Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Shameless Mother
When Gu Shuiyue received the post, she looked at the payment on it for a long time.
"Auntie?"
In her memory, Gu Shuiyue's only relative is her mother, after her mother died, she was alone all her life, the Lin family was not her relative, Gu Qian was not her relative, and Mrs. Gu was not her relative.
She thought for a while before she realized who this aunt was. Mother Li has a brother, and this aunt should be the wife of this brother. In the memory of the original owner, the memory of his aunt and uncle is very weak. The only time her mother took her home to visit her grandfather and grandmother, but was stopped by her aunt's family.
"The water spilled by the married daughter, you are no longer from the Li family, don't come back. “
"Tell the young ladies and young masters not to go out, don't be infected by this fool!"
The fierce woman stood at the door of the Li Mansion and said to their mother and son menacingly.
And now, as soon as she gained a firm foothold in the Yunwang Mansion, the Li family's greeting post was sent over, which is a typical snob. Such people will flock to the profit when they see it, and they will hate it very much.
"Niangniang, would you like to see this lady?" asked Yinzhu.
Gu Shuiyue thought for a while and said, "Let her in." “
Gu Shuiyue arranged to meet guests in the living room. Yinzhu led Mrs. Li into the living room, and in the process, Mrs. Li kept looking around.
"The Cloud King's Mansion is really magnificent. She sighed secretly, a smile on her face.
She sat down in the living room, looked at the white jade teacup on the table, and picked it up and looked at it, this appearance was not at all like Mrs. Shilang, but like an uninformed mountain woman.
How could the princess have such a relative?
Sure enough, it is the holy family, and every grass and tree in the Yunwang Mansion is very precious, presumably 20,000 taels of silver is nothing to the Yunwang Mansion.
Mrs. Li felt a little relieved, sat up straight, and showed the appearance of an elder: "The so-called relatives are not only blood relatives, but also relatives, and the people of the Gu Mansion are not good to Shui Yue, so they are not relatives in the real sense." For Shui Yue, my lord and I are her closest relatives. A few days after Shuiyue married into the palace, I read Shuiyue, so I went down to see it. “
Yuzhu smiled and agreed, not knowing how to answer.
Mrs. Li finished drinking a cup of tea, but Gu Shuiyue still didn't appear, so she was a little impatient. Although she came to ask for money, she couldn't beg for money, she asked Gu Shuiyue to give it willingly.
She didn't know Gu Shuiyue's temperament, but her mother had a soft temper and thoughts, and others treated her well, and she couldn't wait to repay her with ten percent. The female mother, who wants to come to Gu Shuiyue, has the same temperament.
Many thoughts flashed through Mrs. Li's heart, and when she heard the sound of footsteps, she slammed the empty cup in her hand on the table: "What kind of tea is this? Could it be that you subordinates drink for these people on weekdays? Shui Yue has a good personality, but it doesn't mean that you subordinates can be lazy." As long as my Li family is here, I won't allow you to bully Shui Yue for a minute!"
As soon as Mrs. Li finished speaking, she saw a young woman standing at the door.
The woman was wearing a white dress, with a charming face and a distinctive momentum. The last time Mrs. Li saw Gu Shuiyue, she was still a toddler. The woman in front of her was very unfamiliar, but judging from her somewhat familiar facial features, Mrs. Li could be sure that this person was Gu Shuiyue.
"Could it be that my aunt is here to help me make the decision?" the young woman did not immediately step forward, but stood at the doorway, looking at Mrs. Li with a smile.
It seems that the drama just now has taken effect. Mrs. Li was secretly happy in her heart, but there was a worried look on her face: "Shui Yue, my aunt is just worried about you, and when I see that you are all right, my aunt is relieved." “
Gu Shuiyue walked in and sat down at the top position.
Gu Shuiyue is a junior, but looking at her condescendingly, Mrs. Li is a little uncomfortable.
Gu Shuiyue seemed to be unconscious, and looked at Mrs. Li with her head propped up: "Uncle, there are a lot of bullies in this palace, why don't you call the shots for me?"
Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, she was just acting just now, but she didn't really want to help Gu Shuiyue make the decision. This is the Yunwang Mansion, and she doesn't dare to offend anyone.
"Uncle seems to be reluctant, could it be that what she said just now was just talking?" Gu Shuiyue said casually.
Mrs. Li's face suddenly turned red. Gu Shuiyue's words were too direct, and the ugliest side of her heart was revealed, and Mrs. Li felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
Mrs. Li stubbornly said, "Who dares to bully us Shui Yue?"
