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

"Girl, little Eunuch Liao is here."

After hearing this, Gu Deyin put down the account book in his hand, stood up and said, "Invite him in."

Little Eunuch Liao came in with a smile. This is where Gu Deyin works. Recently, the palace had to purchase something, and his adoptive father, Eunuch Zhang, came to do it for him. He had been here several times and was no longer unfamiliar with this place.

"Little Eunuch Liao, please sit down quickly."

Gu Deyin ordered Hua Shu to serve good tea, and in short, gave Eunuch Liao very high treatment.

Every time Little Eunuch Liao is here, he is in a happy mood. Although Gu Deyin is a female figure, she treats people sincerely and is much more sincere than the previous shopkeepers. At least she will not flatter him openly or call him a dead eunuch secretly.

After drinking a cup of extremely expensive fragrant tea and discussing the fabrics and headdresses that the palace wanted recently, Gu Deyin took the small box handed over by Hua Chao and handed it directly to Little Eunuch Liao.

Little Eunuch Liao was also unambiguous, and he checked it on the spot. He wanted to take it back to Eunuch Zhang for accounting. If the money was missing, Eunuch Zhang would definitely skin him.

"Miss Gu is still so generous."

The number was correct, he flattered Gu Deyin.

Gu Deyin smiled. If we were to do royal business, who would dare to default on the money owed to Eunuch Zhang?
Then she took another small box from Hua Chao and immediately pushed it to Little Eunuch Liao, "This is for you."

Little Eunuch Liao looked at the small box and was quite surprised. It looked like there was a lot of money in it.

Although he followed Eunuch Zhang, he ate meat and drank soup, but it was always a small favor. After all, he was not the only one working around Eunuch Zhang.

"This? Why are you so embarrassed?"

He pretended to refuse, but his hand subconsciously pressed on the small box.

Gu Deyin smiled and said, "This is thanks to Eunuch Xiaoliao for helping me before, so this is a small kindness, you must accept it."

Little Eunuch Liao understood as soon as he heard it. He was talking about the child that Aunt Liu brought into the house. He waved his hands in disapproval.

"What does this mean? It's just a few words that have fallen on deaf ears to me. My father-in-law has long wanted to have a queen. Zhu Geer was originally a descendant of the Hou family. With this bloodline, my father-in-law has no reason not to be tempted."

Who among these cut-off people doesn't want to raise a queen?
Eunuch Zhang thought the same thing, but he had an ugly quarrel with his family. He only had one sister and no children. So when Aunt Liu came into the house, he mentioned all the brothers. Before he said anything more, Eunuch Zhang agreed to take them in. In the house.

"No matter what, I still accept your love."

Gu Deyin quickly put a high hat on the other person's head, and then sighed.

"That child is also pitiful. I have watched him grow up, so I can't bear to see him sink with the Hou Mansion. Now that he has a good place to go, I can feel at ease."

This was half true and half false, but to Little Eunuch Liao's ears, he felt that Gu Deyin was really a good person.

"That's because Miss Gu is tolerant and doesn't mind his status as an adulterer."

If it were him, he would definitely not help the mother and son like this, wishing that the mother and son would die together with the Hou Mansion.

Gu Deyin felt a little ashamed and waved her hands hastily. She did all this out of selfish motives.

After all, little Eunuch Liao stopped pretending and just accepted the thank you money.

When he left, he was all smiles, showing that he was in a great mood.

Gu Deyin, however, slumped down in his chair with a sigh of relief, finally settling the matter.

Hua Chao changed a new bowl of tea for Gu Deyin and said with a smile, "With the help of my brothers, I won't be afraid of Grandma in the future. Oh, no, it was Aunt Liu who caused some trouble."

Gu Deyin said nothing, and it was good for her to tie Zhu Geer and Liu Ruohe together. The operation of this matter was not in compliance with the regulations. Eunuch Zhang used the power of Queen Mother Qi to operate in secret.

If we really want to pursue the case, not to mention Liu Ruohe, even Eunuch Zhang will be unable to eat and walk around.

Although this mine has been buried, it still has some time before it explodes.

Liu Ruohe's motherly love was limited. No matter how bad Zhu Geer was, she was still her biological son. For her son, she would cooperate with her obediently and not be afraid that she would not be under control.

"Okay, don't pay too much attention to this matter for the time being. The less people outside are paying attention to it now, the better."

Hua Chao didn't say anything else, while Hua Shu shook his head at her. He didn't know why he was so talkative, but he kept talking.

After Little Eunuch Liao returned, he immediately sent Eunuch Zhang the kickback from Gu's Trading Company.

After finishing this errand, as soon as he left Eunuch Zhang's yard, he met Liu Ruohe, who hurriedly saluted.

Liu Ruohe was very fond of this little Eunuch Liao. He would bow respectfully when he saw her, unlike other people in the house who looked down on her and were careless in their courtesy.

"Don't be so polite."

She smiled extremely gently.

"I heard that it was all thanks to your kind words that Brother Zhu was taken into the house and became an adopted son. This is a pastry made by me, which represents my feelings."

Little Eunuch Liao glanced at the plate of exquisite pastries and felt extremely disgusted. Liu Ruohe had also been the wife of the crown prince before, but he didn't expect to be such a dishonest person.

If you really want to thank him, wouldn't you give him some practical things like gold and silver? With a plate of food, shouldn't you treat him as a beggar?

