Chapter 306
The ancients have said: the heart is not enough to swallow the elephant.At first, perhaps the master of the Li family would be delighted to get this decent and well-paid job.But after a long time, it is inevitable that some other ideas will arise, for example... he worked hard for the embroidery workshop and the silk and satin factory, but the money he earned in the end was given to the boss who didn't know where he didn't do anything .For example, these past few years, Meiniang has been nothing more than a womanizer, yet she has placed herself on top of them in the name of a big steward.

For another example, when he misappropriated the money from the embroidery workshop for the first time and was not found out for the second time, one day when he was worrying about how to make up for the shortfall, he suddenly thought of an idea-if These have become his, does he still need to make up?
The Gu family's property is huge, so he can't do it alone.So he contacted Zhou Cheng, another manager who was also in charge of many properties like him, and the two hit it off.Originally, if they were given a few more years, they might be able to transfer all the assets in their hands and change them into their own. At that time, even if Meiniang wanted to pursue her as a woman, so what?
But who knew that Cheng Yaojin would come out on the way, and just when they were secretly complacent, a young son of the Gu family, Gu Liuyun, suddenly rushed out.And this is just a 30-year-old boy, who knows that he is more difficult to deal with than a [-]-[-]-year-old old fritters rolling in the mall. Zhou Chengcheng was thrown into prison just after meeting him.

That being the case, don't blame him for being cruel!Li Guanshi's face was full of hostility, and he said ruthlessly in his heart.

"Brother Li, is this going to work? Why hasn't the person you sent out returned yet?" In the study, a middle-aged woman dressed in expensive clothes and full of pearls asked anxiously.

Li Guanshi restrained the sinister look on his face, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry about lowering your eyebrows, he is just a yellow-haired boy who just arrived in the imperial city, how can he miss it? Just wait here with peace of mind Yes, brother Zhou will be able to come out of the cell safely in two days."

This woman was the wife of Zhou Cheng, the manager who was thrown into prison by Mu Qingyi.Mrs. Zhou was married after Zhou Cheng became the steward of the Gu family. Naturally, she was not an ordinary country girl.It's Xiaojiabiyu from a down-and-out scholar's family.It can be regarded as coming from a scholarly family, but unfortunately, the poor life in her early years made her love money more than Zhou Cheng.Zhou Cheng was reluctant to return the property he swallowed from the Gu family, and she was naturally even more reluctant.

Mrs. Zhou frowned and said, "For some reason, I always feel that my eyelids are twitching."

What Li Guanshi told her was also a little impetuous, and he said in a deep voice: "My brother and sister are thinking too much, let's wait for the good news. This time, we must send that kid Gu Liuyun to see the King of Hades."

"That's right, we sent Li'er and Ru Lan to serve him, and we've given him a lot of face, but he doesn't know how to flatter him." Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou also looked angry.Her daughter was born like a flower and a jade, that kid didn't know how to flatter her, and he scared her daughter into a serious illness, and now she is still lying at home unable to get up.At first, I thought that if the boy was sensible, she would have many good sons-in-law, and those properties would be regarded as Li'er's betrothal gift. Since Gu Liuyun is so ignorant, it is no wonder to them.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's appearance of fighting against the enemy, a scornful look flashed in Li Guanshi's eyes.What a fool!But idiots also have the benefits of being idiots. If things fail in the future, she will be the best scapegoat.

"Master Qi, there is a young master visiting outside the door." Outside the door, the servant said with some trepidation.

Li Guanshi didn't notice anything wrong with the servant's tone, and angrily scolded: "Bastard! Didn't my master say that I don't see any customers today!"

"But..." The servant said with a sad face, "But the young master said that you will definitely meet him."

Li Guanshi snorted lightly and said: "What son, I want to see what a great man with such a great style, what is his name..." While speaking, he opened the door of the study fiercely, but in The moment he saw the person outside the door, all words were blocked in the dragon's throat.

"Gu... Young Master Gu..." In the courtyard in front of the door, Mu Qingyi was dressed in white clothes like snow, calmly looking up at the blue sky above her head.The slender jade-like fingers carelessly played with the folding fan in his hand, showing a trace of inadvertent freedom and indifference.

But Guanshi Li's face turned pale with fright, and beads of sweat appeared on his frowning forehead, "Your...Young Master, why are you here?"

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly, "What's the matter? Manager Li isn't welcome?"

"Don't dare, don't dare..." Li Guanshi said cowardly, and asked Mu Qingyi and Wuxin to go in with a smile.Thinking secretly in his heart, if Gu Liuyun appeared here, obviously the people he sent had missed.So how much does Gu Liuyun know?If you didn't know something, you wouldn't bring people here for no reason, right?Thinking of this, the eyes looking at Mu Qingyi inadvertently brought a trace of killing intent.But after touching Wuxin's cold and heartless gaze, it turned into cold sweat.

"Young master, please come inside."

Mu Qingyi glanced at Li Guanshi with a half-smile, and walked into the study with Wuxin.After entering the study, I saw Madam Zhou who was still sitting inside.There wasn't much room in the study room, and Mrs. Zhou had nowhere to hide if she wanted to hide, so she had to bite the bullet and greet her, "This..."

"This is Mr. Gu..." Li Guanshi secretly winked and introduced him first.Turning around and laughing with Mu Qingyi again: "My lord, this is... brother Zhou's wife, she came to ask me to help me because of brother Zhou's affairs..."

Mrs. Zhou was not just an ignorant girl, she understood what Li Guanshi meant when she heard it.Immediately knelt down on the ground, weeping sadly: "Young master... Our master already knows that he is wrong, please give him a chance. The master has worked for the Gu family all his life, and he has worked hard without credit. Please let him go." Let him go. Even if I am a concubine, I will repay the son's kindness..."

"Bringing a grass ring?" Mu Qingyi's deep and gentle voice reminiscent of the fragrance in the study, said with a smile, "Didn't Mrs. Zhou despise Liu Yun and don't know how to flatter her? Mrs. Zhou's wearing a grass ring around Liu Yun may not be enough."

In the study, both of them were taken aback.Unexpectedly, Gu Liuyun had heard their conversation a long time ago.Li Guanshi stood up abruptly, before he had time to move, a gleaming sword caught sight of his neck, Wuxin stared at him coldly and said, "Don't move."

A big drop of sweat ran across Guanshi Li's forehead.Li Guanshi tried his best to force out a somewhat stiff smile, and said, "My lord... this, this is all a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding? What should I say?" Mu Qingyi asked with a smile.

"This..." Li Guanshi's mind was spinning quickly, but he couldn't think of how to pull himself out of the current predicament.Gu Liuyun can find him at home, so he must know a lot of things. He just heard the conversation between him and Mrs. Zhou, how can he justify it?
