Yu Wenhao has always been very concerned about the rumors that Chu Mingyang told Mrs. Gu. This has damaged the reputations of Lao Yuan and Jing Yan at the same time. Although it has not been spread now, there is no guarantee that it will not happen in the future.
Especially, when the Leng family disagrees with this marriage, given the characters of Mrs. Gu and Gu Kangman, they will definitely make a big fuss about it.
Therefore, Yu Wenhao asked Gu Si to go back and deal with it to clarify the matter. It would be best to add fuel to Chu Mingyang's situation and make the situation worse. Let's see what the ultimate purpose of these people is.
Gu Si was not good at handling these matters, so he left them all to Yuan Qingping.
Yuan Qingping handled such matters with ease. One day while chatting with Mrs. Gu Er and Gu Kangman, she casually said, "By the way, Second Aunt, I have something to tell you. I need to tell you something."
Be alert and alert.”
Mrs. Gu Er asked: "What's the matter?"
Yuan Qingping touched his abdomen with both hands and said slowly: "I was talking to Princess Qi two days ago, and I heard her say that Jingzhao Mansion is currently investigating a fraud case. There are several people who claim to be wealthy businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River and come to Beijing to commit fraud.
On the pretext of business turnover, I borrowed money from many people. At first, I would pay interest, but over time, those people ran away, and they couldn't even get their principal back, and they lost all their money. Princess Qi asked me to be careful and don't do this.
Second aunt, please pay attention. If there is a lady you know well, please tell me and say goodbye."
When Mrs. Gu Er and Gu Kangman heard this, their faces turned pale and they looked at each other.
Mrs. Gu Er looked at Yuan Qingping and her voice changed slightly, "A wealthy businessman from Jiangnan?"
"Yes, you should be careful anyway. It's not easy to save some money."
"Have all those people been arrested?" Mrs. Gu Er asked.
Yuan Qingping shook his head, "I don't know. Anyway, some people are reporting to the police one after another, saying that they cannot get back the money they lent. The most is hundreds of thousands of taels."
She put down the teacup, looked at the panicked face of the second lady, and asked in shock: "Second Aunt, didn't you also borrow some money to go out?"
"No...no!" Mrs. Gu Er shook her head and waved her hands, fidgeting and forcing a smile, "Where can I have the money to lend it out? I haven't had enough expenses in the past two years. In the early years, I saved some money for personal expenses.
A few silver dollars, but they are all used as dowry for your fifth sister, how can you lend them out?"
Yuan Qingping said: "That's good. If you have someone you know well, please let me know. Also, I've seen the eldest princess come frequently recently. She should have some money on hand. You can also tell her something."
Twice, don’t lend your money out.”
Mrs. Gu Er was absent-minded and reluctantly said: "Okay."
Yuan Qingping said: "Speaking of the eldest prince's concubine, there is a saying that you should persuade the second aunt to persuade her. After all, she is also your cousin and niece. Princess Qi said that several ladies have come to tell her recently that the eldest prince's concubine is
The concubine is fabricating rumors about my sister outside. In fact, my sister has never offended her. It is because she longs for my brother-in-law but cannot ask for it, and she becomes resentful. My brother-in-law does not like her, so she hates my sister. She is always talking outside these days.
My sister had an affair with the eldest prince, and had an affair with Gu Si, and she kept saying that it was Chu Shoufu who said it to her. Although no one believed what she said, these words were too many, and if they reached the ears of my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law would definitely
She wants to make her angry. I don’t know how my brother-in-law will treat her then."
Gu Kangman originally didn't want to believe that An Jingyan had an affair with Yuan Qingling, but now after hearing Yuan Qingping's words, he suddenly got angry and said angrily: "I'm so kind to her in vain, and she actually slandered her casually? It's really unreasonable.
.”
"Man'er!" Mrs. Gu's second wife scolded her coldly, warning her not to talk nonsense.
Yuan Qingping was stunned for a moment, "Fifth girl, what do you mean by this?"
Gu Kangman calmed down, but the anger in his eyes remained, "It's nothing, I just think she went too far."
"It's indeed too much. My sister didn't offend her in the past. She just hated her because of love. That's all. Not to mention these people, I have to go back to take care of my sister. I'm almost awake now." Yuan Qing blinked.
Having reached the point, I stopped asking questions, got up and left.
As soon as Yuan Qingping went out, Gu Kangman said excitedly: "Mother, she is going too far. How could she say such things to Master Leng? I must ask her to find out."
Mrs. Gu Er slowly stood up and said, "I want to find her, but Master Leng's matter is not urgent. The key is to get the money back as soon as possible. The last time I defaulted on the interest, I felt something was wrong. If he is a solid businessman, how could he not
Talk about trustworthiness? Isn’t this cutting off the road ahead?”
"Then send someone to call her quickly." Gu Kangman was also anxious. All the money was her dowry. Whether she was taken seriously by her husband's family in the future would all depend on the amount of the dowry.
Mrs. Gu Er was also considered a good person. She warned her daughter: "If she comes, you must not attack her. The money is still in her hands. You have to discuss it with her and ask her to take the money back. Then we can go to the next door."
Please stop interacting with relatives."
"I know, mother." Gu Kangman was so angry that his almond-shaped eyes were filled with smoke. She had always been proud and arrogant, but now she had to temporarily compromise with her for the sake of money, which made her even more angry.
Mrs. Gu Er sent someone to invite Chu Mingyang, saying that she had obtained a piece of jade, and asked her to come over and appreciate it.
She knew that if Mao hurriedly invited Chu Mingyang, she would definitely be suspicious and would be in trouble if she didn't come, so she deliberately made up an excuse. Chu Mingyang was very interested in jade, antique, gold and silver jewelry, so she would definitely come.
Sure enough, at Xiangwu, Chu Mingyang came.
She was wearing a silver cloak, and the fox fur at the collar was a little yellowed. This fox fur cloak was very expensive, and it was clothes from the past. Now she couldn't afford to buy a new one.
The phoenix has fallen, but it still has to be carried on.
Chu Mingyang came and exchanged greetings. The second lady actually took out a piece of jade and showed it to Chu Mingyang. Chu Mingyang was attracted by it as soon as he saw it. He only regretted that he couldn't afford it. After appreciating it, he said calmly: "The quality is good, but I got one in the past.
Mutton-fat white jade is truly rare. Naturally, the value of jadeite and mutton-fat white jade cannot be generalized. My cousin, this is also a top-quality product."
Mrs. Gu Er smiled slowly and said, "You have always had good taste. Since you agreed, I will ask someone to give your cousin a jade headband. This jade is big enough and can be used to make a bracelet."
And give her a dowry."
"Dowry?" Chu Mingyang raised his eyes and said calmly: "What's going on? Is the marriage settled?"
The second lady looked pleased and said: "It's basically settled, and the Leng family also has this intention, so after the engagement is finalized, we have to prepare for the wedding. Yang'er, you have to get the money back from me.
It’s a pity that we can’t make any profit.”
Chu Mingyang looked at her and said, "You really don't want to consider the Leng family? My cousin's life-long event cannot be hasty."
