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

Hua Chao felt unfair for his master, "Back then, the girl used her own money to subsidize them and restore their reputation. How could they treat the girl like this?"

At this time, even Hua Shu, who had always been calm and self-possessed, couldn't help but have a bit of anger on his face, "They really don't deserve to be treated like this by a girl!"

Seeing that the two maids were very angry, Gu Deyin herself looked calm.

"This is all expected. It's normal to have a few mouse droppings in a pot of soup. It's strange if there aren't any. I'm not afraid of them making trouble."

While talking to her, she called Xiu'er to come in.

Xiu'er's positioning of herself is very clear. She is a thug, so she rarely expresses her own opinions. She will hit wherever the girl tells her.

"Is Gui Niang back?"

Xiu'er said, "My mother's affairs are finished and she will be back tomorrow."

"Okay then, you are the first to deliver a message to Gui Niang. You go out and intercept the letter that my second uncle wrote back to the clan, and put this letter in it and send it back to the clan."

She handed Xiu'er a letter forged in Uncle Gu's handwriting.

Xiu'er took it and stuffed it into her arms without looking at it carefully, "Don't worry, girl, I will take care of it."

"Go."

Gu Deyin waved her hand. She had never doubted the abilities of Gui Niang and Xiu'er and her daughter. They had not failed in anything since they arrived.

Delaying Uncle Gu's request for help from the clan was to buy her time to cultivate her confidants.

Gu Jianghuai on the other side didn't stop him after he learned about his daughter's arrangement. Although he didn't help his daughter to get the upper hand in public, he had to protect her in private.

"Master, the girl has finally grown up. You can rest assured. Are you really not going to confess to her now?"

Butler Gu's words made Gu Jianghuai fall into deep thought. After a while, he waved his hand and said.

"It's still early. Let's see how far this girl can do it. This time, the second child can be used as her whetstone. Let's calm down and watch."

Butler Gu felt in his heart that the master was too hard-hearted, but this was the master's decision, and he couldn't object to it openly, but he could still help the girl secretly.

Gu Jianghuai glanced at Gu Gu Gu, not paying attention to the old guy's obedience.

Second Uncle Gu thought that the arrangements were in place, so he took advantage of Gu Jianghuai's opportunity to summon the top shopkeepers from Gyeonggi Province to a meeting and directly attacked Gu Jianghuai.

He glanced at Gu Deyin, who was sitting next to Gu Jianghuai, and said directly, "Brother, when we discuss business affairs of the business, there is no need for my niece to attend, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Gu Deyin. Originally, many people didn't say anything about her sudden attendance, but they were talking about her in private.

Bo Qingya sneered and said, "Second uncle, Yinmei is the biological daughter of the adoptive father, why is she not qualified to attend?"

"Qingya, this is our Gu family's business. It's not your turn as an outsider to speak."

Uncle Gu responded directly and did not intend to tolerate this sick man any longer.

Bo Qingya did not get angry, but placed the tea cup in his hand heavily on the table, "My father and my adoptive father were sworn brothers before he was alive. We were originally part of the Gu family business, and I am the adopted son of my adoptive father. Everyone says that I Is it qualified enough?”

Hearing this, most of the shopkeepers stood on Bo Qingya's side. After all, they had watched Bo Qingya grow up. Many people had benefited from his father, so there were very few who stood by Uncle Gu. .

Uncle Gu's complexion suddenly turned green, and he became more and more displeased with Bo Qingya. Why didn't this sick man die?

People on both sides started arguing, and Gu Jianghuai shouted, "Quiet."

With an order, everyone immediately shut up and did not dare to disobey this boss.

"Second uncle, what is your reason for opposing me?"

Gu Deyin's voice broke the silence again. Most shopkeepers were unfamiliar with her, the daughter of the boss.

Uncle Gu said warmly, "Niece, I am not saying this against you, but girls can just work as female celebrities in the boudoir. Working hard outside is a man's business. How can you girls come out and show their faces? What’s the point? The male members of our Gu family are not dead yet.”

These words sounded harsh again, Gu Deyin scratched his ears and chuckled.

"Second uncle, I thought you had something new to say, but it turns out it's the same old talk. You keep saying it, and I'm tired of hearing it."

Uncle Gu's face immediately turned a little greener, and he was obviously very angry.

"Brother, is this how you teach your niece to speak? Does she care about me, the second uncle?"

Old God Gu Jianghuai was looking at him, "My daughter is right, second brother, you have to change your old ideas. My daughter can stand up to two men, so I am right to cultivate her."

This was the first time that Gu Jianghuai made it clear that he wanted to support his daughter in becoming a leader, which caused an uproar among everyone. Uncle Gu immediately jumped up and said sadly, "Brother, you are confused. How can you be worthy of my sister-in-law in the future? My niece is only a girl after all, how can she bear this important responsibility?"

"I can't afford it, so who can? Brother Ping?"

Uncle Gu said cheekily, "Brother Ping is the eldest grandson of the Gu family. It is only natural that he inherits this family business..."