What he was thinking in his heart but not showing it on his face, he thanked him very respectfully, and then went back holding the plate of pastries.

As soon as he returned to his residence, he directly rewarded the plate of pastries to others.

Liu Ruohe saw that little Eunuch Liao was not too close to her, so she stamped her feet dissatisfied. She had just arrived and had no foundation in this house. She had to recruit some talents, otherwise it would be inconvenient in the future.

But there was no rush, she had to take her time.

After thinking about it, she turned around and went back to please Eunuch Zhang's sister who had a bad temper. If she took care of this woman, she would take care of Eunuch Zhang.

Fortunately, Zhu Ge'er, her biological son, has now become enlightened and can actually please Eunuch Zhang. This makes her look bright in front of the other concubines in the house.

It's not a loss after all to raise this son.

She felt happy and her face looked much better.

King Yu was eventually deprived of his title, his family was demoted to common people, and they were given poisonous wine to reunite in hell.

There were many officials, big and small, who were implicated by him. The subsequent treatment was mostly merciful, but the treatment of the meritorious groups was extremely harsh.

All the culprits must be brought to justice.

Marquis Xuanning's family was demoted to commoners, the men were exiled for three thousand miles, and the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

Xu Ningyu watched helplessly as his father Xu Xiaoli and his mother Xu went to the guillotine, and the Xu family collapsed at the first sign of collapse. He could no longer stand upright. He didn't understand why things developed like this?
Mrs. Xu threw herself into a trap and died a clean death.

His biological daughter did not dare to show her face for fear of causing disaster to her husband's family.

Only Gu Deyin came forward to collect her body in person regardless of previous suspicions. Looking at the once classic and elegant courtyard, which was now so dilapidated that it was impossible to see, she couldn't help but feel sad.

The loyal servants who served Mrs. Xu threw themselves on her body and cried bitterly. When they saw Gu Deyin arriving, they cried, "The old lady has never participated in those rebellions, why did she end up like this?"

It was difficult for Gu Deyin to answer this, and she also felt that the regulations were too strict and unkind, but the world was like this, and she had no room to speak. She could only say, "My condolences."

The loyal servant serving Mrs. Xu just complained, but when she heard Gu Deyin's comforting words, she cried even more sadly.

At this time, only Gu Deyin still had the kindness to come to collect the body of the old lady. They could only feel grateful.

Debts are canceled when a person dies. Gu Deyin managed Mrs. Xu's funeral as decently as possible. At this time, no one would jump out and accuse her. After all, the deceased was the most important.

The day when Xu Ningyu and other men of the Xu family were exiled happened to be the day of Mrs. Xu's funeral.

Seeing this scene, the men of the Xu family burst into tears. Regardless of whether they were close to Mrs. Xu before she was alive or not, now that they see her dead, this group of people can't help but feel sad.

Xu Ningyu couldn't help crying. When he saw that the person in charge was Gu Deyin, he stood there in tears.

"Ayin..."

Seeing Gu Deyin walking by, he couldn't help but call her.

Gu Deyin ignored him and left directly past him.

He wanted to catch up and say a word to her, but the chain prevented his action, and he could only watch her walk away.

"Thank you, Ayin. If there is an afterlife, I will tie a grass ring to repay you."

Finally, he knelt down and kowtowed three times on Gu Deyin's back.

The other men of the Xu family were no longer standing now, and all knelt down one after another, first to see the old lady off, and secondly to thank Gu Deyin for collecting the old lady's body regardless of previous suspicions.

Gu Deyin didn't look back at Xu Ningyu. Fortunately, in the end, the man didn't disgust her anymore and said some arrogant words. If there was a next life, she wouldn't want his knotted grass ring. It would be best if they never met again.

After laying Mrs. Xu to rest, Gu Deyin immediately returned to the city.

As soon as she returned to the house, before she could adjust her mood, she saw Mrs. Xu's only daughter, Xu Miaoqing, coming to thank her in person.

This old aunt who used to like to make jokes in the past could no longer straighten her back in front of Gu Deyin, and she could only cry.

"I have said so many excessive things to you before, but you didn't care about me. In the end, you were willing to bury my mother. I owe you all my life."

As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Deyin.

After what happened to her mother's family, she was no longer the proud daughter of the prince's family before. The airs of an official wife also fell with the contempt of her husband's family. Now she is just a bereaved dog who lives with her tail between her legs.

It's not that she wasn't sad about her mother's death, but her husband's family locked her up and she couldn't be free. She couldn't even send her mother off for the last journey. She was a daughter in vain.

Gu Deyin jumped aside and did not accept her courtesy.

She said calmly, "The reason why I collected the coffin for the old lady was not because of you or anyone else's face, but purely for the old lady's face, so you don't need to thank me, just go back."

She has no interest in saying anything more to her, and the past grudges are not gone. She doesn't have that big a stomach.

When Xu Miaoqing saw the servants of the Gu family asking her to leave, she didn't mess around and got up directly.

"No matter what, I owe you."

Leaving these words behind, she turned and left sadly.

Gu Jianghuai did not come out to see Xu Miaoqing. When he saw the person leaving, he walked out. Seeing that his daughter was not in a high mood, he said, "Don't think so much. Everyone has their own life. This is her life."

Gu Deyin pinched his eyebrows and said, "I know."
