Chapter 194 Begging for a dowry
Gu Zhicheng's expression froze.
In order to save the Wang family, the family's silver taels were not enough to make up for it. The second child asked the Yue family to borrow the silver taels.
How can he have the money to hire Mr. Liu?
After living most of his life, it was the first time that Gu Zhicheng was short on money.
He smiled shyly: "Luan'er, we are all one family, you..."
"Patriarch Gu, has he forgotten what I said in the arena just now?"
Gu Zhicheng was once again blocked by her speechless.
Before, Gu Zhi blamed his elder brother for favoring Gu Qingluan in his confidence, but under Gu Jinrong's explanation, he knew Gu Zhicheng's good intentions.
He didn't want to see the other party begging Gu Qingluan in such a low voice, he said firmly: "Brother, let's go! There is not only Liu Meng who is capable, I don't believe there is no famous doctor who can cure Rong'er and Jinyue! "
Gu Zhicheng sighed and bid farewell to Gu Qingluan.
Gu Zhixin and others got into the carriage first.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was leaving too, Gu Qingluan showed a playful smile: "Don't rush to leave, madam, we have to settle some accounts carefully."
Wang's back was stiff, and he turned to look at her with vigilance in his eyes.
Gu Qingluan's cruel methods today really frightened her, and now she just wants to stay away from this crazy girl.
"My mother's dowry, you have kept it for more than 20 years, should you return it to me?"
Wang's eyes flashed fleetingly, she pretended to be dazed and asked: "Your mother didn't leave any dowry!"
Gu Qingluan lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, and asked casually: "Is there no dowry left or is the dowry gone?"
Mrs. Wang glanced at Gu Zhicheng quickly, and suddenly sighed: "Oh, Qingluan, I won't hide it from you anymore, back then your mother's dowry was used to cover the family's expenses, and something happened to you some time ago I also know that the money has been emptied, and the dowry is naturally gone. Master, don’t you think so?”
"Heh!" Gu Qingluan laughed out loud.
Thin and cool as water, bitingly cold.
Gu Zhicheng's throat choked, and he suddenly couldn't continue speaking.
"Have you ever raised me?" Gu Qingluan suddenly raised his head, a pair of watery peach eyes fell like cold stars, covered with frost, hitting people's hearts directly, freezing them.
"Being in the Gu family for more than ten years, how much food and clothing have you given me? Do you dare to pat your chest to assure that you have a clear conscience? Do you dare to tell my mother who is underground that you have never treated me badly?" ?”
In Gu Qingluan's memory, since childhood, the original owner was short of food and clothing.
Live in the servant's room, eating leftovers, even things that the servants don't eat.
She was secretly helped by a loyal servant of the Jun family when she was a child, otherwise she would have starved to death.
Later she remembered, the old woman who took care of her died, and she worked hard to support herself.
Being beaten and scolded for one bite of food is common.
When she is older, she will go outside to pick up some odd jobs, or go to the mountains to collect some herbs that can be sold.
Grow up slowly like this.
For more than ten years, Gu Zhicheng hadn't really cared about her.
When she was being bullied, he didn't even ask a question.
This will make those people more presumptuous.
Not to mention the masters such as Gu Jinyue, even an old lady in charge of the yard in the mansion can beat and scold her at will.
In order not to be scolded and to have something to eat, she did the most tiring work in the mansion, even worse than a servant.
Gu Qingluan didn't bring up the past before, but these people really acted as if nothing had happened.
Gu Zhicheng now has the nerve to say that she has used all of her mother's dowry?
