873, need!
The carriage did not go back directly to Shangshufu, but detoured to Haolan Academy at Gu Qianxue's request.
However, Haolan Academy has closed its doors. Just like Wuming Residence, Haolan Academy has undergone renovations. The towering Lingxiao Pavilion before has been completely demolished, leaving only a bland building.
Chu Yan was devastated, and Gu Qianxue was not much better.
"Princess, where are we going next?" Yao Zhen, who was driving outside the car, asked.
Gu Qianxue thought for a while, "Haolan Nursery."
"Yes, princess." After receiving the order, the carriage immediately drove to another location.
After a stick of incense, we arrived at Haolan Nursery.
Fortunately, the nursery school is still there.
However, the word "Haolan" has been removed from the signboard, and there are only three words "nursery".
Standing under the plaque, Gu Qianxue was so angry that she almost fainted when she saw the space where the word "Haolan" was originally.
"Fucking mentally handicapped Mr. Su, you usually look smart, but why do you get into a corner when you encounter a serious matter! If you are not in good health, you won't get married? Will I not become a widow if I marry someone? Maybe the person I married choked to death when he drank water ?” While cursing, he jumped in anger.
"..." Everyone.
For fear of disturbing the children, and because she couldn't put on a friendly face to deal with the enthusiastic children at this moment, Gu Qianxue did not enter in person, but sent someone to look for Pan Xiaopeng...if he was still there.
Pan Xiaopeng is a native of Nanyue country, and his family and mother are also in Nanyue country. If Pan Xiaopeng also leaves with Su Lingxiao, then she really has no choice.
Not long after, Pan Xiaopeng was called out.
When Pan Xiaopeng saw Gu Qianxue wearing a veil, he almost burst into tears, "Princess, you are back, young master, he... hey..."
"What about him?" Qian Xue asked anxiously.
Pan Xiaopeng said, "I don't know exactly what happened. It was more than a month ago. I was busy. Suddenly someone came and told me that Haolan Academy was going to be closed. I thought that person was joking, and then I knew ... It’s really not a joke! When I rushed over, the academy had been closed and was being remodeled, and several managers had left the capital without a trace. I found a few former colleagues, and they took a severance package, but do not know anything."
"Then let me ask you, how does Haolan Nursery support you?" Qianxue asked.
Pan Xiaopeng hurriedly explained, "It's like this. Before your princess and young master left the city, shopkeeper Su handed me five thousand taels of silver. I dare not accept so much money, but shopkeeper Su insisted that I take it." , and said that if you don’t have enough money in the future, you can just ask Miss Chuyan for it.”
"..." Everyone was shocked.
Gu Qianxue also suddenly realized, and clenched her fists angrily, "It turned out that there was a premeditated plan, Su Lingxiao, you are courting death!"
Five thousand taels of silver is enough to support the nursery for several months, and Chuyan was given the money by Su Lingxiao in advance, that is to say, Su Lingxiao originally planned to leave.
Qianxue was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, "Chuyan, if I find Mr. Su, I will beat him up. Will you stop me?"
Chu Yan bowed her head and remained silent, not because she agreed with Gu Qianxue, but because she knew that if the master wanted to hide, no one would be able to find him.
Master... why are you so overwhelmed? Why are you so cruel
Chu Yan didn't speak, Gu Qianxue just took it as her agreement, "Then Pan Xiaopeng, is five thousand taels of silver enough?" Pan Xiaopeng didn't fill his own pockets, and his loyalty surprised her.
Pan Xiaopeng said, "Now there are... five hundred taels of silver." With guilt in his voice, "Originally, there was a steady stream of money for the nursery, so I didn't think about saving it until Haolan Academy was closed and the young master left. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, I only had 1,000 taels left at that time. After that, I tried my best to save. I didn’t buy what I could not buy, and I never replaced what I could repair. I used what I could for a month. Five hundred taels of silver, only the last five hundred taels are left."
Gu Qianxue nodded, and then asked Xiang Chuyan, "Chuyan, tell me honestly, how much money do you have?"
Chu Yan sighed, raised her head, "To tell you the truth, there are two thousand taels left."
"..." Gu Qianxue.
That's right, when the price of goods in Guandong City soared, they had to spend a lot of money every day. It was money to buy yards and meals, including the five million taels of silver they lent later.
Gu Qianxue thinks that she is not a wasteful person, but when did she start doing this? Thinking about it, it was after Mr. Su appeared.
Qianxue raised her head, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and muttered, "This man is too ruthless. He first cultivated the prodigal nature of women, and then patted his ass and left, leaving women to suffer alone." Just rant.
Until now, Gu Qianxue has not realized the seriousness of the problem, and naively thought that as long as she finds Su Lingxiao, she can speak up.
Several years later, when Gu Qianxue recalled this scene, she realized how naive and ridiculous she was.
Pan Xiaopeng hesitated to speak, his face was ugly.
"Anything else?" Gu Qianxue asked.
Pan Xiaopeng sighed deeply, "Hey, don't mention the princess, since our nursery was established, we have accepted a large number of orphans and vagrants. Of the homeless children we took in in the capital, we took in more than 200 more children, which is also the reason for the large loss of funds. After all, we have to arrange accommodation for the new children, make clothes, and find a doctor to diagnose them. There is an infectious disease, hey... Thanks to the princess, you are back, otherwise, in a few days, the money will be spent, and I really don't know what to do."
Seeing Pan Xiaopeng with a sad face, Gu Qianxue was taken aback, "Someone threw children?"
Gu Qianxue raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the nursery school, with a confused look on her face, "Could it be... I made a mistake in setting up the nursery school?"
"There are worse things, the county chief doesn't want to listen?" Pan Xiaopeng was cautious.
Gu Qianxue took a deep breath and mustered up her courage. "Go ahead."
Pan Xiaopeng whispered, "Most of the children who were thrown in front of the nursery were sick. Some of them threw them into the nursery to try their luck when they saw that they couldn't be cured. They didn't need to spend money to buy coffins to bury them when they died. If they survived, they ran away." Come to have a baby."
"..." Gu Qianxue was stunned. She had a feeling that everything was out of control. She had underestimated the dark side of human nature.
Yes, this is the case in the modern age of universal education, let alone Nanyue country.
Is she here a non-governmental welfare organization or a welfare organization with only one investor? Now that the investor has run away, she can't afford to worry about it.
"Princess, what should we do?" Pan Xiaopeng frowned, and he couldn't bear to give up these children.
Gu Qianxue took a deep breath, "The nursery has entered a closed stage. I will find a house later and pick up the children. I will not accept new homeless children for the time being. Although it is a good deed, I have to do what I can."
She realized that she needed Su Lingxiao more and more.
