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

Gu Deyin was actually a little confused. She thought Qi Jinzhi was just talking about hosting a banquet for Bo Qingya to receive the wind.

After all, they are a merchant family, and their family status is different from that of royal relatives.

Who knew he was really here?

And why did he come back from Xintai Temple so soon?

She briefly told everything that happened at Xintai Temple without any concealment, at least not allowing Bo Qingya to face Qi Jinzhi without knowing anything.

"That's what happened. I didn't expect him to be so difficult to deal with."

At this point, she felt a little regretful. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Bo Qingya saw the uncomfortable expression on Gu Deyin's face, and immediately did not dare to say harsh words, fearing that she would be sad.

"I just need to go to the banquet. You just need to pretend to be sick and not show up."

He didn't want Gu Deyin to have close contact with Qi Jinzhi. These relatives of the emperor and the country had eight hundred scheming minds, and he was afraid that his sister would suffer.

Besides, Qi Jinzhi was so beautiful, and he was even more worried that he would fall in love with Gu Deyin.

My sister is too naive and may not be able to withstand Uncle Guo's crazy offensive.

Even if he wants to reconcile in the future and choose a son-in-law, he hopes to find a reliable brother-in-law who can protect Gu Deyin for the rest of his life.

Who called him...

He glanced at his unsatisfactory body with dark eyes. He was a short-lived ghost and shouldn't be a drag on her.

It's just that these emotions passed by in a flash, and he didn't give Gu Deyin a chance to catch them.

Gu Deyin did not notice anything wrong with Bo Qingya for a moment, and just frowned.

"That's all we have now."

It seems that she deliberately went against the grain and failed to make Qi Jinzhi retreat, so she had to deliberately avoid it.

Bo Qingya comforted him, "Don't worry too much, I have my own way to deal with him."

These royal relatives gave face to these businessmen just for money.

Gu Deyin felt a little relieved now, she was very self-aware.

Even though I am pretty, what kind of beauty has I not seen before?

She is not so beautiful that she would be outraged.

Therefore, people must have other motives for approaching her, and the motive is nothing more than the wealth of the Gu family that rivals that of the country.

Money is a good thing, but money is also a hot potato.

She was favored by the Xu family because of her money, and also caught Qi Jinzhi's eye because of her money...

Wait, money?

She stood up abruptly as if she suddenly realized something, and only then did she realize that Bo Qingya had left while she was in a daze.

"Second Grandma, what's wrong?"

Hua Shu, Hua Chao and other maids immediately gathered around and asked with worried faces.

Gu Deyin said nothing, but turned back to the desk, took out a piece of white paper, dipped his pen in ink, and drew a diagram of the Xu family's in-law relationship.

Then he heavily circled his name.

Although her Gu family was from a humble family, their wealth was beyond the reach of the Xu family and her in-laws.

It has been more than a hundred years since the aristocratic family came to this point. There are many descendants who cannot live up to expectations, and the glory of the family can only be maintained, so the money can only be raised from the family to fill the holes.

This is the reason why Xu dared to die for a month.

She recalled her father's death in her previous life.

Her father died three years later when he encountered water bandits on his business trip, so she has been focusing on the future three years and neglecting the present.

What if her father's death was not an accident, but man-made?

Her heart pounded at the thought.

She recalled that in her previous life, after her father and adopted brother died, her biological uncle jumped out to fight for the family property, but because she was sad, she did not become suspicious. Thinking that she was a married woman, she stopped fighting with her second uncle.

But what were the Xu family doing at that time?

Mrs. Xu has been interested in her family's property for a day or two. Doesn't it mean that she won't fight if she doesn't want to?

no. Xu did not object at that time, so there was only one reason: she had already got what she wanted.

Her biological uncle, the second brother-in-law of the Gu family, was just a cover, and the real people in charge and the beneficiaries were the Xu family.

In this way, her father's death would not be an accident.

The Xu family colluded with the second wife of the Gu family and killed her father, thereby occupying her family's property.

Now, the Xu family is in many dangers because of her disruption, so they are even more willing to take risks.

The time to take action has been advanced.

After she figured out the relationship, her eyes turned red with anger and she grabbed the paper in her hand as hard as if she was squeezing the necks of everyone in the Xu family.

The Xu family bullied her too much!

It caused so much harm to her family.

She would never let everyone in the Xu family go, and they would definitely have to pay a heavy price.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to calm down the hatred in her heart.

"Second Grandma, your hand?"

Huashu discovered that because she held the paper too hard, her fingernails dug into the flesh of her palm, and blood oozed out.

Hua Chao hurriedly went to get the medicine box and prepared to bandage it.

When Gu Deyin heard this, she came back to her senses and realized that the paper in her hand had been stained with her blood. She didn't feel any pain. After all, what did it mean to realize the truth?

When Hua Chao was about to bandage her, she refused.

She wanted to remember this pain and the Gu family's blood feud.

"What day is it today?"

Huashu didn't know why his master suddenly asked this question, so he replied, "April 15th."

Gu Deyin narrowed her eyes slightly, the day she had been waiting for finally arrived.

"Have you done everything I asked you to prepare for Shopkeeper Li?"

Hua Shu was a little stunned, but then she remembered that her master had given the order before, so she hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Li is ready at any time."

"very good."

Gu Deyin nodded with satisfaction, then stood up to prepare his luggage for tonight's trip.

She deliberately chose a slightly conspicuous piece of clothing, and even her headdress was chosen carefully.

Tonight, she would have a good meeting with the regent.

Moreover, the regent was destined to owe her a huge favor.

She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled coldly.

The capital city is very lively tonight. The people of the Great Shang Dynasty are open to the public. There is a lantern festival on the fifteenth day of every month, which not only stimulates the economy, but also creates opportunities for lovers to date.

Before Gu Deyin left the palace, she would ask Bo Qingya to secretly take her to the lantern festival. It was here that she met Xu Ningyu for the first time.

She never thought that love at first sight would sow such great trouble in her life.

With the past unbearable to look back on, she gathered her thoughts and began to look at the passers-by around her.

She came here not to enjoy the lanterns or to reminisce about the past, but to be someone's savior.

Time passed slowly, and she was inevitably a little anxious. Why hasn't it happened yet?

It was impossible for her to remember such an important thing wrong. Because she had confidence in herself, she suppressed her temper and pretended to look at the lanterns, but in fact she was looking in all directions and listening to all directions.

Just when she was anxious, she happened to hear a little girl calling for help.

"Let me go, who are you? Why are you arresting me? Do you know who I am, I...well..."

It was obvious that the little girl was gagged and could not make any sound.

Gu Deyin appeared at the right time and blocked the way of the thief who was about to steal the little girl.

"Bold maniac, why don't you let go of this girl quickly..."

The thieves obviously had a group of people. When they saw that the person who came to stop him was a young woman, they didn't even notice her and directly showed her the knife to threaten her.

"If you dare to meddle in other people's business, don't blame me for being rude with my knife. If you don't want to die, just get out of the way." (End of Chapter)
