"Gu Yunran, you shameless bastard, come out here!"
Hearing the cursing voice, Gu Yunran frowned. Before she could open her mouth to chase the person away, the voice came closer.
"Get out of here, don't even try to stop me!"
A plump middle-aged woman with a pot-shaped waist walked in aggressively.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw the red wedding characters and reached out to tear them off as if she was stimulated.
Gu Yunran frowned unhappily and told Qianbi, "Hold her down."
Qianbi walked forward, twisted the woman's arm, and put her behind her back.
The lady screamed and said fiercely, "Let me go!"
Qianbi seemed not to hear and increased the strength in her hands, and the lady cried out in pain.
"Gu Yunran, are you rebelling? You even dare to attack your sister-in-law!"
Gu Yunran gestured to Qianbi to let her go, then looked at her wife and asked, "I don't know why sister-in-law is so angry. What did Yunran do wrong? You are so rude!"
Liu snorted coldly: "Where does my anger come from? Where does my anger come from?"
"My Qing'er's marriage was canceled because of you."
Liu pinched her waist and pointed at Gu Yunran, "I really don't know where in the world there is such a shameless person like you. It's against the virtues of a woman."
"If you are divorced by your husband's family, I will either kill myself or go to a nunnery and become a nun, spending my whole life with the Buddha. I will never bring trouble to my brothers and sisters."
"You actually married a second time?"
Gu Yunran frowned slightly. Divorcing Lu Qingzhou was indeed against women's virtues...
However, it was also because of the Lu family's unkindness and injustice that she was forced to leave the Lu family.
Moreover, she and Mu Qianchen were in love with each other, so it was her own ability that she could marry for the second time.
Gu Yunran took a deep breath. Instead of getting angry, she smiled and asked, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Why are you putting all the blame on Yunran?"
She glanced up at Gu Qing, who was standing behind Liu, and continued, "If Yun Ran remembers correctly, Sister Qing is already fourteen years old. Two years ago, Sister-in-law had already introduced her to many men, but no one was interested in her. Can you blame me?"
Liu opened and closed her mouth but couldn't find a word to refute.
Gu Qing's face was grim as she glared at Gu Yunran fiercely. Before she could speak, Gu Yunran continued, "Sister-in-law, instead of questioning me, why don't you find out who is delaying Sister Qing?"
"I heard that my sister-in-law has dirty hands and always takes something away from other people's banquets..."
Bang!
Liu's face flushed crimson as she angrily slammed the table, "Gu Yunran, stop slandering me!"
Gu Yunran was not angry either, she smiled faintly: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"
"Whether I have slandered you or not, you know best in your heart."
Liu's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head, not saying anything. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and said with a smile, "Yunran, I heard that Master Mu gave you a lot of good things in the betrothal gift."
Gu Yunran picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled faintly and said, "Yes."
"You have so many good things, you can't use them all yourself, give me some." Liu rubbed her hands and smiled, "You also know that your cousin is useless. The money he earns is not enough for the family."
Gu Yunran frowned: "If it's not enough for the family, you can embroider some and sell it to supplement the family income. Why are you asking me for it?"
Liu immediately stopped smiling and said with an unhappy look: "I am your sister-in-law. What's wrong with asking you for some money? It's only right that you show respect to me."
Gu Qing also said: "My mother is right. Second Aunt doesn't want much from you. Just a box of jewels and a thousand taels of gold."
Gu Yunran sneered at the two of them, "Do you two have belching syndrome?"
"Even if I want to show filial piety, I should show it to my own sister-in-law. Why are you, a cousin, trying to show off in front of me?"
"see a visitor out!"
Gu Yunran yelled, and Liu's mother and daughter were pushed out by Qianbi.
Liu was unwilling to leave, clinging to a pillar tightly, and kept shouting, "If I don't get the money today, I will crash into my death at your door."
"Qianbi, let her go." Gu Yunran stood up and walked towards Liu, pointing to the pillar next to him, "I want to see if you have the courage."
"Okay, I bumped into it." Liu said, and pretended to bump into the wall. However, she didn't get up after talking for a long time. She hesitated and wanted someone to pull her up, but Gu Yunran stood there with his arms folded across his chest, staring at Liu and watching the fun. The maids also didn't move.
After a long while without seeing Liu make any move, Gu Yunran chuckled, "Sister-in-law, do you need my help?"
"The girls in my yard all know some martial arts. Would you mind helping you?"
Then she told Ruizhu: "Sister-in-law is afraid of pain, go help her, and be quick."
"I know."
Ruizhu walked up behind Liu and was about to kick her in the butt when Liu ran out in a panic, cursing as she ran: "Gu Yunran, you are so uneducated, this will not end well."
Liu ran out quickly and sat down on the ground. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her body was shaking. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face, and her face was gloomy.
She didn't expect that Gu Yunran was not threatened at all, which almost made her suffer a setback.
Gu Qing ran out slowly, panting as she looked at her mother, her face full of resentment: "I told you not to come here and bring bad luck upon yourself, but you refused to listen. Now, not only have you been humiliated, you almost lost your life."
"What do you know?" Liu glared at her daughter. She once again looked at the vermilion gate and snorted coldly, "She'll be in trouble tomorrow."
He stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, and pulled Gu Qing with him, "Let's go, someone will take care of her tomorrow."
"What does this mean, mother?" Gu Qing was surprised.
"Don't ask so many questions." Liu was a little impatient. She pulled Gu Qing into the carriage and told the coachman, "Go to Tianxiang Tower."
Tianxianglou was a tavern, frequented by the wealthy and the noble. Liu brought Gu Qing in and ordered a large table of food and wine. She said to Gu Qing, "You eat first. I'll be right back upstairs."
Gu Qing nodded without thinking and said, "Okay."
Liu went straight to a private room on the third floor, stood at the door and knocked three times, and a crisp sound came from inside.
"Come in."
The door opened from the inside and Liu walked in.
"Is it done?" A woman's voice came. She was sitting in the dark. The light in the room was very dim and the woman's face could not be seen clearly.
Liu nodded respectfully: "Alright."
The woman threw a bag of silver to Liu and said, "This is what you deserve. Go."
"yes."
Liu walked away humming a little tune, holding a heavy bag of silver in her hand and smiling happily.
