172 Worries
Gu Haotian originally wanted to see Shang Jinxiu this time, but Li Shuhua refused to agree, and he was naturally very dissatisfied. But Li Shuhua refused to agree to let Shang Jinxiu come out to see him, and it was impossible for him to break in, so he had to leave with a calm face.
Li Shuhua stopped him, Gu Haotian was overjoyed, and thought that Li Shuhua had changed his mind. As soon as he turned his head, he heard Li Shuhua say, "Take this thing back, it's too valuable." β
Gu Haotian was repeatedly rejected by Li Shuhua, he was angry in his heart, and he didn't bother to hide it anymore, his face was directly difficult to look at, and he said arrogantly: "I didn't take back the things I sent, and besides, this gift is not valuable, but it is also a part of my heart, and I ask my wife to be sure to pass it on to Ling Yan." β
Li Shuhua saw Gu Haotian's arrogant face and cold eyes, obviously extremely dissatisfied with her, and she was even more displeased with Gu Haotian in her heart. In addition to having a good skin, this person has a really bad personality! Not to mention that Shang Jinxiu is still young, even if the two of them are of the right age, it is impossible for her to condone Gu Hao Tianxiao to think about Shang Jinxiu.
At first glance, this person is not a beloved person worthy of entrusting his life! What's more, he came with an arrogant attitude this time, how can he have any respect for Shang Jinxiu?
Li Shuhua saw that Gu Haotian would not compromise easily, so he said: "No matter what, I will not accept this gift, nor will I give it to my daughter, if you are not willing to take it back, then I have to let the servant send it back to you!" β
Gu Haotian's face suddenly became even more ugly, Li Shuhua was clearly threatening him! If he refuses to get things back, then she will ask people to give them back to him, and what will others think of him at that time? What will you think of the ancient family?
Gu Haotian pinched his fingers and looked at Li Shuhua for a while. Seeing that Li Shuhua looked like he had made up his mind and would never compromise, he had to take a step back. Walked away with a gift in a huff.
As soon as he left, Li Shuhua's anger was relieved. Suddenly he fell limply and sat on a chair with a sad face. Gu Haotian had a gloomy face when he left, this matter must not be over. She wasn't worried about what Gu Hao naively did to Shang Jinxiu, after all, Shang Jinxiu's age was there, and Gu Hao naΓ―ve wanted to do something to her, that is, it was not as good as a beast.
What she was worried about was that Gu Haotian wanted to take revenge and let people spread some words out of the way, which damaged Shang Jinxiu's reputation. Shang Jinxiu is a girl's family after all. Once the reputation of the girlfriend is damaged, won't this life be ruined?
She was worried that she was wrong, although Gu Haotian was only a little interested in Shang Jinxiu at this time and wanted to take it for himself, he also regarded Shang Jinxiu as his own property, so he naturally would not do anything to damage Shang Jinxiu's reputation.
It's just that his mind is not something that Li Shuhua can know.
Li Shuhua subconsciously didn't want Shang Jinxiu to know about it, so she warned a few maids and told them to keep their mouths shut. This matter must not be revealed in half a word. These maids are also obedient, and with Qing'er's experience, they should naturally be obedient at this time. They all saw that Li Shuhua's face was ugly, how could they dare to touch her brow in this matter?
Once Li Shuhua is really angry. Even if you spare their cheap lives, if you sell them into the tooth shop, the tooth shop will sell them to those pickled places. Are they not going to live rather than die?
They are not like Qing'er, their parents used to be the subordinates of Li Shuhua's side. Even if you make a mistake, you can be forgiven!
This matter was concealed like this, except for Li Shuhua and the maids beside her. No one knows what Li Shuhua and Gu Haotian have said. But that night, Li Shuhua found Shang Shigong and told him about it.
Shang Shigong was immediately furious, the Gu family wanted to dig a pit to frame him not long ago, and that's it, and now he still wants to beat his daughter's idea!
Shang Shigong's idea is similar to Li Shuhua's, how old is Shang Jinxiu? Not even ten years old! Gu Haotian really dared to think about it!
But anyone who is a father, once he knows that a certain stinky boy will be very unhappy in Xiao Xiang's baby daughter's heart, not to mention that Gu Haotian has a criminal record, and Shang Jinxiu is still a female doll in his eyes!
The merchant was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, and even wanted to catch the handle of the Gu family, and find an excuse to put the Gu family in prison.
Li Shuhua was also angry, but when she saw that his face was wrong, she suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, she subconsciously stretched out her hand, grabbed Shang Shigong tightly, and asked softly: "Shigong, what did you think of?" β
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, if he listened carefully, he would find that Li Shuhua's voice was a little shaky. Although she couldn't guess what Shang Shigong was thinking at this time, she and Shang Shigong had been married for many years, and the two had already been very familiar with each other. In many cases, it only takes one look to know what the other party is thinking.
At this time, she saw that Shang Shigong's expression was wrong, and vaguely guessed Shang Shigong's thoughts, worried that Shang Shigong had taken the wrong path under impulse.
How long has Shang Shigong been the prefect of Qingzhou? Although the affairs of Shantang are going smoothly now, the matter is far from over, and I don't know how many people in Lu Dao are waiting to see the jokes, waiting for the merchant to make a mistake, so as to take the opportunity to pull him down.
