Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Gu Qingyuan stepped into General Gu's yard.

General Gu only had her as his daughter, so he doted on her very much. However, she never made any progress and instead flirted with men or went out drinking with her friends, and then beat her husband when she came back.

Even Wen Shubai was beaten for resisting.

Gu Qingyuan forced out a smile that he thought looked very nice and walked towards General Gu.

"mother!"

General Gu was already in his forties and was practicing swordplay in the yard. Upon hearing Gu Qingyuan's voice, he wiped the sweat from his head with a towel, then turned to look at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Qingyuan very attentively helped General Gu to sit aside to rest, and then picked up the fan beside her to fan her. Seeing her like this, General Gu knew that something bad was going to happen.

But there was no way. Qingyuan's father passed away early because he had a difficult birth. This was why she doted on Gu Qingyuan unconditionally, but it also cultivated her personality.

"My mother is truly heroic and has extraordinary skills..."

Gu Qingyuan used all her vocabulary to praise General Gu. General Gu slapped her hand off his shoulder and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't try to be so rude."

Gu Qingyuan sat down next to General Gu and chuckled, "Mother, you should know that I sent all the servants in Mingzhao Courtyard out of the mansion, right?"

General Gu nodded and said, "I have heard that. Since he is your husband, you still have the right to decide whether the servants in his courtyard stay or go."

She didn't ask too much about it.

Gu Qingyuan continued, "I want to pick a few more servants for him, preferably those who are honest and efficient at work."

Although she could control the stay or departure of those people, if she wanted to add more people to the mansion, she had to get General Gu's consent.

General Gu asked her, "So what are you planning?"

Gu Qingyuan thought for a moment and said, "I remember there's a place on the street where slaves are bought and sold. I can buy a few of them and they'll be easier to control."

General Gu nodded and said, "It's all up to you, but we need to examine these people after they return, and investigate their identities to prevent them from causing any trouble for our family in the future."

Gu Qingyuan didn't expect it to be so easy. She secretly drove the servants out of the Gu family and thought her mother would scold her.

"My mother is the best mother in the world!"

Gu Qingyuan stood up very happily, and then said to General Gu: "Mother, you are busy, you continue to be busy."

Watching Gu Qingyuan rush out again, General Gu shook his head, as if he was talking to himself, or to Gu Qingyuan's father in heaven.

"Tell me, when will Qingyuan grow up?"

No one answered.

After Gu Qingyuan went out, she planned to go shopping at the market. She called her maid Chunfen and asked her to go out with her with some silver.

After walking for a while, Gu Qingyuan was shocked by the bustling scene on the street.

Most of the people were women setting up stalls to sell things, while the men were wearing veils and walking with small steps.

Gu Qingyuan didn't feel tired after walking such a long way, and even bought some snacks to eat while walking.

But when those people saw her, they retreated away as if they had seen some monster.

Even the man, who was walking well, quickened his pace when he saw her, as if he was afraid that he would be entangled by her.

Gu Qingyuan asked Chunfen gloomily: "Chunfen, do you think I'm that scary?"

Chunfen nodded very honestly. Whenever their master went out on the street, he would always go up to any good-looking man he saw and ask him if he wanted to sleep with him.

The man was so frightened that he lost his temper and ran away without even taking his handkerchief.

"Oh, I will definitely not be like this again..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingyuan saw a man carrying a basket. He was not wearing a veil, because married men here do not need to cover their faces.

Moreover, the bun he wore showed that he was already married. The man was wearing a green brocade robe, with a thin figure and a picturesque face. His eyes were gentle, as if he had seen through everything, and he was graceful.

Gu Qingyuan always felt that he looked familiar. Coincidentally, the man looked up after buying things and saw Gu Qingyuan.

He nodded at Gu Qingyuan and shouted.

"Little Lord."

Gu Qingyuan asked Chunfen with some confusion: "Do you know him? Why did he greet me?"

Chunfen replied, "This is Master Luo Jin, whom General Gu brought into the mansion. Now he is in charge of all matters in the mansion."

So that’s how it is. Gu Qingyuan nodded at him.

Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan came to the slave market.

Gu Qingyuan saw two rows of people locked in cages. All of them were pale and thin, with lifeless looks on their faces and an unpleasant odor on their bodies.

The trafficker, whip in hand, scolded, "Behave yourself! If you interfere with my business, I'll whip you to death!"

But how can a slave who often goes hungry and has to follow human traffickers around have the same energy as a normal person? He curls up in a small cage with a collar around his neck, as without dignity as a dog.

When the human trafficker saw Gu Qingyuan, who was dressed elegantly, he came over to her in a flattering manner.

"Sir, please tell me what kind of slave you want. Do you want someone to do rough labor or..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Qingyuan pushed her away and said, "I want to see it myself."

"Okay, okay." The human trafficker stepped aside and looked at Gu Qingyuan as if he had seen the God of Wealth.

Gu Qingyuan walked around and found that these slaves looked lifeless, as if they had already accepted their fate.

Most of them were sold by poor families who could not afford to support extra people, or they were sold by their owners because they were old or unable to work.

Gu Qingyuan saw a man covering his face with his hands, his hair was dirty and tangled. Unlike the people around him, he looked stronger than them.

Out of curiosity, Gu Qingyuan walked up to the man.
