Chapter 917 Tong Yujun and his wife come to visit
Gui'er exchanged polite greetings with the fourth concubine and Sha Lili for a while.
She originally wanted to find out about the situation in the Marshal's Mansion, but now that she saw that they had almost finished talking and that the mother and daughter did not have much good intentions, she stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, a maid came from the kitchen with tea. She poured it for Gui'er politely and said, "Miss Gui'er, please have some tea. I just finished my work in the kitchen."
Gui'er took a look at her and found out that she was the cook Luhua who was given to her husband as a concubine by Sha Lili.
"So it's Luhua. How are you doing lately? When did you come to Hong Kong?"
"I asked my mother to bring her here. After all, she has moved into the house. If she is left out in the countryside all day, people will gossip. Besides, it is expensive to hire workers here, so it is better to cook it ourselves. Luhua, go to the kitchen and heat up the food. There is no need to make so much. My mother and I have no appetite, and the young master will not come back to eat." Sha Lili glanced at her and said coldly.
After hearing this, Gui Er was about to order her to leave, so she said, "Then I should go too. Take care of yourself, Si Niang. I'll come back to see you later."
Fourth Auntie quickly stood up and pretended to be surprised and said, "Just leave. Let's eat first. It's so rare for our family to get together."
Gui'er sneered in her heart. Sha Lili had just ordered her to leave, but she was still pretending.
She smiled and said, "Let's talk about it sometime. See you later, Si Niang."
When he came down from Sha Lili's house, Ah Cheng was chatting with the guys from their foreign company on the first floor, so he hurried to drive to pick up Gui'er.
After getting in the car and starting to drive away, Ah Cheng said indignantly, "This Fourth Concubine has always been good at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. When she was in Jiangcheng, she received so many favors from our young master. Now that the young lady is just in trouble, not only do they not help, but they also want to add insult to injury, and they want to take over the house and their property."
Gui'er asked in surprise: "How did you know? Weren't you down there just now?"
Ah Cheng smiled and said, "This Madam Sha is not popular among the shop assistants. I bribed her with a few cigarettes, and they asked me to stand in the middle of the stairs to eavesdrop. I was afraid that you would fall into their trap, but I didn't expect you to be able to handle it by yourself. If the young master knew, he would definitely be comforted. But this mother and daughter are really hateful. Let's not have any contact with her in the future. This time, I even lost money on mooncakes and fruit. You didn't even drink a few sips of tea."
Gui Er smiled bitterly and said, "I already knew their true intentions. I just wanted to get some information about the Marshal's Mansion from them. If there were no gifts, I'm afraid these mother and daughter wouldn't say a word."
"It's a pity that I haven't been able to find out about the Second Young Master's situation."
"Forget it, let's go back first. I'll go find Tong Yujun tomorrow to see if he has any news about Jiang Cheng."
When I returned to the villa, I saw a black car parked at the door.
Ah Cheng became alert and said to Gui'er, "Miss, can you recognize whose car this is? Could it be that Ouyang Bao's?"
Guier took a look and said, "I don't know either. These cars all look the same. Even if it's theirs, we're not afraid. We don't have any leverage over them."
Liu Jin saw them coming back through the small window and quickly opened the door. Ah Cheng drove in and asked as soon as he got out: "Liu Jin, who are these people? Why are you letting everyone in here?"
6 Jin said aggrievedly, "It wasn't me, it was Ding Xiang who said that person was Miss's good friend. They can come in and sit down first. Miss will be back soon anyway. They've already been sitting here for quite a while. Ding Xiang even asked for some snacks and tea to be made for them."
Gui'er walked quickly into the room and found that it was Song Xilun and Tong Yujun. She said happily, "Why are you two here? I was just about to look for you."
Song Xilun smiled and said, "Isn't it the holidays? I made some mooncakes with Jiangcheng flavors, so I'll give some to you. Yujun also said she hasn't seen you in a few days and wants to come over to play with you."
Gui Er looked at the table, which contained mooncakes, fruit, other snacks, and a few boxes that looked like they might be clothes or shoes. She smiled and said, "You're so polite! It's like we're really on the same page. I also happened to have bought some popular mooncakes here in Hong Kong and wanted to give them to you. Since you're here, we can consider it an exchange. But I'm a little embarrassed by your generous gifts."
Tong Yujun smiled and said, "Why are we still fussing over this? What have you been busy with lately? Is your schoolwork so heavy? You haven't even come to play with me."
Guier had no choice but to tell her about her part-time job at a newspaper.
Tong Yujun sighed, "Guier, I really admire you. No matter where you are, you can adapt to the environment quickly."
Gui Er smiled bitterly and said, "No, I had no choice. One reason is that I really want to adapt to the environment here as soon as possible. Another reason is that I want to make more money. By the way, have you guys heard any news from Jiangcheng recently? The situation is unstable right now, and I'm really worried about Brother Song and my brother."
Song Xilun said: "My father has almost finished handling the family business and plans to come to Hong Kong with my mother during this period. However, it is not yet known whether my eldest wife and eldest brother will come with them. I asked my father if he wanted to prepare a room, but he always vaguely said that my eldest wife didn't know yet and that my eldest brother would not come anyway."
Gui'er also guessed that Song Xichen would never leave Jiangcheng easily, so Mrs. Song didn't care much about it.
"Mr. Song, I wonder if there's any news from the Jiangcheng Mansion, especially my second brother. Although I've gotten some information from the Fourth Concubine, I'm not sure. Besides, she left the Mansion a long time ago and went to Sha Lili's in-laws' house, so what she knows isn't exact."
"I really don't know about this. I only know that Jiangcheng is in chaos right now, with prices soaring and people in panic. I heard that the government has already stepped in to crack down on some merchants who gouged rice prices and other commodities, so there hasn't been any major chaos in the market. Everyone praises the young marshal, no, the great marshal for his good governance, but as the war progresses, I'm afraid a war is inevitable. Recently, we called home, but there was no reply, whether we called or sent a telegram. We are also very worried. I'm afraid that my father has already taken my mother on the road. There are many people on the road heading south to avoid the war. I hope they can be safe on the road." Song Xilun said worriedly.
Gui Er quickly comforted him, "Master Song and the Second Madam will definitely be accompanied by guards, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Mr. Song doesn't need to worry too much."
