The old matriarch looked at Gu Xuan fainted on the ground, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
She watched Gu Xuan grow up, even if she didn't favor her, she still had two feelings, but they were restrained and never showed it, and compared to Gu Xiren who was cold and indifferent and didn't like to get close to others, she was always well-behaved The gentle Gu Xuan is much more pleasing, so her feelings are complicated, hated, disappointed, and sad.
After all, there is still half the possibility that Gu Xuan is her own granddaughter. She will not completely deny it like Gu Da did. She would even think that if she hadn't looked at this girl's silent survival and struggle at home so coldly in the early years, it would be true for her. If she were more pleasant and caring, would she still do these things
if after all it can only be if
The old matriarch sighed deeply, turned her face away, stopped looking at Gu Xuan, and only ordered lightly: "Please ask Doctor Ji to treat her injuries, and when she wakes up, take her to the woodshed and give her food and drink. Just don't let her out."
Gu Da was not very satisfied with this punishment, and he waited to say more, but was pinched by the old matriarch: "Do as I say, and let the maids be more careful, don't teach her to commit suicide, what else is she going to do?" matter, I only ask you"
In one sentence, he choked back all that Gu Da wanted to say.
Gu Xihe was also a little puzzled: "Taijun, punishing her like this is much lighter than punishing the second brother."
The old lady looked at him, said nothing, just sighed.
What happened to these two children is completely incomparable, what's more, Gu Xiren is the male of the family, and the reason for the murder he stated is selfish. If there is a suspicion of seizing the property, she will be more responsible, while Gu Xuan is only eager to avenge her mother. Even if this enmity is mostly caused by her own misunderstanding, it is still justifiable, and besides, Gu Xuan can't die at this moment, if she dies, the situation will become more difficult to deal with.
The old matriarch was silent for a moment before speaking again: "I think Xiaoxuan is about to get married, so I will look back and see if there is any suitable family, let's marry her."
As long as she doesn't stay at home and become a disaster, she doesn't want to kill them all.
Hearing this, Shu Huan involuntarily twitched the corners of his mouth. Although he didn't say anything, Gu Xiran caught his eye.
Gu Da was very unhappy: "She has done such an inhumane thing, and she still wants to find a marriage for her, and marry her with a dowry?"
The old lady knew that her son had lived such an old age, and sometimes he couldn't handle business matters completely independently, so he didn't expect him to figure it out, so he just dropped two words and asked someone to carry her back to Songhe Hall.
The two words she said were: "Bring blame"
Marrying the evil out, isn't it setting the blame
Shu Huan suddenly felt a chill running up his spine, this old lady is really shrewd
On the way back to Shengmei Pavilion, Gu Xiran asked her why she had such a strange expression just now.
Shu Huan couldn't help but twitched his lips again, but this time he wanted to laugh: "I still remember seeing a sentence on the Internet before, when you have a son, if you don't teach him well, he will kill your whole family. Daughter, if you don’t teach her well, you will harm other people’s families, so whoever you have a grudge against, you will spoil your daughter, marry his son, his whole family will be ruined, and the big revenge will be avenged. Look at the old lady , isn't she well versed in this?"
When she mentioned it, Gu Xiran remembered that he had seen this before, so he shook his head and laughed. Thinking about it later, it is precisely this way that the old lady punished Gu Xiren extremely severely, even to the point of beating him to death, because she was afraid that he would harm the whole family in the future, and when she punished Gu Xuan who was about to marry off, she obviously showed mercy The word "blaming" at the end revealed the intention even more.
He turned his head to look at Gu Da who was already so far away that his figure was blurred, and he felt vigilant in his heart. In this family, Gu Da was only the head of the family in name. In fact, the old lady has always been the head of the house, and has never changed.
After returning to Mei Pavilion, Shu Huan's tense emotions relaxed. He put everything behind him and sat down to rest his leg that was almost broken after standing for a long time. He gave Gu Xiran a rather depressed look: "It's not fair, The same is to say hello, why you can sit when the old lady is there, but I have to stand?"
Gu Xiran smiled: "Who told you to dress so badly that you want to wear it in this place that favors boys over girls?"
Shu Huan was speechless by what he said, and he could only blame himself for being unlucky, so he picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Before the cup was put down, Jingjing replied, "Dye ink is here."
When Ran Mo came over, he was naturally talking about the shop. In just half a day, he had already found four or five suitable shops and hurried over to report.
Gu Xiran and Shu Huan estimated that they didn't have a lot of gold on hand, and what they could use together was only twenty taels, and Zhang Hanfang's two hundred taels of silver notes, which were only enough to buy a shop in a slightly remote location. In the future, it will not be easy to rely on this shop to earn money for food, drink and clothing.
Shu Huan mused: "Otherwise, I would just pawn those jewelry, it's useless to keep it anyway."
She was talking about the jewelry that Zhang Hanfang lost.
Hearing this, Ran Mo hurriedly said, "Second Grandma wants to be jewelry? That's not worth it, even if it's deadly pawning, it may not be worth half of the jewelry's value."
"Then what do you say?"
"If it's small, it's better to find a way to sell it. Even if you can't sell it at the original price, it's better than becoming a pawn." Ran Mo smiled and said: "There is a jewelry shop on the east side of the street. The shopkeeper has been in business with our family for more than ten years. The younger one still has some friendship with him, if Second Mistress really needed money urgently, she would ask him for an estimate of the price of the jewelry, he is always embarrassed to take advantage of us."
Shu Huan nodded, got up and went to the jewelry box, picked out a few pieces of jade jewelry and kept them, and let Ranmo sell the rest. After all, gold is valuable and jade is priceless, so she doesn't plan to sell it cheap .
Ranmo was a little surprised when she saw her coming directly with the jewelry box in her hands, she lowered her head and said anxiously: "Second Grandma... this... you'd better leave it to Jingjing, please let her run with me."
"Why, you have done several things for me, how can I still not trust you?" Shu Huan said and stuffed the box into his arms: "The jewelry here is estimated to be worth five or six hundred taels Silver, counting other money, there is one thousand taels of silver, I want to buy two shops, and I can buy the best and worst locations from the ones you picked, the money should be enough?"
"Enough is enough..." Ran Mo was still hesitating while holding the jewelry box.
Gu Xiran and Shu Huan have the same thoughts on this point, and they have been secretly paying attention to Ran Mo for a long time, knowing that this is a trustworthy person, so they smiled and said: "Go, sign the contract." When the deed comes back, just leave it to your second grandma to keep it."
Ran Mo agreed to go out.
Before Shu Huan could breathe a sigh of relief, Liang Chen came in again and replied, "Second Master, Second Mistress, the Fang family is making a fuss at the old matriarch's place."
People from the Fang family
Shu Huan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it should be Fang's natal family, which seemed to be rich and powerful. If she knew that her daughter had not only had a miscarriage but also gone crazy, she would not give up easily.
She and Gu Xiran looked at each other, both showing wry smiles.
This idea is a mess, is it over yet
