Chapter 54: The Net Opens Up
Qing Gui walked in with a lacquer box, and although her face looked calm, it was not difficult to see that she seemed to be very uncomfortable.
"Second Miss, this is sent by the old lady." Qing Gui's voice was very calm, without a trace of waves, and he didn't seem to care about this matter at all.
Gu Wanyin glanced at her and asked casually, "What else do you have to explain?" ”
Qing Gui froze, then took a deep breath: "I didn't say anything." As she spoke, she put the lacquer box in Gu Wanyin's hand.
Gu Wanyin didn't open it immediately, and continued to write her own words, and at the same time asked softly, "Qinggui, how long have you been with me?" ”
Qinggui was stunned for a moment, and recalled for a moment before saying, "I was a young lady at the age of twelve." It's been five years now. ”
It's been five years. Gu Wanyin sighed, five years is not a long time, but it is definitely not short. Five years have passed like this. Time flies. And, over time, something, becomes powerful.
Thinking like this, Gu Wanyin only felt that the pen in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand gold, and she couldn't leave another stroke for a long time. She simply put down her pen and looked up at Qinggui: "Qinggui, in the past five years, you have never made a mistake. It's also a maintenance and addition for me. But I don't care about you. ”
Qing Gui froze, then showed a panicked look, and hurriedly retorted: "No, Miss treats me very well." ”
Gu Wanyin stared at Qing Gui, looked at it silently for a long time, and suddenly said, "You are not too young, do you have a favorite person?" Do you want to match it in the house, or do you want to find it outside? If you want to find it outside the house, I can be the master of removing your slavery. ”
Qing Gui was originally a little stunned by Gu Wanyin's sudden change of topic, but when she heard the words behind, the stunned look on her face turned into ashes. Almost didn't dare to look at Gu Wanyin's eyes, she lowered her head, her voice bitter: "Second Miss, I ......"
After only saying these few words, Qinggui couldn't say it anymore. Say what? What else can be said?
Gu Wanyin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and continued smoothly and lightly: "I remember that your old man is also an old man in the house. I don't think so, if you want to go out of the house, I can let them go out with you. ”
Now, she had no other choice. She also felt uncomfortable when she said this. But there was no other way for her. Letting Qinggui out of the house was the best choice - especially, after Qinggui did something like that.
Qing Gui knelt down abruptly, slammed his head on the ground, and his voice was bitter but stubborn: "Thank you for the kindness of the second lady, Qing Gui is reluctant to leave the house." ”
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but clench her hands, looked at Qinggui from top to bottom, and only made a voice for a while: "Are you sure?" She couldn't see Qinggui's expression, but she felt Qinggui's persistence. She didn't understand why Qinggui insisted like this.
Qing Gui bit her lip and almost exhausted all her strength before repeating Fang Cai's words again.
Gu Wanyin sighed and waved her hand a little helplessly: "Since that's the case, then you can go." ”
Qinggui kowtowed heavily, and then got up and left without looking back.
Gu Wanyin looked at Qing Gui's back and couldn't help but smile bitterly - she didn't expect that Qing Gui would fall so deeply. It was her negligence that caused this situation. She believed in Qinggui too much. Who knows...... She wanted to give Qinggui a good result for Qinggui to serve her, but Qinggui refused.
Gu Wanyin said in her heart that she was not uncomfortable, but it was false. She was even more puzzled - what kind of benefits did others promise Qinggui to make Qinggui betray her so firmly? Not even a trace of retreat.
Qinggui is smart and intelligent, and has followed her for so many years, and her horizons are broader than many people. But it is precisely because of this that Qinggui's betrayal will be so confusing.
Gu Wanyin sighed again.
Danzhi opened the curtain and walked in, just when he heard this sigh.
Danzhi didn't speak, but walked to the incense burner and added a few more incense, and the fragrance lingered in the air, which made people feel a lot more soothing physically and mentally.
Gu Wanyin rubbed her eyebrows and felt a little tired: "Qinggui refused." ”
Danzhi didn't seem surprised at all, but said lightly: "Qinggui has an older brother. Her brother and a little girl next to Mrs. Li were caught cheating. ”
Danzhi didn't say much, because the next thing could be guessed without explanation.
In the big family, this kind of thing is strictly forbidden. Once discovered, the light ones are thrown out, and the heavy ones are killed directly - otherwise, this kind of thing happens in the backyard where the girls live. Once it gets out, wouldn't it be bad for the reputation? For the girl's family, the reputation of the girl is more important than life.
Therefore, in order to maintain the reputation of their own girls, the big family guards it more tightly than anything else.
In novels and operas, we meet men casually, or even elope, which is absolutely impossible in reality. Someone else cheated on him.
Gu Wanyin was a little stunned - no wonder Qinggui would suddenly betray. However, Mrs. Li's move is really ruthless.
"Let's choose a little girl to come in and serve. This time, pick people well. Otherwise, if there is a suitable one, you can buy it outside the house. After digging through this matter and casually giving an order, Gu Wanyin focused her attention on the lacquer box.
Reaching out and opening the lacquer box, to her surprise, there was indeed a stack of ledgers inside. It's all recent, and I opened it casually, and I circled a lot of places with a red pen. These are problematic.
Looking at this thick stack of account books, Gu Wanyin smiled bitterly: "It seems that you should be careful in employing people in the future." ”
No one responded, and Danzhi stood quietly to the side as if it didn't exist.
The old lady asked people to quietly send the problematic account book, first, to protect it, and secondly, to remind her. Gu Wanyin knew that if she didn't clean up the people around her, the old lady would do it. even, take back the stewardship rights in her hands.
But - how can this matter be hidden? Mrs. Lee has already made a fuss about it.
Mrs. Leigh's purpose was simple, and that was to force her to surrender her stewardship. And once she calls out, she will definitely never get it back - as Roche said, she always has to get married, and sooner or later she will be someone else's family.
Gu Wanyin is not greedy for this power, but she doesn't want to cheapen Mrs. Li. Originally, her idea was that in the future, Gu Congrui's wife would be able to accept it directly, but now it seems that Mrs. Li will not give her that time.
Still, it doesn't matter.
Putting the ledger back into the lacquer box, Gu Wanyin smiled slightly. Since Mrs. Lee wanted it, then she would have cooperated once. However, as to whether the result was what Mrs. Lee wanted, it is unknown.
Danzhi on the side saw Gu Wanyin's smile, and the corners of his lips hooked, and he smiled slightly. A Qinggui, how can you change anything? After so many years of hard work, how could the second lady make a wedding dress for others?
