Chen Xing looked at the proud Mrs. Chen in front of him, endured it again and again, and finally couldn't hold it back, and said directly: "Sorry, madam, I'm afraid I can't listen to you about this matter."
As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, the teacup that was originally in Mrs. Chen's hand flew past his face and landed on the ground behind him with a crisp sound.
Chen Xing was taken aback by this movement, but Mrs. Chen only raised her eyelids, stared straight at him, and said calmly, "You think I'm discussing with you?"
Chen Xing watched her clenched her fist silently.
Mrs. Chen's eyes swept over him, and her eyes stayed on his clenched fist for a few seconds, then fell back to Chen Xing's face, seeing his unconvinced look, said lightly: "Your contract of sale It’s still in my hands, even if you’re not convinced, it’s useless, I warn you not to think about it, or I’ll hand it over to the traffickers and let them deal with you.”
Chen Xing's eyes widened, and he stared at Mrs. Chen in disbelief. He remembered that this body belonged to Mr. Chen, how could there be such a thing as a contract of sale
As if seeing Chen Xing's doubts, and as if she simply wanted to hit him, Mrs. Chen's lips curled into a vicious smile, "Your mother thought that if she hooked up with the master, she would be able to get rid of her filthy Status. It's a pity, even if you hook up with the master, you are still a lowly one."
Chen Xing only felt that her words were particularly harsh, but he also knew that he could no longer be impulsive. Although he has only been here for a few days, he has also figured out the rules here. Knowing that his deed of prostitution is in her hands, even if he escapes, as long as she reports to the official with the certificate, the official will send someone go get him.
Chen Xing forced himself to calm down, tried to put on a submissive gesture, looked at Mrs. Chen above, and said cautiously, "Who does Madam want me to marry?"
Mrs. Chen carelessly played with her trimmed fingertips, and said flatly: "Young master of the Gu family, you should be so grateful for such a good marriage."

On the way back, Chen Xing frowned silently when he thought of the man he had met once.
Although Chen Xing didn't know what Mrs. Chen was planning, but when she thought that she was a threat and a warning from the deed of prostitution, she knew that this matter was not a good thing, and there might even be a conspiracy here.
Thinking of what Mrs. Chen said just now that when Chen Xing got married, he would put his deed of sale in the dowry and hand it over to his future husband, he felt terrified. If that Mr. Gu blamed him for getting married, then he would have plenty of ways to torment himself with his own body deed. After all, it was supposed to be a marriage between the sons-in-law, but now he is asked to replace it by a person of humble origin. Anyone who changes it will feel it is a great humiliation.
Chen Xing felt that Mrs. Chen was extremely vicious. He had to think of a way to see how he could get out of this predicament.
*
Mrs. Chen was very fast. After notifying Chen Xing that she was going to get married, she sent a housekeeper to negotiate with the Gu family.
I don't know if the Gu family misunderstood that the one who married was the prostitute daughter, or because they were afraid of the current power of the Chen family, they abruptly agreed to the marriage that was going to be retired, and promised to come and marry on time.
The Chen family was also informed that they wanted to marry the Gu family, which surprised everyone in the Gu family. They were all sighing behind their backs, with Mrs. Chen's shrewd character, how could she agree to this marriage
Until the servants found out that Mrs. Chen was talking about getting married, but there were not many decorations in the house, and they didn't even see the slightest gesture of getting married, they understood that there must be fraud. It's just that due to Mrs. Chen's deterrence, I dare not speak out.
On the day of the wedding, the servants were shocked to find that the bride who was supposed to come out of the wife's yard actually came out of the servant's yard, and they were all shocked. Only Zhou Guo looked at the leaving figure with a shocked expression on his face.
The steward of Chen's house looked at the team with only one Xiaojiao and a few musicians in disgust, and said proudly: "Master and Madam are not feeling well today and cannot go to Gu's house. Please take care of Mr. Gu."
The people who came to pick up the bride heard his words and smiled, "It's okay, my young master is not in good health, so it's good to avoid these etiquettes."
The housekeeper looked at his groveling appearance, and his expression became more and more disdainful, and said in a harsh tone, "The madam also said that a married person is just splashed water, and it is better to have less contact with him in the future."
The man looked up at the housekeeper deeply, and the smile on his face grew bigger, "I will tell my young master."
After the housekeeper couldn't wait to close the door, the man directed the people to lift up the sedan chair and went back with the pitifully small dowry.
*
The moment he got into the sedan chair, Chen Xing felt that something was wrong. Although the sedan chair was not very big, the cushion felt soft. However, he had never sat in a sedan chair before, so this doubt only flashed in his mind for a moment, and then he completely left it behind.
