Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore
Chapter 196 Going bankrupt
At the Taiwei Mansion, Song Wanyin deliberately closed down several shops under his name in the past few days, asking the owners of those shops to deal with the second and third branches of the Gu family.
In order to avoid any complications, she stayed indoors and refused to see anyone, claiming to be ill, so that the Gu family would relax their vigilance and believe her.
The morning light shone through the carved window lattices onto Song Wanyin's body, casting patches of mottled light and shadows.
The breeze blew gently, bringing coolness and the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Song Wanyin leaned diagonally on the soft pear blossom couch, eating the fragrant and soft cheese, and chatting and laughing with Tiancheng.
"Sweet Orange, what delicious food are you eating? Let me have a taste."
Tiancheng was holding a fruit box, tasting the food happily. He handed it to her generously with a smile on his face.
"Girl, this is Fuling Cake? It's delicious."
Song Wanyin picked up a piece of Fuling Cake, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, nodding and praising:
“Mm, yes, it tastes delicious.
It seems that Jing Mo understands you best."
Upon hearing this, Tian Cheng blushed and muttered shyly:
"He didn't give it to me."
While the master and servant were joking, Madam Wei hurried in and said in a serious tone:
"Miss, Master Biao just sent someone to tell me that Master Gu caught Madam San and Shopkeeper Kong having an affair.
As a result, he was so angry that he killed the adulterous couple with his own hands. Master Gu San couldn't accept the blow and committed suicide with a knife. "
Sweet Orange took a bite of the Poria Cocos Cake? She almost choked, her face turned red, and she raised her hand to smooth her chest.
Oh my God! What kind of shocking news is this?
Song Wanyin's eyes were gloomy, hiding the sharpness in the corners of her eyes. She finally put her mind at ease.
All of this is part of her revenge plan, which is being carried out step by step.
"What's the current situation in the third room?"
Nanny Wei reported everything in detail:
"There are only a few powerless girls left in the third house, and this is the first time they have encountered their father killing their mother.
I panicked for a moment and asked someone from the second house to help me deal with it.
The second wife believed that family disgrace should not be made public, so she buried the body of the deceased hastily.
Master Gu was extremely grief-stricken and I heard he vomited a large mouthful of blood on the spot. He is still lying on his sickbed unconscious.”
Song Wanyin was very satisfied with the result and said:
"Madam Wei, please ask someone to pass a message to the owners so that they can proceed with their next plan."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei immediately agreed respectfully and turned around to handle it.
Tian Cheng drank several cups of tea before he finally swallowed the tuckahoe cake that had choked him. He cleared his throat and asked:
"Miss, this Third Master Gu has brought trouble upon himself. When you were in the Gu family, they often teamed up to embarrass you.
As elders, they don't have the demeanor that elders should have. They always put on airs in front of you, act like the boss, and follow the rules.
The law of nature will never let anyone off the hook. This is really a relief!"
In the old house of the second branch of the Gu family, the old walls reflect the vicissitudes of time.
Gu Zecheng's face was pale, his eyes were dark circles, and his lips were chapped. He had been bedridden for many days and looked lifeless.
He could never have dreamed that his third brother and his wife, who had always been in love with each other, would die together, leaving his three daughters to depend on each other alone.
The Second Lady held the medicine in her hand, and stood by the bedside, crying and persuading him:
"Husband, please drink a little, this is a life-saving medicine!
If you fall, our Second House will be completely destroyed."
Gu Zecheng's face was filled with gloom and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to take medicine. He lay there like a walking corpse.
Once the third brother dies, we will lose a capable general. It seems that we have to overthrow Song Wanyin as soon as possible.
Song Wanyin, if it weren't for you, my third brother and his wife wouldn't have ended up like this.
Sooner or later, I will settle this account with you!
At this time, a servant led a group of shop owners to visit, knowing that they were all business partners of Master Gu.
Everyone walked into the bedroom. The Second Lady stood up, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, nodded slightly at them, and then left, leaving them alone to talk to Gu Zecheng.
The bosses swarmed forward and saw that Gu Zecheng looked haggard and his breath was weak, and they all expressed their concern and condolences.
"Second Master Gu, you have to get better quickly. We are still waiting for you to come back and take charge of the situation."
"We heard about Master Gu San's story. How could a healthy person just disappear like that?"
"Master Gu, don't worry, only our group knows about this matter, and we haven't made it public."
"Since ancient times, the dead cannot be resurrected. I know you are very sad, so you must take good care of yourself."
"If you fall, what will we do? Wouldn't that woman be able to take advantage of you and feel complacent?"
Gu Zecheng heard a buzzing noise in his ears, and reluctantly opened his eyes, looking at these familiar faces, and said weakly:
"Thank you for coming to visit me. I won't be able to recover in a short time."
After hearing this, the bosses were secretly delighted, but on the surface they pretended to be sad and tried to comfort him insincerely.
At this time, Liu Dongjia thought about it and said with a sad face:
"Second Master Gu, we came here today to tell you something important."
Gu Zecheng was slightly startled, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"whats the matter?"
Liu Dongjia hesitated for a moment, and said with difficulty:
"Second Master Gu, all the shops we invested in have suffered losses. We also believed the slander and thought that the shops in that prosperous area would definitely make money.
But who would have thought that after we put all our efforts and energy into it, the result was the opposite of what we expected, and the business was even worse than before.”
Gu Zecheng was shocked when he heard this. He struggled to sit up, but he had no strength. He coughed and said:
"Ahem, how could this happen? Didn't you all brag about it at the beginning, saying that the market there was very good?"
Seeing that he was coughing more and more violently and that he might pass out at any moment, Liu Dongjia advised:
"Second Master Gu, don't get excited.
In fact, there are losses and gains in business. Who would have thought that the current bad market conditions, coupled with our poor management, would lead to such a result.
Not only your money and Mr. Gu Sanye's money, but also our money was lost.
To be honest, we tried our best, but we couldn’t save the situation.”
Gu Zecheng's eyes widened as if he was struck by lightning, and he felt sad.
This loss was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
In order to gamble for the biggest profit, he almost poured in all his property and mortgaged all the shops under his name.
I thought I had a sure win, but I failed at the last moment.
Not only does it mean that his years of hard work will be wasted, it also means that his family will face a huge disaster.
Suddenly, Gu Zecheng was so angry that he felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat, and then he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Like flowers scattered from heaven, they fell on the bedding.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
