   Zhou Ying nodded, Qi Ran said: "It's a long story, I don't know where to start."

Chu Xiaoyun thought for a while: "It's better to start from the beginning. Start from the day you left home."

Zhou Ying was silent for a moment, and said Voice: "Okay."

Five years ago, Zhou Ying and Gu Qingyun got married. After marriage, the husband and wife are in love with each other, and they are an enviable fairy couple in Hejing County. Because Zhou Ying was hit by the downfall of her family, her health has not been very good. After marriage, in order to take care of her health, Gu Qingyun even said to her parents that she would delay having a baby. Zhou Ying was very moved by this.

Zhou Ying felt a little inferior to her mother's family, but Gu Qingyun never mentioned it, and often donated some money to her brother Zhou Sheng. Zhou Ying felt very sorry for spending money from her husband's family to help her natal brother. Sometimes her brother asked for money frequently, and she said to Gu Qingyun: "My husband doesn't need to satisfy my brother every time. If you respond to your requests here, he will not know how to make progress.

" At this time, Gu Qingyun would smile lightly: "My Gu family often donates to the common people, and the money for doing good deeds in a year is more than this much. That is your own brother, so why not help a little." Zhou Ying was very moved by this

.

The two of them lived happily ever after for more than a year, but it's not known whether it was because of the passage of time, the relationship faded, or because of his brother's incompetence, which eventually made Gu Qingyun unbearable. First, he started to show his face towards Zhou Sheng, and refused to help him any more; then he gradually became critical of Zhou Ying's attitude, and finally broke out after borrowing money once.

On that day, Zhou Sheng wanted to buy a shop on the street in Hejing County Food Street, but his money was a little tight, so he came to ask his brother-in-law for help. Gu Qingyun was not there that day, so Zhou Sheng turned to his sister for help. Zhou Ying was very annoyed by Zhou Sheng's behavior of repeatedly asking for money, so she refused it simply. But he couldn't stand Zhou Sheng's begging, so he said to Zhou Sheng: "Since that's the case, then I'll go and investigate it. If it's really as good as you said, I won't be too late to help you."

Zhou Sheng felt a little disappointed that his sister didn't give the money at that time. But his sister promised to give money after the inspection, and he got excited again: "Don't worry, your brother will never make a mistake this time."

Zhou Ying went to inspect it in person, and observed around the shop for a few days, and there was indeed a lot of traffic , business travelers also have to rest in that area. The location of the shop is eye-catching. If the price is reasonable, whether it is self-employed or rented out, it will be a sure-fire business.

Zhou Ying also inquired that the owner of that shop had to sell the shop because of a loss of business and had to fill the hole, and the price was several taels of silver lower than that of the surrounding shops. This is a worthwhile business, and Zhou Ying affirmed her brother's vision for the first time.

Thinking that her husband was always responsive to her elder brother's request, Zhou Ying didn't ask Gu Qingyun when she went back this time, and took a part of the daily living monthly money to Zhou Sheng on her own initiative, and asked him to return the money as soon as possible.

Before Zhou Sheng left, he took out two taels of silver and handed it to Zhou Ying: "This is earned from the business last time, sister, you can use it to buy something for Qingyun. Brother, today is really all thanks to my good brother-in-law. Brother I assure you and my brother-in-law that from now on, I will change my mind and take good care of the business. I will not disappoint my parents."

Zhou Ying was very pleased to see that her brother not only found business opportunities, but also knew to think about herself and her husband after making money. She accepted the money and said: "My husband must be very happy to know that my brother is so motivated."

When Gu Qingyun came back that day, Zhou Yingfu had no time to tell Gu Qingyun about this matter, so Gu Qingyun asked him to blame him. In the future, Zhou Ying must obtain his permission to take a penny from home.

Zhou Ying was very surprised, she didn't understand why Gu Qingyun seemed to be a different person overnight, and the two quarreled for the first time. Gu Qingyun then moved to the study.

Since then, Gu Qingyun has suspended her right to withdraw money from the cashier at will. She has to get Gu Qingyun's permission to spend a penny, and in many cases, Gu Qingyun does not agree to spend some reasonable expenses.

In order to have a little money at hand, Zhou Ying began to look for work outside. Because of her status as the young wife of the Gu family, it was inconvenient for her to show up, so she had to ask her personal servant girl to go to the embroidery workshop to pick up work and come back to save some money for emergencies.