"Is he my father's child?"

Gu Deyin's question knocked out Uncle Gu's complacency.

The development of the Gu family business to the scale it is today is due to two people, one is Gu Jianghuai and the other is Bo Qingya's biological father. The Bo family is involved in this.

It's just that Bo Qingya's health is not good and he has never advocated splitting the family. This is why the Gu family business is still a giant.

In fact, the influence of the elders of the Gu family on Gu Jianghuai was limited. The scale of the family business that Gu Jianghuai took over back then was far from what it is today.

This is why Second Uncle Gu is obsessed with passing his son to Gu Jianghuai, otherwise he has to quietly kill Gu Jianghuai and take over. In short, other than that, it is not easy for him to get this family fortune.

Gu Deyin ignored Uncle Gu's ugly expression and spoke again.

"If Brother Ping is a capable person, then it's okay if I don't fight. But after Brother Ping came to Beijing, he didn't do anything serious. He did everything in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. If you don't believe it, I have someone here. certificate."

After saying that, regardless of her second uncle's face, she clapped her hands and called people in.

The person who came in was a young man from the Gu family. He had been following Gu Deping during this period, so he naturally knew what good things he had done.

Under Gu Deyin's instruction, he poured out all the immoral things Gu Deping had done.

There are countless gambling debts owed to which gambling houses, spending huge sums of money just to get a smile from the courtesan in a brothel, spending thousands of taels of silver on a feast on the first floor of the capital, fighting with others over a prostitute, and so on.

Uncle Gu's face turned pale. He had been targeting Gu Deyin during this period. He only focused on grabbing her pigtails. How could he care about his own son?
He didn't expect that his son would do so many ridiculous things within just a short period of time in Beijing, which made him angry and disgusted. But no matter what, he was still his son, and he couldn't really throw him out.

Just when I didn't know how to argue, I heard my eldest brother say, "Brother Ping is so mean-spirited that he cannot take on important responsibilities. The Gu family's property must never be left in his hands. Second brother, please adopt Brother Ping to me." There is no need to mention my matter in the future, I will not agree to it.”

In this matter, Uncle Gu can't defeat his eldest brother Gu Jianghuai. His son can't bear the heavy responsibility, so can his daughter Gu Deyin?

"Okay, big brother, I will never mention the adoption of Brother Ping to you in the future. My son is not good, so I will teach him slowly, and I will eventually be able to teach him well..."

"Second uncle, you look old at the age of three. Brother Ping is almost ten years old now. If you continue to teach him slowly, I'm afraid he will become a grandfather and you haven't taught him well yet. Alas, it's the fault of a son who doesn't teach his father."

Gu Deyin pretended to sigh a few words, which immediately made Uncle Gu so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.

He tried to calm down the anger in his chest and said in a cold voice, "How can my son be taught by himself without anyone having to worry about it? My niece, since you are determined to be my brother's heir, you can't ignore the old man who has followed my brother for many years. , as soon as he came to power, he would kick the old man out of the business. Is there anyone like you who behaves like this?"

After being beaten first by Gu Deyin, he finally made a comeback.

"Oh, second uncle, how do you say this? I consider myself to be fair and just in dealing with things..."

"Huh, fair and just? Listen to what they say."

Uncle Gu clapped his hands directly and asked the stewards who were unwilling to be driven away to come out one by one.

"Speak for yourself and let everyone listen."

These people were able to find Uncle Gu, so they naturally joined his camp, so under his instruction, they attributed the reason for their dismissal that day to Gu Deyin's desire to stand up to attack them, and they were light-hearted about their own mistakes. Passed by in one stroke.

Gu Deyin did not interrupt and let them talk, Gu Jianghuai remained silent, and Bo Qingya sneered.

After the group of people finished their accusations, shopkeeper Li, who had been sitting silently, stood up and said.

"I was a witness to the turmoil in the capital that day and what happened at the trading house. I always have the right to speak out, right?"

Shopkeeper Li is the chief shopkeeper of Gujia Trading Co., Ltd. in the capital. Everyone is convinced of his seniority, so they all agree.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Gu's eyelids twitched. At this time, he frowned and wanted to stop his eldest brother, his confidant, from talking, but there was no reason. He could not help but scratch his head and fidget in a hurry.

Shopkeeper Li ignored Uncle Gu and directly told what happened during the turmoil in the capital. The focus was on the greed for life and fear of death among these people in charge.

Finally, someone couldn't help but argue, "We endured the humiliation just to wait for our boss to come back and hold on to the family business first..."

"Yes, we are not betrayers, we are loyal subjects of the Gu Family Trading Company."

As soon as this voice came out, the dismissed stewards immediately complained to themselves and showed their shamelessness to the fullest.

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help laughing angrily at their confusing words. He picked up a stack of documents and said, "This is the loss of the Gu family business during the turmoil. If they manage the family business like this, no matter how big the family business is, they will lose it." It’s gone.”
