Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Gu Chengyan was prepared to be beaten by Lord Gu.

He hurriedly sent Guan Yingying to South City, comforted her to take good care of the child and not to worry about anything, and then returned to the Marquis' Mansion overnight.

As soon as Gu Chengyan left, Guan Yingying also went out.

Taking the jade pendant, he went to the prince's mansion.

As long as she can survive this crisis, she will get the saltpeter and make a fortune. Now, she wants to show the prince her trump card...

Gu Chengyan and Guan Yingying had a great fight and felt like the water in his brain was flowing out and his IQ returned to normal.

Killing someone is not like beating one of your own servants to death, how can it be so easy to do so?

The best way is to use power to force Ni Keng to tear up the contract.

Although my uncle is very fair and strict, we are family after all. It is better to be beaten by him than to die.

It was already early morning, the hour of Chou, when he returned to the mansion.

Gu Shaoyu's yard was different from theirs. It was a separate yard on the east side, separated from the main yard by a long wall.

The door that usually connects to the other side seems to be empty, but as soon as someone approaches, guards will come out to stop them.

Gu Chengyan gritted his teeth and slammed the animal ring on the door.

Bei Chen immediately opened the door and saw that it was Gu Chengyan. He bowed respectfully: "Master Gu?"

Gu Chengyan didn't dare to show him a cold face, and said gently and politely: "I have something urgent to discuss with my third uncle."

Beichen: "Mr. Ge didn't come back tonight."

"Not back yet?" Gu Chengyan suddenly felt a little desperate.

Lord Gu often discusses matters with His Majesty in the palace all night long. Although it is not common for him to stay out all night, it happens occasionally.

He was anxiously thinking about what to do. It was almost dawn and he had to think of a solution immediately, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Marquis Gu Boyu, his mother, and his grandmother were all useless. They had no money and no ability to solve the problem.

I still have to look for my third uncle.

He rode out and went to the palace.

At the hour of Mao, the palace gates opened, and all the officials' sedan chairs that had been waiting quietly outside the palace entered the palace in order.

Gu Chengyan saw Xie Anfeng and bowed deeply to him: "Sir Xie, there is an urgent matter in the mansion. Can you tell my uncle?"

When Xie Anfeng saw that it was his second son-in-law and that he was looking for Lord Gu, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Not long after, Xie An sent a guard out to tell Gu Chengyan that Lord Gu had left the palace after a meeting yesterday.

Indeed, apart from the emperor and his guards, there were only eunuchs and women in the entire palace. Officials basically did not spend the night in the palace, especially in the inner city.

This is strange. He is not in the palace or the mansion. Where did Third Uncle go?

Gu Chengyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, when he suddenly heard the respectful voice of the gate guard behind him: "Lord Gu."

Uncle San is here!

Gu Chengyan turned around and saw his third uncle in a purple court robe, looking dignified, noble and imposing.

"Uncle San, my nephew has something urgent to do."

"For official matters, go to your superiors. For personal matters, go back to the mansion and tell the Marquis."

Gu Shaoyu said majestically that he had to go to court, so how could he handle family affairs at the palace gate.

"Uncle San, the matter is too big and I need your help. Uncle San, please save your nephew!" He bowed his hands vigorously, but did not dare to kneel down at the palace gate and spoke loudly.

Seeing that his eyes were dark and his face was haggard, Gu Shaoyu said, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and say hello to His Majesty."

Gu Chengyan watched Gu Shaoyu go in, feeling extremely anxious.

Not long after, Gu Shaoyu came out and without asking what happened, the uncle and nephew both rode their horses back to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Shaoyu took Gu Chengyan directly to Ci'enyuan. Gu Chengyan originally wanted to talk to his third uncle in private, but he didn't expect his third uncle to be businesslike and go directly to his grandmother's place.

The old lady was surprised to see Gu Shaoyu coming back: "You didn't go to court, why are you back?"

Gu Shaoyu came in and saw the old lady sitting at the top, so he sat slightly below her and said to Gu Chengyan, "Your Highness can now speak."

Shizi?

This is truly a business as usual.

The old lady knew that something big was happening, so she sat down calmly and looked at Gu Chengyan.

Gu Chengyan had no choice but to say that the ice shop he opened had lost money.

I said it all over again.

The old lady was so angry that she was about to faint. She pointed at him and kept calling him “you you”, unable to speak.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver!!

After a while, she asked Gu Shaoyu pleadingly: "How do you think we should deal with this?"

No matter what, Gu Chengyan is the eldest son of the Marquisate and her grandson. She can't ask him to die.

Moreover, three hundred thousand taels of silver, this must be a trap set by someone.

Gu Shaoyu didn't see it that way: "Mother, no one deceived him, he was just stupid and arrogant."

The contract was written in black and white. No one signed it under his head, and it had to go through the government. As far as the contract itself was concerned, the other party did nothing wrong.

In addition, the saltpeter must have been purchased by the other party, or at least the other party was aware of it, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that all the saltpeter was gone after the contract was signed.

Gu Shaoyu said: "You must not make a fuss at this time, and you must not bully others by taking advantage of your power. Invite Ni Keng to the mansion, and we will discuss with him to reduce the compensation and delay the time."

He looked at the contract, which clearly stated in black and white: "If there is any breach of contract, the party shall pay ten times the amount for the breach of contract, and the compensation must be paid within ten days."

Even the time for payment of compensation is specified. Only a hopelessly stupid person would sign such a contract.

But when he turned to the end and saw the words "Tu Qianyue", he frowned and asked, "Who is this?"

Gu Chengyan lowered his head: "That's my cousin, the daughter of my third uncle in Ouyang."

The old lady frowned and said, "Your cousin opened a shop in the capital? Why haven't you heard your mother tell you about it?"

"Mother doesn't want to disturb grandmother." Gu Chengyan quickly said, "She was invited by my grandson to help. I can't push all the responsibilities onto her."

He took all the responsibilities on himself and was the party to the contract.

Gu Shaoyu looked at him and didn't say anything for a long time.

Now, he can only use his position to negotiate with others.

You have to agree to some conditions from the other party.

The old lady knew that Gu Shaoyu was in trouble. These things were very likely to jeopardize his official reputation, but what could she do?

"Third Master, this matter is difficult for you. I apologize to you for not teaching the prince well. From now on, I will take care of it and will not embarrass you again."

Gu Chengyan felt a burning pain on his face. For his sake, his grandmother spoke to his third uncle like this, as if the other party was not his third son, but a high and mighty king.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, in front of the ice shop, a group of people and dozens of carts appeared. The drivers and guards were all burly men.

Ni Keng got out of the luxurious carriage in front with a smile on his face.

The guy from the next shop asked, "Are you here to buy ice?"

Ni Keng smiled cheerfully: "I placed an order five days ago and came to pick it up today."
