"What's wrong with you kneeling down? Do you know you're wrong? You shouldn't regret it?"
Gu Qingcheng blinked her big, ignorant eyes and asked three questions in a row.
But her question was a million miles away from the truth.
Qian’s husband: …
How should I answer this question?
Mrs. Cui gave him a cold look.
Qian's husband shuddered again.
Perhaps it was at this critical moment that this man unleashed all his potential and became exceptionally intelligent.
He immediately understood what Mrs. Cui meant and quickly agreed with Gu Qingcheng, nodding his head repeatedly. "Yes! I, I'm just jealous of your business making money, so I came here to regret it!"
"Well, to, to make amends, I am willing to—"
When he said this, Qian's husband secretly looked at Mrs. Cui's expression.
Seeing that Mrs. Cui's face was gloomy and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, he was not sure for a moment.
After hardening his heart and gritting his teeth, the man said, "I am willing to give you two taels of silver as a gift..."
Before he could utter the word "compensation", Qian's husband felt a low pressure emanating from Mrs. Cui.
The noble man’s meaning is very clear, two taels is not enough!
"Oh no, it's, it's twenty taels!"
Woo woo, the man's heart was bleeding. Their family had saved for all these years, relying on exploiting Xiaocao and Qian's scheming, to have a savings of twenty taels of silver.
How could Qian's husband bear to give it to someone else so easily?
But Mrs. Cui was still not satisfied, she just snorted coldly!
Qian's husband instinctively shuddered.
He raised his head and happened to meet Mrs. Cui's cold and cruel gaze.
The man almost stopped breathing, and he completely understood what he was thinking in his heart, which he had not hidden from Mrs. Cui at all.
Mrs. Cui is angry, and the consequences will be very serious!
In Qian's husband's mind, the miserable scene of his wife being beaten to pieces emerged.
No!
no!
I can't end up like Qian!
It’s all Gu’s fault!
He even didn't tell anyone about the fact that he was trying to curry favor with a noble lady like the wife of the county magistrate!
This caused me to have thoughts that I shouldn't have had, and now I have angered Mrs. Cui. I'm going to be skinned alive if I don't die.
Closing his eyes tightly, Qian's husband said in despair, "Besides the twenty taels of silver, there are also thirty mu of land in my family. All of it must be compensated to my cousin's wife!"
He plotted against Gu's mother and son, trying to make Gu "lose money" by selling houses and land.
Now, he had no choice but to take out all his family assets to appease the noble man!
When Mrs. Cui saw the thin man with a dejected look on his face, she knew that this was the bottom line.
Well, let him go this time.
If you dare to have the intention of harming others again in the future, you will not be so lucky.
Gu Qingcheng continued blinking, looking confused.
what happened?
I didn't say a word, so why did the other party ask me to pay compensation in the form of silver and land?
Gu Qingcheng twisted her handkerchief, a look of uneasiness on her beautiful little face.
Just like a child who got into trouble.
She said shyly, "Actually, there's no need to be like this! You just need to admit your mistake and give me the money I deserve!"
Qian's husband suddenly raised his head and stared at Gu Qingcheng in disbelief: This stupid woman, how could she be so cruel?
I've already paid the money and the land as compensation, but you still think it's not enough and want me to give you more than one hundred and sixty taels of silver?
However, Mrs. Cui and Zhao Qingyun understood what Gu Qingcheng meant.
As "naive" as Gu was, she had no idea that Qian had been arrested, nor did she know that the good business she had been dreaming of had long since come to nothing.
She just wanted to get back her principal plus dividends according to the "agreement".
A flicker of determination flashed in Qian's husband's eyes. Damn it, if this stupid woman doesn't leave me a way out, I'll—
Seeing that the man was about to explode, Mrs. Cui did not let the situation develop.
She coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Sister Gu, you don't know that Qian is really a liar."
"Not only did she deceive you, she also deceived many people. Fortunately, the county magistrate was very perceptive and discovered this bitch's crime. She has been taken into custody!"
Gu Qingcheng opened her eyes wide and her mouth became an "O" shape.
Then, her face was bruised and tears fell down. "My cousin is a liar? Then, what about my money?"
As she cried and spoke, Gu Qingcheng looked like a child who had done something wrong, stealing glances at Zhao Qingyun with a guilty conscience.
Mrs. Cui: ...It is "rare" to be a mother as accomplished as Mrs. Gu.
Zhao Qingyun’s face was numb:… You’re not angry at all. I’ve really gotten used to it.
"Don't worry! Since the county magistrate has caught the liar, he will certainly not let the victim suffer any loss!"
Mrs. Cui, a veteran beauty-obsessed woman, simply can't bear to see a beautiful woman sad.
Ahem, even though Gu looked like a tearful pear blossom in the rain, she was still very pretty.
She endured the regret of not being able to continue to appreciate this scene and said to Gu Qingcheng, "Speaking of which, the county lord was able to solve the case thanks to you, my sister!"
"You are the chaste woman he personally declared. He ordered people to secretly keep an eye on you and your two children, fearing that someone would bully you."
"After the Qian family came to you, the county magistrate discovered it, and then followed the clues and solved this fraud case..."
Mrs. Cui's lies and nonsense made Gu Qingcheng burst into laughter and her pretty face turned red.
"Really! Oh, the county magistrate is indeed a good man! He is diligent in his work and loves the people. He is a very good official!"
After Gu Qingcheng was surprised, she was filled with gratitude.
