Chapter 374 375. Leaving
Gu Lehuan had a sullen face and said nothing. He also ignored Da Zhuang who was in a daze and left in a hurry.
Da Zhuang looked at the receding figure with some disappointment and sighed silently in his heart. He wondered if the boss had any other way to deal with this dilemma?
Gu Lehuan ran back to the Gu Mansion in one breath, and the doorman told him that the masters had not returned yet, so he could only return to his own yard in disappointment.
Xu Nuo was also a little dazed when he heard Da Zhuang's report.
I don’t know if my insistence at that time was right. If I had really obeyed my mother’s arrangements, would the situation be different now?
She shook her head. What was the point of thinking about this now? Being trapped in the backyard like this and relying on servants to go out and buy things was not a long-term solution.
Only then did she realize how naive her previous thoughts were. If she continued like this, she would only have this last option.

Jin Qianqian took Li Cuicui out for a walk for most of the day, and only when Li Cuicui looked tired did they prepare to go home.
"We should have gone back a long time ago," Li Cuicui would cover her chest with her hands in pain after every shop she visited. This daughter-in-law was too good at making money go out one by one, which made her feel particularly sad, but she couldn't even open her mouth to blame her.
"These things are good, but they are too expensive," Li Cuicui knew that it was not good for her to say that. After all, her daughter-in-law bought them for her. She couldn't help but say, "A steady stream of money will keep you from worrying about disasters."
Jin Qianqian helped her get on the carriage. "Don't worry, your daughter-in-law can still afford this little money. Besides, these things can't be saved. You are the wife of an official now, so you have to have the proper pomp and ceremony."
Thinking that the old lady didn't bring anyone with her this time, Jin Qianqian knew that she sent such a small number of people to visit in order to save them money.
Although a maid and a servant were sent over to serve her yesterday, the old lady might not be happy with them.
Thinking that the family is still being taken care of by Mrs. Song, Jin Qianqian feels it is necessary to add more people to take care of the old lady.
"Mom, there's a dental shop up ahead that has a pretty good reputation. Let's go there and pick two servants for you."
Li Cuicui turned to look at Jin Qianqian, "There are maids in this house, and your sisters-in-law also ask the servants in the mansion to come over to help with chores every day, so there is no need to pick anyone else."
Jin Qianqian, "That's not convenient after all, and Mrs. Song alone may not be able to take care of you sometimes. If you have more people around to take care of you, we can feel more at ease."
"What's there to worry about? I lived well even without anyone to take care of me before.
It's not easy for you outside, so don't worry about us." Li Cuicui really saw that living in this city, you really have to spend money every time you step out of the door.
She had bought so many things before, but the seventh brother's wife had been stopping her from spending money, which made her feel even more uncomfortable. This trip was really causing trouble for the child.
Jin Qianqian didn't know what the old lady was thinking. She sat next to her and held her hand affectionately, "Mom, life was not easy before, and I couldn't honor you, but now your son has finally made it. I can't just watch you live a hard life like before.
Besides, you are now the wife of an official, and the other brothers and sisters-in-law are living well, so we are confident and can do whatever is comfortable for us. "
Li Cuicui naturally knew this truth, but after working hard all her life, she was a little uncomfortable with suddenly enjoying herself.
"Life is so much better now than before. Mom knows that all this is brought to our family by you two.
I'm telling you this, you've helped this family enough, from now on just take care of your own little family, if they come to cause you trouble, I'll take care of them."
Li Cuicui thought of Gu Yuanshui who had followed this time, "And your fourth brother, if it doesn't affect you, let him do it here by himself, but if he interferes with you, I will carry him back."
Jin Qianqian had always known that the old lady was a principled person. After hearing what he said, she had forgotten any slight dissatisfaction she had with Gu Yuanshui.
"There are opportunities everywhere in the capital. With Fourth Brother's intelligence, maybe he can handle it himself." Jin Qianqian comforted the old lady with a few more words, and coaxed the old lady to pick out two maids from the pawnshop.
Seeing that she chose two big and strong women instead of those young maids, Jin Qianqian asked curiously, "Aren't those maids good?"
Li Cuicui shook her head. "They are all good, each one is as beautiful as a flower, but our home is not suitable for them."
Jin Qianqian didn't know why, but the person that popped into her mind was Gu Dashi. She felt that her mother-in-law was on guard against her.
However, she couldn't express these suspicions out loud, so she found two more clever servants.
"Aren't there so many people in this mansion already? Aren't they enough?" Li Cuicui asked casually, but she was a little shocked in her heart. This was too grand.
Jin Qianqian, "I just asked, these two people grew up in Beijing and are familiar with this place.
I thought of assigning an errand boy to each of Fourth Brother and Le Huan, so that it would be more convenient for them to go in and out and do anything in the future?"
As for the other people in the mansion, most of them were cultivated by Gu Wenheng and her with great difficulty over the years. Each of them has his use, and Jin Qianqian is reluctant to give them away so easily.
"Why spend this money?" Li Cuicui could just take in two maids, but she couldn't let Jin Qianqian worry about the affairs of her uncle and nephew. "Your fourth brother has a lot of people working under him, but he didn't bring them out this time.
As for Le Huan, you also know your second sister-in-law, there is no need to worry about them."
It's not that she doesn't love her grandson, but if she assigns a servant to Le Huan, Wang Caiyue might sell him off later.
She was already familiar with her second daughter-in-law's character, and she didn't want there to be a rift between the two families over such a small matter.
Jin Qianqian, "But in Shangjing, we need someone who knows the place well to help run errands. If Fourth Brother and Le Huan are not used to it, just leave the person with me when you leave. I am not afraid of too many people here."
Since the seventh daughter-in-law had said so, Li Cuicui naturally would not refute it, but she regretted it again in her heart. How could she have thought that the less people she could bring, the easier it would be? If they had known earlier, they would have brought the maid and the long-term servant with them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home with a full load, only to find out when they got back that Gu Yuanshui had not returned yet, but Gu Lehuan had already returned.
"This child said he came here to look for someone. Could it be that he didn't find anyone?" Li Cuicui turned and looked at Jin Qianqian. "When you met them, did you notice anything unusual about this child?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head, "I haven't heard them mention it."
