Chapter 145 Signature
Chapter 145 Signature
Mother Ye looked at Gu Qingyuan and said, "Young Master Gu, please give me an explanation for what happened today."
She hurt the Wang family so badly. If the Wang family asks about it later...
Gu Qingyuan hadn't wiped the blood off his face yet, and his expression grew colder. "Explanation? This is my explanation."
She raised the hand that was holding Ye Wu's hand a little higher, "Today, I must take Ye Wu away."
After hearing her words, Ye Wu was deeply moved.
Especially the way she fought with those people for him just now was deeply engraved in his heart.
Gu Qingyuan's words undoubtedly angered everyone. In their opinion, it was a foregone conclusion that Ye Wu would marry into the Wang family, but her sudden appearance disrupted their plans and ruined their good fortune.
"As Ye Wu's family, you pushed him into the fire pit just for money."
"As an outsider, why do you interfere in our family affairs?"
Ye Li jumped out again and accused her.
Mother Ye looked at Ye Wu and asked him, "Xiao Wu, what's the matter? Are you going to go with this woman?"
Gu Qingyuan stood in front of him and spoke for him: "I did it, you don't have to use moral coercion against him. You can ask around, I, Gu Qingyuan, have always been arrogant and domineering, and I only do things to make myself happy."
Then she took out a few banknotes from her pocket.
"This is six hundred taels. I want to take Ye Wu away."
When he heard the six hundred taels of silver, Ye Li, who had been still firmly rebuking Gu Qingyuan, stepped forward to snatch the banknote from her hand.
But Gu Qingyuan did not let her succeed, but dodged at an extremely fast speed.
"It's not impossible for you to take my fifth brother away."
Ye Li's attitude suddenly changed.
Gu Qingyuan smiled, knowing that they could marry Ye Wu to a dying old woman for money, or hand him over to someone else for money.
"And the things I brought at the door were originally the betrothal gifts for marrying Ye Wuxia."
But she doesn't want to give it to them now.
Sure enough, after hearing Gu Qingyuan offer six hundred taels, the Ye family's attitude towards her changed.
She and Ye Wu were invited into the house, and Ye's mother even took out the tea that other people usually gave her, which she usually didn't want to drink, and made it for Gu Qingyuan.
Throughout the whole process, Gu Qingyuan did not let go of Ye Wu, giving him a great sense of security.
After the tea was brewed, Gu Qingyuan took a sip.
It was just so-so, not even as delicious as the tea she made with the tea leaves she casually gave to Chunfen.
After all, only members of the royal family can drink their tea.
Gu Qingyuan was sitting, and Ye Wu stood obediently beside her, holding her hand.
She moved aside to make room for him and motioned for him to sit down as well.
"Regarding the betrothal gift..."
Ye's mother looked at her flatteringly and discussed with her.
"You know, we have already arranged a marriage with the Wang family. If we cancel it hastily, they will definitely not be happy."
What she meant was that she wanted Gu Qingyuan to contribute more.
"What does your family's affairs have to do with me?" Gu Qingyuan said coldly.
When she said this, Ye Li said dissatisfiedly: "How can it have nothing to do with you? If you hadn't appeared, my fifth brother would have married into the Wang family long ago."
Ye's mother didn't say anything, but she also tacitly agreed with Ye Li's words.
"If I remember correctly, there seem to have been several unjust cases in Jiangzhou."
Gu Qingyuan said this casually, but it made Ye's mother's heart skip a beat.
She has been in this position for many years, how can her hands be truly clean?
"Haha, Young Master Gu really loves to joke."
Ye's mother eased the atmosphere.
"Six hundred taels is six hundred taels. Someone, go outside and count the gift list."
Gu Qingyuan suddenly called her: "Prefect Ye, I didn't say that the ones outside will be given to you as well."
"But didn't you just say that it was a betrothal gift for Ye Wu?"
"Yeah, you said that was just now, and now I don't want to give it to you."
Gu Qingyuan had a playful smile on his face as he admired their changing expressions.
"How could you go back on your word?" Ye Li stretched out his hand and accused her.
Gu Qingyuan looked at her pointing at her hand and said, "I hate it most when people point their fingers at me. If you continue to be rude to me, I can't guarantee that your hand will be intact like it is now after today."
"Okay, okay, it was all a misunderstanding."
Sister Ye came out at the right time and acted as a good person.
"Master Gu is very generous, so please don't bother with my second sister. If you marry my fifth brother, you will have to call us sisters."
"Are you worthy?"
Gu Qingyuan has always been an only child, whether in modern times or here. Where did her sister come from?
Gu Qingyuan's lack of respect made Sister Ye's face turn greener and greener, but she finally endured it.
"I only brought out six hundred taels today. If you sign an agreement today that you will no longer have anything to do with Ye Wu, I will keep the money and take the person away."
After saying that, Gu Qingyuan took out the agreement that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and slammed it on the table.
Looking closely, I saw that the agreement had been stamped by the government and all that was needed was to sign and seal it.
"By the way, Prefect Ye. If you sign the document readily, I can speak well of you to His Majesty later. Otherwise, I will have His Majesty send someone to Jiangzhou to investigate those past unjust cases."
Mother Ye shuddered, "Sign, I'll sign right away!"
She asked someone to bring pen, ink, and ink pad.
After signing, I pressed my fingerprint on the signature area.
Seeing her sign, Gu Qingyuan also picked up the pen, wrote his own name and pressed his fingerprint.
The agreement was in two copies. In order to prevent them from tearing it up, Gu Qingyuan asked them to sign another copy, saying that it would be placed with the government in the capital.
In fact, although the Academy of Classics looks leisurely, most officials dare not provoke the people inside, because there are many agreements that require official certification, which are kept in the Academy of Classics.
After signing, Gu Qingyuan handed the banknote to Ye's mother.
There were six silver notes worth one hundred taels each. After counting them, Ye's mother put them into her sleeve.
"Now, can I take the person away?"
"Okay, okay, of course."
After sending Ye Wu and Gu Qingyuan to the door, Gu Qingyuan put her arm around his waist and jumped onto the horse.
The carriage driver saw her and asked, "Young Master Gu, do you still want to send in all these things you brought?"
"No, just take it back."
Gu Qingyuan didn't want to let them get away with it.
"Oh well."
Ye Wu sat in front of Gu Qingyuan, looked at his family at the door, and closed his eyes.
If Gu Qingyuan hadn't been here today, he would have gone to the Wang family.
Another reason why she didn't want to marry him was that she heard that the wealthy businessman Wang would let the person who brought him happiness be buried with him, and he didn't want to die yet.
Gu Qingyuan rode in front and set out on the journey back to Beijing.
Ye Wu's stomach suddenly growled, and he explained awkwardly, "They said that in order to keep me in shape, they only let me drink water and eat half a steamed bun every day."
"What? Then let's go find somewhere to eat."
"But didn't you say you only brought six hundred taels of silver?"
She gave all the money to his family, where does she get the money?
Gu Qingyuan laughed heartily, "Oh my god, you actually believed it?"
She, the great Young Master Gu, is not that poor, right?