What Chen Xing is more worried about now is how he will face Gu Lang when he goes to Gu's house later. He heard the harsh words of the housekeeper just now clearly, and he also knew that he didn't save any face for the Gu family. If Young Master Gu found out, he would inevitably blame himself.
After Chen Xing entered Gu's house, he was directly invited into the room, which made him both puzzled and relieved. Sitting on the bed, he was anxiously thinking about what he should say next in order to persuade Gu Lang to return his contract of sale to himself.
In a room not far away, a man in a white gown was standing in front of the desk, calmly drawing a pen to trace the picture of a titmouse. He didn't put down the pen until the last feather on the bird's body was finished, and asked lightly: "how?"
The man who was being questioned was obviously the one who went to pick up the bride just now, and the man who was asking the question at this time was the head of the family, Gu Lang.
Hearing his young master's question, the man hastily repeated what the butler said, and finally said: "I checked it out, the dowry given by the Chen family is a pile of used old things, this deed is The most valuable of them all.”
Gu Lang took the contract in his hand, glanced at the name on it, and sneered, "This Chen family can do business, and they want to exchange so many things from my Gu family with one servant."
The man looked at his young master's expression that was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, and asked carefully: "What do you want to do, young master?"
"Naturally, I should go and see first, what kind of stunning beauty is worth so much dowry from my Gu family!"
*
Chen Xing was sitting in the room, thinking about the countermeasures in his mind. Just when he started to feel irritable and wanted to do something, there were a few coughing sounds from the door.
Hearing the coughing sound, Chen Xing thought that it was Gu Lang who came, which made him tense all of a sudden. He sat there stiffly, rehearsing what he was going to say in his stomach several times.
When Chen Xing became more and more nervous, the door opened with a 'creak', and a white figure walked in slowly.
Chen Xing stared nervously at the direction of the door, and was stunned the next second when he saw the face of the person who came. He knew that Gu Lang had been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, but he didn't know that he was so good-looking.
While Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who was wearing a red dress and sitting on the bed, a hint of amazement also flashed in his eyes. It's no wonder Mrs. Chen dared to use such a person to exchange so many betrothal gifts from his Gu family.
Chen Xing, who was already nervous, became even more panicked when he saw that Gu Lang not only didn't speak as soon as he came in, but also stared at him in silence afterwards, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when Chen Xing didn't know whether to speak first, Gu Lang slowly walked towards him.
Seeing Gu Lang approaching, Chen Xing panicked all of a sudden. Although he himself likes men and has a good impression of Gu Lang's face, he can't accept having sex as soon as they meet!
Staring at Gu Lang who was about to get close to him, Chen Xing kept thinking in his heart, if he made Gu Lang faint later, would Gu Lang sell him out in a fit of anger.
Just when Gu Lang was getting closer and closer to Chen Xing, and Chen Xing couldn't help but prepare to make a move, Gu Lang suddenly bent down beside him.
Chen Xing jumped up and hid on the bed.
When Gu Lang got up again, he saw Chen Xing standing on the bed and staring at him defensively. He shook the things in his hands hesitantly, and asked in doubt, "What are you doing?"
After Chen Xing saw the things in his hand, he realized that Gu Lang didn't want to do anything to him, but wanted to pick up the hijab he threw on the ground. After hearing Gu Lang's question, he smiled even more awkwardly, not knowing how to answer this sentence.
Gu Lang didn't seem to care whether he answered or not, he put the red hijab that was disliked by the owner on a clean shelf next to him, and then taught Chen Xing: "Even if you don't like it, you shouldn't treat it like this .”
Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang who was sternly teaching him a lesson, and secretly thought to himself that this scholar still has a bit of romanticism.
After Chen Xing muttered in his heart, looking at Gu Lang's handsome face, he thought that he shouldn't be so difficult to speak. When he thought of what he was thinking just now, his eyes lit up, he trotted two steps quickly, and got out of bed. The inside ran to the side, smiled flatteringly at him and said, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
Gu Lang looked at him and frowned, his tone seemed to be admonishing an ignorant child, "Don't play on the bed."
Hearing Gu Lang's teaching tone, Chen Xing, who knew he was wrong, hurriedly got out of bed and put on his shoes, and smiled at him flatteringly: "I know, I know, I'm just a little anxious, I really have something to think about." To discuss with you."
Gu Lang looked at the beautiful face that suddenly approached, his eyes darkened, and it took a few seconds before he said, "What's the matter?"
Seeing that Gu Lang responded to him, Chen Xing felt that his thoughts should be playful, and quickly said: "I just want to discuss with you, I will return the betrothal gift you gave to the Chen family, and you will return my contract of sale I."
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Gu Lang's eyes flashed a strange color, he turned his head to look at Chen Xing who was staring at him expectantly, and asked, "Do you know how much dowry my Gu family gave to the Chen family?"
