Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 247 The Debt Collector Returns

Gu Sixiao laughed out loud, looking at Chu Mengsheng, his eyes were as cold as a sword, "Who will allow me?! What, what do I want to be called, you have to agree with Dr. Chu? Or, the name Gu Sixiao reminds you of What, feel uncomfortable?! Ah, yes, the name Gu Sixiao is the name of the little lady of the Gu family. I remember it very clearly, that kind-hearted little lady..."

She whispered, but suddenly turned sharp, "But she died! She died so badly that she didn't even know where her bones were buried."

"Dead?!" Chu Mengsheng's eyes widened, obviously frightened, "It's not her and others—yes, yes, if she wasn't dead, how could she..."

"It seems that Dr. Chu doesn't care much about state affairs!" Gu Sixiao sneered, "If you have read the announcement in front of the yamen, you should know that among the crimes listed for the crown prince's conspiracy, are covering up relatives, disturbing As for the law and discipline, you should also see the announcement of Songjiang Gu Liubai's redress, and you should know that the real culprit in the Songjiang Peach Blossom Fan case is Zheng Xuan, and the little lady of the Gu family was murdered by Zheng Xuan!"

One sentence after another, followed by shouting and asking, Xu Zhiyuan didn't even give Chu Mengsheng a chance to digest the news, and said directly: "Let me tell you, I not only want to be called Gu Sixiao, but also to rebuild the Gu family in Songjiang, and to let everyone in Songjiang As long as people look up, they will be able to see the plaque of King Gu's Fan!"

He staggered and fell back uncontrollably. Chu Mengsheng barely stabilized his figure, stared at Gu Sixiao in a daze, and asked in a shy voice, "Who the hell are you?!"

"Who do you say I am?" Gu Sixiao smiled slightly, leaned forward, looked at Chu Mengsheng with a smile, and whispered: "Perhaps, I am a ghost who came to take revenge!"

Almost fell over, Chu Mengsheng stared at Gu Sixiao, as if possessed by a demon, even his eyes were a little strange.

Facing his gaze, Gu Sixiao raised the corners of his mouth, but smiled with a bit of evil spirit.

As if frightened, Chu Mengsheng turned his head abruptly, and left without saying a word.

Looking at Chu Mengsheng's back, Gu Sixiao said with a smile: "Please trouble Dr. Chu to tell your father-in-law that the debt collector is here! Shan Tian, ​​follow Dr. Chu, if he doesn't remember what prescription he prescribed , go and invite another good doctor! This Songjiang is not just a doctor like Chu Mengsheng!"

Yamada Jiro answered loudly outside, followed Chu Mengsheng out, and kept asking, "Doctor Chu, do you still remember? If I don't, I'll go find another doctor now!"

No need to look, Gu Sixiao can also imagine what Chu Mengsheng's face looks like.

Chu Mengsheng has always claimed to be a famous doctor in Songjiang, but now that he is so disliked by others, he must feel ashamed.

What made him panic even more was probably the sudden news that the Gu family had been rehabilitated?
In the past, he was so afraid of being implicated in his reputation, but now that the Gu family has cleared their grievances, then the Chu family, who was afraid of being implicated and immediately resigned, and who were too noble to marry a filthy family, how would they escape revenge and gain fame? What about reputation? !

"Actually, he also..." sad.

When the words came to his lips, Su Jingchun swallowed the words back.

Even the man showed a look of sadness when he first heard the bad news, but it was too late.

What is missed is missed, and it can no longer be retrieved.Moreover, he never wanted Si Xiao to feel pity for that man again.

Looking at Gu Sixiao who couldn't suppress her smile and complacency, Su Jingchun thought about it, and smiled gently.

It is natural to have such emotions after being suppressed for so long and suddenly burst out.

"Sixiao," pulling Gu Sixiao's hand, Su Jingchun said softly, "Samada will bring the doctor back soon, why don't you see what old man Zhang still lacks!"

Being pulled by him, Gu Sixiao also came back to his senses.

Feeling that she had lost her composure just now, she wiped her face and looked at Su Jingchun with some embarrassment.

"Ma'am, you heard it just now. The doctor said that Mr. Zhang's illness needs rest. Otherwise, here I..."

Gu Sixiao hasn't said how to help others, but Mrs. Zhang has already shaken her head, "You don't get rewarded for nothing, my son is a scholar, and although our old couple are big and rough, we can't embarrass my son."

Looking at Gu Sixiao, she said sternly: "Thank you, little lady, for helping my old man hire a doctor. We will pay back the money in the future. As for the other things, little lady, don't bother. Even if you say it's a favor, but a piece of pancake, really It's not worth it."

Although her tone was blunt, Gu Sixiao couldn't help but admire what the old lady said.

Knowing that if she gave money now, the old lady would never accept it, so Gu Sixiao swallowed the words that came to her lips, and then said: "Ma'am, I don't want to give you money, I just want to say, a little I will settle down in Songjiang in the future. At that time, I will need manpower for the house I live in and the shop I want to open. You see, old man Zhang needs to recuperate, and the work of taking care of Ye Xiang is also very tiring, dirty and hard. What will he do? What about recuperating? Why don't I ask old man Zhang to help me, either in the mansion or in the shop as a watchman."

