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

Gu Deyin was not surprised. This old lady was very smart and didn't want to contribute to the Hou Mansion. She just wanted to watch from the shore, so she didn't blame her for hiding aside.

It seemed that no one in the Xu family was trying to exonerate Xu Xiaoli and the Xu family. The coldness of the Xu family once again refreshed her understanding.

"Girl, should we give the old lady a ride?"

Hearing Hua Chao's question, Gu Deyin shook his head, "It's not necessary."

Her fate with Mrs. Xu has ended. There is no need and they will not meet again in the future, otherwise it will be endless embarrassment.

After hearing his master's words, Hua Chao stopped mentioning this topic.

Suddenly, a servant came in and reported that the third master of the Xu family was here.

Gu Deyin was not surprised that he would come to the door in person, "Invite him in."

She was about to go out, so she no longer changed into the clothes to meet the guests, and met Xu Ningkai directly in the flower hall.

Xu Ningkai was waiting in the flower hall. As soon as she entered Gu's house, the wealth of the Gu family immediately hit her nose.

He couldn't help but feel that his mother, Mrs. Xu, was partial and had carefully planned for his brother, but when it was his turn, she just found someone to do it perfunctorily.

Bai Nianhan's family background is inferior to that of his eldest sister-in-law Liu Ruohe, his financial resources are not as good as Gu Deyin's, and his character is not outstanding. There is really nothing he can do.

His dislike for Bai Nianhan grew stronger in his heart.

Seeing Gu Deyin walking in surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, he came to his senses and immediately stood up to greet Gu Deyin.

Gu Deyin returned the greeting, and then the two of them sat down respectively.

Xu Ningkai said in a daze, "Second sister-in-law, I still have some debts I owe you that I really don't have the ability to pay back. How about I write you an IOU and I will pay you back one day when I am able. What do you think?"

Gu Deyin's impression of Xu Ningkai was actually pretty good. He was a clear-minded person, but he was not lively and his communication skills were weak. He was a transparent person in the Xu family.

Mrs. Xu did not dote on her younger son.

"If it were anyone else, I would definitely not agree to it, but since you asked to come, I will definitely not disgrace you."

Xu Ningkai was a little nervous at first, but when he heard Gu Deyin's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. If you send me for something in the future, I will not refuse."

Gu Deyin nodded, and then motioned Hua Chao to step forward and take stock.

Butler Gu saw that Xu Ning was not looking for trouble, so he gave Xu Ning a good look.

After Hua Chao counted the items, he listed the remaining amount and showed it to Gu Deyin.

When Gu Dejian saw it, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Ningkai. He didn't expect that this brother-in-law had such courage and could actually force Bai Nianhan's dowry out. She had really underestimated him before.

This is a silent and ruthless man. In fact, he is more suitable to be the prince of the Hou family than the scumbag Xu Ningyu, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time.

Xu Ningkai's scalp was numb when Gu Deyin looked at him, but he didn't dare to ask. Fortunately, Gu Deyin quickly looked away, and he felt that his breathing became much easier.

"The remaining amount is not much, Third Uncle. I don't want you to write an IOU this time. The accounts between us have been settled."

Xu Ningkai was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Deyin was so talkative.

The good thing about pie in the sky did not make him lose his way. After all, there is no free lunch in this world.

He had seen how fiercely Gu Deyin dealt with his parents, second brother and eldest sister-in-law, and he suddenly had a thought in his heart. Did she have no reason to treat him differently?

He knew very well that when Gu Deyin was struggling in the Hou Mansion, he did not provide any help because he avoided suspicion, and he did not even deal with her easily, for fear that there would be rumors.

So what is it about him that deserves Gu Deyin to be so kind to him?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. No, you can't be too greedy, otherwise you won't even know you will suffer.

After weighing the pros and cons, he simply refused.

"I should be grateful to my second sister-in-law for her kindness, but in the end it's all for nothing. I'm afraid I'll be troubled day and night. Why don't you just let me write an IOU."

When Gu Deyin heard this, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.

In just a moment, she knew what Xu Ningkai was worried about. He was afraid that she would make things difficult for him in the future, so he would rather pay back the money than accept her kindness.

She was impressed by this man's sober understanding, and at the same time, she felt more and more that he was not a person who could achieve great things. After all, he was too cautious and had lived within the rules all his life, and it was difficult to make a big difference.

"Since you are so insistent, then naturally I won't make it difficult for you. Hua Chao, prepare the four treasures of the study for Mr. Xu."

When Xu Ningkai heard this, his tense scalp relaxed a little. Fortunately, Gu Deyin was still reasonable.

He quickly wrote the IOU and handed it to his servants in person to present to Gu Deyin.

After the matter was done, he didn't stay long and stood up to say goodbye and left.

When Butler Gu saw the person walking away, he snorted coldly, "This person is better than his brother."

He was able to withstand the temptation of money, and good bamboo shoots grew out of the bunch of evil bamboos in the Xu family.

Gu Deyin said with a smile, "It would be too cold to protect oneself too wisely."

Butler Gu thought for a while, Xu Ningkai was a son and did not work on his parents' case, and now he was eager to clear up the relationship with his girl. The Xu family's son was raised in vain.

"Sure enough, there is no good person in the Xu family."

Hearing Butler Gu's complaints, Gu Deyin deeply agreed.

After dealing with these trivial matters, she was about to get on the carriage and leave the house, when she heard someone coming to visit again.

She frowned suddenly. She had just returned to the Gu Mansion, why were there so many bullshit people coming to her door?

So he said angrily, "Who is visiting me this time?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard an uncomfortable joking sound.

"What? My visit makes you so unhappy? It's a pity that as soon as I heard that you were poisoned, I hurriedly put aside what I was doing and came to visit. You are so heartless."

As soon as she heard the voice, she knew who it was without having to meet the person.

As expected, it is the person who is still lingering in Qi Jinzhi.

She quickly squeezed out a smile and stepped forward to greet him, "I have met Uncle Guo, but I didn't expect that my matter would alarm Uncle Guo. This makes me very scared."

Qi Jinzhi looked at her carefully and saw that her face was still pale and bloodless, and she looked quite haggard. Fortunately, she was fine.

This made him feel relieved for no reason.

When he heard that she had been poisoned and killed by her husband's family, he was so worried that he ignored the urgent matter at hand and hurried back to the capital to see her.

Only when he saw her well with his own eyes did his impatience of rushing for the past two days dissipate.

However, Gu Deyin saw a Qi Jinzhi who was not refined. At least compared to before, he looked much rougher, and his whole person was even more dusty. He had obviously just returned from overseas.

"Uncle Guo, what is this?"

Seeing the doubt in Gu Deyin's eyes, Qi Jinzhi coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"It's nothing, I just returned to Beijing in a hurry and didn't have time to rest."

Gu Dejian was even more curious now. Their friendship was not good enough for him to rush over to comfort her as soon as he returned to Beijing. This was unreasonable.

If something went wrong, there must be a monster, and she immediately became more vigilant.

"In this case, I don't want to stay with my uncle in the country too much, otherwise it will be my fault..."

Qi Jinzhi now had the intention to tease her, "You heartless person, who am I running all this for..."

Gu Deyin quickly laughed out loud and interrupted him, "It must be for someone's confidante. It's definitely not for me, a married woman..."

She bit the words "married woman" tightly, reminding the other party that she was not suitable for him to hunt.

Unexpectedly, Qi Jinzhi approached her, stared at her and said, "I heard that you want to make peace?"
