Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Nanny Zheng was the first to react, and she hurried to support Old Madam Gu.

"Ouch, my arm is broken. I'm going to ask my eldest brother to come over. I want to ask him if he cares about Ye Jintang being such a jerk."

"Old Madam, you may have forgotten that my grandfather has caught a cold and has closed the door to visitors. If you want to accuse me of something bad, you have to wait until he recovers."

"Someone, send Madam Gu out."

"I'll see who dares to touch me. This is the Wen family. My last name is Wen. Who dares to touch me?"

Madam Gu supported herself with her arm and managed to stand steadily. She had just hit the bunk bed quite hard and her arm was aching slightly.

"What if it was me who asked the old lady to leave?"

Wen Ziqiu strode into the house and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Jintang was not injured.

Just now, when he heard that Madam Gu and Ye Jintang came to Gu Waner's place together, he was shocked and worried that Ye Jintang would suffer a loss, so he hurried over to take a look.

"Wen Ziqiu, don't forget that you are just my eldest brother's adopted grandson from a side branch."

"So what if I raise a grandson? I will take care of my grandfather until his death. What else can the old lady do besides coming to the Wen family to ask for money?"

"Someone send Madam Gu back."

Wen Ziqiu gave the order and several servants came forward immediately.

"Okay, very good. Wen Ziqiu, just wait for me."

Seeing that Wen Ziqiu and Ye Jintang were obviously in collusion, Mrs. Gu knew that she would not be able to get away with it if she continued to stay here. She could only glare at the two of them fiercely and leave unwillingly.

"Jintang, are you okay?"

When Wen Ziqiu saw Ye Jintang holding a dagger in his hand, he instantly became alert.

"It's okay. Madam Gu can't get any advantage from me."

"It's okay."

As soon as he entered the room, Wen Ziqiu's eyes never left Ye Jintang.

As the saying goes, those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while bystanders can see things clearly. Ye Jintang had no idea at all, but Gu Wan'er, who was standing by, noticed something.

She felt a little bitter in her heart. The man she wanted but couldn't get, Ye Jintang treated him as a brother.

"Cousin, aren't you going to sort out the bills for the Gu family's spending on the Wen family over the years? How are you doing?"

"Just sort out some accounts that can be checked immediately. Guess how much money the Gu family took from the Wen family in the past ten years."

"One hundred thousand taels?"

The silver in Tianqin Kingdom is still very valuable, and its purchasing power is strong. Even if Gu Xiucai has more concubines, it shouldn't cost him much silver.

"If it was 80 taels, I wouldn't be surprised. It was taels."

"Do you know how much 800 taels is? The current Imperial Noble Consort's monthly allowance is only 8 taels. She, a scholar, spends taels a year, which is more than the Imperial Noble Consort spends."

The Wen family is a wealthy family in Xingnan City, but 80 taels of silver is not a small amount. If they continue like this, the Wen family's assets will be worse than if they were just named Gu.

"My grandmother was very frugal on weekdays. My grandfather's concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters only received two taels of silver a month. How could she possibly spend 2 taels of silver a year?"

Gu Wan'er grew up in the backyard of the Gu family. She knew the family situation best. She only bought two sets of clothes every season, which didn't seem like her family was well-off.

"Then there is only one possibility. Madam Gu hid all the silver."

"What a miser you are! You don't need to put all that money away."

Wen Ziqiu gritted his teeth. Madam Gu was even more powerful than a blood-sucking leech.

"Tomorrow I will send a copy of the bill to the Gu family and another copy to the elders of the clan."

"That will be a good show."

After Wen Ziqiu finished talking about the bill, he looked at Gu Waner.

"I'm helping my cousin find two good families. One is Mr. Zhang from the west of the city. He is a few years older than you. He has an old mother and no one else at home. He will take part in the spring imperial examination next year. If he passes the imperial examination, you will be an official's wife in the future."

"The other one is Mr. Wu from the east of the city. I have some business dealings with the Wu family and I have a good impression of Mr. Wu."

One is in the east of the city, and the other is in the west. These are two completely different lives. Wen Ziqiu can't make the decision for Gu Waner, so he can only let her choose for herself.

“That leaves me with no choice.”

Gu Wan'er was also a little troubled.

She was afraid of following the path of Old Madam Gu, and she was also afraid of being trapped in the backyard for the rest of her life if she married Master Wu, fighting with those beautiful girls all day long.

After much thought, she finally chose Mr. Zhang. Even if he didn't pass the imperial examination, he could just donate money to become a small official, and his future life would not be bad.

"Okay, then it's settled. Before the marriage is finalized, you will live in the Wen family. When you are ready to get married, you can just go to the Gu family for the formalities."

"Thank you, cousin."

"No need to be polite."

Wen Ziqiu was very polite to Gu Waner, so polite that it made Gu Waner feel sad.

Madam Gu suffered a great loss at the hands of Ye Jintang, so naturally she would not let her go easily.

She came to make a fuss again. When she didn't see Old Master Wen, she started crying and wailing at the door of the Wen family, saying that Wen Ziqiu had inherited the Wen family's property and began to disown her as his aunt.

Wen Ziqiu gave her the bill directly. If she dared to make a fuss, he would read out the details on the bill carefully in front of everyone.

"This is all fake. Wen Ziqiu, you are so heartless. You have only just taken over the Wen family business, and yet you don't recognize me? I am your grandfather's biological sister."

Old Madam Gu stood at the gate of the Wen family mansion, crying at the top of her lungs.

She doesn't care about her face and wants to fight the Wen family to the end.

She hadn't seen Mr. Wen for a few days, and she really wondered if Mr. Wen had been harmed by Wen Ziqiu.

"We in the Wen family have accounts for everything we do. I can bring out all the accounts of you asking for money from the Wen family in the past ten years and let you check them one by one."

Wen Ziqiu also gave a bill to several elders of the family. They heard that Old Madam Gu had gone to the Wen family mansion to cause trouble, so they all came uninvited.

Ye Jintang, who was hiding behind the door and watching the fun, did not expect that the elders of the Wen family were so powerful in fighting. After only two cups of tea, Old Madam Gu fainted from anger and was hurriedly sent to the clinic by the Gu family.

"Oh, it's over. I thought Madam Gu was so powerful, but she turns out to be a wimp."

Liuli, who was standing next to Ye Jintang, said with a smile, "It's not that Madam Gu is timid, it's just that the elders of the Wen family are really good at talking."

"Well, all the elders were businessmen before. If you are not good at talking, you can't make money."

Old Master Wen knew everything that happened at the Wen family's doorstep, but he didn't show up and let Old Madam Gu do whatever she wanted.

Because he knew that as soon as he showed up, Madam Gu would probably act even more evil.

Ye Jintang turned around and went back to the courtyard where he lived.

Madam Gu will definitely not return the money she got from the Wen family.

But Ye Jintang will not let her off easily.

"Wuwei, go to the Gu family and see where Madam Gu hides the silver."

"Yes, little one, go right here."

When Zhou Wuwei heard Ye Jintang say this, he vaguely guessed that Ye Jintang wanted to take away Madam Gu's secret fund.

He also heard some of the words that Mrs. Gu said to Ye Jintang outside the door that day.

The fact that Zhou Wuwei dared to curse his master so harshly and didn't burn down the Gu family was already a sign of his good-heartedness.