Seeing that the old lady raised her eyebrows and remained silent, Gu Sixiao said again: "This is also two conveniences. First, the old man can have a good rest and take care of his body. Second, I have someone trustworthy to watch over me, so I You can also relax and don't have to worry about it. You see, this is because you helped me."

Having said that, the old lady is very clear in her heart.

"Little lady, how can you feel good about helping us like this? How about this, my old man will help you, and you don't need to pay him, as long as you provide him with three meals a day, that's enough. People like you , even as a servant, if you think about it, you will eat well."

Feeling sour, Gu Sixiao just smiled and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, our family eats very well. Madam, I heard you washed clothes for people?"

"Yes, I'm helping people wash clothes." When this was mentioned, the old lady also smiled, "Didn't you see just now, I wash very clean."

"It's clean," Gu Sixiao smiled, and said softly, "I'm also short of people who wash my clothes, why don't you help me wash my clothes too! In this way, I can pay you my salary first, and you can also give it to me first." I paid for the medicine—it’s not for you, but I’ll pay it back slowly after working.”

Looking at Gu Sixiao, the old lady couldn't help but sighed in a low voice: "The little lady has already said so much, wouldn't it be unreasonable for me not to agree?"

After agreeing to starch and wash clothes for the Gu family, the old lady said again: "Little lady, our Zhang family will always remember your great kindness today. No matter what, as long as you say a word, we will definitely do it."

"Ma'am, it's serious." Gu Sixiao shook her head with a smile, "I just did my part, I didn't think about anything else..."

She was just repaying her kindness, but she never thought about letting the Zhang family accept her kindness again.

To live a new life, grievances must be avenged, favors must be repaid, and debts must be paid.

After leaving Zhang's house, it was getting late, so Gu Sixiao had to go back to the inn with Su Jingchun and others.

"I don't know if Chu Mengsheng brought me a message. I'm going to ask for the Gu family's old house tomorrow. I can't allow Gu Yong to deny it."

Whispering, Gu Sixiao turned his head to think about it, and suddenly said: "I think Chu Mengsheng probably won't help me with a message, and I'm afraid it will take more talking tomorrow."

"It's better if he doesn't pass on the message," Su Jingchun smiled. "If he does, I'm afraid that Mr. Gu will find someone to arrest you."

Covering her mouth and snickering, Gu Sixiao looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Do you really think Gu Yong has that ability? It would be interesting if he could find a messenger to go to town in his house. I just don't know, those policemen saw You, the county magistrate, what kind of expression will you have? Are you still favoring the local officials, or are you rushing to the ground to please you, Mr. Su!?"

"Well, let me guess—I think it's probably not to please me, but to please you, a sixth-rank security man!" Su Jingchun raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You know, I'm a common man with no rank. You, Mrs. Forgiveness, have come here in style."

"Bah——" couldn't help but spit, Gu Sixiao said uncomfortably: "Don't blame me for not talking about making people uneasy, my daughter's family who didn't leave the court, unexpectedly got a pardon, it's really a surprise Strange thing! Ah, I heard that some of the conferments of these betrothal wives are given by the nobles in the palace, could it be that the concubine—no, probably also called the empress—was ordered by her?"

Su Jingchun smiled, and deliberately raised his eyebrows, "It's true to think so, maybe it was made for me. But the empress is too stingy, if it is made for me, she should give my wife a first-class wife no matter what. Could it be that we can't be?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Gu Sixiao slapped him lightly, and Gu Sixiao wasn't as shy as before, just laughed at him, "The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. If someone else listens, I don't know what trouble will happen .”

"There are a lot of disturbances, what are you afraid of?" Su Jingchun turned his head and said lightly: "Su Mei should leave Beijing now."

After hearing this, Gu Sixiao fell silent.

Before, Su Mei sent a letter by flying pigeons, saying that Prince Rui accepted those corpses, but he didn't say anything, just said "Understood" lightly, and sent Su Mei away.

Su Mei said that she would not leave Beijing for the time being and wanted to find out the news in Beijing.

It's just that in the past few days, Prince Rui's mansion was completely quiet, there was no movement at all, and he didn't know how Prince Rui dealt with those people.

"What if Prince Rui is on Wangfei's side?"

"No," Su Jingchun shook his head, and said lightly, "At this time, he will not be on the side of the princess, but he will never be on the side of my sister and me. At this time, asking for a word of stability, I'm afraid The prince won't do anything to the concubine—but it's only now, sooner or later, he will choose to stand aside. Before that, he can only keep adding weight."

Nodding, Gu Sixiao didn't speak any more, but slowly fell on his shoulder, silently.

Su Jingchun just smiled, gently embraced Gu Sixiao's shoulders, and said warmly: "Have you figured out how to collect the debt tomorrow? I don't think it may be that easy, I'm afraid that Mr. Gu will still play tricks Son."
