Chapter 74 The Sponsor Wants to Sleep with Her Again
Gu Huan returned to the Duke's Mansion and went straight to Jinxiu Pavilion.
Gu Wanru's eyes lit up when she saw her: "Did you get it?"
Gu Huan handed her the banknote: "I got it."
Gu Wanru took the banknote and said happily, "Good, good, great."
"Jin Kui, go find my son-in-law and give him the fifty thousand taels of silver. Ask him to come over and tell me how I can make more money. We need to talk to him in person."
Jin Kui lowered his head and took it, feeling extremely nervous.
The 50,000 taels of silver was made up by Gu Huan. What if the son-in-law asks about the reason and it's exposed?
In front of Gu Wanru, she didn't dare to look at Gu Huan for fear of being exposed.
Gu Huan patted her shoulder and said, "Jin Kui, go out first."
Jin Kui obediently walked out of the door and closed it.
Gu Huan lowered her voice and said, "Sister, after giving this fifty thousand taels of silver to my son-in-law, he will definitely believe that you can help him make money. This batch of military supplies was selected and reported by the eunuchs, and my son-in-law has a good relationship with his godson. I went out today and found out that this man is lustful and has a fetish. Please remind my son-in-law to prepare a delicate beauty in advance and send it over. Maybe things will work out."
Gu Wanru was surprised: "How did you find out?"
Gu Huan remained calm and said, "When I met cousin Pei today, I asked you who should be contacted to handle this matter, and cousin Pei mentioned it. It just so happens that I have heard a little bit about this person. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out for yourself."
Gu Wanru was still suspicious and planned to ask Nanny Chen later.
If what Gu Huan said was true, she reminded Mu An and things were done, and Mu Anding felt that she was thoughtful.
By then, their relationship will definitely be restored.
Gu Huan looked at her skeptical expression.
I feel so happy that I can't express it in words.
In her previous life, she was the one who was sent to be sacrificed.
That beast was a pervert and tortured her to the point of near death.
But Gu Wanru and Mu An abandoned her in Jiaochun Garden and left her to fend for herself.
The madam was afraid that someone would die in her place, so she ordered people to make medicine for her to drink and apply medicine on her injured body. Only then did she save her life.
Gu Wanru sent Yinzhi to Jiaochun Garden to see if she was dead. Unexpectedly, she was fine, so she took her back to the Duke's Mansion and continued to use her.
Thinking back on it now, Gu Huan still trembles with fear.
She is very curious.
In this life, she has broken free from Gu Wanru's control, Yinzhi is also "dead", and Gu Wanru will instigate Mu An to give someone away.
Gu Huan stood up, glanced at Gu Wanru who was looking for gorgeous clothes to dress herself up, and said lightly: "My sister has gone back."
Gu Wanru had no objection and quickly dressed up, waiting for Mu An.
Gu Huan quickened her pace and caught up with Jin Kui, who was walking slowly.
The two of them tacitly quickened their pace and left Jinxiu Pavilion. They walked for a long distance and saw that there was no one around.
Gu Huan whispered to her that she had already arranged for her mother's medicine and living expenses, so that she would not have to worry about Aunt Pei's threats in the future.
"Second Miss..."
Jin Kui was so moved that she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and suppressed her sobs.
Gu Huan stroked her arm gently: "No need to thank me. You have already helped me."
Jin Kui didn't know what to say.
I really regret that I was so timid before. I watched the second girl being bullied but didn't dare to help.
"You don't need to look for the son-in-law later. Ask Biyu to pass the banknote to the son-in-law and tell him that it's for emergency. Tell him that the young mistress said there is a big deal going on right now and the son-in-law can make a lot of money. Please go to Jinxiu Pavilion for a meeting. Biyu will report the truth."
Gu Huan was worried that Jin Kui would be nervous and scared when seeing Mu An and might say something wrong.
Biyu is loyal to Mu An, and she will report everything good for Mu An truthfully.
Every time Gu Huan said something, Jin Kui would recite it silently in his heart, trying hard to remember every word.
She is not good at lying, so she doesn't like to talk usually. After hearing such a long speech, she was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
Jin Kui didn't know why Bi Yu would report the truth, but she believed Gu Huan.
Watching Jin Kui walk away, Gu Huan showed a happy smile on her face and blinked at Dong Hua Dong Qing: "Let's go find Sister Zhou."
