Chapter 208
A few months ago, when Xue Lan and others passed by Xiguan County, Mrs. Zhang had heard Song Zhishu mention that the relationship between the Duke’s wife and his daughter-in-law was not as bad as the outside world said. He will inherit the title soon, and Gu Qingyou will be the new Duke's wife by then.

Song Lian looked down on them back then because of his ability, but Song Chengye was different.

He was born a dude, and without Song Lian's support in the future, if he wants the Duke's Mansion to survive, he must cultivate his own contacts.

Then isn't her master the most suitable candidate?

It is true that the influence of the Duke's Mansion is not as good as it used to be, but at least there is a title, and others know that they are of the same clan, so they will look at them more or less.

With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Shi prepared a generous gift, wanting to secretly make friends with Gu Qingyou and lay a good foundation for the future.

But at that time, Meng Yan was asking the Duke's Mansion for the matter of presenting a beautiful girl, and later heard that she had lost the account book, saying that it was related to the Duke's Mansion. Only then did I stop thinking.

Now that a few months have passed, the lost account book seems to have disappeared completely, and no one has revealed it. The Duke's Mansion even took the initiative to find Meng Yan to discuss the matter of presenting a beautiful girl, which shows that it has nothing to do with the loss of the account book.

It just happened that Song Zhishu was promoted to be a Beijing official by chance, and her previous thoughts came back to life, thinking that Zuodu Yushi, although nice, is only a third rank. Squeeze over there from the second grade, shall we?

The previous generous gifts were found out, but this time the person who was going to give it was not Gu Qingyou - because she was divorced.

Mrs. Zhang was very lucky, fortunately, after listening to the master's words, she didn't give the things away without thinking, otherwise the thousands of taels of silver would have been wasted.

But something worth a few thousand taels might be appreciated by the Gu family who settled down in a shabby house, so it would be a bit shabby to give it to the Xue family.

Song Zhishu's salary was limited, and Xiguan was too close to Shangjing, so she didn't dare to be too blatant in these years, and she usually lived extravagantly, so she had a lot of money in her account.

Now that he has come to Shangjing, apart from the Duke's Mansion, there are still many relationships that need to be dealt with. After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang is not willing to spend more, so she can only do some heresy.

I heard that Mrs. Gu was divorced and stole a lot of money from the Duke's mansion. Mrs. Xue must hate him to the core. Why don't she find a chance to teach Mrs. Gu a lesson, so that she can vent her anger on Mrs. Xue's behalf and return the favor to her? Can you take the opportunity to beat her up?
Excited by this clever idea, she couldn't sleep for several days, so Zhang asked someone to step on her better, so she rushed to the tea shop.

Originally, I was worried that as long as the money was not enough to relieve hatred, I didn't expect that a man would suddenly appear next to Gu Qingyou. Isn't this sleepy and someone gave me a pillow?

If I can get Gu Qingyou to spit out the money from the duke's mansion, and then catch her adulterer, and let the world know that the divorce is not because of the duke's treachery, but because of her infidelity and uncleanness. Can you not remember your own good?

With this great gift, they will have the confidence to communicate with the Duke's mansion in the future, and worry about whether the master will not be able to rise to the top?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang seemed to have seen her husband's all-powerful majesty in the court, and couldn't wait to point to the storefront in front of him and said: "Smash it, hit me hard! I want to see, you two adulterers and prostitutes! How rampant!"

This time she brought enough people, the wooden board blocking the door was kicked down, a group of people swarmed up, smashing the store to pieces in an instant.

Gu Qingyou listened to those sounds, but was not in a hurry. Every time there was a bang, he wrote down in his notebook solemnly: "One glass table, 500 taels of silver."

Every time it snaps, it counts "a cup of glass and green jade, 30 taels."

Xue Lan corrected her from the sidelines: "30 taels is the wholesale price, and you have to ask her to pay the retail price."

"That's right, that's 35 taels each."

Gu Qingyou wrote and revised, and within a short time, the notebook filled an entire page densely.

Chang Le looked at the two of them with complicated eyes, and said with emotion for a while, "If you don't know each other well, anyone who sees them will think you are mother and daughter."

Gu Qingyou stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "Probably this is also considered 'like-minded'!"

The outsiders still don't know it, and they have already owed huge foreign debts in an instant. Among them, some of them have suffered losses under Song Hengye's hands just now, and they are particularly excited.

Zhang's eyes shone with excitement, not only did she want Gu Qingyou to be ruined today, she also wanted to let that adulterer know what would happen if he dared to offend Mrs. Yushi, the dignified left governor!
The strong man who was missing an arm before, and the broken arm was still bleeding, was carried over by her regardless, and placed in front of the store on a stretcher, just for everyone to see, this is the adulterer who killed the man. Proof of failure!

"Mr. Gu! Get out quickly, don't be a coward in there, and your adulterer, wasn't he very powerful just now? You killed my servant, and this lady will make you pay with blood!"

Strong man with broken arm:? !

The wound was too big, and he thought he could be treated quickly when he went back, but who would have thought that he would be carried back again, he was bleeding profusely now, he had no strength to refute, and finally closed his eyes in despair.

Xue Lanben and Gu Qingyou were earnestly counting the movements and counting the silver taels. Hearing her constant swearing outside, she almost yelled: "Is this person mentally ill? Is this going to ruin the reputation of Youyou and the Duke's Mansion?"

Song Hengye obviously held back his anger, and the hand holding the long sword popped out with veins. Gu Qingyou was afraid that he would do it again, so he hurriedly said to Xue Lan: "They almost smashed it up, why don't you trouble yourself to go out now?"

Xue Lan said: "Of course we have to go out, you don't show up for now, lest she open her mouth again and say dirty things."

She also brought a lot of people here today, but they were all at the back door of the small courtyard. Mrs. Zhang was looking at her achievements triumphantly, when suddenly two rows of soldiers ran out from the alley behind and surrounded her people firmly.

Seeing their soldiers' clothes, Mrs. Zhang thought they were guards in the city, and she was overjoyed. She pointed to the strong man on the ground who breathed more air than breathed in, and said, "You guys came at a good time. There is a murderous monster here. My family member Ding was beaten to death, you should arrest him quickly!"

The guards ignored her nonsense, and stood still like clay sculptures. After a while, a graceful and luxurious middle-aged beautiful woman came out from behind. It seemed more natural, making Zhang look a little dazed.

"May I ask whose wife it is? What is your business here today?"

Mrs. Zhang is not completely brainless. Just looking at the pomp, she knows that this nobleman is superior to her, and with so many soldiers, she must not be passing by. Therefore, she lost her arrogance just now, and walked forward politely, ready to Report to the house.
