After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

Jin Ruoyun held onto the table, covering her chest in pain, and looked at Gu Boqing as if he were a heartless man.

"Is this what the master thinks of me? Haven't I treated Xing Ruo well enough?"

"I took her to the banquet. Was it wrong? Everything she wore was bought with my money!"

"I didn't ask her to go to the flower viewing banquet. Xiaowan asked me to let her go. I took Xingruo with me! As soon as she arrived at the banquet, she started to cause trouble for the young lady from the official family."

"The person hosting this banquet is Jiang's elder sister. Her father is a high-ranking official in the imperial court. The ladies and girls who came here are not simple people."

"As soon as she got there, she got into a conflict with someone and was kidnapped. Is that my fault?"

Over the years, Gu Boqing has been asking her for money.

He asked for dozens of taels of silver every few days, saying that he was trying to get a promotion or to treat his colleagues to a meal.

She felt that Uncle Gu came from a poor family and it was not easy for him to work in officialdom. He had no money and she was afraid that he would be looked down upon, so she indulged him again and again and gave him as much as he asked.

Everything Sang Xiaowan and her two sons wore and wore was obviously bought with her money.

They actually have the nerve to blame her here!

She had never seen such a shameless and despicable person in her life!

Gu Boqing felt a little guilty about what he said, but when he thought about how his daughter was suffering at the moment, he couldn't hold back his anger.

"Don't talk nonsense! Xingruo is young and doesn't understand things. You should teach her more. You are the elder, and she will definitely listen to you."

"You were the one who took her out. If not you, who else should be held responsible?!"

A woman should obey her husband. Since she has married Gu Boqing, Jin Ruoyun's things are his.

Even if she died, she would be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Gu family.

What's wrong with him spending some of her money!

She is so petty and doesn't behave like a legitimate daughter of a noble family at all.

Even Xiaowan can't compare to her!

"Since you both think it's my problem, I'll just stop caring about it, so that if anything goes wrong again, you won't blame me!" After saying this, Jin Ruoyun turned around and left.

There was no chance for Gu Boqing to continue to pua her.

Not long after, Old Mrs. Gu heard that Gu Xingruo had been kidnapped, and she rushed to Gu Boqing in a hurry.

"Xing Ruo...Xing Ruo was really kidnapped?! How could this happen? She didn't offend anyone, and our family is not a well-known family. Why did the kidnappers target our family?"

"My poor granddaughter Xing Ruoyo! Why is your life so miserable?"

She sat down on the ground and cried loudly.

Gu Xingruo grew up under her care, and she and Gu Xingruo and Gu Xingcheng have two grandchildren, and they have a very close relationship.

"That's enough, mom! Stop crying. Crying is useless! We should find a way to raise the ransom and redeem Xing Ruo!"

Gu Boqing, who was already annoyed, became even more angry after hearing her crying.

Old Madam Gu cried so hard that her drawer was pulled out. "Then go ask Jin Ruoyun for it. She has money."

The old lady thought of something and suddenly regretted it.

"Oh no, no! We can't pay the ransom. How about we report it to the police?"

Jin Ruoyun's money is her money, why should she give it all to the kidnappers?

If she reports the case to the police and catches the kidnappers, not only will she not have to pay a ransom, but her Xing Ruo will also come back.

Gu Boqing rejected it outright, "No! Once we report it to the authorities, everyone will know about it. If Xingruo is kidnapped by bandits, how will she get married in the future?"

His daughter will marry the prince in the future.

If rumors spread and ruin my reputation, I won't even be able to make it to the preliminary round as a candidate for concubine. I must not report this to the authorities!

Sitting aside, holding her hair and pearl earrings, Sang Xiaowan looked sad and her eyes were rolling around.

She was thinking about the series of events that happened today.

Is there really such a coincidence?

She hired someone to kidnap Gu An, but her daughter was taken away by the kidnappers!

This is too much of a coincidence, it's definitely not as simple as it seems.

"Husband, could it be... could it be that Jin Ruoyun kidnapped Xing Ruo? She might have discovered what happened between us, and kidnapped Xing Ruo in revenge, that must be it!"

She wondered why Jin Ruoyun agreed so readily to let her daughter go to the flower-viewing banquet. It turned out that she had already made preparations!

Jin Ruoyun, this bitch.

She must have discovered that someone was going to kidnap her son, so she went along with it, it must have happened!

She couldn't tell Gu Boqing about her plan to kidnap Gu An. No matter what, Gu An was Gu Boqing's son.

If he knew she did this behind his back, there would definitely be a rift in their relationship.

"She wouldn't do such a thing. We kept it a secret so well. I sent more than ten people to watch every secret meeting. She wouldn't find out."

Given Jin Ruoyun's stubborn character, she would definitely abandon him once she found out that he had betrayed and deceived her.

I wouldn't go to so much trouble to do this.

If Jin Ruoyun knew everything about him and Sang Xiaowan and still acted as if nothing had happened, then she was too scheming.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Sang Xiaowan got anxious, "You believe her but not me, right? You didn't even check and just believed what she said!"

"I don't believe her, it's... Oh, okay! I'll check it out. I'll send someone to check it out right now!"

He didn't believe Jin Ruoyun, but he wouldn't just listen to one side of the story and believe Sang Xiaowan's conjecture.

Jin Ruoyun returned to the main courtyard and had someone secretly keep an eye on the study.

Over the years, many of the people that Jin Ruoyun brought as dowry were replaced by Gu Boqing. Although there are only a few left, each of them is a top-notch product.

Many of the Jin family's servants know some martial arts and military tactics.

As long as they are determined, they can find out Gu Boqing's movements.

At this time, Gu An was holding a rattle and waving it in front of Jin Yuanyuan.

"Yes~Yuanyuan, yes~yes~"

[Damn it, my body has become like a child's, and even my behavior has become like a child's. This rattle looks like fun.]

She snatched it away, swung it around in her hand, and had a lot of fun playing with it.

Ding Xiang came in and reported, "Madam, the master has taken action. Just as you expected, he really sent people to the Jiang family to inquire. You can even guess this. You are amazing."

If her young lady were a man, she would surely be able to fight on the battlefield, but she is trapped in this small world in the backyard and has nowhere to show her skills.

Jin Ruoyun, who was sewing a tiger-head hat for Jin Yuanyuan, was not very surprised.

"After all, we've been together for so many years, I still know a little bit about his character."

In Gu Boqing's eyes, there is no absolute trust and no eternal enemies.

In order to climb up the ladder, he would even bend down to polish the shoes of the person who had stabbed him.

He would definitely not believe her one-sided story and would definitely inquire secretly. Fortunately, she had made preparations early.

The servant who went out to inquire about the situation came back to report.

"Master, I went to inquire about what happened at the flower viewing banquet today."

"After Miss Xingruo went in, she had a conflict with several other ladies, and then the lady fainted. The doctor diagnosed that someone had drugged her."

"The ladies were frightened and were planning to return home. Madam found the letter when she was getting on the carriage. She almost fainted again."
