Chapter 007: Plan Failed
"Brother Xuan, in our mansion, the monthly allowance for the young masters and young ladies is two taels. Mother has stuffed it into your bag and brought it with you. Mother can only help you up to this point. If you can't make ends meet, borrow some money from your good friends, especially those who give you advice. Since they can give you advice, they naturally have to be responsible for your future life. Otherwise, they are irresponsible if they just talk but don't do anything. Do you understand? Okay, take the bag and leave quickly before it's locked. Mother won't see you off!"
When he was pushed out of the door, Gu Zixuan was still confused.
He thought of all kinds of possibilities, but he never thought that his own mother would pack up the money and send him out.
Why don't you send me off, mother? Do you know what your son is doing now? I am running away from home, not going out to eat!
Gu Zixuan was a little overwhelmed, but the door of Liuting Pavilion had slammed shut behind him and was even locked.
“…”
What's wrong? Do you think your son is a monster? Are you so impatient to drive him away? Mother, didn't you always say that you loved me even if you beat me and scolded me? You liar!
The boy was speechless.
The evening breeze was cool, blowing gently on Gu Zixuan. The young man shivered and stood dejectedly at the door of Liuting Pavilion, like a dog that had lost its home. After thinking for a long time, he finally discovered something.
Two taels of silver a month seems not enough to spend.
His expenses for a trip to Baihua Tower were more than two taels, and this amount of money was not enough for him to go see Mu Yanluo.
Thinking again about what his mother had said, that the person who gave the idea must be responsible, he somehow ended up at Lin Xiaoniang's Luoxuexuan.
Lin Wanhui and Gu Zilu were both sitting in the house waiting for Gu Zixuan to run away from home, but who would have thought that when they looked up they would see the young man standing in front of their door.
“…”
????
What is happening? ?
The mother and son looked at each other guiltily. Fortunately, Lin Wanhui reacted quickly. She smiled and came over and said, "Xuan brother, what's the matter?"
Gu Zixuan nodded seriously: "Little girl, I will listen to your advice. I am going to run away from home!"
Lin Wanhui and her son’s eyes lit up. Great, something is finally going to happen. Hahaha!
"Then what are you doing..."
You ran away from home, why are you coming here?
Gu Zixuan spread out his palms: "I don't have enough money, little girl, lend me some money, not too much, one hundred or eighty taels is enough!"
“…”
“…”
“…”
…
wipe!!!
Lin Wanhui clenched her handkerchief tightly.
One hundred and eighty taels? My goodness, let alone whether she has so much money, even if she does, she won't give it to Gu Zixuan. This man is not her biological son. Gu Ziyun is her biological son.
Besides, Su Jin was a lady from a wealthy family, her family had plenty of money, and she was just from a small family. The most money she had ever seen in her life was in the Marquis' Mansion...
The more Lin Wanhui thought about it, the angrier she became. Why did Su Jin always get all the good things? She was born beautiful and married well. Humph!
She frowned slightly and looked up into Gu Zixuan's innocent big eyes. The 16-year-old boy was between ignorance and self-righteousness. He looked at her with sparkling eyes, as if she was his savior.
Lin Wanhui twitched her lips and wanted to say something, otherwise, let’s not run away from home.
"Well, what about Brother Xuan? I think you should not run away from home..."
If you run away from home and take so much money with you, what's the point of running away from home?
"No, I must run away from home!" Gu Zixuan was so straightforward: "I want to prove to my mother that I really love Mu Yanluo. I am not a child. I can be responsible for my actions. I must run away from home!!"
Lin Wanhui and her son: …
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like I had shot myself in the foot.
"Well, didn't the lady give you any money?"
Isn't it unreasonable that I don't even give my own mother anything?
"I gave it to you, but I'm running away from home, so the more money the better. Girl, didn't you say you support me? If you support me, then give me a hundred or eighty taels, just as a token of your appreciation."
Gu Zixuan was used to spending money lavishly, so one hundred or eighty taels of silver was not a lot of money in his eyes. A trip to Baihua Tower cost him three to five taels of silver, so one hundred or eighty taels was only enough for him to splurge for half a month.
Although he spoke frankly, Lin Wanhui's heart was bleeding. When she came to her senses, she found that she had already pulled Gu Zixuan's sleeve and started to persuade him earnestly.
"Brother Xuan, how would I know that you were going to run away from home? If I had known, I would never have supported you. It's not worth it for a prostitute. Let's not ruin our bright future..."
Gu Ziyun beside him was stunned. No, Mom, that's not what you just said! !
"There's no point in talking. I've made up my mind. I have to leave today, whether I want to or not. Girl, give me the money!"
Gu Zixuan took the risk and used the same attitude as before to ask his mother for money. He looked so rude and arrogant, as if he would not leave today if Lin Wanhui didn't give him money.
Seeing this stubborn look, Lin Wanhui was so angry that her teeth were itching. One could imagine how much anger her original self had endured at the hands of her own son. But now it was Su Jin's turn. It was impossible for her to continue to endure the anger. She would just pack up her son and throw him away. Whoever wanted to be angry could be angry. Anyway, she was not angry about this anymore.
So, now Lin Wanhui became the one who was bullied, and she really wanted to beat up the young man in front of her.
After all, she really didn't want to give Gu Zixuan a penny!
Lin Wanhui tried to persuade him for half an hour, her mouth was dry, and she used all kinds of reasons, but it was no use. Gu Zixuan became more and more stubborn, and in the end he would rather die than surrender. Lin Wanhui was so angry that she raised her hand, but she put it down forcefully.
No, I can’t hit her. If I hit her, the image I worked so hard to build in front of the old lady will be ruined!
Although the old lady didn't like Su Jin, she still liked her eldest grandson very much.
Lin Wanhui was so angry that her teeth were itching, but fortunately a maid came running in from outside the door and rescued her.
"My dear, my dear, something bad has happened. Miss An is about to give birth!"
Lin Wanhui's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed. Here comes the savior! !
"So soon? Didn't they say it would take some time? Let's go over and take a look!"
After saying that, he ignored Gu Zixuan and turned around and ran away with the old woman.
"Ah, ah, little girl, what about me, what about me!"
Gu Zixuan stood on tiptoe and shouted, but Lin Wanhui seemed not to hear him and ran even faster.
Gu Zixuan curled his lips and looked back. The only person in charge of Luoxuexuan now was Gu Ziyun.
So he smiled at his second brother and said, "Ziyun, we have the best relationship, you have to help your brother..."
“…”
Gu Ziyun coughed awkwardly and walked out: "I have to go outside to find a midwife, brother, human life is at stake!"
After saying that, he slipped away.
Gu Zixuan was abandoned again: ...
What's going on? Is his plan to run away from home going to fail? ?