Early in the morning when she left home, Zhou Ying took her maid to send the finished handicrafts to the East Street Embroidery Workshop. Every time she came near the embroidery workshop, she would find a hidden place to wait, and let the servant girl take the embroidery to the embroidery workshop for payment. The bill was settled that day, and the embroidery workshop didn't outsource much work that day, so the master and servant had to go back home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the house, he was stopped by Gu Qingyun.

After retreating from the maid, Gu Qingyun sneered: "Where did you go early in the morning? Did you go to give money to your brother who is so muddy that he can't support the wall?"

Zhou Ying took a deep breath and restrained: "I'll give it to you in private. Husband has already taught me a lesson for passing brother money once, so why hold on to it every day."

"Heh——I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have become more and more eloquent." Gu Qingyun sneered, "The fifty taels of silver in my copper furnace , but you took it away?"

This was a slap in the face, Zhou Ying didn't understand why Gu Qingyun became like this, let alone why she suddenly became so unbearable in his heart. She was trembling all over, and her lips trembled for a long time before she could say a word: "What silver? I have never seen it before." After thinking about it, she held back her

tears and said, "Did you put it somewhere else? You have silver, why don't you What are you doing in the cash drawer and the copper furnace?"

Gu Qingyun sneered: "Why don't I put the silver in the cash drawer, don't you understand? I obviously put the silver in the copper furnace. A long-legged man ran away? That's the monthly money for the shopkeeper and the guys. You really didn't see it?" "

No." Zhou Ying held back tears to keep them from falling, "I don't know what's going on."

Gu Qingyun looked suspiciously at Zhou Ying's dusty appearance: "Where did you go so early in the morning? Did you give the money to your useless brother again?"

Zhou Ying couldn't believe herself She swallowed hard and said, "Husband, I don't know what I did to make you so suspicious. I will find a way to return the money I lent my brother last time. Since you ordered me last time, I will use a penny You have to talk to the cashier about the money, and they don't always give it to you. You only said that you need your permission to pay the money, and you didn't say that you have to report to the servant who guards the door. I went out today because of myself. It's all about my brother's private matter, why is it talking about my brother? No one else is here..."

Zhou Ying was also angry, and Gu Qingyun felt a great grievance for implicating her brother for no reason, and couldn't help but make a distinction.

"I, Gu Mansion, have never lost anything so far. Well, I won't talk about this matter. If you want to spend such a large sum of money to go out, shouldn't you tell me?" Gu Qingyun said

casually The indifferent words made Zhou Ying's heart sink to the bottom, she shook her head in disbelief: "Husband, in your heart...you actually think of me like this in your heart?"

Gu Qingyun snorted coldly in response to his matter.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Ying couldn't help but coldly said: "Heh... this is simply a joke. I don't know if you have lost anything since the establishment of the Gu Mansion, and what does it have to do with me? How can you treat me like that... ...I am also the young wife of the Gu family, the one you said at the time that you would live forever...How could you treat me like this? Do you know that because of your change of attitude towards me, the servants in the family dared to Show me your face, I don't want to enjoy the treatment of the mistress of the Gu family, I just hope... I just hope that my husband will not say such hurtful words..."

Zhou Ying broke down in tears.

Gu Qingyun glanced at the corridor behind him out of the corner of his eye, and said disgustedly: "Look at you, you take your Gu family one by one, do you regard the Gu family as your home? Do you regard us as your family? Our Gu family does not treat you as your family." Master, is it short for you to eat or short for you to wear? Are you not afraid of ignoring your conscience when you say this?"

Zhou Ying didn't know how to bear Gu Qingyun's inexplicable words. It took a while for her to regain her thoughts. She wiped away the tears on her face and said sadly: "I, the young lady of the Gu family, would have to speak nicely to a servant in the accountant at home if I spent a penny. What does your husband think? The truth, how could it be that I speak out of conscience? I used to think that it was just a swindler pretending to be a tiger, but I didn't expect it to be the meaning of my husband. Outsiders say that I married a good family. If I know the truth, I'm afraid they will laugh Lost your teeth!"

"Yun'er, what's going on. There was a lot of noise early in the morning." The voices of Mr. Gu and his wife came from far away from the other end of the corridor.

