Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
She asked Shunzi, "Are you sure Sangui said that if Xie Xian married Bingyangzi and she died in two years, he would get a dowry for free?"
Shunzi was a little nervous and nodded cautiously, "I'm sure that's what Sangui said."
Gu Ting was furious and pounded the table with his fist, "Xie Xian has gone too far, there is not a single good person in the Xie family.
The marriage hasn't even been finalized, and he's already plotting my sister's dowry. He's even going to take her life. I, I wish I could kill Xie Xian with a single blow."
"Brother, calm down."
Gu Jiu's face was calm, neither sad nor happy.
Su Zheng sighed inwardly, it was rare that his cousin Xiaojiu was so young and yet she remained calm in the face of difficulties.
Gu Jiu smiled. If the original owner hadn't died and was tricked into marrying Xie Xian, given her physical condition and her tendency to keep things to herself, it was very likely that she would have died of illness two years after the marriage.
By then, Xie Xian will really be able to get a dowry for free.
But she is not the original owner, so how can she let Xie get what she wants?
Xie wanted to manipulate her marriage and sent her away early.
If she didn't respond, she would be doing herself a disservice.
Whether in the previous life or this life, Gu Jiu is a person who cannot tolerate being wronged.
I can't stand being plotted against like this.
She looked at Shunzi and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You go down first."
"I'll take my leave."
Shunzi retreated, and Qingmei handed him a purse filled with copper coins. "This is a reward from my daughter."
Huh?
Shunzi was surprised.
Qingmei pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't refuse. My daughter specifically asked me to thank you very much."
Shunzi laughed sheepishly, "My cousin, you've even figured this out. That's amazing."
Qingmei smiled and said, "My cousin is busy studying, so you must be the one who is asking for information. My daughter has already expected this."
Shunzi smiled and took the purse, "Thank you for the gift, cousin."
In the house.
Gu Ting was anxious and angry. "Sister, what do you say we should do about this? Just give your orders whether to kill or chop up Xie Xian."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't worry, brother. It's just a small matter, no need to shout and fight. Solving this matter is actually very simple.
Xie Xian doesn't like reading, but he pretends to like it. After more than ten days, I think he must be pent up.
At this time, if someone is willing to give him an opportunity, guess what he would do?"
Su Zheng seemed to be thinking about something. "I heard from Shunzi that when Xie Xian was in Xizhou, he was a frequent visitor to the local brothel."
Gu Jiu smiled knowingly. As expected, looking at Xie Xian's greasy face, it was clear that he was not a man who would keep quiet.
How can a person who is used to indulging in sensual pleasures endure abstaining from sex for ten or twenty days in a row?
As long as there is an opportunity and a secret push, this person will definitely reveal his ugliest side.
Gu Jiu said: "To solve this matter, we still need cousin Su's help. But the situation is a bit difficult, and I am afraid of wronging cousin Su."
Su Zheng quickly said, "Cousin, there's no need to be polite with me. I'm obliged to help you share your worries."
Gu Jiu laughed and bowed, "Thank you, cousin. The solution is very simple..."
Gu Jiu explained his methods one by one.
After hearing this, Su Zheng couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu a few more times.
The solution is very good and can almost solve the problem perfectly.
Gu Ting looked excited, "Just do as my sister said. Cousin Su, are you okay?"
Su Zheng nodded, "I have no problem with that. But this method requires a lot of money."
Gu Ting suddenly seemed to lack confidence.
A penny can make a hero stumble. Why didn't he think of saving some money in the past?
What to do now.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry about the money, cousin Su. I will take care of it. I'll also trouble Shunzi to keep an eye on Xie Xian."
"Don't worry, cousin. I'll have Shunzi keep an eye on Xie Xian without your instructions."
Gu Ting was anxious and curious, "Sister, how are you going to solve the money issue?"
Gu Jiu smiled confidently, "Don't worry, brother. In a few days, I will show you how I make money."
Huh?
Gu Ting widened his eyes, full of curiosity.
Gu Jiu said, "I'll keep it a secret for now, brother, please don't ask any more questions."
Su Zheng said, "I'm also curious about how my cousin can earn money."
Gu Jiu smiled but did not answer. "It's getting late. I should go back. Brother, remember, on the 15th of this month, you and I will go to the temple together to copy scriptures and worship mother."
"I know, and I dare not forget it."
Gu Jiu took the maid back to the inner courtyard.
Gu Jiu was very poor. It was the first time in his two lives that he was so poor, and he felt unhappy.
I never worried about money in my previous life, but as soon as I came here in this life, I have to worry about money.
The time-travel god was really shameless and refused to give her an identity of being rich and having free time.
In fact, in Gu Jiu's mind, there are many profitable businesses, but they all require a lot of capital.
Moreover, the cycle is long and requires long-term operation, which is not suitable for her current situation.
She now needs to make some quick money in a short period of time.
After much thought, she decided that medicine was her specialty, so she might as well sell prescriptions.
Who to sell it to?
Doctor Chen is too straightforward and not suitable.
Then sell it to Dr. Xu.
Doctor Xu treated her for six months and nearly killed her, but she never got even with him.
This is a rare opportunity, and I should settle the account with Dr. Xu.
Gu Jiu already had a complete plan in mind.
However, there are still a few things that need to be done before the plan can be implemented.
…
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu came to the upper room.
"Greetings to the Madam."
Xie smiled at Gu Jiu and said, "Second girl, you're here. Please sit down. Are you feeling better?"
It was really rare. This was the first time Xie spoke to her so gently.
As expected, because she was going to "marry" Xie Xian, Xie changed her attitude and became more patient and gentle towards her.
Gu Jiu sat down next to his elder sister Gu Zhen. "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'm feeling much better now. Doctor Chen prescribed a health-preserving prescription, and I'm taking it now."
Xie smiled and said, "That's good. You should take care of your health so that you won't be rejected when you propose marriage in the future."
Gu Jiu looked embarrassed, lowered his head, and sneered in his heart.
Xie really couldn't wait to marry her off.
Gu Yue laughed secretly, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
Obviously, she already knew that Xie was planning to marry Gu Jiu to Xie Xian.
Gu Jiu was in a good mood today and didn't want to waste his precious time dealing with Xie.
So she didn't bother to act and said directly, "Madam, since Mother's death anniversary is approaching, my brother and I plan to go to the temple on the fifteenth of this month to copy Buddhist scriptures and burn them in front of the Buddha for Mother. Please allow me to do so."
Xie said with a serious expression, "Second girl is very filial. Does the master know about this?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Brother has asked father for permission, and father agreed."
Mrs. Xie smiled, a very faint smile, as if her face was paralyzed. "Since the master has agreed, I have no objection. If you need anything prepared, just tell the housekeeper."
That short-lived Su was a ghost that lingered around. Even after more than a decade of death, he still annoyed her.
Gu Jiu is a sickly person, he must have mentioned Su's in front of her on purpose.
snort!
She refused to let them have their way.
Anyway, Su is dead, and Gu Jiu will marry Xie Xian.
In this mansion, no one can challenge her majesty. Anyone who dares to displease her will end up like Su Shi and Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu said, "Thank you, ma'am. I have to go back and get busy copying scriptures, so I'll take my leave now."
Xie hummed, "Second girl, don't tire yourself out."
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am."
Gu Jiu stood up and left the upper room with the maids.
Xie's face fell and she cursed inwardly: Little bitch!
In a blink of an eye, she started laughing again.
Gu Jiu, this sickly guy, is destined to be a short-lived ghost just like Su Shi.
