After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

As soon as Gu Qingshan arrived, he said nervously.

"I asked around, and she's a first-class female official beside Princess Taihua! Equivalent to a third or fourth-rank official!"

Although the salary was equivalent to that of an official of the third or fourth rank, Princess Taihua was favored, and the female officials around her also had a high status and honor in front of the nobles in Kyoto.

“How do you know Princess Taihua?” Gu Qingshan frowned tightly, as if a cat was scratching his heart.

Song Mingli put away the contract and said calmly, "If it weren't for Lady Lou arriving, would the prince have hit me just now?"

“I… I was just angry and impulsive just now.” Gu Qingshan gritted his teeth secretly, regretting in his heart.

"But I did not deceive the prince. I used all my money to do business with Princess Taihua." Song Mingli said in a deep voice.

Gu Qingshan clenched his fists, feeling shocked and angry.

Why? Why?

Why did Song Mingli always walk ahead of him? It was as if he had calculated it!

Besides, why does she say that she can just climb up to the powerful and wealthy?

Ever since he returned to Beijing, he had always wanted to make friends with the powerful and wealthy, get a recommendation, and climb up the social ladder, but he saw that the Marquis's Mansion was already in decline.

He couldn't just watch the former glory of the Marquisate disappear into his hands, right?

But he was met with coldness and setbacks everywhere!

Why is it that Song Mingli has not interacted with anyone for seven years, but she can curry favor with so many dignitaries? !

"Sir, instead of being angry with me here, why don't you think about how to solve the current problem," Song Mingli said, "I really can't do anything. The princess's mansion has sent the deed to me, and I dare not go and ask for the money back."

Gu Qingshan took a deep breath, swung his sleeves fiercely, and left angrily.

"What?" Sun screamed, standing up suddenly, "She gave the money to Princess Taihua and went to do business?"

When Sun was anxious, she liked to speak loudly.

Her loud voice hurt Madam Gu and Gu Qingshan's ears.

"Keep your voice down!" said Mrs. Gu dissatisfiedly.

“Mother, please sit down and talk.” Gu Qingshan also looked exhausted and helpless. “I saw with my own eyes the lady-in-waiting in front of the princess, handing her the deed. I took a quick look and she didn’t lie. It was exactly 80,000 taels. It seems that she followed the princess and bought a mountain.”

Sun slumped back down with a plop. "Mountaintop? If it's another business, I might be able to see the profits soon...

"I bought a mountain! When can I see the return of money? How can this be called doing business with the princess? This is like giving money to the princess!

"This loser woman! She always goes out of her way to get out of control! Shan'er, you should teach her a lesson!"

Sun gritted his teeth.

Gu Qingshan's face was pale.

Before he could say anything, he wanted to slap Song Mingli in the face, but the female official saw him and mocked him in person!

“Even if I beat her, she can’t come up with the money now. Let’s think of other ways quickly!” Gu Qingshan said while rubbing his brows.

"What else can I do? Woohoo, my life is so miserable..." Sun sobbed.

"Why are you crying? The Marquis and I are not dead yet!" Old Madam Gu is old and doesn't like to hear this.

Sun quickly wiped her tears and secretly glanced at her mother-in-law.

"Alas... I still have a few sets of headgear here. They were made for me by skilled craftsmen when the old marquis was at his peak... I wanted to take these with me to see the old marquis."

Madam Gu sighed, looking several years older. "For now, I'll give it to Shan'er for emergency. I don't think the old marquis will blame me."

Gu Qingshan stood up quickly, his face turning pale.

Grandma's words were really heartbreaking. How could Grandpa blame her? If he had to blame someone, he should blame his grandson for being useless!

Gu Qingshan looked ashamed. Madam Gu touched those luxurious jewellery again and again, unable to let go.

Gu Qing Shan felt so ashamed, he was about to say, forget it, he would think of another way...

But Sun quickly winked at him and shook her head.

Gu Qingshan took a deep breath and swallowed his words.

He took from the nanny the burial objects that the old lady had treasured all her life and left for herself.

