Chapter 458 Mutual Suspicion
The story of Jinxiufang has been spread for so long, and the news that was originally full of uproar has calmed down a lot.

Because there has been no movement, some people speculate that the big shopkeeper of Jinxiufang has repented. The reason for the rumors before was that the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper separated.

In addition, Mr. Zhu, who is the second shopkeeper, has already escaped from the shop and settled in another embroidery building at this time, which adds a little more convincing to the news.

Those who are so suspicious have to go to Zhu Xiucai to inquire about the news, but Zhu Xiucai thinks that he has betrayed the princess, so he dares to say more, let others bully and lure him, all of which are closed teeth, except for the business, a superfluous word Will not say.

Being so mysterious makes people's hearts itchy more and more.

Among them was Gu's. No one else knew, but she knew that Zhu Xiucai was Ding Xiang's biological father.It wasn't that she hadn't thought about the relationship between Jinxiu Fang and Chu Liangrao, but she thought about how she had been a housekeeper for so many years, so Chu Liangrao shouldn't have so much money in her room.

As for the dowry, the eyeliner she sent had also been checked, and Chu Liangrao hadn't touched it until now, so where did he get so much money to open the shop?
Coupled with the fact that Mama Du came to ask her what she wanted, she was even more certain that Zhu Xiucai's entry into Jinxiufang was all due to chance and coincidence.

However, this person can be used. After all, Ding Xiang is still Chu Liangrao's maid, so if she, a mother, asks for her, it's not impossible.

Unable to hold back, Mrs. Gu sent someone to find Zhu Xiucai, and directly asked about the real situation of Jinxiufang.

Zhu Xiucai inquired about the sale of Jinxiufang and guessed what Chu Liangrao was thinking. The sale of Jinxiufang was just an empty shelf. If the shop is gone, you can buy another one, but if the people are gone, then everything will be useless.No matter which one of these embroiderers is skilled and extraordinary, even if the shop is sold, it may not be able to open.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiucai cooperated with Chu Liangrao to act in a play, only saying that the other party's identity was mysterious and he was just running errands, but the sale of this store was the truth, if it wasn't for his lack of savings, he would also want to buy a pension .

After hearing this, Gu's eyes lit up.

She may not believe what others say, but Zhu Xiucai is just a pedantic scholar, even if he has studied business for a few days, what extra thoughts can he have?Immediately passed the accurate news of himself to the person who wanted to partner.

Mrs. Cao was one of them, followed by Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen.

The four of them get together, and naturally they are inseparable from Chu Liangrao's secret promotion, but speaking of it, likes gather together and people are divided into groups. None of these wives have good intentions, otherwise they would not have a crooked mind to plot Profit.

Among them, although Gu's status is the most distinguished, her savings are also at the bottom.

Mrs. Cao is rich and powerful, and Mrs. Zhang's natal family is also unusual. As for Mrs. Chen, she is a little inferior.

Everyone shared a share, and naturally they didn't want to let outsiders get involved, so after the news was confirmed, several people got together.

Mrs. Cao is already an ancestor, and her family property is rich, so she speaks no less than Mrs. Gu.Knowing that she was too shy, Gu didn't bother to compete with her for the limelight. It's useless to compete with her now, and the serious thing is to get the shares in her hands.

Several people had a meeting, and each handed over the bottom line, and fixed the number of stocks to be bought.

"The head of Jinxiufang is indeed quite wise in coming up with this idea." Mrs. Cao said, "But he missed a little bit. If we are the only bidders, how much should we bid? It's still up to us ?”

"Sister Cao is exactly what she said." Mrs. Zhang agreed with a smile, "With Sister Cao and Princess Wang coming forward, who else would not have eyes to grab us?"

"That's not sure." Mrs. Chen's face was a bit gloomy. Although she is now in an alliance with Mrs. Cao, the pain of losing her daughter is still in her heart, so she is still not convinced by what Mrs. Cao said.

Glancing at Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Cao asked indifferently: "What worries my in-laws, why don't you say it out, and we can help you find a solution together, there is always a solution, right?"

Mrs. Chen twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Have you forgotten Mrs. Xiong?"

Seeing that no one in the room responded, she continued: "She has visited many people these days, we can get news, maybe she won't get it."

"So what?" Mrs. Cao chuckled, "She is the most arrogant person, how could she be willing to share a share with others?"

Mrs. Zhang obeyed her words, and immediately responded: "Exactly. Although Mrs. Xiong has a rich family, how can it compare with the joint efforts of the few of us? Even if she finds someone, so what? Do you really dare to have trouble with the princess?"

Mrs. Gu, who was flattered, laughed and said: "This is flattering my princess, but Mrs. Xiong really wanted to please her a few days ago, and she took out the thousand-year-old purple ginseng that was treasured at home." Looking surprised, she smiled triumphantly, "Although this purple ginseng is rare, but I don't like her attitude, so I retreated."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Zhang praised Mrs. Gu for her righteousness, but Mrs. Chen just snorted softly.

Although she was dissatisfied, Mrs. Chen also knew that if she and Mrs. Cao were not related by marriage, she might not be able to get such a good thing, so no matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to endure it.Now that her daughter is gone, and she has no heirs under her knees, she has to plan for herself, or she will take advantage of those concubines.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen suppressed her dissatisfaction and began to flatter Mrs. Gu.

According to Gu's character, how could he return the gift he got?It was clearly a lie, but no one exposed it.

Gu's contribution to this matter is indispensable from the beginning to the end, so they will not take it lightly.

Of course, they also have their own precautions, lest the other party cross the river and tear down the bridge, they all kept their cards.

So in such a situation of harmony on the surface and mutual defense on the inside, the four of them ushered in the exact date of the auction.

The location is just above the third floor of Jinxiufang. It is said that only VIPs can go to the top floor. Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang, who have never been there before, can't help yearning for it. What kind of mystery will there be on the third floor?

For the day of the auction, Jinxiu Fang also made arrangements. Just for the tea and snacks, the list was written in advance. In order to avoid insufficient seats, bamboo mats and low tables were also set up, which looked quite bookish. .

The already arty wives saw that they were satisfied, and their hearts that had already made up their minds became more and more enthusiastic, but how could things go so smoothly?
