I just want to live a happy life

After the flower-viewing banquet at the Changhong Marquis's mansion was over, some gossipers spread the news about what the two people from the Gu family had said so that everyone knew about it.

Soon, the reputations of Gu Silang and Gu Wulang's wives became disgraced. On the contrary, Bai, also known as Qingyue, gained the sympathy of many people and her reputation improved.

When one thinks of her, the first thing that comes to mind is not that she comes from a business family and is not presentable, but rather that she is someone who was bullied by her two younger siblings for many years and finally got her reward.

At the same time, he also felt that Madam Bai was a capable person, who was able to carve out a niche for herself in a place like Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion where people were eaten without leaving any bones, and completely control the mansion. Didn't he see that the current Marquis Gu also obeyed Madam Bai's orders?

There are also many ladies who envy Lady Bai. They are oppressed by their mothers-in-law, their husbands prefer concubines, they do not have the power to manage the household, and they don't know when they will have a chance to come to the fore. It would be great if they could be as decisive as Lady Bai.

Unintentionally, Qingyue gained the most because of the vicious words of these two people.

Qingyue, who was staying in the Marquis' Mansion, quickly learned the reactions of the many people outside and smiled. This was exactly what Qingyue wanted. Those two people wanted to tarnish her reputation, but it would probably never be possible.

At the beginning, when she bought the Puppet Pill, she let Gu Yankai take one, and she placed the remaining one in the medicine cabinet in the space. After research, she successfully deciphered the ingredients of the medicine used in the Puppet Pill. Fortunately, she had experienced two worlds and collected a variety of medicinal materials. It happened that her medicine cabinet had all the medicinal materials for making Puppet Pills.

So Qingyue used the medicine to make almost a whole wooden box of puppet pills, and took out four of them, putting them in the meals of Gu Silang and his wife, and Gu Wulang and his wife respectively.

Today's drama was caused by the puppet pill. Qingyue would not control them normally, but if they did anything to tarnish her reputation, I'm sorry, but in the end it would not be her, Qingyue, who would suffer, but themselves.

This time it was just the wives of Gu Silang and Gu Wulang. As for Gu Silang and Gu Wulang, she had never thought of letting them go, but the time to deal with them had not yet come.

When the vicious reputation of the two of them spread throughout the upper circle, Gu Silang and Gu Wulang had no idea. They were still drinking in the restaurant. When they came out of the room drunk and were about to go downstairs, they heard something loudly talked in the next room.

They didn't care at first, but when they heard that they were discussing their wives, they stopped and wanted to know what they were talking about.

"You don't know what happened today at the Changhong Marquis's mansion. I heard from my wife that those two vicious women said their purpose loudly in public. Are they stupid?"

The other people laughed loudly. One of them touched his chin and guessed, "I remember that Ningyuan Marquis was inherited by Gu Yankai, and his two younger brothers only got some of the things in the Marquisate. Hey, what do you think? His two younger brothers were dissatisfied with their eldest brother inheriting the Marquisate, so they asked their eldest lady to do this. Once the two families took control of the Marquisate, they were afraid that the position of Ningyuan Marquis would not be in their hands."

After hearing this, several people nodded and agreed that this was the truth.

"But they didn't expect that Madam Bai would be able to turn the tables and catch their people. I heard that they embezzled more than 30,000 taels of silver from the Marquis' Mansion."

At this time, a man who was drinking raised his head and said, "That's not right. I heard it was more than 50,000 taels of silver."

"I heard there were sixty thousand taels of silver."

They looked at each other and didn't speak for a while, but there seemed to be a spark in everyone's eyes. No one gave in, and everyone insisted that what they heard was correct.

The person who took the lead in inviting them to drink realized that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange, and quickly spoke to ease the situation: "No matter what, in short, these two families took a huge amount of money from the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."

"Look, Gu Silang and Gu Wulang haven't said a word to explain. The news must be true. They are hiding because they feel guilty. This matter has made such a big fuss. Maybe their two families will be kicked out soon. I will let my servants guard the door of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion so that I can be the first to see their jokes when they are kicked out."

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

"That makes sense, I do the same."

The atmosphere improved and returned to being lively again, with a few playboys talking without restraint.

But none of them expected that Gu Silang and Gu Wulang were listening outside. At this time, the drunkenness of the two of them had already subsided a lot because of what they heard, and their minds were much clearer.

Listening to their increasingly outrageous words, the two men became so angry that their faces trembled and they kicked the door open with a bang.

Hearing such a loud commotion, the voices of the several playboys stopped abruptly. Seeing Gu Silang and Gu Wulang, the two people they were talking about, they did not feel any embarrassment.

They even feel justified.

"What are you doing? Eavesdropping on our conversation. Get out."

Gu Silang and Gu Wulang did not listen. Gu Silang even took a few steps forward and grabbed a man by the collar, gnashing his teeth and asking, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

The man who was grabbed was not afraid, and he even smiled provocatively at Gu Silang: "What do you mean? I say, Gu Silang, you are still pretending to be with us. What you two families did is known to the whole of Bianjing. Don't say that you, the official, don't know what your wife did."

To be honest, the two of them really didn't know that whenever they needed something or did something bad, Gu Yankai would clean up for them. Everything their two wives did was done behind their backs. They just thought that the more than 20,000 taels of silver found in the Marquis' Mansion that day were made by the servants, and they didn't expect it was related to their wives.

Of course, if this matter had not been discovered by other people, they would naturally be happy to see it happen. After all, it’s good to have the money.

But now that the truth has been revealed, the two people's moods are naturally different. They want to scold the stupid woman, but now it is more important to restore their reputation first.

Gu Silang let go of the man's collar and looked at Gu Wulang. The two brothers had been together for a long time and had some tacit understanding between them.

"You are slandering our two families. It was the servants who took the money from the Marquis' Mansion. As for completely controlling the Marquis' Mansion and snatching our eldest brother's title of Marquis, it is nonsense."

"Yes, and our ladies are gentle and virtuous people. It is impossible for them to say such things in public."

After hearing this, the playboys were silent for a moment, and then they laughed even louder.

"Did you hear what they said? Gentle and virtuous. They actually said gentle and virtuous. Haha!"

"It seems that these two people are quite good at confusing right and wrong."

"I admire you."

One of them laughed enough, stood up and said, "I say, Gu Silang, Gu Wulang, you don't know yet, your eldest lady's family has lost face because of what they said. Others think that their two families can raise such a daughter, and the remaining unmarried girls are also such vicious people, so in order not to affect other girls, their two families have severed their relationship with your eldest lady."

"What did you say?"
