The vicious stepmother doesn't clean up her innocence, she slaps her face professionally and ra

Gu Yiyi was not afraid either. She probably guessed that the person who ordered the maid had something to do with Bai Churan.

Mrs. Bai has no reason or need to do this to herself, and others don't even need to bother.

Only Bai Churan had suffered from it, not to mention that the innermost part of the North Courtyard was the lady's boudoir.

She was the only one who came up with such a stupid and insidious trick.

She was too lazy to argue with Bai Churan now. After all, there were more important things waiting for her.

So she walked in the direction she guessed and asked the servants along the way. After walking for a while, she faintly heard the sound of silk and bamboo coming.

After walking out of an arched door, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

A large green lake comes into view, with blue waves rippling in the breeze.

The willow trees planted on both sides waved lightly, and more and more voices reached Gu Yiyi's ears from a certain direction.

At the same time, Bai Churan, who was in the North Courtyard, was still waiting for Gu Yiyi to come over, but after a long time, his patience was exhausted and he still hadn't seen her figure.

Bai Churan looked unhappy, and when he was about to get up and look for her, the maid Xiao He came over in a panic and knelt down in front of Bai Churan.

"Miss, miss!! This slave deserves to die for not being able to bring Mrs. Gu."

"Didn't you bring her here?!"

Bai Churan frowned suddenly, with anger on his face: "Can't you even take someone with you? Trash! Did you reveal the secret?"

Xiao He quickly shook his head and denied it with all his strength: "No, Miss, Mrs. Gu is very cunning and has many eyes. I don't know how she could tell that this was not the way to the lake. Before the slave could react, she slapped her I slapped my slave several times.”

Xiaohe turned her face sideways, revealing her slightly red and swollen cheeks, with five finger prints clearly visible on it.

It's really a heavy hand.

Xiaohe went on to tell how she restrained him and how she threatened him with a dagger.

This made Bai Churan feel wary: "She actually carries a murder weapon with her at all times? What kind of woman would be like her!!"

As her eyebrows furrowed, Xiao He felt that Gu Yiyi was not an easy person to deal with.

So I also made a mental note.

"She came to the mansion today to be so close to my mother. Even if I was disrespectful to her, she was still pretending there. She must have something secret in her heart. Maybe she wanted to trick my father and mother!

I won't let her succeed easily. Don't think that you can be arrogant in the imperial city just because you have a few bad money. After all, my father is also the richest. "

There was sparkle in her eyes, and anger surged through them.

She asked Xiao He to get up from the ground: "Find someone to go to the front hall and keep an eye on her. If she has anything to tell me, I want to see what purpose she has here!"

After saying that, another thought came to my mind.

She took a deep breath, turned around and left the boudoir bitterly.

At the same time, Gu Yiyi had found Shopkeeper Jin, and under the recommendation of Shopkeeper Jin, she met many people from the chamber of commerce.

These people are all the bosses and shopkeepers of major shops in the market. They have a wide range of businesses and their connections are even more intricate.

But the most important thing for people doing business is superficiality.

Everyone praised Gu Yiyi to the extreme. Some of the words she said were too exaggerated for her to hear.

What a fairy-like appearance, the number one landlady in the imperial city, boasting one after another.

Gu Yiyi responded with disapproval in her heart, but she kept saying good things. Following Shopkeeper Jin's enthusiasm, more and more people came over with wine glasses, saying they wanted to toast and get to know Mrs. Gu.

Seeing the countless wine glasses presented to her, Gu Yiyi secretly sighed in her heart, this wine table culture has never disappeared from ancient times to the present.

What a bad habit! !

She had taken a few sips before, but she could not drink so much wine now.

What's more, among the people toasting, there are many people watching the fun. Some men's ulterior looks can tell at a glance that they have bad intentions.

Who knows if there is something in this wine.

For this reason, Gu Yiyi could only evade: "I'm sorry everyone, I can't bear to drink, so I can only drink tea instead of wine."

As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea. Unexpectedly, a young man in a gray robe in the crowd immediately shook his head.

"How can that be done? Mrs. Gu has drunk Shopkeeper Liu's wine, but you must drink my wine!! I heard that you took over Shopkeeper Li's bun shop, and my pawn shop is next door. From now on, if you are a neighbor, you must drink.”

He shouted: "Besides, these drinks are not intoxicating. They can only be drunk by women. So Mrs. Gu has to give me face and drink. Don't you think so?"

Shopkeeper Jin opened his mouth, wanting to speak for Gu Yiyi.

But at this time, she was stopped by Gu Yiyi.

Gu Yiyi looked at the man in front of her. Although he was unfamiliar, Gu Yiyi recognized some of the decorations on the man's body, all of which were from Yuanyangfang.

She had done special research before, and the jade pendant tied around her waist, the belt inlaid with jewels, and the jade crown were all sold by Yuanyangfang.

Gu Yiyi shifted her gaze, and sure enough she saw shopkeeper Tong not far away staring here with amusement on his face.

Gu Yiyi's eyes darkened a bit, and after stopping Shopkeeper Jin, she suddenly looked at the man.

Just as he was about to speak, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came over behind him.

The man in gray robe immediately made way for him and respectfully shouted: "Master Bai!"

It turns out that this middle-aged man is the famous Mr. Bai.

Really rich.

Gu Yiyi looked at the fine materials on his clothes, the ring on his finger, and even the few pearls and jade decorations on his clothes, all of which were inlaid with very expensive jade.

The clothes are luxurious but not luxurious, and the texture is expensive.

The man has a square face, looks both good and evil, and is considered a man of temperament.

He looked at Gu Yiyi with a smile and became polite: "It turns out that the girl is Mrs. Gu. I have admired her for a long time."

As the richest man, he is still very polite and has no airs like his wife.

Gu Yiyi also treated each other with courtesy and politeness.

At this moment, the man in gray robe took the opportunity to pour a glass of wine for Mr. Bai and started to encourage him.

"Mr. Bai, Mrs. Gu is the new star of our chamber of commerce. Judging from the way she spends a lot of money to buy land, she may be the leader of our chamber of commerce in the future.

Therefore, Mr. Bai can also have a drink with his wife and welcome Mrs. Gu on behalf of our chamber of commerce. "

If nothing else, this man's mouth is really annoying.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be trying to persuade everyone here to come and toast, completely regardless of Gu Yiyi's life or death.

If a woman is drunk like this, she will faint for half her life.

But others didn't think much about it, as if drinking was a natural thing, and not drinking would mean losing face.

Seeing this, Gu Yiyi suddenly put down the cup and said to Master Bai.

"When I first arrived, I didn't have time to prepare a greeting gift for Mr. Bai. How about... I'll perform a trick for Mr. Bai now."

Everyone heard that she was going to perform a trick, and their interest was instantly aroused.

"Tricks? Does Mrs. Gu know how to do tricks?"

"That's really awesome!"
