After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official
Chapter 20 Recapture
"Gu Jin! Is that how you talk to your elders? Do you have any rules in your eyes?" Li could no longer stay in the trap and shouted angrily.
Gu Jin looked innocent, "Second Aunt, aren't we talking about the shop? How did it get to the point of talking about rules?"
Fortunately, she has no morals, otherwise what would she do if she was kidnapped!
"Your parents died early, and I, your second aunt, raised you up little by little. You have everything that Rou'er has, and you also have things that she doesn't have. Tell me, how have I ever done anything to let you down?" Li was filled with grief and indignation.
Li squeezed out a few tears, and it seemed like she was really in love with me. "I was sincere to you, but I didn't expect that you would doubt me because of the two shops. Looking at the whole capital, everyone knows that I treat you like my own daughter."
Gu Jin pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "Second Aunt is really good to me. She takes me to watch operas and listen to music every day, but locks up my second sister at home to study and practice calligraphy.
She prepared delicious fish, meat, cakes and candied fruits for me every day, but only let my second sister eat light meals.
Second Aunt loves me so much that it really touches her heart!"
Li raised the original owner into a fool and wanted to make her ugly, but he didn't expect that the original owner was born beautiful and her beauty was not damaged even if she ate greasy food every day.
Li stared at Gu Jin in a daze, her lips trembling, "You..."
Does Gu Jin really know that he is praising her to death?
But if she really knew, why would she cooperate with me? Could it be that this damn girl has been playing the pig and eating the tiger?
Li imagined a big drama in his mind.
Gu Jin just smiled meaningfully, which made Li even more uneasy.
Seeing that Li was at a disadvantage, Gu Rou's eyes turned red and she said to Xie Ran in a choked voice, "Third Young Master, please help me persuade my elder sister.
It's all right for her to resent and hate me, but please stop arguing with my mother. If my sister is angry, just come to me, even if she hits me or scolds me, I am willing to bear it. "
Gu Rou was born delicate and frail, and her eyes were red and tearful, which really made people feel pity for her.
Gu Rou believed that no one would be so hard-hearted as to blame her. Moreover, she almost married Xie Ran, and Xie Ran should treat her with more compassion.
Xie Ran raised his eyes and looked at Gu Rou, his voice as clear as jade, "Jin'er is just asking for her shop back, I don't see that she has any resentment towards you.
On the contrary, you say that Jin'er is holding a grudge against you whenever she disagrees with you. Do you really want her to obey you in everything?"
Xie Ran always spoke slowly, but Gu Rou blushed, bit her lip and shook her head, "No, that's not what I meant..."
Xie Ran ignored her and said to Xie Qing, "If Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law really feel that they owe Jin'er, then they should compensate her with actual actions instead of always talking about it and using it as a means to check and balance her."
Gu Jin was full of admiration. Educated people always speak with elegance.
Gu Rou wanted to explain something, but Xie Qing looked a little embarrassed and said coldly, "That's enough. Third brother and the others have already said they don't care. Don't mention this matter anymore in the future. Is this something glorious?"
Although Xie Qing agreed to change his marriage, he was still a noble man at heart and didn't want to just do things for fun like Li and Gu Rou did.
"Husband..." The grievance and resentment in Gu Rou's heart reached its peak at this moment. Xie Ran protected Gu Jin everywhere, but Xie Qing not only did not help her but also scolded her in front of Gu Jin.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it another day. I'm so annoyed by your noise." Liu came out to laugh it off, but in fact she was helping Li out.
Just as Li was about to leave, Gu Jin also stood up and said considerately, "Then I won't disturb your rest, Grandma. I'll go to Second Aunt's room to talk, and by the way, talk about what happened in front of the mansion gate just now."
"You!" Li was so angry that her body was shaking.
Although she had not revealed her identity to the scholar, if the Jingzhao Prefecture insisted on pursuing the matter, the dirty water would probably be thrown back on them.
Gu Jin was determined to take the shop back today, and she couldn't stop him.
Li gritted her teeth and said, "They are just two unprofitable shops, do you really think I would want them?
I only took the trouble to help you because you were too young and worried that you wouldn't know how to run a store, but I ended up getting into trouble. If you want it, just take it back. Don't come to me and cry if you can't manage it well in the future!"
Gu Jin raised his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I won't bother you again even if I have to pay you back in the future."
If she makes money, it's her ability; if she loses, she just accepts her fate, but she just can't stand others taking a penny from her.
"Mom, are you really going to return the shop to Gu Jin?" Gu Rou asked unwillingly as she took Li's arm and left Songhe Hall.
Li's eyes were cold, and she sneered, "Does that idiot Gu Jin think that the house deed and the shop are hers if she gets them back? The shop has been full of our people for so many years, and she wants to fight us!"
Gu Rou felt better after hearing this. "Gu Jin, this little bitch, is always trying to compete with me. Su's company clearly prepared two sets of ruby head ornaments but she snatched them away. Now she wants to snatch our shop!"
The shop was originally left by Gu Jin's biological mother, but after the Li family managed it for some years, they felt that the shop should naturally belong to them.
Li patted Gu Rou's hand and advised gently, "Rou'er, didn't mother teach you not to fight for a momentary win or loss?
Although Mrs. Su was wealthy, the Marquis only had his first wife in his heart, so he naturally loved his son, his uncle, more.
By then, the entire Yongchang Marquisate will be yours, and even the Su family will have to live under your thumb, not to mention that little bitch Gu Jin!"
Li's eyes were sharp. Gu Jin's short-lived mother had once blocked her way. This time, she would never let that bitch woman block Rouer's way again!
