Chapter 209
Xue Lan smiled and watched her approach without saying a word, until Zhang Shi stood about three steps away from her, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped her hard.

"I heard that someone pretended to be a distant relative of our country's government, went everywhere to eat the overlord's meal, bullied the weak, bullied the orphan, smashed the shop, the crime is unforgivable, so it is you?"

Mrs. Zhang was blinded by this slap, and instinctively wanted to fight back, but when she suddenly heard the words "Guo Gongfu", her right hand stopped abruptly in the air, and said in shock, "Are you Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

Snapped!
Xue Lan slapped him again, and said contemptuously, "I'm pretty good at climbing along poles. Open your dog's eyes and see, I'm a dignified wife, when will I become your useless relative?"

She slapped her hands hard enough, Zhang's cheeks were visible to the naked eye, and she covered her left cheek in shame and anger and said: "Tang... Mrs. Duke, calm down, my concubine's husband's family is the former Xiguan County Prime Minister, now the left Capital Censor Song..."

Xue Lan showed no mercy, and slapped her hands again, sarcastically saying: "Song, what Song? My wife will give you three ear melon seeds first! Anyway, at a young age, it is really a shame to take the lead in bullying two teenage girls." Have the ability!"

Mrs. Zhang was dizzy after being slapped three times in a row, and the people who brought her were restrained by the guards of the Duke's Mansion long ago. Only then did she realize that something was wrong, and she hurriedly explained: "Ma'am, listen to me! I just want to help You vent your anger, I heard that that bitch of the Gu family has involved a lot of people in the Duke's mansion, I really can't be angry with you, that's why I made such a bad move..."

When she yelled, the people watching all around turned their ears up, not wanting to miss the good opportunity to listen to the gossip of Duke Ning's mansion.

Xue Lan sneered: "When will it be an outsider's turn to intervene in the matter of the Duke's Mansion? The reconciliation between Mrs. Gu and the son was a joint negotiation between the two of you. The money given to Mrs. Gu was also because we thought she was helpless." , deliberately making compensation, now you are using the name of venting your anger for the Duke's House, and you are doing something wrong here, if you don't know, you think our Duke's House is hypocritical, pretending to be hypocritical, and bullying a child who has no father or mother!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion among the onlookers. It was rumored that Mrs. Gu took a large sum of money when she left the Duke's mansion. Many people were skeptical, thinking that Mrs. Xue's temper could make Mrs. Gu whole. It's a blessing to leave, let alone give money.

Some people also said that Mrs. Gu was cunning, married to the Duke's mansion for a few months, and held a lot of grounds, so when she left, she threatened Xue's mother and son to pay a large amount of hush money.

Anyway, there are different opinions, and there is no accurate news. Now that they heard Xue Lan's words, passers-by couldn't help but give their thumbs up in their hearts.

It is said that Ning Guogong valued love and righteousness all his life, and his wife and his wife, no matter how bad it was, they hated Gu Shi so much before, and tried every means to drive her away, but they finally gave her a settlement. The fee is not a disgrace to Ning Guogong's reputation.

Zhang's complexion turned pale and green, green and red, and she made a fuss with her feelings, not only did she lose a servant, but she also annoyed the Duke's wife?
But after thinking about it, yes, this is the main street, with so many eyes watching from south to north, Xue family has to maintain the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.

She used to dance with Gu Shi every day, and they could get into a ball in front of Song Lian's coffin, but now they are talking about grandeur, just to gain a good reputation for being virtuous and magnanimous.

She may be so happy that she troubled Mrs. Gu today!

Persuading herself to understand, Zhang's resentment for the three slaps just now was swept away, and she hurriedly followed her words: "Yes, yes, they are all concubines' hearts, and they almost tarnished the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. Madame calm down, when I go back, I will definitely prepare a generous gift and come to the door with the master to apologize!"

Xue Lan thought she was slapped, and she was going to pester her no matter what. Seeing that she died so quickly, she seemed to be hitting the cotton with her fist, so she snorted coldly: "There is no need to apologize, but you smashed up other people's shops. So many things have been destroyed, all of them must be liquidated one by one, not a single piece is missing!"

"what?!"

Mrs. Zhang was in a panic. When she arrived, she had instructed her to let the people below pay for everything. This Mrs. Gu is also a strange thing. She opened a tea shop, and the exceptions were usually crystal glass objects. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is not cheap. , if you really pay the compensation, I'm afraid the account will be emptied!

Then I thought, Mrs. Xue is going to make a full play of the play. In front of so many people on the street, if she just agrees, then Mrs. Gu really dares to ask her for a debt?
So she agreed wholeheartedly: "Ma'am, what you said is very true. Since it was a misunderstanding, then of course the concubine can't just smash other people's things for nothing. Do you know how much the things in the store are worth? Why don't you ask Mrs. Gu to make a list and send them to you later?" Song Mansion, the concubine will pay according to the price!"

She was sure that Gu Qingyou would not dare to ask for it, so she pretended to be generous and said: "Our Song family is benevolent, and to express our apologies, my concubine is willing to pay more than the original price..."

Zhang's heart was ruthless, and she gritted her teeth and said a huge sum of 1000 taels. Although she knew that the money would not be given out seriously, she still couldn't help twitching her heart.

"It's so good, I knew that our Song family would never have such an arrogant and unreasonable person."

Mrs. Zhang was very excited about the words "our Song family". Does this mean that Mrs. Xue has accepted his overture?
However, when she heard Xue Lan's next words, she immediately froze in place, thinking that there was something wrong with her ears.

"Come here, go and call Mrs. Gu. She has already made a list. Show Mrs. Song a look. If there is no doubt, just sign it on the spot!"

"Draw, draw?"

Xue Lan ignored her faded shoehorn face, and said solemnly: "Well~ these items in Gu's store are all custom-made by famous craftsmen in Beijing, and everything is very valuable. It is very difficult to pay in full, so today the brothers and sisters will pay as much as they have, and write an IOU for the rest, so that Gu can have a guarantee."

Zhang's legs seemed to be taken out, and she almost fell limp on the ground. Suddenly, she saw Gu Qingyou walking out holding a two-foot-long rice paper in both hands, and it was placed squarely in front of her.

She inadvertently looked at the densely packed mung bean-like characters on the front, and only saw the large characters of 5 taels of silver above the final inscription.

"Fifty thousand?! You are robbing, extorting!"

Zhang's voice was broken in anger, and she didn't care to go along with Xue Lan, struggling to get up from the ground, pointing at Gu Qingyou and cursing: "You cheap hoof, you actually took advantage of the fire to rob?"

"I have clearly written in black and white, and the price of everything is marked, to ensure that children and old people will not be deceived. Why do I take advantage of the fire to rob?"

Gu Qingyou identified her one by one, and said with a smile: "Madam only drank a cup of cold tea, and you need 5 taels of silver to see a doctor. My buddy was injured by you four or five times, and each one counts as your 1000 taels. share?"
