Chapter 762 Cousin, Brother-in-law Has Changed
Meng Yunlan was furious at his nonchalant attitude: "Fine, you're not going to ask for it, huh? If you're not going, I'll ask my mother to ask for it for me!"
"It's no use who goes."
"I don't believe it! You clearly refuse to stand up for me! Gu Qianling, you've changed. You're tired of me now and don't care about me at all!"
"Yunlan, calm down first. When have I ever stopped caring about you? Let's go back first, and we can discuss things slowly."
"I don't want to discuss anything. I want you to go find my second brother right now and get my nanny and maids back!"
Gu Qianling sighed, a wave of exhaustion washing over her once again.
His voice was slightly hoarse: "Okay, then I'll go find my second brother."
"real?"
"Okay, you can go back now!"
"Why did you suddenly agree to help me get people back?"
“If I don’t ask for it, you’ll say I don’t care about you.”
Meng Yunlan's expression softened considerably, and her voice became gentler: "Qianling, I didn't mean to argue with you. As you know, I'm usually very kind and understanding, and I always prioritize the big picture. I don't usually argue with people."
"But today my personal nanny and maid were taken away. I'm really worried about them. Granny Ping is old and can't take any more trouble. Shancha is timid and will cry at the slightest thing."
"If I, as their master, don't save them, who will? And if word gets out, everyone will think I'm incompetent, unable to even protect my own maids. Who will dare to be loyal to me then? How will I manage the household?"
Gu Qianling rubbed his temples, his face showing even more fatigue: "Alright, I know you're kind-hearted, and I know your difficulties. I'll go and call my second brother out right now, and I'll definitely get him back for you. You can go back now!"
After he finished speaking, he strode forward and walked towards Gu Qianhan's courtyard.
Meng Yunlan was completely unaware of his fatigue. As she watched him finally go to ask for the person, she gently tugged at the corner of her lips. Fortunately, she could still keep Gu Qianling under her control.
Behind them, a soft voice suddenly rang out: "My cousin is indeed skilled at managing her husband. With just a few words, she got him to obediently go to the Second Young Master to ask for her back."
Meng Yunlan turned around and sneered, "What kind of talk is that now? When Shen Wantang was gossiping and disgusting me, why were you pretending to be dead? What did I tell you before? Bringing you out to meet Gu Qianhan was to create an opportunity for you, wasn't it? Why didn't you take the opportunity to get close to him? You could have also disgusted Shen Wantang properly!"
Qiao Zhiyu lowered her head, cursing Meng Yunlan in her heart, but she spoke in a humble manner: "Cousin, you flatter me too much. I was so scared by what happened just now that I forgot everything. I don't have the knowledge and aura of you, cousin. You can be so calm and composed in front of someone like the Second Young Master, and you are not flustered at all in front of your brother-in-law. I was scared. Please forgive me this time."
Qiao Zhiyu's tone was sarcastic, but deep down she admired Meng Yunlan's ability to manipulate people.
If only she knew this trick, she wouldn't have to be so careful every time she sees Gu Qianling, afraid that she might do something wrong and make Gu Qianling dislike her.
"Cousin, look at you, so uncouth! Why are you so reserved? You are, after all, the eldest daughter of an official family. You may be inferior to me, but you are no less than Shen Wantang. She acts fearless, so your aura should not be inferior to hers!"
"Yes, yes, yes, my cousin is right. It's all my fault for being too timid. I will learn more from my cousin in the future."
"Alright, stop nagging. Go back first. Today isn't the right time. Go see Gu Qianhan another day and try to make a lasting impression on him."
"Yes, I will follow my cousin's arrangements."
Meng Yunlan nodded, barely satisfied with Qiao Zhiyu's obedience.
She led Qiao Zhiyu back, and as they walked, she whispered, "The more I look at Shen Wantang, the more suspicious I feel. Don't you think she's weird?"
Qiao Zhiyu thought to herself, "You're much more mysterious than Shen Wantang!"
"Yes, my cousin is right. That Shen Wantang is obviously no good. She's very scheming!"
"Even you noticed how scheming she is? Sigh, I knew she seemed a bit strange, turns out she's scheming! I didn't even realize it until my cousin said so. I thought she was just jealous of my relationship with Qianhan! You know, I always think the best of people. My biggest mistake is being too naive!"
Qiao Zhiyu secretly rolled her eyes. She knew it. Meng Yunlan was going to pin all the blame on her again, pretending to be innocent and naive. No wonder she described Shen Wantang as "weird"; she was just waiting for her to call her "scheming."
Fortunately, Qiao Zhiyu was already used to Meng Yunlan's behavior, so she responded very smoothly and naturally: "My cousin is a lady from a respectable family, so naturally she doesn't understand how scheming a woman like Shen Wantang from a humble background can be."
"Didn't you see? When she came back, she clearly saw you and the second young master, but she deliberately didn't go any further. She deliberately waited for her brother-in-law to come back from his shift and started chatting with him!"
"She's so shameless! Her husband is right there, but she won't go up and talk to him. Instead, she blocks her brother-in-law and chats with him about this and that. I bet she's talking badly about my cousin to him!"
Upon hearing what she said, Meng Yunlan's face immediately darkened.
She had seen Shen Wantang return long ago, but refused to move forward.
At first, she didn't understand why Shen Wantang did this. She thought that Shen Wantang was jealous and angry because she saw her talking to Gu Qianhan.
So she deliberately stopped Gu Qianhan from picking up Shen Wantang.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qianling also returned and even went to talk to Shen Wantang!
Only then did she realize that Shen Wantang was standing there waiting for Gu Qianling! The two of them then chatted very congenially, and didn't even notice when she and Gu Qianhan walked up to them!
Shen Wantang is so cunning and has such disgusting methods!
Seeing Meng Yunlan's expression change, Qiao Zhiyu knew her words had worked, so she pressed on, "Cousin, actually I have some doubts. Last time I came, I remember my brother-in-law was extremely good to you, always going along with you and putting you first. But this time, I feel like he... he..."
Meng Yunlan said coldly, "What exactly are you trying to say by stammering?"
"No, no, I just feel that my brother-in-law seems to be getting a little impatient with my cousin."
"Nonsense! I think you're blind. Qian Ling is still extremely good to me and always dotes on me!"
"Cousin, don't be angry. I'm not saying your husband is treating you badly. I just think that maybe after Shen Wantang married into the family, she started saying bad things about you to your husband, which is why he changed. Cousin, you have to take this seriously; it's not a small matter."
