Chapter 472 - 472 Making A Move
“No, but Yang Wanning asked me to help keep her 50,000 silver.” Zhou Ying replied after confirming that there was no one else around.
“It seems that my aunt is not that stupid. At least she saw the problem at the last minute and left something for her daughter.”
“It’s a pity that she’s too soft-hearted. If she had divorced when she was alive or if she had split her assets and lived elsewhere, Yang Wanning and her brother wouldn’t have ended up this way.”
“Even if she has that intention, Yang Shicheng won’t agree.
“Moreover, with her old-fashioned thinking, she won’t necessarily have the courage to leave.” When Gu Chengrui said this, he thought of Gu Ziyi. Wasn’t she also forced into a divorce as a last resort?
“That’s true.”
“Oh right, keep an eye on the Yang residence tomorrow afternoon. Maybe there will be a good show.”
“You didn’t do anything, did you?”
“I just made another bet with Yang Chenglin.”
Zhou Ying looked at him suspiciously and asked, “What did you bet on?”
“I just teach him how to discover Mrs. Cui’s true colors.” Gu Chengrui told her his plan after he finished speaking.
“I’m not going to lie; that’s pretty despicable of you. Not only can you let him see the true colors of Mrs. Cu, but you can also sow discord between them, mother and son.”
“It’s impolite not to take the offer when given.”
On the other end, after Zhou Jiaqing found out that Qiu Niang’s family had been redeemed, she was so angry that she slapped Zisu a dozen times. “You idiot! Can’t you even do something this simple? Go straight to the laundry room tomorrow!”
Zisu nodded and left without saying anything.
Not only did she not feel dejected, she also heaved a sigh of relief.
A second-class maid, Lian Qiao, saw this and went forward to comfort her, saying, “Sister Zisu, don’t be too sad. The missus just got into a fit of anger. When her anger subsides, she will definitely call you back.”
Zisu looked at her gloating expression and sneered inwardly. “Thank you for the kind words.” She replied calmly.
After saying that, she covered her face and left.
She clearly understood Zhou Jiaqing’s character over the past few years.
If she really did as she said that day, not only would Zhou Jiaqing not reward her, but she would still blame her for abandoning her mistress.
Regardless of what she chooses, she will be unable to satisfy Zhou Jiaqing and will get punished.
Therefore, it was better to leave her side as soon as possible.
Lian Qiao looked at Zisu’s back as she left and sneered. She turned around and walked in with a broom and dustpan. She quickly swept away the things that Zhou Jiaqing had broken and said, “Young miss, I have something I don’t know if I should say.”
“Just say if there’s something you want to say. I’m not in the mood to be polite with you now.” Zhou Jiaqing leaned on the bed and replied impatiently.
“Actually, there’s no need to mess with Haitang or the others if you want to ruin Zhou Ying. Don’t you think Zhou Ying has problems when she’s been married for so many years and has no children?
“Also, they have just established their residence. I’m sure they will be buying servants, so if you arrange for one or two people to go in and win her husband’s favor, then she…”
Zhou Jiaqing paused after hearing that. She thought of her mother, who cried daily to gain her father’s favor, and how she became numbed by everything. Zhou Jiaqing was instantly exhilarated by the idea.
That’s right, what women cared about the most was their husband’s love. How miserable would Zhou Ying’s fate be if she lost her love and had no child to rely on?
She quickly replied, “1’11 leave arranging this to you. Find me two girls.”
“Yes, I will do my best.” Lian Qiao turned around and walked out. When she was outside, she quickly threw down the things in her hands and ran out happily.
She firmly believed that as long as this task was carried out smoothly, she would definitely become her missus’ best confidant. At that time, she would ride the tide and might one day be a concubine..
