12 Two Beauties
Seeing that Gu Haoxuan had not given him the money yet, Gu Youting couldn't help but get anxious, so he went to Gu Haoxuan to ask about the situation.
I don’t know whether Zhao has asked for the silver back. After all, he is waiting for the silver.
"Haoxuan, is the money coming back?"
Gu Haoxuan shook his head, which made Gu Youting extremely anxious.
So much money, and we can’t get any of it back?
If he could get some of it back, he could ask Liu Qingqing for some more, and that would be enough.
"No intention of coming back at all?"
Gu Haoxuan hummed.
Gu Youting was extremely anxious.
"I told you not to marry Zhao, this unlucky girl, but you refused to listen. Now look what happened. Your future is ruined by her. You said that you have a good family background, good looks and talents. Marrying a daughter of a famous family could help your career a little. But you married a county magistrate's concubine's daughter. It would be fine if she can't help you at all, but she will only hinder you. In my opinion, you should just divorce her and your father will find you a better one."
Gu Haoxuan refused. It was not easy to live with a woman stepping on your head. Zhao was better. She obeyed him every word. Except that she was a little stupid, everything else was good.
Besides...
"Father, don't worry about the money. I have already contacted Shen, and she will give me so much..."
Gu Haoxuan made a gesture.
Gu Youting whispered, "Just three thousand taels?"
Although this silver was enough, it was tight. Moreover, Shen was not short of silver at all, so she only took out three thousand taels, which was really stingy.
Gu Haoxuan shook his head, "It's thirty thousand."
Gu Youting's face lit up with joy. He didn't expect that Shen would actually give him so much silver.
He patted Gu Haoxuan's shoulder excitedly, "Pay more attention to Shen, and all her private treasury will be yours. You are her only child!"
Gu Haoxuan didn't want to get entangled with Shen. His father didn't coax him to go, but still wanted him to go.
When he becomes the top scholar, he will find a way to kill Shen. Then, won’t those private vaults be his too?
Why bother to please?
This is totally unnecessary.
What's more, he didn't need to spend any money. He just needed to focus on passing the imperial examination. The thirty thousand taels were enough for all his expenses.
So Gu Haoxuan didn't listen to a word Gu Youting said.
After Gu Haoxuan went back, Zhao stood aside timidly and didn't dare to look at Gu Haoxuan at all.
Although she suggested that Gu Haoxuan go to Shen's to ask for the money, whether he could get it or not was another matter, so she didn't dare to ask at all, for fear of being settled with Gu Haoxuan.
Gu Haoxuan was in a good mood and looked at Zhao with a more favorable attitude.
"Tian'er, come here and give me a shoulder massage."
Zhao Tianer walked over carefully and massaged Gu Haoxuan's shoulders. There were countless ants in her heart, scratching her and asking for the result.
However, before Zhao Tianer opened her mouth, Gu Haoxuan couldn't help but share.
"Tian'er, do you know that mother promised to give me money?"
Zhao Tianer was very happy that Gu Haoxuan had money. He wouldn't be thinking of divorcing her, right?
"That's great. Your future is secured, my husband."
Gu Haoxuan was very angry when he remembered that Zhao stole his money and gave it to her parents' home.
"Zhao, you stole my money and gave it to my parents before. I can let it go, but since you have severed ties with your parents, let's just forget about it. If there is a next time, we will settle both the old and new accounts together."
Zhao Tianer smiled.
She thought her husband would divorce her, but she didn't expect that he was willing to give her another chance.
She must be a good person and never let her husband down again.
"Husband, don't worry, I won't do it again."
Gu Haoxuan felt much better now.
However, Zhao is no longer suitable to continue managing the Marquis' Mansion, so Gu Haoxuan decided to return the position of mistress to Shen.
At the very least, Shen has been the housekeeper for many years and has enough experience. Besides, the mansion is under her management, and she has never treated them unfairly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But after Zhao became the housekeeper, the standard of food, clothing, housing and transportation became several levels lower.
At first I thought that Zhao was not very good at housekeeping, but later I found out after looking at the bills of the marquis' mansion.
Some of the expenses of this marquis' mansion were paid for privately by Shen.
This Zhao was only the concubine's daughter of a county magistrate. What kind of dowry could she have? Naturally, it could not compare to Shen's.
The best option now is to let Shen continue to be in charge and continue to provide subsidies.
Gu Haoxuan asked Zhao to find Shen and return the housekeeper power.
Zhao was somewhat unwilling.
But thinking about the mistake she made this time, she felt lucky that Gu Haoxuan did not divorce her. She did not dare to ask for more, nor did she dare to go against Gu Haoxuan, so she could only agree.
Zhao went to find Shen.
Shen was sitting in the yard sipping tea when she heard that Zhao was coming to see her.
Shen Jingxiang refused directly.
"No. This traitor wants to see me? It's a pipe dream. Gu Haoxuan didn't divorce her because of the child. How dare he see me now? I don't know where he got the nerve to do that."
"That's right. This Zhao is really outrageous. I will help you drive her away right now."
After Xiaotao drove the people away, she immediately came to report.
"Madam, that Zhao actually wanted to return the housekeeper's power to you. I helped you reject it."
Shen Jingxiang nodded. Who cares about this housekeeper power? It's thankless work and it's just adding money.
This Zhao family definitely did not have such a plan. This matter might be the work of the Gu family's father and son.
He wanted her to take charge of the family again, wasn't it just for the money in his pocket?
In this life, she would never let them take advantage of her again.
"From now on, Zhao is not allowed to enter the East Garden. Also, find two seductive concubines for the young master. Zhao's life is really too comfortable."
The next day, Xiao Tao found two actors and sent them to Gu Haoxuan's room.
When Gu Haoxuan saw these two beauties, he found that they were even more charming and attractive than the lovely Zhao.
Although her appearance is not as good as Zhao Tianer's, she has a charm that Zhao Tianer does not have.
He likes it very much.
But when he thought that it was given by Shen, he didn't want to accept it.
"Send it to father's room."
Gu Haoxuan sneered. He was about to take the imperial examination and was in no mood to play with his daughter. If Shen wanted to harm him, then he would let her suffer the consequences.
Gu Youting didn't expect that Gu Haoxuan would send him two women. The key was that they were both beautiful and charming, so naturally he accepted them all.
This kid Gu Haoxuan is really sensible now. He even knew to send two women to honor him.
That night, Gu Youting favored these two people directly.
When this news reached Shen Jingxiang's ears, she didn't say much, just chuckled, not surprised at all.
Beauty is like a knife. If used well, it can kill people.
