âNo, but Yang Wanning asked me to help keep her 50,000 silver.â Zhou Ying replied after confirming that there was no one else around.
âIt seems that my aunt is not that stupid. At least she saw the problem at the last minute and left something for her daughter.â
âItâs a pity that sheâs too soft-hearted. If she had divorced when she was alive or if she had split her assets and lived elsewhere, Yang Wanning and her brother wouldnât have ended up this way.â
âEven if she has that intention, Yang Shicheng wonât agree.
âMoreover, with her old-fashioned thinking, she wonât necessarily have the courage to leave.â When Gu Chengrui said this, he thought of Gu Ziyi. Wasnât she also forced into a divorce as a last resort?
âThatâs true.â
âOh right, keep an eye on the Yang residence tomorrow afternoon. Maybe there will be a good show.â
âYou didnât do anything, did you?â
âI just made another bet with Yang Chenglin.â
Zhou Ying looked at him suspiciously and asked, âWhat did you bet on?â
âI just teach him how to discover Mrs. Cuiâs true colors.â Gu Chengrui told her his plan after he finished speaking.
âIâm not going to lie; thatâs pretty despicable of you. Not only can you let him see the true colors of Mrs. Cu, but you can also sow discord between them, mother and son.â
âItâs impolite not to take the offer when given.â
On the other end, after Zhou Jiaqing found out that Qiu Niangâs family had been redeemed, she was so angry that she slapped Zisu a dozen times. âYou idiot! Canât you even do something this simple? Go straight to the laundry room tomorrow!â
Zisu nodded and left without saying anything.
Not only did she not feel dejected, she also heaved a sigh of relief.
A second-class maid, Lian Qiao, saw this and went forward to comfort her, saying, âSister Zisu, donât be too sad. The missus just got into a fit of anger. When her anger subsides, she will definitely call you back.â
Zisu looked at her gloating expression and sneered inwardly. âThank you for the kind words.â She replied calmly.
After saying that, she covered her face and left.
She clearly understood Zhou Jiaqingâs character over the past few years.
If she really did as she said that day, not only would Zhou Jiaqing not reward her, but she would still blame her for abandoning her mistress. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Regardless of what she chooses, she will be unable to satisfy Zhou Jiaqing and will get punished.
Therefore, it was better to leave her side as soon as possible.
Lian Qiao looked at Zisuâs back as she left and sneered. She turned around and walked in with a broom and dustpan. She quickly swept away the things that Zhou Jiaqing had broken and said, âYoung miss, I have something I donât know if I should say.â
âJust say if thereâs something you want to say. Iâm not in the mood to be polite with you now.â Zhou Jiaqing leaned on the bed and replied impatiently.
âActually, thereâs no need to mess with Haitang or the others if you want to ruin Zhou Ying. Donât you think Zhou Ying has problems when sheâs been married for so many years and has no children?
âAlso, they have just established their residence. Iâm sure they will be buying servants, so if you arrange for one or two people to go in and win her husbandâs favor, then sheâ¦â
Zhou Jiaqing paused after hearing that. She thought of her mother, who cried daily to gain her fatherâs favor, and how she became numbed by everything. Zhou Jiaqing was instantly exhilarated by the idea.
Thatâs right, what women cared about the most was their husbandâs love. How miserable would Zhou Yingâs fate be if she lost her love and had no child to rely on?
She quickly replied, â1â11 leave arranging this to you. Find me two girls.â
âYes, I will do my best.â Lian Qiao turned around and walked out. When she was outside, she quickly threw down the things in her hands and ran out happily.
She firmly believed that as long as this task was carried out smoothly, she would definitely become her missusâ best confidant. At that time, she would ride the tide and might one day be a concubine..
