Chapter 650 Sister, are you going to lead them in a rebellion?
Back in the carriage at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the atmosphere was terribly depressing.
Gu Qingchen was held tightly in Chu Ruohan's arms, and the hand covering her mouth showed no sign of loosening.
Qian Zhenyun huddled in the corner of the carriage, trying to reduce his presence, fearing that he would be taken out on others.
Chu Ruohan's chest heaved violently, clearly furious. She glared at Gu Junze, who remained calm and composed, her voice piercing through her teeth.
"Gu Junze! You can still laugh!"
"Listen to what she said! Impotence? Where did she learn these nonsense words?!"
Gu Junze finally suppressed the smile in his eyes, reached out to hold his wife in his arms, and patted her back gently.
"The palace is a big melting pot, and I'm just influenced by what I see and hear."
"Influenced by what she sees and hears?" Chu Ruohan was almost amused by his nonchalant attitude. "If she continues to be influenced by this, next time she will ask the Emperor in front of the entire court what postures he should use to favor his concubines!"
When Gu Qingchen in her arms heard this, his body stiffened, and he seemed to think this was a good idea.
Chu Ruohan felt her daughter's unusual movement and increased the strength in her hands, causing her to make a series of "mumbling" sounds of protest.
The carriage slowly drove into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The housekeeper and servants in the mansion had already been waiting at the door. When they saw the carriage return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Ruohan held her still struggling daughter and said to Gu Junze without turning her head: "You deal with her, I don't want to see her!"
After saying that, she threw the hot potato to Gu Junze and walked quickly towards the main house.
Gu Junze held Gu Qingchen's collar with one hand, like holding a kitten, and said to Qian Zhenyun, who was looking terrified, "Go back. Your mother misses you too."
Qian Zhenyun was as if he had been pardoned, and he crawled away after Gu Chengan.
Inside the main house.
Chu Ruohan picked up the hot tea offered by the maid and drank it in one gulp, only then did she suppress the anger in her heart a little.
As soon as she put down her teacup, she ordered the maid beside her, "Go, call the steward Qin Fang."
But a moment later, Qin Fang hurried over and bowed: "Madam, you are looking for me."
"Well," Chu Ruohan's expression had returned to her usual gentleness, but her eyes still held a hint of fatigue. "The matter of Jinguan City needs to be implemented as soon as possible."
Qin Fang immediately took out a pen and paper, stood aside with his hands hanging down, and prepared to take notes.
"As for Granny Sun, we'll find her a quiet, two-story courtyard in the south of the city, and assign her two clever maids to serve her. In the future, she'll be the master weaver of our Chu Chamber of Commerce, and her monthly stipend will be the highest."
"Yes." Qin Fang wrote it down quickly.
Chu Ruohan paused, then remembered something and continued, "Her little grandson is in poor health. You should go there in person and take him to Doctor Qian's clinic. Tell Doctor Qian to use the best medicine and keep the consultation fee in your pocket."
Qin Fang's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded heavily: "Madam, you are so kind, I will do it right away."
"Finally," Chu Ruohan's eyes grew sharper, the aura of the head of the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce inadvertently revealed, "Send the Shu brocade we brought back from Jinguan City to the shop in Jiangcheng immediately."
"Tell the shopkeeper in Jiangcheng to lower the price. I want the people of Jiangcheng to know that from now on, Shu brocade is no longer an exorbitantly priced item that is beyond their reach."
This is not only to break the monopoly of Chen Taimo and others, but also to enable craftsmen like Grandma Sun to truly live a decent life based on their own abilities.
Qin Fang's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this. He knew that his wife's decision would bring an unprecedented shock to the entire Jiangnan silk market.
"I understand!" He bowed solemnly, "I will definitely live up to your trust, Madam!"
After Qin Fang left, Chu Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her swollen temples.
After dealing with these important matters, her tense nerves relaxed a little, but when she thought of what her daughter had done, the headache came back again.