Gu Qingyun looked at Zhou Ying with more disgust: "Go back to the room, don't let my parents see you making trouble!"

Zhou Ying endured it, saluted Gu Qingyun, and walked to her bedroom .

Not far away, I heard the voices of the three members of the Gu family behind me. Zhou Ying didn't care about what they said, she just wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest quickly. What happened early this morning had a great impact on her. She reached out to touch her purse, wanting to see how much the goods were delivered this time. She didn't know when the money would come back from her brother's side, so she had to pay back the money first.

Unexpectedly, after touching it, he found that the purse was gone. Zhou Ying thought about it, but she never stopped along the way, and she even touched it once before entering the mansion. The only thing that could be lost is the place where Gu Qingyun stopped him from speaking just now.

She hurriedly turned her head to look for it, and Gu Qingyun was annoyed when she saw her: "What are you doing back here? You just want to make it uncomfortable for others, don't you?" "No. I, I just came here to look for things, my

money The bag was dropped." Zhou Ying hurriedly explained.

"Didn't you say that our Gu family owes you food and drink, and you have to go to the cashier to pay for a penny. Where did you get the spare money?" Gu Qingyun mocked.

When Gu's mother saw Zhou Ying, she took her hand and said, "Mother has always known that you are a good boy. If you take it, just say so. It's all a family, and they quarreled like this for such a small amount of money. Let the servants see you." Not good."

"Mother—" Zhou Ying couldn't believe why her mother-in-law, who always loved her, would think of herself like this, "I didn't take the money, I didn't take the money." "Mother, don't talk nonsense to her

, If she can listen well, she won't do that." Gu Qingyun said coldly.

Zhou Ying couldn't believe it: "Just for fifty taels of silver, how can you mobilize people like this? Husband doesn't believe me, don't you, father and mother, don't you believe me?" Zhou Ying looked at Gu Yuanwai and his wife with hope, hoping to get some good news from them

. support. However, Gu Yuanwai and his wife didn't say anything, their expressions already showed their attitude.

Zhou Ying let go of Gu's mother's hand in disappointment: "Since you all believe that I took it, does it matter what I say? Does the opinion of the servants matter? I just gave money to my brother once, and I also promised Still, why do you have to guard me like a thief every day. I really don't know what unforgivable crime is at this time!" "

Slap——" A slap fell on Zhou Ying's face, which made Zhou Ying stunned immediately .

"You... you hit me?" Zhou Ying covered her face and looked at Gu Qingyun in disbelief.

"It's fine for you to make trouble in front of me. My parents treat you like a daughter, how can you slander me? If my father hadn't insisted, I'm afraid your Zhou family will be ridiculed, and our engagement would have broken up long ago!" Gu Qingyun's expression is so determined.

Zhou Ying covered her face and cried, and it took a long time before she said sadly: "Since you look down on my natal family's decline, why bother to fulfill the marriage contract with the outside world's rhetoric? If your husband despises it, I will leave."

"What do you mean? Why, do you want to say that our Gu family fulfilled the marriage contract just to earn a good reputation in front of the world? Could it be that you think our family has gained some benefits by marrying you, a poor and settled family? That ruined reputation can't stand up to you." Food? Or can it hold silver flowers?" Gu Qingyun slapped Zhou Ying twice as he spoke, causing Zhou Ying to fall to the ground

. Shocked: "Yun'er, you are crazy. How can you beat Yingzi like this, that's your wife!"

Gu Qingyun said: "Mom, who told her to be disrespectful to you and daddy."

Gu's mother said: "She didn't say anything Why are you making such a big move?"

Gu's father also said: "Yun'er, a man, how can he do anything to women and children."

Zhou Ying fell to the ground and cried for a long time, seeing that Gu Qingyun didn't have the slightest bit of compassion and remorse, she slowly got up Said: "I'm the one who hindered your young master Gu's reputation, I'll go!" "

These two children, why are they making trouble like this. Yun'er, hurry up and chase after him!" Mother Gu said anxiously seeing Zhou Yingzhen leave. Member Gu wanted to ask his servants to block Zhou Ying's way, but was stopped by Gu's mother, "Do you want the servants to see a joke?" Gu Qingyun didn't mean to stop him at all

, he walked two steps quickly to the gate, and yelled at the door: " Let her go, let her die outside!"
