The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children
Chapter 789 Escape from Marriage
Tong Huaqiong thought that Miss Lin, who was about to get married, and Gu Dashu would never have any contact in their lives.
He was quickly slapped in the face.
Two days before Miss Lin's wedding, it snowed again in Shengjing.
The snow was so heavy that even the prefect organized all the merchants to clear the snow.
Gu Dashu opened a fur shop in Shengjing, specializing in selling the best carpets, wool, and felt in Mobei...
A few days ago, a nearby silk shop caught fire and burned down half of the shop. If it hadn't been for the snow, it would have burned down half of the street.
Gu Dashu did not dare to be careless, fearing that the same situation would occur in his own shop.
After all, his shop was full of flammable items. If it caught fire, no one could come to put out the fire in the middle of winter. Even if someone came, where would they get water in the freezing cold?
The guys took turns checking day and night, but Gu Dashu himself was still worried.
He simply lived in the shop and looked after it himself.
It was snowing heavily, the roads were slippery and the weather was cold, so there were few customers all day. As soon as it got dark, Gu Dashu ordered his waiters to close the shop.
Because of the fire in the shop next door, Gu Dashu didn't dare to sleep too deeply even if he slept in the shop.
At night, Gu Dashu was awakened by a slight noise.
He sat up straight in an instant.
Although the sound was small and disappeared quickly, Gu Dashu still heard it.
This was all thanks to the two years that Gu Dashu spent as a spy in Mobei, during which he developed a keen sense of hearing.
Gu Dashu got out of bed, put on his clothes, picked up an iron rod, and walked quietly in the direction where the sound came from.
There were no lights on either.
If it was a thief, he would capture him alive.
If it is a mouse, kill it.
Gu Dashu came to the warehouse where the blankets were stored, and the blankets in the corner made rustling sounds again.
"Who is it?" Gu Dashu held the iron rod in one hand and lifted the blanket with the other.
As there was no lamp, it was impossible to see what was inside in the darkness.
"Manager Gu, please spare my life."
It was a strange female voice.
Gu Dashu lit the lamp, and a beautiful girl curled up in the blanket.
The girl was wearing thin clothes and was still shivering even though she was wrapped in a blanket. It was unclear whether she was cold or scared.
There were still tears on the pale little face.
Since Gu Dashu had been a spy in Mobei, the girl's frail appearance did not arouse any sympathy from him at all. Instead, it made him very alert.
He was really worried that it was the Fourth Prince of Mobei, oh no, it was the current King of Mobei, who sent the beautiful assassin to kill him.
After all, he, who was regarded as a lowly ant of the Dasheng merchants by the Prince of Mobei, actually played the prince around, and the information he conveyed almost led to the destruction of Mobei.
Prince Mobei hated him to death.
Even though he still called him brother when he came to Shengjing to beg for surrender, Gu Dashu knew that the Prince of Mobei wished him dead.
Gu Dashu asked with a cold look in his eyes: "Who are you?"
The girl obviously knew him.
If she was really sent by the King of Mobei, don't blame him for his ruthless methods.
Gu Dashu was determined to kill.
Miss Lin has been able to read people's expressions and act accordingly since she was young, and the murderous intent in Gu Dashu's eyes did not escape her notice.
Miss Lin had no intention of hiding her identity. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up as she said, "Manager Gu, I am from the Lin family. I saw you at the banquet at the Mobei Palace, so I recognize you."
The members of the Lin family who could attend the palace banquet were either young ladies of the Lin family or maids of the Lin family.
Gu Dashu asked, "Are you a young lady or a maid of the Lin family? What's your purpose in coming to my shop?"
Lin Daxiao's eyes were about to burst into tears, and she said with a feeling of grievance: "I am the concubine of the Lin family. I had an argument with my legitimate sister a few days ago, and my cruel legitimate mother wanted to marry me to an old man as a second wife. This old man is a minor official in the court. The wedding date is set for the day after tomorrow. After the wedding, I will be exiled to the border with the old man. I didn't want to marry an old man, so I ran away."
"I have been living under the care of my stepmother since I was a child. I obey her in everything and never fight back when she hits me or scolds me. I am prettier than my stepmother, so she always suspects that I will hinder her sister's good marriage. No matter how humble I am, she never lets me go."
"Woooooooo..."
Miss Lin was already very pitiful in appearance, and she looked even more pitiful after escaping from the Lin residence in a hurry and wearing thin clothes.
Gu Dashu is not very familiar with the Lin family.
Mrs. Lin has come to the mansion these days and seems to be a very kind person.
Since the matter of Miss Lin's conspiracy against Miss Lin was a scandal of the Lin family, except for a very few people who knew about it, the Lin family kept the news secret.
Tong Huaqiong would not gossip enough to tell her son about this, so Gu Dashu was not aware of the twists and turns between Miss Lin and Miss Lin II.
Seeing how pitiful Miss Lin looked, he didn't believe it at first because he was not sure that the person in front of him was Miss Lin.
At this time, the guy who stayed behind heard the noise and came to the warehouse. He was holding a lamp in his hand, and together with the lamp that Gu Dashu lit on the table, the two lamps instantly illuminated the room.
The waiter saw the girl sitting in the blanket and exclaimed, "Isn't this Miss Lin?"
This waiter was transferred from Jufulai. Miss Lin was a distinguished guest of Jufulai, so he naturally recognized her.
Miss Lin raised her head and looked at the waiter timidly, tears instantly rolling down her cheeks.
She knew that Gu Dashu had suspected her identity, but now her identity had been lifted.
Given Gu Dashu's righteousness, he will definitely rescue her.
"How did you get to my shop?" Gu Dashu asked.
Miss Lin said with tears in her eyes, "The Ning Wangfei is my cousin. I wanted to go to the Ning Wang Mansion to ask my cousin for help. My stepmother watched me very closely, and I finally managed to escape. I was afraid that my stepmother's people would catch me, so I hid all the way. When I arrived at your shop, it was snowing heavily. I couldn't stand the cold, so I mixed in with the customers and sneaked in."
There is some truth to what Miss Lin said.
She did plan to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to look for her cousin.
However, she was afraid of being discovered halfway, so she deliberately took a detour and hid in Gu Dashu's shop.
Gu Dashu had a good reputation in Shengjing. People said he was righteous and that when he was a spy in Mobei, he saved many women and children from the border who were captured by the Mobei people.
Miss Lin plans to arouse Gu Dashu's sympathy by playing the victim, so that Gu Dashu will escort her to Prince Ning's Mansion.
The princess cousin is having a hard time in the palace now. She is fighting with the concubines to a death. She has been married for two years but there has been no movement in her pregnancy. Last month, Prince Ning's favorite concubine gave birth to a son.
My cousin needs help now.
She was confident that she could persuade her cousin to let Prince Ning marry her.
She is prettier and smarter than her cousin, and her father is a marquis. She is confident that she can tie Prince Ning to herself.
Prince Ning's favor will help her break out of the predicament. Then the entire Lin family will support her to replace her cousin as the principal wife. When Prince Ning inherits the throne, even if she hates her stepmother, she will drag her natal family, the Dingxin Marquis Mansion, to support her as the queen.
By then, who would remember the ugly things she did in the Lin family?
"Brother Gu, please help me."
Miss Lin raised her pretty face, her eyes red from crying.
The name also changed accordingly.
She is already in such a miserable state, Gu Dashu will definitely help her.
