"A lot? When my elder sister was divorced, didn't I give her four hundred taels of silver? Otherwise, my elder sister can borrow some from your pawnshop owner, which will be considered as paying back my silver."

Gu Qiongsi was not polite at all and said to Xie Chengyu with a smile.

As soon as Xie Chengyu heard it, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and what Gu Qiongsi had just said about borrowing money from the pawnshop owner was even more impossible.

After her affair with him was discovered, she was divorced and the man refused to even see her. Even when she went to the pawnshop to find him wearing a veil, he still avoided her.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Xie Chengyu waved her hands quickly.

Qian glared at her and told her to shut up. She said, "You are right. We all hope that Yipinxiang can become profitable again. But now, we really can't afford that much money."

Xie Chengan also nodded, and then said, "If Yipinxiang can't operate for a period of time, our family will have to live on."

Gu Qiongsi sneered in his heart, but at this time he also knew that they definitely didn't have that much money. However, he didn't expect that they were unwilling to take out even a tael of silver.

"Then what should we do now? Do you still want Yipinxiang? If so, I can only take back those shares." Gu Qiongsi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and said angrily.

"Take it back? You can only take it back after you give us our dividends." Qian got furious upon hearing this and shouted in a shrill voice.

"Dividends? Mother is overthinking. His Royal Highness Prince An hasn't received any dividends yet. How dare you make this request? Besides, the store is making a loss now. Where will the dividends come from?" Gu Qiongsi pulled the corner of his mouth with a sneer, but stood up from the stool.

It seems that I was wrong today. It is impossible for Qian and her son to give me money. I have to find a way from other places.

"Si'er," Xie Cheng'an saw Gu Qiongsi getting up and going out again, and hurriedly called her, "You've finally come back, you should spend more time with Rui'er."

His eyes looked at Xie Rui in Nanny Li's arms, while Gu Qiongsi didn't even look at her son. She just paused for a moment and then continued to walk out.

They can still think about living their lives, but they have to consider how to overcome this difficulty. Otherwise, how will they explain to His Royal Highness Prince An when he returns?

Just as she was thinking about various possibilities in her mind, she happened to see Chenxiang passing by the gate of Jianjia Courtyard.

She only saw the other person's back, but it made Gu Qiong think of going to find Gu Xunwei.

Although she had run into obstacles in front of Gu Xunwei several times before, now the only person she could think of, besides Prince An, was Gu Xunwei.

No, there are also Gu Xunwei’s parents’.

By the way, her aunt had always been very nice to her. It would definitely be better if she went to see her directly.

At this time, Xie Cheng'an still chased out. Although he had just seen how Gu Qiongsi treated Rui'er, he still felt that Gu Qiongsi was only thinking about borrowing the money and was not in the mood.

"Si'er, it's so late, you'd better not go out again. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Xie Cheng'an looked at her distraught look and was still a little worried about her.

Considering that she would go to the Gu Mansion to borrow money tomorrow, Gu Qiongsi nodded and agreed.

At night, she stayed in Xie Cheng'an's east wing. With the help of the "beautiful smile", the two of them were bound to make love again.

Early the next morning, Xie Cheng'an packed up and went to the Bachelor's Mansion.

Qian also thoughtfully prepared a generous gift for him.

Gu Qiongsi listened to their movements and conversations, but she couldn't get up. She didn't know whether it was because of sleepiness or fatigue. Just when she was about to fall asleep again, she heard Qian's voice, sharp and penetrating into her ears.

"Oh my, the sun is already high in the sky, and you are still lying in bed. You have no awareness of being a concubine..."

Gu Qiongsi sighed helplessly and had to get up from the bed with great effort, because she knew that once Qian started to make trouble, she would not be able to fall asleep again no matter how tired she was.

After getting up and tidying up, Gu Qiongsi walked out of the house amid Qian's muttering. Xi Cui was sweeping the yard with a broom, and Qian was sitting in the shade at the door, staring at him with unfriendly eyes.

"Greetings to mother." Gu Qiongsi first bowed to her, then said slowly, "I have something else to do at Yipinxiang, so I won't be eating at home."

She was about to walk out the door when she heard Qian's voice still shrill and raised, "Today is the day to send the silver back, why don't you just stay with us today."

After hearing this, Gu Qiongsi could hardly believe his ears. He had never thought that even in this state, Qian was still thinking of using his money to subsidize their lives.

Really, where does he get the nerve to do that?

"Mother is overthinking. Yipinxiang is in such a state now. It's fine if her family refuses to take money, but how could they send money to her family? Let's wait and see."

"Oh, that won't do. Mother and Rui'er can't stop taking their medicine for a day." Xie Chengyu spoke immediately after hearing what Gu Qiongsi said.

Gu Qiongsi didn't say a word, just glanced at Xie Chengyu, then left Jianjiayuan, found a small shop to have some breakfast, and then went to Gu Mansion.

When the doorman saw that it was Gu Qiongsi, he immediately asked someone to call the butler Zhu Da.

"Mrs. Gu, please go back. You are not welcome at the Gu Mansion."

Zhu Da was not a butler himself. Although he is a butler now and the old butler has taught him step by step, it is a pity that he still does not look like a butler at all.

Standing at the door, he was like an iron tower, and he trained the servants in the yard to have strong muscles.

It is the same now. People don’t speak tactfully and their tone is even more stiff.

Gu Qiongsi hurriedly greeted him and then said, "The housekeeper misunderstood. I came to see my aunt. I have something very important to ask her."

After hearing this, Zhu Da did not dare to drive her away on his own, so he had to go to Mingde Hall in person to ask Su.

At this time, Gu Xunwei had just finished breakfast with Su and Gu Ziyu, and was chatting with Su. When they heard Zhu Da say that Gu Qiongsi came to ask to see Su, the two looked at each other.
