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

Chapter 4 Are you worthy too?
  Gu Deyin now knows Xu Ningyu's virtue very well.

If he can't get any favors from her, he will definitely be forced to do something hard.

This soft-boiled man would do anything for his adulterous son.

At this time, she called her most loyal maid, Hua Shu, and gave her some instructions directly in her ear.

Hua Shu opened her eyes wide in astonishment, "Second Grandma, do we really have to do this so brilliantly?"

Although she has always had problems with Xu Ningyu, her master's love for him is deep.

Looking at it all the way, she understood it all too well.

She is not afraid of ten thousand, but what if the master regrets it?
  After all, couples fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.

Although the second master has never stayed in Lanxinyuan, he will not change his mind in the future.

Gu Deyin saw the worry in Hua Shu's eyes, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

At this moment, she looked serious and said firmly, "I have given up on him."

Huashu looked at his master in surprise.

It took a while before she really believed what her master said, "I'll do it now, slave."

Gu Deyin nodded.

Hua Shu immediately left the house and went straight to the Gu family business to find shopkeeper Li.

Gu Deyin here was not idle either and began to count her dowry.

In the past three years of her marriage, she had spent a lot on the Hou Mansion. Now she had to settle the accounts clearly so that she could get them back later.

Several personal maids were very busy.

After all, Gu Deyin's dowry was so huge that it was not easy to count it all in a short while.

Nanny Li, who was recovering from illness, heard the news and came to see Gu Deyin while holding on to her sick body.

"Why is the second grandma making such a big fuss? If word spreads, there will be gossip again..."

As soon as she opened the curtain and came in, she frowned when she heard the sound of abacus beads.

Gu Deyin didn't even look at her from the corner of his eyes, but continued to look at the account book in front of him.

"What are you doing, grandma? You've been kicked in the heart. It's important to have a good life. Worrying too much may shorten your life span."

When Grandma Li heard this, her face was full of displeasure.

"Second Grandma, why do you speak so harshly? No wonder the Second Master wants to get angry with you. This woman needs to be gentle, so that men will like her..."

Gu Deyin couldn't bear the trouble and directly closed the account book in his hand vigorously.

Aunt Li finally calmed down, but she still muttered in a low voice.

Gu Deyin was impatient to talk to her anymore and gave instructions to the nearest maid.

"You can help Nanny Li go back and have a rest."

Grandma Li didn't want to leave, but she was forced to hold her up, so she couldn't help but do it again.

Just when she was about to act up and cause trouble, she heard Gu Deyin say, "Wait a minute."

It seemed that the master still had some concerns about her. She was secretly happy and began to think about words of persuasion.

Unexpectedly, Gu Deyin said, "Hua Chao, go and untie the key from Grandma Li. From now on, this warehouse will be yours to take care of. Grandma will not need to be distracted by trivial matters in the future, so that she will recover quickly."

When Grandma Li heard this, her heart suddenly became cold.

"No, no, Second Grandma, you have forgotten that you grew up on the milk of an old slave when you were a child..."

"I have not forgotten that the honor and support that should be given to grandma will not be less."

Gu Deyin made a look, and Hua Chao no longer hesitated, stepped forward and unlocked the key that Nanny Li was hanging on her body.

Grandma Li was about to say something, but she was forcefully dragged away with her mouth covered.

Hua Chao stepped forward and said, "Second Grandma, Grandma Li used to steal things in the warehouse a lot."

Gu Deyin took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Remember it first."

We'll settle the score later.

Hua Chao responded, now that Nanny Li could no longer turn over, it was a pleasant thing. Liu Ruohe on the other side of the room paced back and forth in the brightly lit room for a long time before waiting for the maid who had been sent out to return.

Unexpectedly, it brought her bad news.

"What? Then Grandma Li has been deprived of the right to manage the warehouse?"

Isn't this person Gu Deyin's nanny?

Gu Deyin always listened to her the most, what happened to her today?
  Everything is not going well.

The maid then said, "Grandma, Grandma Li said that she can't help Grandma now, but she still asks Grandma to remember the past friendship and never lose a penny of the money promised to her. "

"Damn it!" Liu Ruohe was so angry that he swept the things on the small tea table to the ground, "Does she still have the nerve to ask for money?"

The maid didn't dare to say anything anymore, for fear of being swept away by the typhoon.

Liu Ruohe gritted her teeth, and now she could only hope that Xu Ningyu would go well tomorrow.

The next day, at the urging of his sweetheart, Xu Ningyu set off early for the Gu Family Trading Company.

Yesterday, he sent someone to bring a letter to Shopkeeper Li, without giving him the slightest chance to refuse the meeting.

Shopkeeper Li has also been waiting early in the morning.

Seeing Xu Ningyu's arrival, he hurriedly carried his robe and stepped forward to greet him.

Xu Ningyu put on the air of a disciple of the Hou family and swaggered towards the back room, greeted by shopkeeper Li.

After sitting down and exchanging a few words, he got straight to the point.

Shopkeeper Li, however, slapped his head with annoyance on his face.

"Uncle, this is really unlucky."

Xu Ningyu's heart tightened, "What should I say?"

"Originally, the business store had a century-old ginseng plant, but Eunuch Zhang needed it urgently yesterday and sent someone to get it..."

Xu Ningyu's face immediately sank, "Did you decide for him?"

"It's hard to refuse even if you're young. After all, the master has given orders, so we can't neglect Eunuch Zhang..."

This father-in-law is a popular figure in front of the Queen Mother, who dares to offend him?
  Shopkeeper Li smiled apologetically.

Xu Ningyu couldn't take it out on him at the moment. After all, he was just the uncle of the Gu family, not the head of the Gu family.

This matter goes around and around, and it has to come back to Gu Deyin.

At noon that day, Gu Deyin saw Xu Ningyu coming to Lan Xinyuan again.

She was having lunch, so she said rudely, "Go aside, I see you have black hair and a black face, and you have a loss of appetite."

"Gu Deyin!"

Gu Deyin stared.

Xu Ningyu was about to have a fit, but thought that he had something to ask of her.

Since she was angry for a long time after saying she couldn't do it yesterday, she could only purse her lips and sit down somewhere where she couldn't see him.

The corners of Gu Deyin's mouth raised, and he ate the delicious food leisurely. He had the biggest meal in the world.

Seeing her slow eating movements, Xu Ningyu suddenly became angry again.

Then, he turned his head and looked to the other side, out of sight.

Gu Deyin wants to eat this and that, and her voice fills the room.

Fortunately for her, lunch took nearly half an hour.

If he hadn't been thinking about Brother Zhu who was still ill, how could Xu Ningyu have sat there for so long?
  Seeing that she finally wiped her mouth and asked someone to clear the table, he unceremoniously stepped forward and sat across from her.

"Gu Deyin, are you deliberately leaving me alone?"

Gu Deyin paused to drink tea to relieve his tiredness, then glanced sideways at him, "Are you worthy?"

Xu Ningyu's expression changed, feeling extremely humiliated. Fortunately, he was still rational and did not have an attack on the spot.

After calming down, he said, "Gu Deyin, I'm not here to quarrel with you. Let's talk nicely, okay?"
