Chapter 28 Who is soft-hearted and who is a fool?

She thought that if she did this, the servants would be afraid, but the fact was contrary to what she thought. They seemed to have expected that she would do this. No one put down the things in their hands, glanced at her, and continued to move things. .

"Let me go, otherwise I will really die and you won't be able to live."

Gu Yunxiao said angrily. The man looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "Miss concubine, you don't have to do this. The old lady told me before coming here that if you want to die, just go ahead and move your things." But don’t worry, the money for the coffin will be kept for you.”

"You...you are brave..."

Gu Yunxiao stuttered angrily, unable to utter a single harsh word.

She was just scaring them, how could she really dare to die?
When the man saw her look, he knew that she didn't dare. He sneered and continued to let people move things.

Gu Yunxiao wanted to stop him, but he was blocked in front of the couch by several women swarming up. Gu Yunxiao felt that he was being pulled, his body hurt, and his scalp also hurt.

"Don't touch my daughter!"

Zhang Xuerou screamed in horror. She wanted to protect Gu Yunxiao, but unfortunately she was so weak that she couldn't even sit up, and there was nothing she could do.

"mother…"

Gu Yunxiao broke away from the hands of the women and rushed towards Zhang Xuerou crying. At this time, Gu Yunxiao's hair was as messy as a chicken coop and he was wearing a plain white undershirt.

Several women took away everything of value from her body, not only the bracelets on her hands, jade pendants, earrings on her head, and jade hairpins, but even the clothes she was wearing were also taken off.

Zhang Xuerou gritted her teeth angrily, "You bitches, don't get into my hands sooner or later, or I will kill you bitches."

She thought she was threatening the women, but her breath was uneven and her weak voice sounded more like a feeble struggle after returning to the light.

Several women laughed, and one of them said sarcastically, "Aunt Zhang, do you still think you are a majestic master? Now that the Marquis has eaten your heart, you still want to be the master of the house, what a dream. Bar!"

As soon as she heard this, Zhang Xuerou's eyes instantly turned gray. She had finally tasted the feeling of being bullied by a dog.

Then, the woman said again, "You don't look for a mirror to see how you look. You are as ugly as a yaksha. Do you think the Marquis will still like you?"

"Hey, this mirror is valuable, so I must move it."

"If there is no mirror, there will always be urine. Take a good look at it!"

Zhang Xuerou was so angry that she trembled all over and pointed at them. Her lips trembled a few times but she didn't say a word. She spit out a big mouthful of blood and fainted.

Gu Yunxiao turned pale with fright and cried, "Mom, are you okay? Don't scare me!"
Several women looked at each other, and one of them had a very cold look on his face. He stepped forward quickly, took advantage of Gu Yunxiao's unpreparedness, and slapped Zhang Xuerou hard on the face.

"What are you doing? Do you want to kill my mother?" Gu Yunxiao stood up suddenly and pushed the mother-in-law hard. As a result, the mother-in-law was so tall that she could not move at all, but she staggered and almost fell down.

"Miss concubine, I am saving my aunt, please don't accuse me unjustly."

"you…"

As soon as Gu Yunxiao uttered a word, the mother-in-law immediately said, "Auntie is awake."

At the moment, Gu Yunxiao didn't care about anything else, and quickly went to check on Zhang Xuerou's condition. Zhang Xuerou was indeed awake, but there was blood coming from her mouth and nose, which looked scary.

The mother-in-law snorted and turned to leave.In just a short while, the room had been ransacked, and apart from the four empty walls, only the couch where Zhang Xuerou slept and two quilts were left.

That's it, my mother-in-law didn't want it because she thought it was dirty.

……

Comparing Gu Yunxiao's miserable situation, Gu Linqiao was eating comfortably in the old lady's house. The time at the old lady's house was the most comfortable time for Gu Linqiao, and even eating became much happier.

The old lady would sleep whenever she wanted. When she woke up and saw her, she would say a few words, and Gu Linqiao would always respond with a smile.

When the mother-in-law compiled the results into a list and handed it to Gu Linqiao, the old lady happened to be awake. Gu Linqiao glanced at it and asked someone to give it to the old lady.

This was what she ordered people to do, but the people she wanted to use were all the old lady's people. When they reported it to the old lady, the old lady directly asked them to use their own names.

Even though she is a dying old lady, she is not afraid of them holding grudges.

The old lady didn't even look at the list and asked Gu Linqiao to put it away.

It not only collected Zhang Xuerou's things and Gu Yunxiao's things, but also collected everything in Gu Qiheng's yard.

Aunt Qian didn't know about this at first, but she found out after her mother-in-law finished reporting her. Then she immediately begged for mercy, "Old lady, are you too cruel to treat Mr. Hou like this? Mr. Hou is still hurt! "

The old lady shouted coldly, "He is not a child. Why should I, an old mother, take care of him?"

Aunt Qian's face turned pale when she was retorted, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Linqiao, asking her to help and plead for mercy.

When Gu Linqiao saw it, she just pretended not to see it, and she would not beg for mercy. Not only did she not beg for mercy, she also felt that she could be more ruthless and cruel.

If Gu Qiheng dared to make a fuss, she would reveal all the dowries he had spent on his old mother and his late wife.

She wanted Gu Qiheng and Zhang Xuerou to be the kind of mother and daughter who were disliked by people in Kyoto and had rotten leaves thrown at them when they went out.

Gu Linqiao kept the collected silver, and as for the clothes and jewelry worn by Zhang Xuerou and Gu Yunxiao, they were all rewarded to the servants of the house.

For a time, all the maids in the house were dressed in fancy clothes, gold and silver. As the former masters, Gu Yunxiao and Zhang Xuerou could only wear the cheapest coarse clothes. They looked at the things that once belonged to them and were now rewarded. He killed the lowly servants in the mansion, and both of them were so angry that they vomited blood.

Not only that, Gu Linqiao also asked the old lady's people to tell the servants in the house that the Marquis had no money to spend their monthly money, and those who wanted to get their monthly money had to listen to her.

All of a sudden, the servants in the mansion turned against each other one after another. They ran out of money to bluff people, and Zhang Xuerou and Gu Yunxiao lost a lot of their confidants in an instant.

Gu Linqiao stayed in the house for two days. Gu Qiheng hid in the house to recover from his injuries. Zhang Xuerou and Gu Yunxiao also huddled quietly in the house without anyone showing up.

Being defeated like this, Gu Linqiao felt that they were very boring. She thought they would struggle a little, but in the end they just shrank like this. It was because she thought too highly of them.

However, Gu Linqiao didn't intend to stop there. The meals given to Zhang Xuerou and Gu Yunxiao every day were all leftovers, and the portions were pitifully small.

The cook in charge of the kitchen stove knew that things had changed in the Hou Mansion, so he not only gave away leftovers, but also mixed in spoiled food.

Gu Linqiao knew it and didn't care. She was just treating the other person the same way. Whoever is soft-hearted at this time is a fool.
