Chapter 180 - 180 Gu Qingxue Will Always Be a Member of the Gu Family

180 Gu Qingxue Will Always Be a Member of the Gu Family

After heating up half of the braised meat and roast chicken sent by Huang Rong, Gu Qingxue made three more stir-fried dishes and brought the dishes to the main hall. The whole family gathered together and started the meal happily.

During the meal, Nanny Sheng asked with concern, “Miss Qi, did you go to the pharmacy to give consultations today?”

“Yes. When I went to the pharmacy to give consultations, there was a long queue outside the pharmacy. The money transferred was enough for our family to eat and drink. Don’t worry,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.

Nanny Sheng shook her head, “I’m not worried about this. I’m worried that the Eldest Miss will attract the jealousy of the Fifth Master if you go too far.”

!!

Gu Qingxue asked, “Are you worried that people from the Renyao Hall will come to find trouble with me?”

Nanny Sheng said in a grave tone, “The Eldest Miss has never been in charge of the house, so you don’t know that Renyao Hall of the Gu family has to hand in its books and profits once every three months. The amount of money to be handed in each time has a fixed amount. Right now, An Pharmacy that you’re in, is dominating the whole area and has taken away the business of Renyao Hall. This old servant is worried that the Fifth Master might be dissatisfied with you.”

“Don’t worry, nanny. Gu Yi has always been displeased with me, and that’s not a bad thing. We’ll take it as it comes. Let’s take it one step at a time.” Gu Qingxue smiled and continued to eat with her head lowered calmly.

Seeing that Gu Qingxue was not in a hurry, Nanny Sheng did not say anything else. She could only pray silently for Gu Qingxue to be successful.

Time flew by. Seven days later, Gu Qingxue had been busy the whole morning and had just finished her lunch. After a short nap, she heard the bustling noise coming from the front hall.

Opening her eyes impatiently, Gu Qingxue cleared her throat. “Lil’ Qi, come in.”

The maid, Lil’ Qi, who was in charge of serving Gu Qingxue in An Pharmacy, pushed open the door and entered nervously. “Please don’t be angry, Lady Gu. It’s not our people who want to disturb your rest.”

Gu Qingxue had always been a light sleeper. She spent an entire day in the pharmacy and needed an hour of lunch break. In order to cooperate with her, the An Pharmacy would close for two hours every afternoon. No one dared to disturb her rest.

Gu Qingxue nodded lightly. “Did something happen?”

“It’s the head shopkeeper of Renyao Hall. He came to knock on the door first. Our shopkeeper told us that you were resting, but he didn’t listen. The shopkeeper was afraid that he would disturb you, so he let him in. However, after the head shopkeeper of Ren Yao Hall entered the door, he refused to leave. He insisted on seeing you before he was willing to leave. He kept shouting and making noise, and we couldn’t stop him at all. That was why we disturbed you,” Lil’ Qi answered truthfully.

“He’s disturbing my sleep. It’s really annoying.” Gu Qingxue rubbed the space between her eyebrows with a headache. “Forget it. Take me to have a look.”

“Yes.” Lil’ Qi nodded and led Gu Qingxue to the front hall.

Before Gu Qingxue reached the front hall, she heard Gu Yi’s arrogant words. “Huang Rongfa, how dare you detain a member of the Gu family here! Do you believe that I will go to the county magistrate to sue you?”

Huang Rongfa was annoyed by Gu Yi. “Gu Yi, you shameless old man. You didn’t care about Lady Gu before. How dare you say that she is a member of the Gu family?!”

Gu Yi laughed arrogantly. “Blood is thicker than water. Gu Qingxue will always be a member of the Gu family! I’m warning you to fire her immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Gu Qingxue walked into the hall and sneered. “The head shopkeeper is so imposing. Today, I want to see how unreasonable you are.”
