Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile
Chapter 459 459 The Insolent Slave
Gu Yeshi, who was waiting outside, coldly watched the lady being helped up by several maids. "You'd better pray that the people inside are alright, or you'll lose your life."
"Sir, these are just some lowly merchant women. Not only did they ruin my banquet, but they also want me to pay for it with my life. Are they even qualified?"
"She's an utterly unreasonable shrew. You weren't like this back in the manor."
Where is your caution and prudence? Where is your dignity and kindness?
Don't forget why your family sent us here.
"We've brought this place here to develop our family business, not for you to show off. If you continue to be so unrepentant, I'll have no choice but to send you back to relearn the rules of this household."
Madam Gu looked at her husband in shock, "We are husband and wife, I am just trying to help you."
Besides, it wasn't all your instruction that I should try to get shops and estates from these ladies.
I followed all the instructions, but who knew this would happen? Do you think I wanted this?
She ruined my first ever reception banquet. Who can I ask for an explanation?
"Just because she fainted? She had a seizure, and I'm supposed to pay for it with my life? That's utterly unreasonable."
"You're quite the smooth talker," Gu Yeshi said, looking at his bedmate with unfamiliar eyes. "Don't forget who we are now?"
"What status do you have? We are the Ninth Master and Ninth Master's wife from the Duke's Mansion. I have condescended to entertain them. They should feel honored."
"Fool," Gu Yeshi didn't want to do anything anymore; this woman had gone down a dead end.
"Send your wife to her room. No one is allowed to leave the room without my permission."
"You're going to lock me up?"
"You can think that way if you want, but until things are resolved, you'd better stay in your room and keep your mouth shut."
You really need to correct all your bad habits, otherwise you shouldn't go out in public anymore.
He said at the time that he would rather marry a woman from a family of scholars and farmers, but his aunt said that a concubine's daughter from a wealthy family was a better match for him, and in the end, she found him this wretched thing.
Before, everything was well-behaved in the manor, so why does he seem like a completely different person now that he's out here?
Could it be because he's been oppressed by the direct descendants of the household for too long? Just as others have said, his virtue doesn't match his position?
What a fool! This was a job he worked so hard to get. Besides wanting to prove his worth, he also wanted to use this opportunity to develop his own business and influence.
The direct descendants definitely can't compete, and with the Empress in charge, they have no chance.
The best solution is to find another way to make a living and develop your own business elsewhere.
He told the woman to negotiate a lower price, since women in the inner quarters are sensitive about their reputation. By giving her a discount, he could accumulate wealth gradually and eventually have his own business.
But in the blink of an eye, everything was messed up, and he offended everyone. Just thinking about such a huge mess gave him a headache.
Even if Madam Gu was unwilling, she was taken away.
After waiting a while longer, there was still no news from Granny Chen. Gu Yeshi became increasingly dissatisfied with these old people in the mansion, who, relying on their powerful backers, did not take them seriously at all.
If they had been able to persuade them, things wouldn't have come to this.
"Send someone to ask what's going on inside." They've been inside for so long, and they haven't even come out to report. The maidservant who was serving nearby was about to go in when she saw Granny Chen come out, followed by the doctor who had gone in earlier, and the lady who had been unconscious.
Upon seeing the two strangers, Gu Yeshi had already guessed their identities. He quickly changed his expression and said humbly, "Is there anything wrong with this lady's health?"
"We apologize for the inadequate hospitality today, and hope for your forgiveness, Madam."
Madam Lin was already struggling to stay healthy, but she didn't want to stay there any longer and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
As soon as she came out, she saw a strange man, and her current disheveled appearance made her even more uncomfortable.
Hearing these words now, I don't know how to respond. I can only ask Dr. Lan for help.
"She's not seriously injured right now," Doctor Lan quietly stepped forward, blocking Madam Lin behind him. "She's just been too frightened and will need to take some medicine to calm down when she gets back."
"It's our fault for frightening Madam," Gu Yeshi knew that the best thing to do now was to calm her down first, otherwise the situation would only get worse.
Little did they know that their incompetent teammates had already demonstrated their bullying and tyranny to the fullest extent.
Doctor Lan's attitude towards him was relatively accommodating, unlike that old scoundrel who raised his voice even higher than his master.
Madam Lin hid behind Doctor Lan, pleading weakly, "Doctor Lan..."
“Sir, Madam Lin is still shaken and unsettled. It’s not appropriate to talk to her. Luckily, I know her family, so I’ll take her home first. You can go to the Lin residence and discuss the details with the head of the household.”
Gu Yeshi, "Who are you?"
He had already recognized him as a doctor, after all, the young apprentice behind him was carrying such a large medicine box.
He's just a lowly doctor; if he were in the capital, he wouldn't even be allowed into their Duke's mansion.
"I am the doctor invited by your esteemed household," Doctor Lan said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "I originally did not want to get involved in your private affairs, but I do have some connections with Master Lin, and we just happened to run into each other today. If I were to really ignore this, it would be a matter of my character."
"Sir, I suppose you can understand."
"Of course," they said, having already said all that, and being newcomers who didn't know what kind of complicated relationships these people had behind the scenes, they could only lower their attitude even further.
"I'll have someone prepare a car right away. I'll trouble the doctor to come along."
As he spoke, he gave a wink to the servant behind him, who immediately took out a purse from his pocket and stuffed it into Doctor Lan's hand. "Thank you for your hard work today. We appreciate it if you could make this trip for us."
Once I've settled into my residence, I'll certainly host a grand banquet to entertain everyone.
Upon hearing about the banquet, Madam Lin behind her felt her body go weak again, and her hands trembled slightly. The young apprentice standing beside her disregarded all taboos and hurriedly reached out to support her, asking, "Madam Lin, are you alright?"
Only then did everyone notice that her expression was off, as if she was about to have another outburst.
Doctor Lan sighed, "We should hurry up and send her back to her residence. Being in a familiar environment might be better for her."
Gu Yeshi didn't dare say anything more. He didn't want her to get into any more trouble here, so he quickly sent the person away and dealt with it later. He immediately instructed, "You old women, hurry up and help. Don't tire Madam Lin out any further." (End of Chapter)
