuoliang was thinking about Qiao Yingze's recovery, whether he should take him to soak in the hot spring at night, and then kiss or something, when there was a knock on the door, Gong Zhuoliang hurriedly stood up and straightened his clothes. He opened his mouth and said please come in, and saw Aunt Wu staggered and trotted in with the support of a little girl, but she stood a dozen steps in front of Gong Zhuoliang and hesitated again, looking at Gong Zhuoliang with a sad look Sadness is complicated.
"mother."
Gong Zhuoliang looked at the little girl, and remembered that she was an orphan adopted by his Aunt Wu. She was a servant girl in name, but she had never signed a contract of sale, and Aunt Wu used her own money to subsidize her food and clothing. According to Aunt Wu, she is also one of the insiders of this incident.
For the biological mother of this body, Gong Zhuoliang still felt a little close in his heart. Seeing that she was a bit ashamed and did not dare to approach her, Gong Zhuoliang took the initiative to walk over and hug her, thinking that he didn't know how long it would be until we saw each other again. , Let her have some good memories is also a comfort.
"Good... good... my son..."
Aunt Wu, who fell into her son's arms, wept softly with mixed sorrow and joy, and slowly hugged Gong Zhuoliang tightly, but she still remembered to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, and did not wet Gong Zhuoliang's clothes at all.
"Mother, my son is very good. Really, my son is doing very well now. Look, my son has grown taller."
Aunt Wu's embrace was very warm, and her thoughtfulness and meticulousness made Gong Zhuoliang feel at ease, so he patted her on the back and coaxed her a few times, until Aunt Wu cried enough to hold back her tears, and then helped her to sit on the couch together, I chatted a few words about my current life, of course I didn't tell the truth, but it was better than the version given to Mrs. Gong.
"That's right, my Liang'er will be thirteen after Chinese New Year...and the age to change her voice."
Aunt Wu took Gong Zhuoliang's hand and looked at him carefully, seeing that he had indeed grown fat, and his complexion looked good, she finally smiled in relief, but then reminded him again.
"Voice Changer?"
The word "voice change" floated by his ears, and Gong Zhuoliang who reacted was stunned, only to realize that he had completely forgotten about this thing, remembering that in his previous life, he also had a voice change period that started when he was thirteen years old. In two months, it was almost like a rooster's voice, and he was upset when he heard it!
The little girl's voice is all shrill and thin, and she pretends not to be like it even if she wants to!
Imagine yourself wearing women's clothing and opening your mouth to make a gentleman's voice... Gong Zhuoliang was terrified, how can I live this day