Just then, Gu Junze walked in from outside.
"Where are the people?" Chu Ruohan asked.
"Kneel in the ancestral hall." Gu Junze sat down beside her and poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Chu Ruohan took the tea but didn't drink it. She just looked at her husband with a complicated look in her eyes: "Aren't you angry? She even dares to say such cruel words in public now."
Gu Junze looked at her with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"She was able to turn the palace upside down, leaving the entire court speechless with indignation, and yet she was able to escape unscathed. Don't you think this is very much like you?"
Chu Ruohan was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
She recalled when her parents gave up power and handed over the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce to her.
When facing those elders in the clan and business rivals who relied on their seniority and had ulterior motives, the methods he used seemed to be even more ruthless than Qingchen's in the palace.
She was suddenly at a loss for words and raised her hand to hit Gu Junze.
"Nonsense! I'm not as lawless as her!"
Gu Junze held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, his voice low and gentle.
"As long as I'm here, she can do whatever she wants."
Gu Qingchen knelt all night.
The next day, when she was stuffed into a carriage and sent back to Bailu Academy, she looked completely exhausted, with big dark circles under her eyes, and her knees throbbing with pain when she walked.
As soon as she stepped into the academy gate, the originally bustling courtyard suddenly became silent.
All the classmates looked over at once, then turned away as if they had seen a ghost.
Especially since Shen Yu had a bruised face and walked with a limp. When he saw Gu Qingchen, he was so scared that he almost turned around and ran away.
I finally made it to the end of school.
Gu Qingchen was about to slip away when his way was blocked by a group of people.
Qian Zhenyun was pushed by several half-grown boys and stood at the front, looking embarrassed.
Behind him, Shen Yu had a sad face, his face covered with tears and snot.
"Gu Qingchen, it's all your fault!" Chen Yu stumbled forward, her voice tinged with tears as she accused him, "My father listened to you and, when he got home, he hung me from the beam and beat me! He said I was bringing disgrace to the family and was talking nonsense!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, several sons of ministers nearby found their backbone and began to complain.
"My father punished me by making me kneel for a whole day and night, and I didn't even get any dinner!"
"My mother locked me in the house and said she would never let me play with you again!"
"My father also said that if I talk nonsense again, he would send me to the countryside!"
A group of children were crying, the scene was so miserable.
Gu Qingchen listened to these accusations, not only did he not feel guilty, but he frowned.
She put her hands on her hips, waved her little hands, and like a big sister, called all the crying kids to her side.
"Why are you crying? You're useless!"
"You guys are stupid! Can't you run away when you're beaten? Can't you pretend to faint when you're punished to kneel?"
The group of children were stunned and stared at her blankly.
Gu Qingchen looked at their clueless appearance and felt a little disappointed.
"I'm telling you, when my parents punish me, I pretend to be sick. I have a stomachache, I feel dizzy, I have blurred vision, anything!"
She puffed out her chest and proudly shared her experience.
"As soon as I lie down on the ground and close my eyes, they won't dare touch me! Try it next time. Remember, if you cry, make a fuss, and then threaten to commit suicide, adults will be fooled by you!"
yes!
Why didn’t they think of it!
Chen Yu was the first to react. He wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and the look he gave Gu Qingchen turned into full of admiration.
"Boss! We'll be following you from now on!"
"Yes! Boss!"
"Boss, teach us a few tricks!"
The other children also responded, looking at Gu Qingchen with frighteningly bright eyes.
At this moment, Gu Qingchen's reputation as the little devil quietly upgraded.
She became the veritable "king of children" in Bailu Academy.
Qian Zhenyun, who was standing aside, looked at this group of classmates who were instantly turned against the party, and his cousin who was standing with her hands on her hips and a smug look on her face. He silently raised his hand and covered his forehead.
Sister, are you going to lead them in a rebellion?
