Chapter 267: Feeling Super Good
Chapter 267: Feeling Super Good
"Your father is gone, and it's my turn next. I'm too old to take care of things, and now all of this is because of Lin Wanhui. Jin'er, I'm so miserable. I'm miserable because there's no one at home to support me, and because of that bastard Gu Changqing. Why must Lin Wanhui be the only choice? What's so good about this vixen, huh?"
Su Jin sneered in his heart.
You indulged your son, which led to this situation. If you really wanted to sell her, she was just a concubine. Even if Zou Shi disposed of her regardless of Gu Changqing, people outside would not say anything. After all, filial piety was important in ancient times. And the concubine Zou Shi sold was a bad person. People outside would only applaud and would never say anything bad about Zou Shi.
However, Zou doted on her son and believed whatever her son said. Su Jin did not comment and even wanted to roll his eyes.
Seeing that Su Jin didn't say anything, Zou continued, "I know I wronged you in the beginning. You wanted to leave the house, and mother didn't stop you. But, but... this vixen, how can I get rid of her?"
Zou still wanted to invite Su Jin back. It would be best to let Su Jin deal with Lin Wanhui. After all, Su Jin had suppressed Lin Wanhui before, which was why this concubine couldn't get up.
But now, Su Jin was seriously ill, and she couldn't say it directly, so she beat around the bush, hoping that Su Jin would volunteer himself.
But Su Jin is not stupid. The fishhook is right in front of her, and she doesn't even put out any bait, so she wants to take the bait?
Bah, wishful thinking!
Not only did Su Jin not bite the bait, she also tried to speak: "Mother, I have something to say, ahem, I don't know whether I should say it or not..."
Zou was delighted, thinking that Su Jin wanted to volunteer to come back to help with the housekeeping and let her son live a few more years. However, after Su Jin coughed, he said calmly.
"Mother, let me be frank. There is no such thing as a long-lasting love for a man..."
Su Jin lowered her head and coughed, her expression becoming even uglier. She acted so convincingly that Zou wanted to subconsciously get up and pour Su Jin a cup of hot water, for she was really afraid that she would cough to death.
"At the beginning, Changqing and I were in love, but in the end, I still lost to Lin Wanhui. However, in the future, there will definitely be Zhao Wanhui and Liu Wanhui who will fall in love with someone else. It's only a matter of time..."
Mrs. Zou was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't help but look Su Jin up and down with her old eyes.
She suspected that Su Jin was plotting against her, but she had no evidence.
However, people like Zhao Wanhui and Liu Wanhui are indeed possible.
Su Jin's words touched Zou's heart. The old lady was filled with joy and exclaimed that it was a great kindness.
Su Jin twitched her lips. In their era, "kind" was not a nice word.
Gu Zhao's condolences were messed up by Lin Wanhui, but fortunately Gu Sui Yu came out in time to coordinate.
Gu Suiyu sent out only the best maids in the housekeeping department, and several of them immediately replaced the incompetent maids, including Lin Wanhui's sister-in-law Qiu.
Qiu was not happy about being replaced. She had taken advantage of many things since she entered the Marquis' Mansion. Now that she was transferred away, how could she take advantage of them in the future?
She can take all the snacks and fruits on the table back home later!
Qiu was unhappy and shouted, "Who asked you to come?"
"It's the fourth girl."
"Ha!" Mrs. Qiu laughed directly: "Mrs. Lin has the final say in this family, not the Fourth Young Lady. If you have the guts, ask the Fourth Young Lady to come and talk to me herself!"
The two maids looked at each other, and when they looked up again, they saw Gu Sui Yu and Mother Wen coming in together.
The maids bowed and saluted, while Qiu turned her head away arrogantly. However, the person who came towards her was not the easy-to-bully Gu Sui Yu, but a slap from Mother Wen.
“Bang!”
A slap hit Qiu's face hard. Qiu was dumbfounded. She covered her face and took a few steps back. She felt her face swelling up quickly.
"you……"
Mother Wen doesn't tolerate her. If she fails to handle it properly at this time, someone from the Marquis' Mansion might be in trouble!
"What are you talking about? You are not worthy of being a wild person here. Who the hell are you? How dare you speak to the young lady in the mansion like that? Get out!"
Qiu was speechless, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "This is what Lin Xiaoniang ordered. This family is not under the control of the fourth lady!"
"It's time now. Come, tie her up and throw her into the woodshed!"
What, what, go straight into the woodshed?
Qiu still wanted to struggle, but the old woman behind Wen Mama had already rushed over, tied her up and threw her into the woodshed.
Soon, Gu Sui Yu took over everything, and everything finally ran normally. The expressions on the guests' faces finally looked better.
Looking at Gu Suiyu's busy figure, even Dou Qin couldn't help but nod.
I don’t know what the people in the Marquis’ Mansion were thinking. They rejected Meiyu and left behind a piece of rotten stone. Now the mansion has become like this, and the family still has to rely on the daughter taught by Meiyu to support it.
"The fourth young lady of the Marquis's Mansion is really good!"
"Yes, she is capable, good at housekeeping, and good at business. She even donated all the annual profits from her shops and farms to support the war in the northwest. Among women in the world, the fourth girl is the best in terms of talent and ambition!"
"Her mother must have taught her well. If someone from the Marquis' Mansion had taught her, she wouldn't have been taught well!"
The guests were talking about Gu Suiyu's busy back, and many of them had approval and satisfaction in their eyes.
Some people have even begun to express regret.
"If I had known earlier, I would have married into the Marquis's Mansion. The fourth young lady is really good."
The woman was generous, dignified, elegant, and very capable. At the banquet, everyone remembered Gu Zixuan and Gu Zilu, but no one remembered Gu Suiyu. However, this is the best thing for a woman.
A woman who does not show off her abilities, does not seek to be competitive, but secretly has the ability and capital, is what all men dream of.
Many people shook their heads and sighed. Unfortunately, the young master of the Grand Princess's Mansion got there first.
What a nice girl.
"Humph, what are you regretting? Last year, weren't you the ones spreading bad things about the fourth girl, saying that she and Lin Yousheng were having an affair? Can't you marry her even if you kill me?"
Some people couldn't help but complain, and the guests who were chatting shook their heads.
"It's different now and then!"
"Yes, and speaking of what happened last year, the fourth girl was just being true to her nature. What was wrong with her?"
"It's all Lin Yousheng's fault. He's the bastard!"
Well, when a woman becomes capable and powerful, even everyone’s reputation of her changes, and all they hear is praise.
Gu Suiyu is a good housekeeper and money-maker. She is also pretty. Marrying her home as the mistress will ensure a harmonious family and make a fortune.
The sound of people talking happened to be heard by the Grand Princess who had just entered the room.
She had not originally planned to come to the Marquis' Mansion to pay her respects, but now that Su Jin was here, she could enter through this door. Otherwise, she would not want to come to this shabby place.
The eldest princess refused the servant's report and came in quietly. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the room, she heard all kinds of rumors, and many people were regretting that they could not get Gu Suiyu to be their daughter-in-law.
After hearing what these people said, the corners of Zhao Yingqiao's mouth that had been raised never fell.
