Evil Lady: My Hubby is a Traitor - C8

Chapter 8 – Bid Price

After Yun Qianliang used the rich brunch, he laid down in the courtyard and basked in the sun. The gentle breeze brushed past his and the warm sunlight shined on his body.

Although she was living quite a good life in the Yun Xiang Mansion, her mother, the Qin family, paid quite a lot of money off her silver coins.

In the past, Yun Qianliang thought that the Qin family treated her well, but he didn’t care about it.

Afterwards, when Yun Qianliang went and hanged herself, she picked up this body for no reason. She did not know anything about Qin family’s methods and only wanted to kill him.

His own daughter had strict teachings, knowledge was reasonable, wealth was everything, but’s teachings were pure and untalented. Normally, she would arrogantly fan the wind, causing Yun Qianliang to grow up to be a noble little princess.

After occupying this body, she no longer got close to Qin family, and restrained her temper, and did not often play with the young miss of the Shangguan Family. She was only a group of people watching her brainlessly make a joke out of herself, to be able to live to such a state was truly vexing.

Yun Qianliang happily counted the five banknotes worth a thousand each, as well as some gold and silver ingots and some crushed silver.

These gold coins were given to her during their marriage, she had anxiously taken them for herself, at that time she had truly angered Qin family.

However, thinking about her mother’s expensive dowry, Yun Qianliang still ached a lot. He always wanted to find a way to bring it back and fatten his own purse.

Yun Qianliang was counting down as a shadow fell down, blocking her view of the sun.

Relying on her Qi, he was able to discern the person’s identity. Yun Qianliang could not help but frown.

What was she doing here?

Yun Qianliang turned his head and put the silver notes into the purple sandalwood box. She held the purple sandalwood box tightly and said vigilantly, “I won’t give it to you even if you look at it again.”

Only money and chastity must be protected!

“Come with me to meet someone.” Gu Yicheng pretended not to see her stingy image and stated his purpose for coming.

When Yun Qianliang heard that she did not have any intentions to get rich, she relaxed and continued to play with her small amount of money that he did not know how much money they had.

“Hurry up and pack up.” Gu Yicheng’s face showed impatience.

The smile on Yun Qianliang’s mouth couldn’t even be concealed, but she pretended to cover her heart and heavily sigh.

“I’m so angry today that I can’t go anywhere. You better leave by yourself.” The happiness in that last sentence was not hidden at all. It did not seem to have been faked.

“The authority of a steward of the Prime Minister’s Estate.” Gu Yicheng’s attractive condition was exactly what Yun Qianliang had suggested this morning.

The reason he offered such conditions was because, firstly, the person he wanted to meet was very important to him, and secondly, he could use this opportunity to probe Yun Qianliang out.

“NO!” Yes! “Yes!” Yun Qianliang enunciated every word.

If not for the hardships she had suffered these past few days, she would have obediently stayed in Cloud Water Pavilion. She would occasionally think about the matter of getting back her mother’s dowry, living a carefree life.

These people in the prime minister’s residence wanted to provoke her so much that she had no choice but to find trouble with them. That was why she was forced to go out and establish her prestige.

Yun Qianliang rejected without hesitation, which was something that Gu Yicheng did not expect.

“What I heard was the transfer of brunch.” Gu Yicheng revealed it with his words, his gaze was fixated on that enchanting face, trying to see through her disguise.

Yun Qianliang laughed indifferently, and shook his head: “I do want you to protect me, and protect me from dying, but with this small matter in the backyard of your house, taking over would be asking for trouble, I don’t care at all.”

Both men and women were not as good as money to heal her, and money was a dead thing that would never betray her.

Gu Yicheng, what’s the point of coming over here?

“Name a price.” Gu Yicheng was rather straightforward.

“Aren’t you underestimating me a little too much?” Yun Qianliang slowly returned the silver notes back to their place reluctantly. He then used the key to lock the lock, and as if it was a jewel, he tied the silver keys to his neck. After she put it away, she stood up with the box in her hands and extended a finger towards Gu Yicheng, “One thousand gold, you don’t accept bargaining.”

“Sure.” Gu Yicheng agreed without hesitation.

“I can’t trust you. Write the written contract back at Qing Hu Tong, then pay half the deposit first.” Yun Qianliang walked into Cloud Water Pavilion with the box.

The Gu Xiangfu did not assign her a servant, she could only rely on two servants to clean up the things she had married into Cloud Water Pavilion. This servant who had not lived in seclusion all year round, other than the new house and main hall, she did not clean them carefully, they needed to be rearranged.

Although the Cloud Water Pavilion was very big, it was very easy to create a study room. However, Yun Qianliang did not have much literacy, so he did not need to use ink and paper. Therefore, she pretended that the four treasures in the room were all there, so that people could not even write anything in the Cloud Water Pavilion.

“Gu San, take out five hundred silver from the accounting office and bring me a set of four treasures.” Gu Yicheng followed him towards the Cloud Water Pavilion, and the distant Gu San followed him out of the Green Pine Academy.

Chun Hua washed her hands and came over to welcome Yun Qianliang. Seeing that there was someone behind him bowing to him, she said, “Greetings, Master.”

“Help your young miss change into clean and dignified clothes.” Gu Yicheng instructed, then he sat down at the head seat and waited.

“Yes.” Chun Hua replied.

Yun Qianliang walked in, pondering about the simple and elegant clothes, was she going to see her elders?

It was said that Gu Yicheng’s family only had his father, but his father betrayed his mother for a woman, and the two left to work in another country.

He was raised by his grandfather, who died the year he was crowned weak.

Where did he get an elder with a new wife?

For Gu Yicheng to be willing to offer such generous conditions, the other party must have a high position in his heart.

When Yun Qianliang finished changing into her clothes, Gu Yicheng had already finished writing his name. He had also prepared five hundred silver taels worth of banknotes.

Yun Qianliang picked up the documents and read through them one by one, in case Gu Yicheng made a loophole in the words and made her pay for it.

“Rumor has it that the Miss Yun is illiterate, and she looks at the words seriously.” Gu Yicheng suddenly said.

Yun Qianliang was startled, she handed the paper over to Chun Hua, “Check if there are any problems, if there are no problems then put it away well.

Gu Yicheng’s calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, the calligraphy was suitable for people, it was extremely hard to find a single calligraphy or painting in the capital.

Chun Hua took over the paper, and retorted in a low voice, “My family’s young miss still recognizes these words.”

A carriage was already prepared in front of the Gu Xiangfu, the carriage driver had a heroic look on his face, he did not look like an ordinary carriage driver.

Yun Qianliang did not size up any of the residences of nobles or high ranking officials were unusual, not to mention the young Gu Yicheng who stood at a high position. It was not surprising that the two coachmen in the mansion were people with skills, if he wanted to live, she had to be obedient and not investigate the situation in Gu Xiangfu.
