Chapter 213: Bleeding (1)
Old lady Shen moved very neatly. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info picked up Shen Qinglan, he sent the Shen family steward to the Dingbei Hou Mansion the next day to deliver a message.
“…… The old lady told the servant that he must tell the second lady what he said as it was. ”
Steward Shen stood respectfully in front of Gu Wanning and said in a humble tone, "Miss Qinglan has been picked up by the old lady and temporarily placed in another courtyard. When the two uncles are released from the prison, the old lady will immediately take the two uncles and Miss Qinglan back to Xijing. In the future, he will never set foot in the capital again. Please rest assured, Second Miss!"
Gu Wanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly: "You go back and tell Old Lady Shen that the two uncles have committed a lot of things, and if you want to rescue people, you have to spend a sum of silver." Please ask Old Lady Shen to prepare the silver. lest the two uncles stay in the prison for too long and fall into any problems. ”
Steward Shen is the confidant of Old Lady Shen, and he often walks around outside on weekdays, so he has some knowledge. When I heard this, my heart suddenly chuckled.
When Gu Wanning said this, he obviously wanted to make the Shen family come out with a hard blood.
Man is a knife, I am a fish!
At this time, the Shen family had no room for bargaining at all.
Steward Shen said with a smile: "Second Miss's order, the slave has written it down." The slave went back and bowed back to the old lady. I don't know how much money I need to prepare?"
Gu Guanning spit out a few words: "Two hundred thousand taels!"
Steward Shen: "......"
In order to save the two uncles, Old Lady Shen converted all the gold and silver that the Shen family could use into silver tickets and brought them to the capital. The total amount is exactly 200,000 taels......
Miss Gu Er's mouth is this number, which is too coincidental.
This money, Old Lady Shen can really get it. However, the Shen family's family background was suddenly reduced by a small half! Second Miss Gu was also too ruthless!
"What's the matter? Could it be that the lives of the two uncles are not worth 200,000 taels of silver?" Gu Wanning glanced at Steward Shen with a smile, and his voice was fluttering.
Steward Shen was swept away by those condensed and sharp eyes, and cold sweat suddenly oozed from his back, and he didn't even have the courage to look at Gu Wanning, and lowered his head and said, "This kind of thing, the slave really can't do it." Please also ask the second lady to calm her anger. ”
Gu Wanning said coldly: "If you can't be the master, go back and find someone who can be the master." Remember, the silver ticket was sent earlier. If it's late, I don't dare to guarantee whether the two uncles will be safe and sound when they come out. I can save my life, but I am afraid that if I have one less arm and a broken leg, I will never have a chance to enter the career in this life. ”
"Which is more important, I think Old Lady Shen has his own plans in his heart. ”
A chill surged in Steward Shen's heart, and he hurriedly bowed his head in response, and then quickly retreated.
The moment he walked out of Yiliu Courtyard, Steward Shen was shocked to realize that his legs were already weak, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
……
After Steward Shen left, Gu Wanning immediately went to Zhenghe Hall.
Seeing Gu Wanning's expression as usual, Mrs. Tai's heart was also relieved, and she asked with a low smile, "What did Steward Shen tell you?"
Gu Wanning raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Old lady Shen really values her two sons very much. In just one day, Shen Qinglan was taken out of the Qi Palace. ”
Hearing Shen Qinglan's name, Mrs. Tai's eyes were cold, and she was silent for a moment before she said lightly: "I watched the prince of Qi grow up. I always thought I knew him well. Now I know that I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart. ”
In his indifferent tone, there was a trace of disappointment and pain that could not be hidden.
On the same day, the prince of Qi opened his mouth to marry Gu Wanning. He kept promising her that he would treat Gu Guanning wholeheartedly.
Although Gu Guanning resolutely refused to marry the prince of Qi, there may not be no turning point in the future. But the prince of Qi Wang, knowing how disgusted and hated Shen Qinglan was, still contained Shen Qinglan in the Qi Palace.
No matter what the reason, no matter how much hard work, such an approach is too disappointing!
Gu Guanning couldn't see Mrs. Tai sad the most, so she stepped forward and held Mrs. Tai's hand, and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, don't be sad. The prince of Qi is the grandson of his grandmother, and of course his grandmother loves him. But don't forget your grandmother, his surname is Xiao, and he has royal blood in his body. What he revealed in front of his grandmother was not necessarily the whole of his nature. ”
In the previous life, when the father and son of King Qi plotted ~ rebellion ~ rebellion ~ chaos, his grandmother had already died of a serious illness.
In this life, my grandmother will live for a long time. In the future, I will inevitably have to experience the heartache of my relatives who are against their eyes. If she could, she would have liked to bear the pain on her grandmother's behalf.
Unfortunately, there are always many things in this world that are beyond the reach of manpower.
All she can do is to prepare her grandmother in advance, lest her grandmother be caught off guard and unable to bear it.
Mrs. Tai listened to Gu Wanning's point-in-point words and was silent for a long time.
Gu Wanning didn't say anything more.
With my grandmother's wisdom, I could naturally understand the meaning of her words.
Mrs. Tai finally opened her mouth to break the silence: "It seems that he doesn't pay too much attention to Shen Qinglan. Otherwise, it would not have been as soon as Old Lady Shen came forward, and he would have let him go. ”
Gu Wanning was noncommittal, his expression was indifferent: "This is a matter between the two of them." ”
After a pause, he said, "Old Lady Shen promised to bring Shen Qinglan back to Xijing. However, this may just be a delaying tactic for him. After his two sons were put in prison, he couldn't say that he would think about anything else. We have to beware. ”
Mrs. Tai nodded slightly: "Let people continue to stare at the Shen family's every move." ”
Gu Wanning responded, and then said in a low voice: "Grandmother, taking advantage of this opportunity, I opened my mouth to the Shen family and asked for 200,000 silver. ”
Mrs. Tai was taken aback and looked at Gu Wanning: "Our Gu family is not short of these silvers. Why do you do this? ”
Mrs. Tai really hates the Shen family, but no matter how angry she is, the Shen family is also Gu Guanning's foreign family.
200,000 taels of silver is enough to make the Shen family hurt their muscles and bones. With such a large sum of silver, how could Old Lady Shen not feel resentment towards Gu Wanning?
A trace of coldness flashed in Gu Wanning's eyes: "The Shen family deceived the Gu family first, and over the years, they have used the signboard of the Dingbei Hou Mansion to make a fat difference for the two uncles and make enough oil and water." Now it's just a matter of letting them spit out a part!"
"I have already thought about the use of this money, and I hope that my grandmother will answer it......"
Before Gu Wanning finished speaking, Mrs. Tai had already opened her mouth to interrupt her: "The Shen family's silver, our Gu family will not ask for a penny." It's up to you to do whatever you want. ”
Grandmother must have guessed where she was going to spend her money!
That's why she pretends to be impatient to interrupt her, so that she doesn't know what to do.
Gu Wanning glanced at Mrs. Tai apologetically: "Grandmother, thank you!"
Mrs. Tai touched Gu Wanning's hair and didn't say anything.
