If it is really as he thought, then...
Lei Yuting recalled the woman's face in his mind.
-
Gu Mansion
Gu Pianran's injuries were finally healed after applying a large amount of medicinal herbs.
Tang Jingyu will be returning to the court soon, but to her, it doesn’t matter whether he comes back or not.
"Miss, the Fourth Prince has sent you some more fruits." Dongmei brought up those precious fruits. These things were rare and ordinary wealthy families might not be able to eat them once.
The Fourth Prince often sent some to make up for it, but unfortunately the eldest lady didn't like it.
Gu Pianran looked at the fruits on the table, a sneer on her lips.
Trying to please her with this little thing really treats her as an ignorant woman.
Gu Pianran noticed that several maids were salivating over the fruit, so she waved her hand and said generously, "You can take these and eat them."
Dongmei and the other maids were shocked and said hurriedly, "Miss, this was specially given to you by His Highness. How dare we eat it?"
"If you dare not, then send them to your father and mother."
Looking at those fruits and vegetables, Gu Pianran felt irritated.
Dongmei ordered the people below to take away the fruits and vegetables, and told other interesting stories in a flattering manner.
Since that incident, the Gu family's business has plummeted. Compensating and treating the disfigured women has drained the family's resources. If it weren't for the money sent by Prince Jin, the Gu family would have sold all their land.
The eldest daughter was depressed because her family was once again in this predicament, and her body became thinner and thinner.
Gu Yun stepped forward and saluted Gu Pianran.
"How?" Gu Pianran asked.
Gu Yun's expression was not very good. "Miss, those merchants do not agree."
Gu Pianran's expression turned cold.
They had begged them one by one before, but now seeing the Gu family fall into decline, this is what happened.
These people will regret it sooner or later!
If she can turn Gu's company from nothing to this point, then she can come a second time.
"Miss, Young Master Gu Qing is back." Xia He walked forward.
"Let him in."
After a while, a tall figure appeared in the room. Gu Qing, who was once elegant and graceful, now looked haggard, and his blue clothes were full of wrinkles.
As soon as he entered the study, he knelt down and said, "Miss, Gu Qing has failed to live up to your expectations."
The business empire they had worked so hard to establish within the Great Zhou Dynasty was shattered by this incident. The Lei family and other businesses in the Great Zhou Dynasty took advantage of the situation and directly swallowed up all of Gu's assets.
If it weren't for the help of the eldest prince Hua Feiyu, Gu Qing and the others would probably have lost their lives there.
"This matter is not your fault. We fell into Lei's trap."
After the incident, Gu Pianran looked at the situation her family had reached. How could she not see that this was all a plot by the Lei family? They had first deliberately stopped sales, forcing them to invest heavily in production.
After they invested all their money, the news broke out that Gu's cream was poisonous, and they walked step by step into the trap they had set long ago. When the truth came to light, Gu's company had no way to repay or compensate, and could only sell off its property. They took the opportunity to take over and easily put Gu's property into their pockets.
The Lei family is really calculating!
The future is still long, and sooner or later she will make them pay back this debt a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
"You've been traveling so hard, go back and have a good rest." Gu Pianran said softly.
Gu Qing and Gu Yun left together.