Gu Shuiyue covered her lips and laughed: "It's the prince, it's a cruel bullying." “
Mrs. Li's face turned white at first, and when she realized the meaning, she turned red again, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she didn't ask her to go to a lady to seek justice. She said bitterly: "Shui Yue, don't joke about things in the boudoir, just talk about it in front of your aunt, if you say it in front of others, it will inevitably cause criticism." “
Gu Shuiyue giggled: "My aunt is so good to Shui Yue, which reminds Shui Yue that when she was a child, her aunt was also very caring for Shui Yue and her mother. “
Mrs. Li's heart lifted again.
After a few words, she was already worried, and she seemed very tired when she talked to Gu Shuiyue.
Mrs. Li realized that Gu Shuiyue seemed to be much more difficult to deal with than her weak mother.
Mrs. Li naturally knew what she had done in the past, so she could only be cheeky and say: "What happened back then, my aunt did have a hard time, Shui Yue, you can understand my aunt, my aunt is very happy." Shuiyue, your grandfather is old and not in good health. Your uncle is an honest official, and his monthly salary is just like that, and the whole family of the Li Mansion only lives on that meager monthly salary. To cure your ancestor's illness, you need some rare herbs. “
Gu Shuiyue asked, "How much does it cost to buy these medicinal herbs?"
Mrs. Li was overjoyed. When Gu Shuiyue's mother was still there, she cared about those two old things very much, and tried her best to see them. I didn't expect those two old things to be applied to Gu Shuiyue.
Madame Li estimated what she had just seen, and said a conservative figure: "Thirty thousand taels!" 20,000 taels to repay King Chun's debts, and 10,000 taels to keep for the expenses of the palace.
Gu Shuiyue smiled and said, "Thirty thousand taels?"
Mrs. Li looked at Gu Shuiyue's face and said, "There should be five thousand taels in the house, but now there is only a shortage of twenty-five thousand taels." “
"So, is my aunt here to ask me for money?" Gu Shuiyue said with a smile. Twenty-five thousand taels, it's really a lion's big mouth.
The word 'begging for money' made Mrs. Li jump up, and said with a dark face: "Gu Shuiyue, what do you mean by this? My father and mother are your maternal grandfather and grandmother, they need money for medical treatment, how can they ask me to ask you for money?"
"I was very happy to see my grandfather and grandmother. Uncle, why don't you write down the medicinal herbs you need, and I'll buy them, and then boil them and send them to my grandfather and grandmother?" Gu Shuiyue said sincerely.
Mrs. Li's face was pale, and she couldn't wait to leave immediately, but when she thought of her precious son, she held back her anger: "Shui Yue, the Li Mansion is indeed short of some money. “
"My aunt wants to ask for money from me, so she first returns the dowry that she extorted from my mother. Gu Shuiyue restrained her smile and said coldly.
With that, she turned and left, leaving her aunt, Mrs. Squire, in the living room.
Mrs. Li stood in the living room for a long time, her face flushed, and then she hurried away in anger.
When Mrs. Li returned to the Shilang Mansion, she almost threw everything in the house. There seemed to be a raging fire burning in her chest, and that fire had burned all her sanity, and she couldn't wait to take a knife and cut Gu Shuiyue!
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Li Jingcheng stepped in with a shallow foot, walked to Mrs. Li's side, and asked.
"It's not your good niece!" said Mrs. Li, "I'm so angry! she wants me to pay her mother's dowry!"
At the beginning, she asked for a lot of dowries from Gu Shuiyue's mother on the grounds that two old things were sick, and those were all what her stupid mother was willing to give, and she actually asked her to pay her back!
Li Jinxiu, you really gave birth to a good daughter!
"She actually said that?" Li Jingcheng was also startled, "Isn't that a fool?"
"Oh, fool, I've been tricked by a fool!" Mrs. Li was dizzy when she thought of what had happened during the day, "Master, it seems that these 20,000 taels of silver will not be available! My poor son, where should I go to get 20,000 taels to save you!"
Mrs. Li began to cry as she spoke.
Li Jingcheng said: "Madame, don't worry, if we ask for this money, it is indeed a little inappropriate, but let my mother ask for it......"
Mrs. Li's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mother is her grandmother, and mother has never owed her Li Jinxiu's dowry! “
Li Jingcheng laughed twice: "Madam praised it falsely." “
