C2 The Situation of the Gu Family

Second Master Gu knew that he did not have the brains to do business, and could not get into the government, so he followed his own younger brother as an assistant.

But the long room felt that the entire Gu family belonged to them, and complained about letting the three rooms manage the business. Although the Old Master didn't have much ability, he could still speak properly in the Gu family, and the long room couldn't resist.

He had used their relationship to arrange a job for Master Gu in the transportation hall. It could be considered a success for all of them, but something had happened to Third Master Gu.

Since then, the situation of the Gu family had changed once again. Second Master Gu was also not good at managing, so the Gu family's business had suffered a crushing defeat. It was good that they had been able to maintain their current position without losing anything.

Although the other two houses were affected, they were not as wretched or widowed as the third one. A woman dragged a girl and a child through life, living in the shadow of the long room ever since.

Third Young Master Gu Qingshi was born from a concubine. At the age of 16, he was born from an imperial concubine. Third Young Miss Gu Qingyue was born from a concubine. At the age of 15, he was born from a concubine, Aunt Qiao. There was also a concubine, Aunt Tian and an concubine, Aunt Li.

She was five months older than the Third Miss, eight months older than the Fourth Miss. The three of them were a year old, and the Second Room's Fifth Miss, Gu Qingshuang, was 13 years old this year. She was also the only concubine in the Second Room.

Gu Qingwai lived in the third house, and her younger brother was called Gu Qingchen. He was 13 years old this year, and could be considered the future hope of the third house.

When the Third Master passed away, Gu Qingwai was only five years old and his younger brother Gu Qingchen was only three years old. He had always been bullied by a few children in the family and had developed a weak character.

She had not done anything alarming in her life. The only time she had ever done this was probably to rebel against her family and commit suicide. Then, she would be taken over by her current self.

Gu Qingwai, who had understood the situation, couldn't help but curse in his heart. What was going on? He originally thought that he had transmigrated to a wealthy family clan and became a daughter of a rich family. In the end, he thought that he had become a gold and jade family member that had fallen from grace.

The road ahead of me is also difficult, the old lady has no qualms about favoring her son, the old man has no qualms about pretending to be ignorant, he has everything to do, the second house does not fight for it, no one is offended, the first room controls the whole family, Madam Guan has a warm expression on her face, Master Guan has a strong desire for money and Madame Guan is working together!

In such a chaotic world, it was not easy for her to escape from her present fate as a woman. He really had to think carefully about how to walk on the road ahead.

By the time they arrived, the main room was already filled with people. Gu Qingcheng looked around and saw that they were all there. The old lady was sitting in the middle, while the second room was on both sides. Were these the three halls of interrogation?

The third room was located close to the door. Every time they came to the main room, the third room would be at the edge of the room. The third room was close to the door.

When had Madam Song ever been treated like this before? She couldn't help but flinch and wanted to step back, but it was Gu Qing Wan who quietly supported her from behind. She didn't reveal her fear on the spot.

Gu Qingchen had already made up his mind. Now, he was trying his best to resist the urge to run, so he forced himself to go inside.

Seeing this, Gu Qingwan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Just how inconsequential was she? Everyone was so furious after seeing this. No wonder the long room dared to scheme against them so recklessly!

They first paid their respects to the Old Granny. The Old Granny gave a "hmm" in response, and the Old Master casually said, "Since you've come, then take a seat."

Gu Qing Wan'er's face was still rather pale as she helped Madam Song to her seat. Gu Qing Chen watched over her carefully from the side, just in case anything happened to his elder sister.

After they had settled down, Madam Guan looked at Gu Qing Wan's kind smile and said, "Qing Qing's body is fine, but I can see that her face is still pale. I still have the nest my older brother sent over, so I'll send it over to you later to properly mend my body." With a gentle and magnanimous appearance, he didn't mention at all why she was in such a bad condition.

This aunt was very good at handling people and arranging everything perfectly, but she had such a foolish daughter. If it wasn't for Gu Qingshuang revealing everything beforehand, she might not have known about it by the time everything settled down. At that time, she would truly be powerless.

