Tong Wanyu nodded, but there was still some trepidation in her eyes, "With her personality, she's much more powerful than me when it comes to confronting people!

"When I scold people, it's just a waste of spit! Her father is the emperor, and her brother is the god of war, Prince Jing! When she scolds people, she doesn't hesitate to show off her blood and flesh!"

"You have to be 100% - at least 95% sure! Only then will I dare to tell her!"

Song Mingli was amused by her words. She was quite self-aware.

"Don't worry, I'm 99% sure!" Song Mingli said, "I'll leave some excitement for you, otherwise I'm afraid you won't find it fun."

"Heh..." Tong Wanyu's mouth twitched, "Sister, do you think I look like a desperado? I'm just a little greedy and lustful at best!"

Tong Wanyu knew she had said something wrong after she finished speaking. But she was used to being carefree, and recently, the more she looked at Song Mingli, the more she liked him.

She raised her hand and patted Song Mingli's shoulder, "Sister, you didn't hear anything!"

Song Mingli smiled and said, "Life should be like you, true to nature, free and easy. How many people wear masks, live their lives, and forget what they really look like."

Tong Wanyu laughed out loud, "Soulmate! Sister Song, why didn't I realize you're so interesting before?"

Song Mingli and Tong Wanyu discussed some plans to make money, and then returned to the Gu family leisurely.

She invited Tong Wanyu to join her, and together they bought a hill, Yunzhong Mountain, where a hot spring was discovered in their previous life.

It was originally discovered by the Chen family who had just arrived in Beijing, but "an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure", and the Chen family had very shallow roots in Kyoto.

But the hot spring was really good, not deep from the ground, and rich in water resources. The Chen family built a hot spring villa, which was very coveted.

Before the Chen family's hot spring villa was completed, the eldest master of the Chen family was convicted and banished from the capital.

The Hot Spring Villa was also sold at a low price and later fell into the hands of the third prince.

When the third prince ordered people to continue developing the hot springs, he unexpectedly discovered a gold mine on the other side of the mountain!

The gold mine was not particularly large, and he handed over part of it to the emperor's private treasury. The emperor turned a blind eye and gave the rest as a reward to the third prince.

At that time, the third prince had already been named King Ping.

The hot spring villa made him a lot of money, and the gold mine made him even fatter.

Thinking of Jingyou’s previous life, when his tongue was cut off by Prince Ping... Song Mingli felt cold all over and his heart trembled.

She is still too small and powerless now, and is definitely not enough to compete with the Third Prince.

However, being a small person has its own advantages. She can, like a "little mouse", secretly take away the benefits that fell into the hands of the third prince in her previous life.

For example, the "Divine Pearl of the East China Sea" last time, and this time's "Yunzhongshan Hot Spring Gold Mine".

Song Mingli leaned on the soft pillow of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, hoping that Tong Wanyu could persuade Princess Taihua to join.

Before the carriage stopped, a loud cry pierced her eardrums.

Song Mingli quickly opened his eyelids and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zi Su looked out of the car window, "Huh? Is the prince beating Master Gu Huai?"

Song Mingli also hurriedly looked outside.

The carriage that the Gu family was carrying to the Cui family in the morning was parked in front.

The driver stood aside, wanting to try to persuade them but not daring to.

Gu Qingshan held the cane in his hand and hit Gu Huai hard a few times. Gu Huai cried heartbreakingly.

"Oh my goodness, what's wrong? Why are you hitting a child? He's just a little kid! Is this how you discipline a child? Are you going to beat him to death?"

Sun was rushing over in a hurry.

She walked so fast that the hairpin on her head became askew, and she didn't even bother to adjust it.

In order to protect Gu Huai, she rushed forward and pushed Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan, a grown man, was pushed by her and staggered. This showed how much strength she had in her haste.

"It's really strange. Why is Madam Hou so much more nervous about Master Gu Huai than the young master?" Zi Su tilted her head and said, "Last time when Master Jingyou fell into the water, Madam Hou was not in a hurry and even the wet nurse was reluctant to punish him."

"This Young Master Gu Huai is just a foster child of the clan, but she protects him and even the prince has to stand back."

"People who don't know would think that Gu Huai is her biological grandson... our young master seems to be..."

Before Zi Su finished speaking, she hurried to look at Song Mingli's expression.

Seeing that Song Mingli looked normal, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Shiso said this on purpose!

She felt sorry for the young lady and the young master! Although the young lady's actions during these days showed that she had seen the true face of the Gu family!

But Zi Su still feels scared about the young lady's humble attitude over the past seven years.

She was afraid that the young lady would be confused again, so she had to tell the truth even if it hurt or was offensive.

In fact, it’s not just Shiso who said this.

The other servants of the Gu family were also muttering.

"Why is it that Madam Hou cares more about other people's children than her own grandchildren?"

"When Master Jingyou fell into the water, she was still protecting the wet nurse... If she hadn't been indifferent to the young master, the young mistress wouldn't have been disappointed! We wouldn't have been unable to pay the monthly salary!"

When Nanny Zhao heard the discussion, she quickly pulled Sun's sleeve and whispered something in her ear.

Sun's face changed, and she said awkwardly, "Don't be too strict with other people's children! They are not like your own children. If you beat them again, you will only break bones and tendons!"

Song Mingli, who was sitting in the carriage, looked cold.

Before she got out of the car, Gu Huai started yelling.

“I’m not someone else’s child! I’m not!” Gu Huai stared at Gu Qingshan with red eyes, “Tell me, am I someone else’s child?”

Song Mingli couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

This is interesting!

Before she could break the window paper, the kid Gu Huai couldn't help it.

She wanted to see how Gu Qingshan would react.

“You…” Gu Qingshan quickly calmed down his expression, “My child, since your father has entrusted you to me, I will definitely treat you like my own son!”

"I was too strict today, but I also hope that you will learn well!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Huai stared at him, tears falling down his face. "I'm not an orphan! I want my mother! I don't want to be an orphan!"

Gu Huai broke down and cried.

Gu Qingshan saw more and more servants gathering around him. He glanced outside the screen wall and saw Song Mingli's carriage coming back.

His face immediately turned panicky, he threw away the cane in his hand, and quickly picked up Gu Huai.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I was too harsh today. I won't do it again next time!"

He picked up Gu Huai, wiped his tears, coaxed him, and quickly left everyone's sight.

Sun also spotted Song Mingli's carriage. She glared at it fiercely and ordered, "Tell the young lady to come to Chongming Hall!"

After Sun finished speaking, she turned away angrily.

Shisu was in the carriage, so angry that she was about to explode.

"I have no ability! If I had Molan's skills, I would have slapped her twice!" Zi Su said angrily, "Did the young lady provoke her? She is angry and takes it out on her son! Why is she taking it out on you?"

When Song Mingli heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Zi Su said angrily, "You just have a good temper! How can you laugh at this?"
