The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

When Gu Jinchu heard Gao Jiayue's words, he raised his hand and instructed the waiter beside him:

"Take Miss Gao to look around the store. Give her the lowest price for whatever she likes, and package it beautifully according to her requirements."

After saying that, she looked at Gao Jiayue and said, "This pine and crane painting is a birthday gift I gave to my grandmother. It is not sold in the Treasure Pavilion. If Miss Gao likes double-sided embroidery, you can register it with the shopkeeper. Miss Gao, please."

After saying that, Gu Jinchu stepped aside and signaled Gao Jiayue to look around the store freely.

It also allowed other guests in the Treasure Pavilion to see the controversial pine and crane painting that they were talking about.

This embroidery is a double-sided embroidered screen. The scene displayed on the front seems to be frozen in a fairyland.

The vigorous branches of the ancient pine trees stretch out in a winding manner, and the pine needles are slender and dense, as if you can feel the rustling sound of the breeze.

On the pine branches, several cranes were singing in a row or dancing gracefully. Their feathers were so delicate that they seemed to be endowed with life.

The meaning of wishing a happy birthday is clearly shown in the fusion of pine and crane.

The combination of colors is harmonious and gorgeous, and the embroiderer's ingenuity and affection are condensed in every stitch and every thread.

The poems on the back of the pine and crane painting add endless charm and connotation to it.

Between the lines flow beautiful wishes for longevity and good fortune.

"Oh my god, there is such exquisite embroidery..."

"I just heard that Treasure Pavilion was selling double-sided embroidery. Today I saw the finished product for the first time. I didn't expect it to be so shocking..."

"My mother-in-law is having her birthday next year, and I'm wondering what to give her..."

Tao Yuanzheng came over after hearing this, with a proper professional smile on his face, and explained in a low voice:

"This is the embroidery of our boss's daughter. Of course, the craftsmanship of the embroiderers in Zhenbao Pavilion is not bad, but this kind of double-sided embroidery work takes a long time. If it is used next year, it is just the right time to queue up now..."

When the ladies heard that they had to queue up to buy double-sided embroidery, instead of feeling unhappy, it aroused their interest even more.

Many people followed Tao Yuanzheng to find out what was going on, and for a moment there were fewer people watching the fun.

Some people stood here, staring at this rare, magnificent double-sided embroidered screen.

This is not the result Gao Jiayue wanted. She came here to intimidate Gu Jinchu, not to build momentum for her!

Especially when he saw the screen being repackaged and taken away, his face showed undisguised displeasure and his voice became a little sharp:

"Gu Jinchu, didn't you hear what I just said? I like this screen!"

Gu Jinchu's smile faded, and his tone was cold, "Miss Gao just mentioned that her grandfather, who is a tutor in our family, is going to celebrate his birthday. In order to keep things quiet, I will make the decision. I will give you the lowest price for the goods sold in the Treasure Pavilion."

"Why, is it that you don't understand because you have poor hearing, or does Miss Gao want to bully others by taking advantage of her power?"

As soon as the words "taking advantage of one's power to bully others" came out, the Treasure Pavilion instantly became quiet.

The customers who were selecting goods turned their heads when they heard this, and even the pedestrians outside looked over through the open windows.

"You are slandering me, Gu Jinchu! How can my grandfather, a veteran of two dynasties, allow you to talk nonsense and make up stories here!" Gao Jiayue pointed at Gu Jinchu, her face flushed with anger.

Chen Yuhua beside her had her eyes flashed. Gu Jinchu's performance was somewhat unexpected.

Zheng Mudan stood beside her daughter and said calmly, "If this girl hadn't mentioned her grandfather all the time, how would others know that you are the granddaughter of Master Gao?"

"How could I know that the Grand Tutor would be celebrating his birthday soon, and that the Grand Tutor's granddaughter, along with a group of maids and servants, would make a scene in someone else's shop, making it difficult for another girl to show her filial piety."

The confused crowd understood the whole story after Zheng Mudan explained it in a few words.

The look he gave Gao Jiayue and the maids behind her became unfriendly.

Just as Gao Jiayue just said, Taifu Gao was a founding father of the dynasty, assisted two generations of kings, and enjoyed a very high prestige among the people.

Seeing Miss Gao's behavior, no one dared to criticize her openly, but they were all talking about it in secret.

A maid beside Gao Jiayue stepped forward and whispered something in her ear. Then Gao Jiayue looked aware.

She raised her chin slightly and looked at Zheng Mudan, then turned her body sideways in a very unlucky manner, as if she had seen something dirty.

"So you are Gu Jinchu's divorced mother! How dare you show up in public?"

He stepped back and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "Oh! I forgot. Merchants like you are the most profitable. Tell me, how much do you want to sell this screen for?"

When Gu Jinchu heard this, he became furious and walked towards Gao Jiayue without thinking. He moved so fast that Zheng Mudan, who was standing beside her, couldn't stop him.

Baizhi and Baishao were afraid that the young lady would suffer due to her impulsiveness, so they followed her.

The woman standing next to Gao Jiayue saw Gu Jinchu approaching aggressively. She stood in front of her master with a look of panic and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what are you going to do?"

Gu Jinchu's reputation for brutality had spread among the noble ladies in Shengjing. Only now were they beginning to get scared, fearing that she would take out the whip and beat people.

Gu Jinchu quickly came in front of Gao Jiayue. She raised her arm, and under the astonished and terrified gaze of everyone, she gently pressed her palm on the woman's head and pushed her aside.

Then he stared into Gao Jiayue's eyes and said in a cold tone: "Because of Master Gao, I respect you a little bit!"

Gao Jiayue obviously did not expect Gu Jinchu to be so bold, and her body involuntarily took a step back.

Gu Jinchu approached her step by step, and said word by word: "I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"

Gao Jiayue was horrified and speechless for a moment. She trembled and pointed the finger at Gu Jinchu, stammering, "You...you..."

Gu Jinchu glanced coldly at her trembling fingers, lowered his eyes, stared straight at Gao Jiayue, and questioned her:

"How much money can you come up with? Tell me! Who are you insulting? Let me see how the Gao family wants to bully others!"

Gao Jiayue and Chen Yuhua beside her looked at each other, their faces pale and trembling all over.

They had never been so frightened.

The maids and servants were also intimidated by Gu Jinchu's powerful aura, and even lost the courage to protect their master.

The whole scene became unusually quiet, and it was the old woman who was pushed aside by Gu Jinchu who was the first to come to her senses.

He got up from the ground and woke up the frightened maids and servants of the Gao family.

Then he stood there and shouted at the top of his voice, "Murder... Murder! The daughter of a poor family killed the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor. My lady is the future wife of the Second Prince!"