Whether it was because she didn't dare to offend him or for the sake of her uncle's position, the old lady would have plenty of methods to force them to submit. After all, Gu Qingchen and Madame Song were still working under her, and at that time, the Old Master wouldn't care too much about ruining the future of a granddaughter.

This family all had their own methods, only the Third Branch was really pure, how could they be their match! No wonder the original owner had developed such a personality!

"Thank you, aunt. I'm still young, so I can't afford this kind of supplement. However, I'm here to borrow some flowers to gift to the ancestor, so aunt shouldn't take offense at this." Gu Qingwan stood up and bowed, then smiled slightly and spoke softly.

When Old Granny previously heard Madam Guan mention the bird's nest that her eldest brother had sent over last year, she was a little angry. With such a good thing, she didn't know if she should be filial or not, so she took it out to pretend to be a good person.

The old lady was an eccentric eldest son, but she was only limited to her eldest son and a few grandchildren, not including Madam Guan.

At this time, when she heard that Gu Qingcheng wanted to give her the bird's nest, she became even more happy. The fourth girl had a good eye, she understood a lot of things that happened and smiled at her, "You should make up for it. I think the fourth lady has lost weight!"

"That's because the Old Ancestor dotes on me, but he hasn't lost any weight at all." Gu Qing Wan smiled sincerely, those who didn't know what was going on would think that the old lady really did love her.

Everyone was looking at her as if they had seen a ghost. Even when she died, it was as if she had changed into a different person, especially Madam Guan. She clearly saw the old lady's expression change.

At this time, he could only sit there with a stiff smile, "It's my fault. I always thought that the old lady would not like my idea of a bird's nest, so I didn't dare to send it to you. This time, I can only embarrass myself when Fourth Miss says this."

"What can I despise? I don't have any good stuff! " He did not expect the old lady to retort immediately. Her tone was filled with dissatisfaction. This time, Madam Guan had used a stone to smash her own foot. She could only endure the pain!

Madam Guan thought of Gu Qing Wan's words and immediately hated her a bit more. "Old Ancestor, don't be angry. It's all my fault that I can't speak and make you unhappy." He had a helpless look on his face.

Madam Guan felt that Gu Qing Wan was still as useless as before. She must have made a mistake when she said that last sentence. She didn't have so many thoughts when she saw that Gu Qing Wan was usually trying to please the old lady.

Thinking like this, he felt that he would definitely succeed in his plan. No matter what, Third Young Madam had to contribute to the long room in order to support them after all these years!

When the old lady saw Gu Qing Wan's cowering appearance, she immediately lost interest. It was obvious that she didn't want to continue the topic of conversation, so she waved for Gu Qing Wan to sit down and get down to business.

Of course, Gu Qingcheng wasn't trying to smooth things over for Madam Guan. She would definitely seek justice for the culprit who had indirectly killed the original owner, since she had taken over the body. She wouldn't let any of the culprits off. This was exactly how she was going to take revenge!

The reason he was speaking up for her was to lower her guard and dispel her worries. Only then would Madam Guan be able to get down to business and he would have the chance to collect some interest for himself.

If Madam Guan was suspicious earlier, she might have decided to stay put. The longer the fight dragged on, the worse it would be for her. After all, she had nothing on her side, so it would be easy for her to bully them.

When everyone was seated again, Madam Guan looked at the old lady in the main seat. She glanced at her, then put down her teacup and looked around to make sure that everyone's attention was focused on her. She then slowly said, "The main reason why I called you here today is to announce that this matter concerns the future of the Gu family."

At this point, she deliberately paused, then calmly sat there, waiting for someone to ask a question. Only then would she be able to continue.

However, at this time, no one was willing to speak first. Actually, everyone was well aware that Madam Guan had asked everyone to come. Everyone knew what the announcement was. This matter was too wicked and no one wanted to be the first one to speak.

Third Young Madam had always been a person who had no say in matters of the heart. Besides, Third Young Madam was somewhat aware of the situation, so it was even more impossible for her to hand over ladders for others to plot against her.
