Chapter 71: Slap Yourself Twenty Times
The huge noise made Gu Jingchun frown and her good mood disappeared.
After Gu Nansheng came in, he saw Gu Jingchun's casual look and immediately frowned and said:
"You are a daughter of a noble Marquis's mansion, yet you are dressed like this. You are bringing shame to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion. Why don't you change your clothes and follow me?"
When Gu Jingchun heard this, he looked a little dissatisfied.
But then I thought that Gu Nansheng suddenly came back at this time, and it must be something important.
So, she simply sat down and said casually:
"I'm very comfortable wearing this, why should I change?"
Gu Nansheng frowned, very unhappy with her calm demeanor.
"I asked you to change clothes, so you changed them. Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Hurry up and follow me after you change!"
Gu Jingchun chuckled when he heard this.
"What if I don't change?"
Gu Nansheng frowned.
"Gu Jingchun!"
He shouted angrily, “Now is not the time to mess around.
The Queen Mother specifically asked you to come for questioning. If you offend the Queen Mother, can you bear the consequences?"
"joke!"
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"So what if the Queen Mother summoned me? You didn't ask me to go. I'll just have to explain to the Queen Mother when the time comes."
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and spoke quickly.
"Oh, I forgot.
The list for the Spring Hunt was finalized early this morning. If the Queen Mother knew that you had secretly replaced me, you would be accused of deceiving the Queen."
In fact, such occasions involve the safety of the royal family, and the list is finalized early on.
However, at the end of the day, there will inevitably be some headaches and the aristocratic families do not want to waste this spot, so it is inevitable that someone will be replaced.
This is all known internally.
But if the Queen Mother takes this matter to heart, then the Yong'an Marquisate will inevitably be branded as a deceitful emperor.
Gu Nansheng also understood this, and could only grit his teeth and say this.
"Since you know the truth, why don't you go change your clothes and leave with me?"
"Why should I change? You guys didn't let me go in the first place, and now that something's happened you're urging me to go?"
"Why?"
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Gu Nansheng knew that Gu Jingchun was angry and would definitely not leave with him happily, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Then how exactly are you going to leave?"
Gu Jingchun admired the new nail polish and said casually:
"Then I'll have to think about it carefully."
"I'm going to ask you to slap yourself twenty times..."
As she spoke, she deliberately prolonged her tone, which made Gu Nansheng so angry that he immediately started cursing loudly.
"Don't even think about it!"
Gu Jingchun chuckled and continued to complete the rest of the sentence.
"I'm sure you wouldn't want to."
Gu Jingchun said this and sighed with some regret.
"Then let's just leave it at that."
She said, "How about you give me thirty thousand taels of silver and I'll go change my clothes right now?"
Gu Nansheng opened his eyes wide.
"Are you robbing me for money?"
"You actually want so much silver!"
Gu Jingchun acted innocent.
"Is it too much for you?"
"Then forget it."
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he lay down on the recliner, closed his eyes, and looked relaxed and contented, which made Gu Nansheng so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Although thirty thousand taels is a lot, it is something he can really afford.
Thinking that the situation was urgent, he simply gritted his teeth and took out the silver and money.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said through gritted teeth:
"good!"
"I'll send someone to get the banknotes now. Take advantage of this opportunity to change your clothes."
As Gu Nansheng spoke, he ordered his personal servant to go and get the banknotes.
Gu Jingchun did not hesitate and immediately stood up to change his clothes.
Half an hour later, Gu Jingchun was dressed neatly again.
Gu Nansheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at Gu Jingchun's brand new look.
Apart from anything else, Gu Jingchun is really beautiful.
If she were not a widow with a child, she would surely be the object of competition among the noble men of Tiandu.
In fact, Gu Jingchun is also a poor man.
Her husband died at a young age, and she raised a child alone. Only now that she has returned to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion can she no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
After all, she is his sister. Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng felt a little more pity in his heart.
Gu Jingchun walked slowly to Gu Nansheng and slowly extended his hand.
"Silver note."
In an instant, the little bit of pity in Gu Nansheng's heart disappeared completely.
With a cold face, he placed the banknotes that the servant had just retrieved into Gu Jingchun's hands, and then said:
"Okay, I've given you the banknote, why don't you go now?"
Gu Jingchun raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Why are you walking?"
"What you are giving me now is money to change clothes."
"I promised you that I would change my clothes if you gave me 30,000 taels, but I didn't promise to follow you!"
Gu Nansheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fingers into fists.
If Gu Jingchun wasn't a woman now, he would definitely beat her up severely.
Seeing the time ticking by, Gu Nansheng knew that there was no time to lose, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said:
"How much silver do you want to leave?"
"Fifty thousand taels!"
"Why don't you go and rob it!"
"Gu Jingchun, do you have a heart? You are also from Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and you actually..."
Gu Nansheng was so angry that he gasped for breath and couldn't express his pain in words.
But Gu Jingchun said casually:
"I don't agree with that. After all, when you went on the spring hunt together, you didn't treat me as a member of your Yong'an Marquis Mansion. I think my status is not as good as your distant cousin.
If that's the case, why should I care about your Yong'an Marquis Mansion?"
"It would be better to hold more silver in your hands, so that you can have more confidence."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nansheng couldn't help but secretly despise Gu Jingchun for being short-sighted and only caring about money.
But now he could only grit his teeth and say, "I don't have that much silver right now. When you come back, I'll go to the accounting office in the mansion to get it immediately."
Gu Jingchun snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Words are not enough. What if you deny it later?"
Gu Nansheng was so angry that he lost his temper.
Hearing this, he went straight to the study and quickly wrote a note.
Gu Jingchun felt relieved only after seeing the words written in black and white.
She handed the receipt to Lan Xin and asked her to keep it safe, then said, "In that case, let's go now."
Seeing this, Gu Nansheng didn't care about anything else and just pulled Gu Jingchun away.
And this scene happened to fall into Gu Jinxi's eyes.
He looked at Gu Nansheng pulling his mother away quickly and felt dissatisfied.
This guy must be going to take my mother away again to bully her.
This time, he would never let them bully his mother again.
When he thought of this, he wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xiaoman.
"Young Master, you can't leave now. The girl has important things to do now. You can't disturb her."
Gu Jinxi said: "I will go and protect mother."
