Chapter 202 203. The Morning of Departure
Jin Qianqian stroked the red deed in her hand and asked, "What about the managers in the village? Have they all been replaced?"
Gu Wenheng, "Ye Yi should be sending some new indentures in a little while. They will help manage the village temporarily. When we have more manpower, we will send new managers over."
When they really needed manpower, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian would realize that their foundation was shallow.
In addition, this time his own manor and personnel were exchanged just like that. It might be because they were insignificant that the other party could make such a request without any scruples.
Jin Qianqian noticed the fatigue on his face and said, "Don't think about it for now. You've been running around outside all day and you haven't had a good meal. I'll ask the kitchen to bring some soup."
Gu Wenheng stretched out his hand to stop her, "Don't bother, I just came back from Tianfu Restaurant after having dinner."
Bai Jinglie had hosted a banquet to apologize, and he had very impolitely ordered a large table of signature dishes, so much so that his stomach was already full.
"Butler Fu has told you about the Le family, right?" Jin Qianqian mentioned this when Gu Wenheng came out of the shower.
Gu Wenheng hugged her and leaned on the chaise longue, "I told you, I have someone watching him, no matter if he changes his mind tomorrow, he will be thrown into the carriage and taken away.
I thought too simply before. If I really let him stay here alone, and something goes wrong in the future, we will be held accountable.
Since we are his elders, we have the right to decide whether he stays or leaves."
Gu Wenheng also put himself in the right position in his heart. Since the family relationships had to be improved, he naturally had to make more appropriate arrangements for his nephews.
"I just hope that he can really see clearly this time and stop causing trouble for us." Jin Qianqian put her arm around his waist and buried her head in his neck. "I've lived comfortably here for so long, I really don't want to leave."
Gu Wenheng's hands began to get busy. "When we have a chance in the future, we can come and stay for a while. It's getting late now, so let's not waste this beautiful moonlight."
“…”

Jin Qianqian was awakened by the noise in the mansion. Looking at the light coming in through the window, she touched her side and found a trace of warmth still left in the quilt.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, took a deep breath, sat up from the bed, rubbed his sore waist, and waited until he had recovered before standing up and getting dressed.
She had just finished getting dressed when Qingmei's voice rang out at the door, "Madam, are you awake?"
"Come in!"
"Madam, would you like to wash up first?" Following Qingmei in came Qingzhu and Qinglan, each of them holding toiletries in their hands.
Jin Qianqian also knew that she couldn't delay today, so she quickly got herself ready.
"Have you packed all your things?"
"It's all packed up and put in the carriage."
"Come on, let's go out and take a look. Don't follow me. If you can help, go and help."
Although I had made preparations early on, when the moment finally came, I was inevitably a little flustered.
As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I saw Gu Wenheng standing there with his hands behind his back.
As soon as I got closer, I heard his cold voice, "Go tie up Gu Lejia and throw him directly on the carriage. If he wants to make trouble, stuff a piece of cloth in his mouth."
Butler Fu quickly pointed at the two servants and said that with the guarantee, it would be easier for them to do their job.
"What's going on again?"
Gu Wenheng turned to look at Jin Qianqian, frowning, "Why did you get up so early? Did we disturb you?"
I wanted to let her sleep a little longer and then call someone when the time was almost up.
Jin Qianqian, "We can rest in the carriage later. What's going on at the Le family?"
"Just now Tianbao went to wake him up, but he turned out to be quite irritable. He scolded Hong Tianbao and then went back to sleep with his head covered." Gu Wenheng shook his head, "Some things are broken from the root."
Even if he wants to help some people, he has to consider whether it is worth it.
"Xiuniang hasn't come yet," Jin Qianqian guessed that the Gu Le family was having trouble with something, "Why don't we send someone to go over there."
Gu Wenheng, "Don't be soft-hearted when you meet this kind of person in the future. If she doesn't come over now, she may be thinking of taking advantage of the situation and waiting for the Le family to come back and beg her."
Jin Qianqian seemed to be thinking about something. "But if we take them away without any care, it won't be long before some rumors start to spread here. If it doesn't work, let someone clean up the mess."
Gu Wenheng nodded and said, "I'll have someone keep an eye on it."
As they were talking, Gu Lejia was tied up and carried past them.
When he saw Gu Wenheng, his whole body struggled hard and made a whimpering sound.
Gu Wenheng, "Don't forget, I'm your seventh uncle. If you dare to make trouble again, no one will dare to say anything even if I break your legs."
Gu Lejia's pupils dilated as he looked at his seventh uncle's serious eyes. He didn't dare to gamble. When he came to his senses, he had been stuffed into the carriage.
Jin Qianqian turned around and glanced around the yard, "You guys just help us guard this yard here, and we will send people to check on it every quarter.
If there is anything you cannot handle, you can go to Boss Ye first."
Now everyone in the mansion knew that the owner of this house had business dealings with the shopkeeper under the son of Marquis Wu'an. Yang Muxiu, the steward who stayed here, nodded repeatedly.
Everything that needed to be explained had been explained in these days. Even though Jin Qianqian was reluctant to leave this courtyard and this city, she got on the carriage with the help of Gu Wenheng.
"It's going to be a bit of a big deal when we go back this time." Jin Qianqian opened the curtain and looked at the still dim sky outside.
In this trip, in addition to the two carriages that they modified themselves, they rented eight more from the carriage dealership. These ten carriages lined up were enough to attract attention.
The number of people who returned also increased from two to dozens.
The soap-making servants and their tools filled six carriages.
"You'll get used to it slowly." Gu Wenheng looked at the sky and felt worried. "It won't rain today, will it?"
At this moment, Jin Qianqian seemed to hear Song Xiuniang's voice.
"Listen, is there someone shouting?"
Gu Wenheng lifted the curtain and asked Hong Da, who was sitting outside driving the car, "What's going on?"
Hong Da quickly stopped the carriage and looked at his son beside him, "Tianbao, go and take a look."
Hong Tianbao jumped and quickly landed on the side of the road, jogging back the way he came.
"Wait, stop now, please stop now." The miserable cries sounded particularly harsh in the early morning.
This time, there was no need to wait for Hong Tianbao to come back and report the news, as Gu Wenheng and the others already knew who the visitor was.
"I didn't expect he would come anyway," Jin Qianqian didn't know whether to be thankful or worried. If she brought such a person back home, there would probably be trouble in her eldest brother's family in the future.
