Chapter 423 This is to fool her
Ever since Qian San went back that day, Gu Han locked himself in his room every day drinking.
Gu Shao and his maid fiancée stayed at home because of the abuse outside.
Old Madam Gu looked even more indifferent and had an attitude of quitting her job and giving up.
Li Jiaojiao was so frightened that she hid in her room every day.
The entire Ningguo Marquis Mansion was dead silent.
At this time, the maid walked into Li Jiaojiao's room: "Grandma, the wife of Duke Ping is here..."
Li Jiaojiao was leaning on the bed in a daze, and turned back: "What is she doing here?"
The maid said, "I came to seek refuge with you."
"Depart? What does it mean to defect?"
The maid pursed her lips and said, "The eldest lady also knows about the verdict of the Pingguo Mansion. Now even the house has become the property of the Deli Bank. The Pingguo Duke has divorced his wife and left the capital with his family."
"The Duke's wife has nowhere to go, and since Grandma is her adopted daughter, she naturally came to you for help."
Li Jiaojiao's face was extremely ugly. With a loud bang, she swept the things on the table to the ground:
"What's your tone? Are you on her side or on my side? You're such a traitor! And doesn't she have a biological daughter? Does she need to turn to me, her adopted daughter?"
The maid's face turned pale and she dared not say a word.
She despised Li Jiaojiao to the extreme in her heart, and not only her, but everyone in the whole mansion despised her.
In fact, everyone in the capital knows clearly whether Li Jiaojiao was the one who did the incident at the Duke Ping's Mansion.
There is no way to catch her because there is no evidence.
The maid pursed her lips and said, "Then... Grandma won't deal with it? Then I'll go and tell the old lady."
"Don't!" Li Jiaojiao was startled and stood up. "What are you saying, old lady? Do you know how to behave?"
"She is no longer the wife of the Duke of Pingguo. She is a divorced woman. Why do you care about her? We are the mansion of the Marquis of Ningguo. Anyone who wants to see the master can see the master."
The maid's face was about to crack: "Then now..."
Li Jiaojiao looked gloomy. If she drove the Duke's wife away right now, she would be embarrassed again. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What's your name?"
The maid said, "My name is Xuehua."
"Xuehua, you have been assigned to my yard, so you are mine from now on. I will not treat you badly."
As he said this, he walked back to the room, reluctantly took out twenty taels of silver, and stuffed it into her hand:
"Give her twenty taels of silver. Let her leave the capital first and find an inn to stay in. Don't look for me yet. I will look for her in a few days."
Snowflake nodded and turned to leave.
A hint of annoyance flashed across Li Jiaojiao's eyes.
She can't even protect herself now, so who has the time to care about her?
Although she is very nice to me, but...she has no choice now.
She doesn't want to stay in this shabby place, Beijing, anymore!
After thinking about it, she went to the old lady's yard.
The old lady sat back on the couch and looked at her coldly: "What do you want?"
Li Jiaojiao stuttered, "Grandma... there have been too many things going on at home recently, and everyone is laughing at us. Why don't we... leave Beijing for a while? Go back to our hometown and live there for a few years, and it won't be too late to come back in a few years."
Old Madam Gu was stunned. She thought she came to talk about taking in the wife of Duke Pingguo, but she actually said she wanted to leave Beijing?
Madam Gu lowered her eyes and said, "Besides this, do you have anything else to do?"
Seeing that she didn't agree, Li Jiaojiao said anxiously, "No more. Grandma... let's go back to our hometown!"
"Let me think about it, you go back first!"
Li Jiaojiao turned and left.
After she left, Mrs. Gu sighed fiercely: "What a sin!"
She could see clearly that Li Jiaojiao was just trying to fool the wife of Duke Ping and then escape. Poor Lady Pingguo was still helping Li Jiaojiao until the last moment.
At this time, Xuehua came out from behind the screen and said, "Madam, how can I report to the wife of Duke Ping?"
Madam Gu said, "Just explain this matter to her directly!"
Xuehua turned and left. Old Madam Gu closed her eyes and shed two lines of tears.
Now that you've embarrassed yourself, let's continue to embarrass yourself thoroughly! Maybe, I can wake Gu Han up by slapping him.
......
In the small hall of the outer courtyard, Lady Pingguo had been waiting for nearly half an hour.
It's just a message, why does it take so long?
She had been a mistress for decades, so she naturally knew the reason.
One is that the master really has something to do, and the other is that the master doesn't want to see her.
What could possibly happen to Jiaojiao...
At this time, Xuehua came in trotting.
When Lady Pingguo saw that it wasn't Li Jiaojiao, her heart sank: "Where's Jiaojiao?"
Xuehua stuffed twenty taels into her pocket and said, "Grandma said that she has been busy lately, so she asked Madam to go to the outskirts of Beijing and find an inn to stay at first. She will come to see Madam in a few days."
Lady Pingguo was stunned, looking at the twenty taels in her hand. Is that all?
Also, why is it in the suburbs of Beijing?
Lady Pingguo felt uneasy: "What is Jiaojiao busy with?"
Xuehua frowned: "Well... there's nothing to do, just lie on the couch and stare blankly!"
There was a rumbling sound in the wife of Duke Ping's head, as if something had exploded.
Xuehua continued, "And... Madam Wan should not wait for her. She has already proposed to the old lady that she wants to leave Beijing and return to her hometown to live. The old lady is considering it."
Lady Pingguo's heart sank: "I want to see her! Ask her to come over, I want to see her!"
Xuehua frowned: "Madam, don't waste your energy. Grandma doesn't want to see you."
Lady Pingguo's heart became even colder.
I thought of my divorce letter, Liu Shangwei's farewell, Yu Ma's three kowtows, and the desolate state of the Duke's Mansion...
This is all because of Jiaojiao...
No, she didn't say it was Jiaojiao's fault, but...
Anyway, Li Jiaojiao can't treat her like this!
Lady Pingguo was very emotional: "What do you mean you don't want to see me? I'm her mother! Get out of the way——"
"Hey, hey, hey - you can't barge in -"
But Lady Pingguo had already pushed her away and ran towards Li Jiaojiao's yard in a hurry.
The wife of Duke Pingguo knew the terrain of the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion.
She had attended many banquets here before. Now Li Jiaojiao lives in the three westernmost courtyards.
Li Jiaojiao was feeling bored in the room when a noise came from outside: "Madam Wan, you can't go in."
When Li Jiaojiao heard this, her face changed. How could Xuehua, such a lowly maid, do her job? And the Ningguo Marquisate is too weak, they can’t even stop a woman!
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale and she wanted to hide, but she couldn't! She had to comfort her.
Thinking of this, she rushed out.
After leaving the courtyard, I saw that Lady Pingguo was being stopped by the maids in the mansion: "Madam Wan, please go out."
"I won't go out. I want to see Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is my daughter. As her in-law, can't I even see my own daughter? You guys - Jiaojiao!"
Lady Pingguogong was making a fuss when she turned around and saw Li Jiaojiao. Her eyes immediately turned red, filled with grievance and pain, weighing on her heart.
Li Jiaojiao forced a smile: "Why did mother come in... I, I was busy..."
Lady Pingguo looked at her smile and felt it was too dazzling: "What are you busy with?"
Li Jiaojiao clenched her fists: "Oh... Mother also knows that I'm a newcomer... There are a lot of things going on at home. Isn't half of the family property Gu Han's? I just took over, so I have to check the account books..."
Lady Pingguo's eyes widened, tears streaming down her cheeks:
"Look at the account book? Hahaha, look at the account book? This is a serious matter, do you really have to look at this account book? If you miss one day, will the account book disappear?"