"Sun, I remember you still have some things, right?" Old Madam Gu looked up at Sun.

Gu Qingshan also turned his head to look at his mother.

“Ah, I…” Sun hesitated, and seeing that Gu Qingshan’s eyes had changed when he looked at her, she had no choice but to say, “I’ll go back and look for it.”

Sun went back and looked through the things she had hidden in the bottom of her box.

Before, when the Gu family couldn't come up with the money, she and Old Madam Gu cried poor and acted pitiful, watching Song Mingli take out the dowry on his own initiative.

Unexpectedly, one day, the person who was forced to pay out the dowry turned out to be her!

"It's all Song Mingli's fault! Why did she suddenly become so stingy!"

"Eighty thousand taels! That's eighty thousand taels! If you throw it into the water, you can hear a sound! She actually gave it to Princess Taihua!"

"Bah! Bitch! You want to flatter Princess Taihua! I have to be flattered by her!"

……

Gu Qingshan had never been in charge of a household before, so he didn’t know how expensive food and fuel were. He had no idea about making money and spending money.

Even during the years he spent in the countryside, he was supported by his clansmen, and he never knew that life was so difficult when he was short of money.

But the jewelry that was used as jewelry by my grandmother and mother was only enough to get through this short period of time.

There was still usury to be repaid, and the interest alone was enough to make him tremble with fear.

He came to Su Yi with a sad face.

When he saw Su Yi, he hugged Su Yi and cried without saying a word.

Su Yi had never seen Gu Qingshan like this before, and was also frightened by him, "What's wrong? Gu Lang, don't scare me? What happened? Is it Huai'er who is in trouble? Or is it Jia Jia who is in trouble?"

Gu Qingshan shook his head and said in a muffled voice, “Yier, do you have any money? Can you lend it to me first?”

Su Yi: “…”

She also wanted to ask Gu Qingshan for money to buy rouge, powder, jewelry, and make spring clothes!

The spring clothes she is wearing now are an old style that she made in the countryside last year. She can't wear them out in Kyoto at all!

But seeing Gu Qingshan, a grown man, crying so pitifully in front of her...

Su Yi's mind turned several hundred circles, "Sister Song..."

"Don't mention that evil woman! She sued me in the government, put me in jail, and made me lose face by getting beaten up... How can she help me now?"

Gu Qingshan cursed fiercely, and then said pitifully, "Yier, you know, I only have you in my heart. Back then, you left the capital in a rage, and in order to find you, I gave up my status as a prince and abandoned my entire family in the Marquis' Mansion to chase you.

"Now, only you can help me!"

Su Yi took a deep breath. Song Mingli refused to help Gu Qingshan, so at this moment, she stepped forward and helped Gu Qingshan.

The relationship between Gu Qingshan and Song Mingli is getting worse and worse! Her position in Gu Qingshan's heart and in the Gu Mansion will become more and more important!

“Okay, Gu Lang, wait for me.” Su Yi packed up her jewelry and the things she had taken away from her mother’s house, and gave them all to Gu Qingshan.

When she becomes the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion...everything in the Marquis' Mansion! Everything about Song Mingli! All of it will be hers!

Gu Qingshan managed to get through the current difficulties by pawning the private property of the three women.

He paid monthly wages to the servants in the marquis's mansion and repaid some of the interest.

……

When Lou Shiling returned to the princess's mansion that day, she told Princess Taihua what she had seen and heard at the Gu family.

Princess Taihua spat out a mouthful of water when she heard this.

"Living off a gigolo?" Princess Taihua was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Looking at the angry look on the face of her capable lady-in-waiting, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I haven't seen Shi Ling so angry in a long time."

"When I heard about the absurd things about Marquis Changning before, I thought that the people in Kyoto spread rumors. Now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, I feel that the people in Kyoto are too polite!" Lou Shiling clenched his fists, as if he wanted to hit someone.

Princess Taihua said, "It seems that you like that Song family girl very much, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry."

"She is an interesting person, but I don't know why General Song married her to the son of Marquis Changning!" Lou Shiling frowned.

Princess Taihua sighed, "I am helpless..."
