Although Jiang Jinyue was not very happy about it, she thought that Gu Nianshu was probably here to ask for money, so she decided to hide behind. After all, if she had the money, she would rather give it to Tai Jingwan than to Gu Nianshu.
He was even more unwilling to let other members of the Gu family get something for free.
Gu Nianshu had just heard from the servants that Jiang Jinyue was also in Yingxue Pavilion, but when she came in, she only saw Tai Jingwan, which made her even more annoyed.
Over the past three years, Tai Jingwan has been gentle and polite to others, thoughtful in everything, and has never wronged anyone. She has taken especially good care of her sister-in-law Gu Nianshu.
This made Gu Nianshu feel that Tai Jingwan was easy to control.
In addition, Old Tang came from a humble family, and she herself could not learn the etiquette for women in the boudoir, let alone teach Gu Nianshu.
After Tai Jingwan came in, although she wanted to give some guidance, old Mrs. Tang didn't like Tai Jingwan, who was of noble status, and Gu Nianshu didn't like Tai Jingwan either, so the two of them didn't get very close.
Now, Gu Huaizhi married a second wife on the grounds that Tai Jingwan had no children for three years, and Gu Nianshu took over the power of the family. This made Gu Nianshu feel that Tai Jingwan should be inferior to her in the Gu family.
Just now, she heard Gu Huaizhi and Old Mrs. Tang say that Gu Mingzhi sold Tai Jingwan's dowry and used the money to gamble.
Now, Shuntian Prefecture asked the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to pay ten thousand taels of gold as compensation to that Niu San. How could the Xuanping Marquis Mansion have so much silver?
...
...
Gu Nianshu felt pain in her heart when she thought about having to pay ten thousand taels of gold.
Gu Nianshu even thought that all this was Tai Jingwan's fault.
If she hadn't failed to manage her dowry well, how could the third brother have gotten that dowry?
Without the dowry, the third brother would have no money to gamble outside.
If the Tai family had not wanted to show off their wealth by giving Tai Jingwan a fake item as a dowry, there would not be the huge debt they have to pay today.
Thinking of this, Gu Nianshu glared at Tai Jingwan fiercely.
Tai Jingwan sneered in her heart. She had been in the mansion for three years and thought that she had done her best for her sister-in-law.
Even the clothes and jewelry that Gu Nianshu is wearing now were all bought by her.
Otherwise, with the Gu family's wealth, how could they afford to wear such Shu brocade clothes.
Not to mention the golden peony headpiece that Gu Nianshu wore all over her head, which was carefully made by her.
Now it seems that he is indeed an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.
"Who made Third Sister so angry?" Tai Jingwan asked Gu Nianshu gently, as she always did.
"Tai, stop pretending to be a good person for whom? I'm not my eldest brother, I won't fall for it!" Gu Nianshu crossed her arms and glared at Tai Jingwan unhappily.
"I don't know what I did wrong to make my third sister so angry." Tai Jingwan was not angry at all.
Instead, he smiled more gently at Gu Nianshu.
Gu Nianshu felt like she had punched cotton.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not acquire the noble temperament of Tai Jingwan, and she always felt inferior to her.
This made Gu Nianshu want to surpass Tai Jingwan even more.
Unfortunately, the more Gu Nianshu wanted something, the harder it was to get it.
But Tai Jingwan seemed to have all of this without any effort.
"Tai, stop talking nonsense. Since you have caused my third brother to owe a huge debt of ten thousand taels of gold, you have to pay back the money!" Gu Nianshu said to Tai Jingwan in a commanding tone.
"Third sister, don't say that casually. When did I let your third brother owe a huge debt?" Tai Jingwan sneered in her heart. It is said that one is not afraid of god-like opponents, but is afraid of pig-like teammates.
Would Gu Nianshu tell her that Gu Mingzhi lost the gambling because he stole her dowry, so she has to bear the debt?
Thinking of this, Tai Jingwan just looked at Gu Nianshu quietly. As long as she dared to say that, she should send someone to Shuntian Prefecture to report the case.
Are Tai Jingwan’s things so easy to use?
These ungrateful bastards stole my things and now they blame me for not keeping an eye on them?
Or is it because your things are too valuable?
If it is true, if this person hates you, he will feel that the air you breathe is disgusting.
Fortunately, after listening to Jiang Jinyue's thoughts, Tai Jingwan also recognized the nature of this family.
Otherwise, at this moment, she might still be kindly managing the people in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
[She is really an ungrateful person, my pretty sister. You must not be soft-hearted towards her. If you were to say who is the most hateful person in the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, besides that scumbag Gu, it would be her. My pretty sister, this person even wants to make you lose your innocence, just to make you hand over all your dowry as her dowry. 】
Jiang Jinyue was in the inner room, thinking anxiously.
[Having said that, although Gu Nianshu had a poor family background, she was lucky. With the help of Sister Tai, she even married the second son of the Yao family, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. You should know that Mrs. Qiu was a well-known good mother-in-law in the capital. Many of the noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry into the Yao family. Alas, the Yao family is unlucky to have married such a troublemaker. 】
Tai Jingwan frowned when she heard this. You know, Lord Yao and my father are in a superior-subordinate relationship, and they usually have a good relationship. It can be said that Lord Yao is my father's right-hand man.
If Lord Yao's backyard is a mess, I'm sure he won't be able to do his official duties well.
Thinking of this, Tai Jingwan was unwilling to send a plague god like Gu Nianshu to the Yao family again.
"Hmph, you're still quibbling? If it weren't for your..." Gu Nianshu was about to say, if Tai Jingwan's dowry hadn't been put away properly, Gu Mingzhi would never have taken it out to gamble.
"Third sister, what are you doing here?" Gu Huaizhi ran over.
Gu Huaizhi was also worried that Gu Nianshu had said something she shouldn't have.
Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise, Gu Huaizhi didn't dare to think about the consequences if Tai Jingwan knew that her dowry was used by the Gu family.
"Husband, I wonder if my third sister has suffered any injustice? She said that the reason why my third brother owed gambling debts was because of me. I really don't understand. I really didn't know that my third brother went out to gamble. Otherwise, I would have told you earlier." Tai Jingwan sighed and said.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. She got angry at the servants in the mansion, so she came here to make trouble. She is young and doesn't understand. You are the eldest sister-in-law, so don't bother with her." Gu Huaizhi said, glaring at Gu Nianshu.
"Brother, why are you protecting her? If it weren't for her, how could Third Brother owe so much money!" Gu Nianshu had never been so humiliated before, and she shouted angrily.
"Okay, mother is looking for you, go back quickly and don't disturb your sister-in-law unless necessary." Gu Huaizhi quickly winked at Gu Nianshu.
I was thinking to myself that I must not reveal the secret in front of Tai Jingwan.
Gu Nianshu looked at her elder brother and found that he was still protecting Tai Jingwan. Although she was angry, she still left.
"Jingwan, don't blame your third sister. She's just a little impatient. She doesn't mean any bad things." Gu Huaizhi said to Tai Jingwan with a smile.
"Husband, don't worry, I understand." Tai Jingwan just felt a little regretful. Why was this matter interrupted by Gu Huaizhi?
"Well, Nianshu is not young anymore, and her mother is old. You are the eldest sister-in-law. Later, you can help Nianshu find a suitable family." Gu Huaizhi thought that the influence of the Tai family in the capital was several times stronger than that of the Gu family. The people who were acquainted with the Tai family were all of the best conditions.
