Chapter 145: Slap in the Face
But he was not a reckless person. He knew that his men were no match for Gu Jingchun, so he just endured it and did not attack.
He could only watch helplessly as the people behind Gu Jingchun loaded things onto the carriage.
At this moment, one of the people couldn't help but drop the boxes when loading them onto the truck.
The box also fell to the ground and rolled a few times.
Three golden ingots rolled out one after another, instantly blinding the eyes of the people around.
It also made Chu Qianlan's eyes turn red instantly.
Chu Qianlan took a deep breath, not knowing where she got the courage from, but she stepped forward and stopped the man.
Then he looked at Gu Jingchun and said, "Where did you get so many things?"
She walked straight forward and grabbed Gu Jingchun.
"You are just a girl from the countryside, where did you get the gold ingots?"
Chu Qianlan frowned, looking disgusted.
"He must have stolen something from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion."
As she spoke, she immediately raised her voice.
"Children raised in the countryside are different. Not only are they rude and vulgar, but they're also dishonest. They love to do sneaky, sneaky, and petty thefts."
Gu Jingchun chuckled when he heard this.
"What I took away were all my own things. I didn't even take a single stone from the courtyard. How could I take away anything from your mansion?"
"What's more, I find the things in your Yong'an Marquis Mansion dirty."
Gu Jingchun emphasized the last three words at the end, making Chu Qianlan grit her teeth in anger.
She followed with a scoff.
"Don't try to confuse me. How much silver does each brick and tile cost?
But the gold ingots in my mansion are not something that ordinary people can buy. I guess they must have stolen them from my mansion's storehouse."
Gu Jingchun chuckled even more when he heard this.
"What a joke."
"I don't know when you had this kind of gold ingot in your house."
After all, these gold ingots were given by the Empress Dowager and Shen Hechuan at that time.
There are also exclusive marks engraved below, which not everyone can have.
But Chu Qianlan vowed that the gold ingot must be for her.
Gu Jingchun didn't intend to pay any attention to her.
But she gave Gu Jingchun a headache.
She simply took one of them out of the box.
Then he said, "This gold ingot is a reward from the Queen Mother."
Chu Qianlan chuckled when he heard this and said loudly:
"Yes, this is indeed a reward from the Queen Mother. It even has the Queen Mother's exclusive mark on the bottom. It was given to Gu Wei'ang specially when he returned from his meritorious service. I never thought it would be stolen by Gu Jingchun.
Having said this, Chu Qianlan became even more angry. He stepped forward and snatched the gold ingot away. Then he continued:
"The Queen Mother only gave three as a reward, and you stole them all. You are truly unworthy and have no experience."
"Gold ingots like these are rewards from the Queen Mother and cannot be traded. Even if you send them to a pawnshop, they won't dare to accept them."
Chu Qianlan just saw three gold ingots on the ground and thought that Gu Jingchun had three gold ingots.
So they insisted that the ingot was stolen by Gu Jingchun.
Moreover, after she finished speaking, everyone present began to blame Gu Jingchun.
Some said that she came from a bad background, and even though she was now the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, she could not change her inherent bad nature.
When you see something good, you think about stealing it. Such shameless behavior will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among those present.
But Gu Jingchun just chuckled, as if he didn't hear these words. He just smiled and then opened his mouth fiercely to confirm.
"So, you are sure that the Queen Mother rewarded you with three gold ingots, right?"
Chu Qianlan nodded, her face full of pride.
"Of course. This is a rare honor."
The Queen Mother dislikes luxury, and therefore, there are few people in the aristocratic families of Tiandu who can be rewarded by the Queen Mother herself.
After hearing a satisfactory answer, Gu Jingchun slowly opened the box.
In an instant, a golden light flashed, causing everyone present to gasp.
Before, the people had no idea what the gold ingots bestowed by the emperor looked like.
But now, thanks to Gu Jingchun, everyone saw them all, and they were all shocked by the huge number.
Chu Qianlan was completely stunned.
She looked at the whole box of gold ingots in shock.
"How...how do you have so many gold ingots?"
"Didn't you just say that I stole it from you?"
Chu Qianlan said reflexively: "You are lying, how could I have such a large amount of gold ingots?"
Gu Jingchun smiled now.
"That's right."
"Look, since you don't have so many gold ingots, then these gold ingots of mine have nothing to do with you, right?"
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he immediately put on a cold smile.
"So, please, Madam Gu, move aside and don't hinder my people from moving things."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Chu Qianlan's face turned pale and blue.
She wanted to leave, but she was really curious about where Gu Jingchun got these gold ingots from.
So I asked again.
"You are just a wild girl, where did you get so many gold ingots?
If you don’t make this clear, you can’t leave.”
Gu Jingchun snorted coldly and pushed Chu Qianlan away before asking directly, "It must be a reward from the Queen Mother?"
Chu Qianlan naturally didn't believe this.
"Why would the Queen Mother reward you for no reason?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun spoke with some helplessness, but there was still some arrogance in his tone.
"Of course it's because my Queen Mother likes it!"
"Otherwise, the Queen Mother wouldn't have summoned me to the palace alone to copy Buddhist scriptures, right?"
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he opened the other boxes one by one.
In an instant, all kinds of rare treasures blinded Chu Qianlan's eyes.
"Not only are there gold ingots, but there are also these good things!"
Gu Jingchun's words made Chu Qianlan so angry that she vomited blood.
Gu Jingchun added something seemingly casually.
"When the Queen Mother heard about my postponed wedding, she was worried that I would be upset, so she specially sent me a lot of good things to comfort me."
Gu Jingchun said as he opened another box.
"As for this box, it was given to me by His Majesty to appease me!"
Chu Qianlan's eyes turned red as she looked at Gu Jingchun's box of things.
She wanted to keep the things, but now she had driven Gu Jingchun out of the mansion, so these things naturally had nothing to do with the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
This made Chu Qianlan vomit to death.
I just regretted that I acted too hastily. I should have waited until Gu Jingchun came back and confiscated all these things tomorrow before kicking her out.
Gu Jingchun felt much better when he saw Chu Qianlan's face and the approving expressions around him.