At such a time, how could she let Shang Shigong act impulsively?
She is not afraid that Shang Shigong will lose his official position, what she is afraid of is that Shang Shigong will make a mistake for a while, and he will tarnish the good reputation accumulated after so many years of hard work, and what is even more afraid is that Shang Shigong will come to his senses and regret what he has done.
She knows very well that Shang Shigong has always wanted to be a good official and let the people live a good life. So no matter how hard life is, he never greeds for ink. And in order to support Shang Shigong, she worked hard to run the shop under her name, hoping that her family's life would be better, and that Shang Shigong would not have to worry about the situation at home and feel guilty.
If Shang Shigong really used his power for personal gain in order to deal with the Gu family, and even fabricated charges and conspired to frame him, Shang Shigong would inevitably be condemned by his conscience afterwards, and this matter was likely to become a demon in Shang Shigong's heart!
Her hands were clenched too tightly, and her nails scratched Shang Shigong's skin a little painfully. This pain, Shang Shigong instantly sobered up. At this awakening, he recalled his previous thoughts, and he was suddenly afraid.
He really wants to deal with the Gu family, but he must really rely on solid evidence, and he can't use his power for personal gain, or even conspire to harm others. If so, is he still him?
Shang Shigong glanced at Li Shuhua gratefully, if Li Shuhua hadn't noticed something was wrong just now, he would probably have fallen into it. Holding Li Shuhua in his arms, Shang Shigong assured her softly: "Shuhua, don't worry, I won't mess around." β
Li Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she knew the character of the Taoist businessman, the businessman's skill has always been the same, as long as she guarantees it, she will definitely do it, and she will never break her word. Now that he said so, she naturally didn't have to worry about the businessman's gong meeting.
Shang Shigong said again: "But I won't let go of the Gu family, the Gu family is really hateful!" He clenched his fists as he spoke, and said to Li Shuhua, "Shuhua, you look at a little Xiu'er, let her go out less in the future." β
Li Shuhua nodded, thought about it and said, "I'll find an opportunity to talk to Qi'er about this tomorrow, so that Qi'er can take a good look at Xiu'er." β
Shang Shigong thought of Lan Qi, couldn't help but smile, and echoed: "Yes, that's it!" Qi'er is a rare master, and Xiu'er doesn't worry about anything with her protection. And Xiu'er is still so young, there are still nearly six years to wait for her and Lu, even if that kid from the Gu family has any ideas, you don't have to worry too much. β
When he said this, both of them were relieved. Then, the two reached a consensus that this matter should be hidden from Shang Jinxiu and not let her know it well.
Seeing that the night was already deep, the husband and wife didn't say anything more and just rested.
Shang Jinxiu, who made the two worried, had not slept at this time, she was sitting cross-legged on the bed at this time, her eyes closed, silently absorbing the energy escaping from the air around her.
In the past, Shang Jinxiu would not be as busy cultivating as she is now, but the affairs of the Gu family made her vigilant, and the merchant was still too weak now. Fortunately, the Gu family I met this time, although he is the richest man in Qingzhou, is just a businessman in the end, and he is not a big man. But if the merchant accidentally offends those big families, where can the small merchant survive?
Shang Jinxiu doesn't think that as long as the business is in a safe corner and doesn't provoke right and wrong, he can be safe. Sometimes you don't look for trouble, and trouble will naturally come to you.
Some time ago, Li Shuhua raised funds and materials for Shang Shigong, held several flower parties, and almost invited all the female dependents of people with a bit of status in Qingzhou City. Although those people said congratulations on their faces, Shang Jinxiu listened to their sour words with insinuations, and knew that the business of 'Yipinxian' was too good, which had already made these people dissatisfied.
Coupled with the fact that Gu Haotian wanted to buy 'Yipinxian' at the beginning, Shang Jinxiu understood that as long as her business continued, she would inevitably offend others. Once you offend those big people one day, the business is finished.
In order to deal with these things, and also to be able to seek a glimmer of life for the merchant when the merchant is in danger, Shang Jinxiu had to work hard to improve his strength.
When the time comes, once someone wants to attack the merchant's idea, she can use the spatial ability to listen and help the merchant avoid trouble in advance.
For this reason, Shang Jinxiu not only took the initiative to ask Lan Qi to teach kung fu during the day, never lazy and tired, but even saved sleep at night, and directly meditated and cultivated.
At first, she was a little apprehensive, but when she found that after meditating and practicing all night, not only did she not feel tired at all, but her spirit was better, she practiced every night without any scruples.
Before she crossed over, her ability level had already reached the peak of the late third level, and she was just one foot away from advancing to the early level of the fourth level. I didn't know that Lu Dao was conspired against and came to this world. While the ability is still there, the level drops to the early level of the first tier.
Now that she has been cultivating for a few years, her ability has finally recovered to the peak of the late stage of the third level, and if she is a little closer, she will be able to advance to the fourth level.
Shang Jinxiu sighed, the energy of this world is still too little, not as good as the last days she stayed in her previous life. It has been more than four years since she came to this world, longer than she had been in the last days, and she even had cultivation techniques.
But even so, her cultivation progress was not as good as in the last days. (To be continued......)
PS: It's different when I go to work, I have been seriously lacking in sleep recently, and I almost dozed off and fell in the company.