"You're back so soon?"
Zhou Zhilan was using an abacus. She looked up with a smile, her eyes fell on Gu Huan's slightly swollen face, and she stood up suddenly.
He quickly stepped forward, held her face in his hands, and said coldly: "Who hit you?"
Gu Huan didn't expect that she could see it: "No...it's not..."
Zhou Zhilan turned to look at Donghua and shouted, "Tell me, who hit you? Didn't I tell you to protect Sister Huan? How did you protect her?"
Donghua was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to her knees. "Donghua deserves death. It was Miss Huan who was beaten by County Lady Jiang because she was trying to protect me."
Dong Qing also knelt down quickly: "It's all because of our incompetence."
Zhou Zhilan holds a high status in the mansion. She is usually efficient and decisive in her work, and the servants are a little afraid of her.
Gu Huan quickly retracted her face and walked forward to pull Donghua Holly up.
"It was because of me that County Lady Jiang took action. Don't blame them."
Donghua looked at her with red eyes.
Miss Gu Huan is weak and delicate, but she actually protects her. From now on, she will be her real master!
"Jiang Ruoxi?"
Zhou Zhilan snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I will help you fight back."
Gu Huan hugged her arms and said tenderly, "Good sister, the past is the past. I have something to ask of you."
Zhou Zhilan was frightened by her soft voice and glared at her: "If you have something to say, just say it. Leave this look for the master to see."
Gu Huan blushed, and quickly let go of her hand and stood up straight, saying honestly, "I want to embroider a headband for the old lady and make a set of pajamas as a birthday gift, but... I don't have any money. I want to ask my sister if I can use the fabric in the mansion."
After finally finishing speaking, Gu Huan's ears turned red.
Zhou Zhilan was speechless: "If you want to pick good fabrics and embroidery threads, just say so. Why are you shy?"
Gu Huan immediately put away her timid look and smiled, "Yes."
Zhou Zhilan crossed her arms and glanced at her: "I want a set too."
"Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what my sister thought." Gu Huan said with a flattering look on her face.
Zhou Zhilan grabbed Gu Huan's arm and held it, "That's better. Put some ice on your face first, and then we'll go to the storehouse to pick some. Focus on the old lady's gift first, I'm fine."
Gu Huan felt warm in her heart.
…
Gu Huan looked at the scarlet and silver brocade in front of her with great joy.
It is said that every inch of Yunjin is worth its weight in gold, with bright and brilliant colors, as beautiful as the clouds in the sky. When you see the real thing, it is truly magnificent.
Paired with pomegranate petals made of pigeon blood rubies, it is chic and luxurious.
In addition, I took a piece of the finest white satin and a piece of lake green satin, which were soft and delicate, and perfect for making pajamas.
The white one is for the old lady, and the lake green one is for Sister Zhou.
"Girl, there are only two days left. Can you make it in time?"
Donghua was a little worried.
"It's okay. I'm good at sewing. Besides, Yunjin is gorgeous, so I don't need to embroider complicated patterns. I just plan to embroider the pomegranate leaves."
Gu Huan smiled confidently.
Dong Qing dragged Zhang Xiudun to sit at Gu Huan's feet: "I will help you. My needlework skills are also good enough."
"Sister Dongqing is really good at needlework."
Donghua smiled and said, "I'll go get you lunch."
Gu Huan and Dong Qing were busy after lunch until the lights came on.
Donghua lit the candles in the room.
Gu Huan raised her head and looked out through the lattice window.
A group of maids laughed and whispered, holding candlesticks, wandering under the eaves and corridors, lighting lanterns one by one. The warm light shone through the oil paper, making people feel the beauty of life.
Gu Huan smiled and lowered her head to continue embroidering the headband in her hand. It was almost finished.
Donghua came in with dinner, looking a little anxious: "Miss, the master is back. I met Dongmo at the door, and he said that the master asked you to go to the study."
Gu Huan's hands froze, and she whispered, "Ouch."
The embroidery needle pierced into the finger and a drop of blood flowed out.
Gu Huan put her fingers into her mouth angrily.
I had originally planned to fix the flowers on the cuffs and collar of my pajamas tonight so I could sew them up tomorrow.
He's going to sleep with her again tonight?
Donghua and Dongqing didn't dare to say much and served dinner in silence.
