Chapter 728
728 Thank you, Madam, for teaching your son
Gu Xin was elated that they had closed a business deal.
After they left the teahouse, they wanted to go shopping with Lu Zheng and Gu Hui.
Du RUO was about to say something to stop them from shopping, but Lu Zheng’s gaze stopped her.
Gu Xin did not see it, but Gu Hui did.
Gu Hui was curious again. Was ah Yuan not allowed to walk around in Yuzhou Prefecture?
Yuzhou Prefecture was close to Qingzhou Prefecture. Although the accents were different, they could still roughly understand the local dialect.
Gu Xin, who was shopping, had returned to her innocent and naive appearance. She was no longer the little adult who had no stage fright when talking business with the prefect’s wife.
……
In the backyard of the Yuzhou government office.
Xie Nanfeng was grounded in his own courtyard.
Madam Xie came over with her personal maidservant and called everyone out.
Xie Nanfeng had just finished applying the medicine when Mrs. Xie entered and frowned. “Did you offend them? Did he touch a girl he knows?”
Xie Nanfeng pouted. mother, she’s just a servant in their family. She betrayed her master. She has a fiancé, but she still wants to climb up the social ladder. You know me, I like women, but I will never force them.”
“So you were hit by her fiancé?” Mrs. Xie asked as she sat down.
Xie Nanfeng nodded his head in humiliation. That big guy was really heavy-handed, and he didn’t find the right woman, so what was he going to do?
Madam Xie looked at Xie Nanfeng with disappointment. “Other than sleeping with the Gu family’s fiancé’s servant, what else have you done?”
Xie Nanfeng pursed his lips and didn’t dare to say anything.
Mrs. Xie’s eyes narrowed,”are you going to tell me or not?” If you don’t tell me, I’ll have your father grounded here!”
“Mother, I, I got the recipe for soap and toothpaste from that servant,” Xie Nanfeng said anxiously. Mother, don’t make father ground me, okay? This can be considered as a contribution. I want our family to earn more money, so that you can have more confidence when facing father!”
Madam Xie stepped forward and slapped Xie Nanfeng. “What did I tell you when you went to Qing Province? I asked you to go and talk business, not to steal the formula! Why are you so disappointing!”
After speaking, Mrs. Xie slapped Xie Nanfeng again.
Xie Nanfeng covered his face, feeling a little wronged.
Mrs. Xie couldn’t bear to see her son being a Playboy, but she couldn’t let him do such a disgraceful thing.
She couldn’t control the Xie family’s men who took in concubines, but she had to control their behavior.”Do you think that your father is a magistrate and that people from small places can’t do anything to you? see, even people from small places dare to beat you, so they must have a backer. I’ve reminded you before, don’t judge a person by their appearance, and don’t go against your conscience. Why did you turn a deaf ear to my words?”
Xie Nanfeng was so angry that he roared,”I did it for you!” Didn’t aunt Huang rely on her family’s wealth? Mother, if you have that prescription and have money in the future, won’t father look at you in a higher light?”
Madam Xie slapped Xie Nanfeng again. “If you work hard, that’ll be my greatest confidence! Are you trying to anger me to death? Are you trying to anger me to death! A Grand Minister’s grandson, you are competing with a yiniang, what have you learned?”
“You shallow-eyed thing! Your sister and I will be relying on you in the future! Silver, what’s the use of all your silver? Once Xie Chunfeng goes to high school next year, in your father’s eyes, the three of us will be nothing. No matter how much money we have, it will be useless! In your grandfather’s eyes, there would not be you, Xie Nanfeng, but only Xie Chunfeng! At that time, your father, aunt Huang, and mother will rise because of their son. You’re driving me to my grave, are you going to move her position?”
