The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 10 Counterattack
  Gu Deyin felt the eyes of everyone looking over.

Before, she would have been panic-stricken and hurriedly did everything she could to please this group of people.

But now, she has no pain or itch.

Except for Xu Ningkai who was really worried about Xu's illness, the rest had their own selfish motives.

See Xu's face.

She suddenly remembered that Liu Ruohe seemed to have mentioned Xu's name before she died in her previous life.

She said that Xu also knowingly acquiesced in the death of her son Hao Geer.

Now that I think about it carefully, there are actually many clues.

Mrs. Xu seems to love Brother Hao very much, but not as much as she does towards Brother Zhu.

She is partial.

Brother Hao accidentally drowned and died, and she was in agony, but Mrs. Xu only shed a few tears and looked as if nothing had happened.

She was stupid and never understood Xu's attitude of taking advantage of her.

Xu looked down on her, so naturally he looked down on her children.

How could Brother Hao be allowed to block Brother Zhu's path to becoming the heir apparent?

The fists under her sleeves were clenched tightly, and the hatred that had been burning in her heart seemed to be burning even brighter.

It turns out no one is innocent.

Such a group of people are selfish and despicable.

She had already learned this lesson in her previous life.

How can we still be led by their noses now?
  When Mrs. Xu saw that Gu Deyin didn't say anything immediately, she couldn't help but feel unhappy. No wonder Liu Ruohe, the eldest daughter-in-law, said that Gu Deyin had become insecure.

She didn't quite believe it at first, but now that her mother-in-law needed her money and efforts, it was better for her to remain silent.

At this time, her eyes darkened, she sighed weakly, and took the book of Huairou.

"Second brother, I know it's hard for you. It doesn't matter if I'm an old bone and I'm short of life for a few days. Don't make it difficult. Although I am your mother-in-law, I always treat you like a daughter. How can I bear it? Are you making things difficult for me?"

Xu Ningyu said displeased, "Gu Deyin, why are you so hard-hearted?"

Gu Deyin glanced at Xu Ningyu. In terms of hard-heartedness, she was far inferior to him.

However, she can use a tough or aggressive attitude to deal with Xu Ningyu and Liu Ruohe, a pair of losers.

Against Xu, you can't use this trick.

Mrs. Xu is an elder, and if she is disrespectful at all, she will be in disrepute.

There is no need to let yourself fall into that situation for the sake of a Xu family.

She knew too well that a bad reputation would make it difficult for her to move forward.

She wants to stand on the moral high ground and accuse them, so that they will never recover.

Therefore, the drama must go on.

Taking a deep breath, she hurried forward and grabbed Mrs. Xu's well-maintained hands with a caring and considerate expression.

"Mother-in-law, don't say that. You are trying to embarrass your daughter-in-law."

Seeing Gu Deyin like this, Mrs. Xu felt quite proud. As expected, she was still the easy-to-handle merchant girl.

At this time, she held her hand, acting like a good mother-in-law.

"Stop saying that, I can't bear to hear such words..."

"Mother..."

Gu Deyin had tears in her eyes and was very moved.

Seeing her look like this, Mrs. Xu also lowered her guard and quickly acted tolerant and magnanimous.

Seeing that she relaxed, Gu Deyin continued.

"Mother-in-law, to tell you the truth, when I first married into the Hou Mansion, my father prepared a few ginseng plants for me as a dowry. But over the years, my husband has used them to save my brothers' lives. The ginseng has long been used up..."

Speaking of this, she glanced meaningfully at Xu Ningyu and Liu Ruohe.

It's not that she doesn't want to take it out, it's that this treasure of heaven and earth has already been squandered.

Xu didn't expect that Gu Deyin would say such words in public, and it was too late to stop her.

Putting this on the table, it was her son Xu Ningyu's face that was ashamed.

Sure enough, Xu Ningyu's face immediately darkened.

Liu Ruohe also looked hesitant, but he didn't feel comfortable saying anything in public. Xu Ningkai, on the other hand, turned red with shame, but when he thought of his mother's life.

He couldn't care less.

"Second sister-in-law, I wonder if Gu's Trading Company has any inventory? If so, please help me."

The assist comes.

Gu Deyin continued to look troubled.

"The Gu Family Trading Company originally had one plant, but Eunuch Zhang was in a hurry to use it and took it away a few days ago..."

Xu Ning choked, not expecting this answer.

On the other hand, others were not surprised at all, as they had obviously known about it for a long time.

Liu Ruohe hurriedly interrupted.

"This hundred-year-old ginseng is not small. I will probably use it up in a while. The remaining ginseng can probably save my mother-in-law's life."

"Yes, madam, just make a hard trip and go to Eunuch Zhang to get it back. It's important to save your mother's life."

Xu Ningyu mentioned this topic again, this time in a righteous way.

Then, he spoke righteously.

Gu Deyin looked at the two men singing the double act and felt both disgusting and extremely ridiculous.

These two people did a lot of things to show generosity to others.

At this time, facing the earnest look from Mrs. Xu, she continued to look embarrassed.

"It's not that I don't want to make this trip, it's just that if this happens, my Gu family's business will be in trouble. Mother-in-law, the palm of my hand is made of flesh, and the back of my hand is also made of flesh. I feel extremely uncomfortable no matter which side is injured..."

At this point, she also started to pull her handkerchief to wipe away tears.

"The Gu family gave birth to me and raised me. I can't be ungrateful. I married into the Xu family. I tried my best, but there is really nothing I can do..."

This time, she simply threw herself into Mrs. Xu's arms and cried bitterly.

Isn't it just crying to win sympathy? She can do it too.

At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with fear. It would be inhumane to force Gu Deyin any further.

Her son was where Liu Ruohe settled down in the Xuanning Hou Mansion. If her son was gone, what future would she have as a widow?
  If she has another child with Xu Ningyu, she will really be called a child by adultery.

No, she couldn't sit still and wait for death.

So she also came forward and knelt down on Xu's bedside, seemingly comforting the sad Gu Deyin.

"Second brother and sister, please stop crying. We all know how you feel, but human life is too important. We cannot just watch my mother-in-law pass away..."

Just as she was speaking righteous words, Gu Deyin suddenly grabbed her hands.

She was immediately stunned.

Gu Deyin's tearful eyes burst into surprise.

"Sister-in-law, I am the daughter of the Gu family. For the sake of the Gu family's business, I cannot go out and ask Eunuch Zhang for the leftover 100-year-old ginseng. But you are different. For the sake of my mother-in-law's life, you can go there..."

"In this way, I don't have to do anything difficult, and my mother-in-law's life can be saved..."

"Sister-in-law, tell me, is this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

Liu Ruohe was stunned.

How can she come forward to find Eunuch Zhang?
  When she came to her senses, she immediately refused.

"Second brother and sister, I am a widow, how can I go to see Eunuch Zhang? Although he is an eunuch, it is not easy for me to meet him."

She is a womanizer. Will she still have her reputation by then?

Gu Deyin looked disappointed, "Sister-in-law, aren't you willing to sacrifice your mother-in-law's life?"

Who can't do moral kidnapping?

She turned around and put the tall hat back on Liu Ruohe's head.

Liu Ruohe hurriedly defended, "For my mother-in-law, I can go up mountains of swords and seas of fire..."

"Yes, yes, you can go up to the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire, so why can't you go to Eunuch Zhang's house? They don't eat people there."

In the final analysis, you are selfish and unwilling to sacrifice and contribute.

Gu Deyin looked righteous.

Liu Ruohe was beaten back and forth. She didn't understand why this happened to her.
