Mrs. Gu found a corner of the room closer to the sound, hid with her maid and began to eavesdrop.

"Miss, the old lady is really kind to you." Xiaoyu said beside her.

Xiao Ziran smiled gratifiedly, "Grandmother really treated me well. I thought that the Xiao family's property was gone, but I didn't expect grandma to give it all to me. Not only that, I'm not proficient in business, grandma They also posted me an extra sum of money to let me learn from scratch."

"Really? Miss, the Xiao family's business will definitely get better and better after that." Xiao Yu also became happy, "Miss, don't you have a lot of money?"

Facing Xiaoyu's innocence, Xiao Ziran told her softly how much the Xiao's shops were worth.It wasn't just Xiaoyu who opened his mouth in astonishment, but also the two people outside the room.

Mrs. Gu was extremely upset in her heart. She knew that the Xiao family had a family background, but she never thought that these shops and property would be worth so much money.

The servant girl stood beside her silently, not daring to move.

"This old man actually returned the property of the Xiao family to this girl Xiao Ziran behind the backs of everyone in our Gu family. Hmph, on the surface he pretended to be fair and just, but in fact he favored that girl. It's really superficial. The showman behind the scenes!" Mrs. Gu was a little agitated, she tried her best to restrain the anger in her heart, and complained in a low voice.

Xiao Ziran continued to chat with Xiaoyu about the shop, and Mrs. Gu who was outside the door felt greedy when she heard so much money.So I decided to go in and find out.

"Sister Ran." Mrs. Gu walked into the door.

"Ah, auntie, why are you here?" Xiao Ziran stood up in a panic, and seeing her like this only added to her credibility in the heart of the eldest lady.

"Sister Ran, sit down and sit down. Ouch, you haven't recovered from your illness, so don't get up to greet me." Mrs. Gu immediately stepped forward and stretched out her hands to help her.

"My health is better, so don't worry, Auntie." Xiao Ziran nodded.

"I heard about your second-class charcoal poisoning. I was very worried, so I came to take a look. I was afraid that you would not have enough energy to meet customers, but now you have been recuperating for a while, so I brought you some tonics." Gu Da Madam asked the servant girl to give everything to Xiaoyu.

"Thank you, aunt." Xiao Ziran saluted.

Mrs. Gu took the two blankets from the maid again, and said to Xiao Ziran with a smile: "Sister Ran, this is a blanket that a friend of mine gave me. It was brought from abroad, but It’s comfortable. Thinking that it’s going to be winter soon, and your body is weak, so I brought it to you.”

"Auntie, I absolutely can't take this. It's too precious, so you can keep it for yourself." Xiao Ziran declined, because it was obviously a weasel giving a chicken a New Year greeting.

"You're welcome, take it." Mrs. Gu stuffed the blanket into Xiao Ziran's hands, then sat down unceremoniously around her, and poured a cup of tea by herself.

Xiao Ziran smiled contemptuously, and then sat down.

"Sister Ran, you are weak, don't be busy with the business of the shop these days, and take more rest." Mrs. Gu wanted to change the topic to the shop.

"Auntie, you don't know. Although I'm busy, I'm just looking at the account books, checking the accounts and so on. In fact, the things in the shop are also managed by people sent by my grandmother, and I can't get involved. .” Xiao Ziran showed a trace of helplessness.

Mrs. Gu listened, thoughtful, doubtful.

Xiao Ziran immediately sensed Mrs. Gu's suspicion, "I am a girl who has not left the court, and I don't like to manage the business of the shop. Besides, as my aunt said, I am weak, and it would be hard to run the shop everywhere." No. Although the doctor found out that it was this kind of charcoal poisoning this time, I know it has nothing to do with it, it’s just that I’m weak.”

Xiao Ziran said this because he wanted to indirectly tell Mrs. Gu that she was no longer to blame for his poisoning, and deliberately set up a relationship with her so that she would believe what he said.

Mrs. Gu took a sip of tea, and a big stone fell from her heart.

"That's right, it's better for us women not to meddle in things like this shop, business, etc. I don't understand anything, it's all done by your uncle, and I will take care of the trivial matters at home." Mrs. Gu Hastily picked himself out.

"Auntie is right." Xiao Ziran was very flattering.

"Sister Ran, don't be offended. Mother just likes to take care of things, but she doesn't have any malicious intentions." Mrs. Gu intends to test Xiao Ziran's attitude towards Mrs. Gu.

"Auntie, grandma is the head of the family. I can't say anything and can't intervene in those shops instead of me. But it may not be bad, let's take a step at a time." Xiao Ziran's words made Mrs. Gu Be completely at ease.

This sentence kills three birds with one stone. First, it unintentionally reveals that it is Mrs. Gu who can make the decision in the Gu family, and it provokes Mrs. Gu to fight with Mrs. Gu.The second is to express his helplessness about Mrs. Gu's meddling in the shop.The third is to let Mrs. Gu confirm that Mrs. Gu is not completely biased towards the heroine, and I feel lucky.

"Sister Ran, anyway, if you have anything to do in the future, you can talk to your aunt. I will do my best to help you." Mrs. Gu also got close to Xiao Ziran, but Xiao Ziran only thought it was ridiculous.

"Thank you, aunt. Since my aunt is from my own family, I don't want to say it directly. Those shops in my hand are actually managed by the son of Madam Gu, named Gu Wang. I rarely have contact with this person " Xiao Ziran deliberately reminded Mrs. Gu that now the old lady sent her cronies to take care of things.

Mrs. Gu felt happy, she didn't expect to get useful information so easily.

"I've bothered Sister Ran for too long today, if I don't leave, I'll be thick-skinned." Mrs. Gu smiled, and made a gesture to leave.

"Auntie was joking." Xiao Ziran stood up politely, "I'll see Auntie off."

"No, don't go out, it's very windy outside, you'll catch cold easily." Mrs. Gu said politely.

"Then sister Ran will obey her aunt and not go out." Xiao Ziran came just in time.

After the two shook hands and said goodbye, a false meeting ended.

Mrs. Gu, who came out of Xiyuan, smiled contemptuously, and said to herself: "It would be great if these coins fell into my hands. Hmph, it's all because of this stupid old woman." Her heart was full of money. Is not reconciled.

Xiyuan.

"Miss, you knew that the eldest lady was outside the door just now, why did you want me to continue talking? What if..." Xiaoyu was very puzzled.

"I have a sense of propriety. Since the words have already been spoken, they must be intended for her to know." Xiao Ziran smiled triumphantly.

She had already noticed Mrs. Gu's voice in the corner, but she didn't tell the truth, she just used her tricks, and pretended not to notice Mrs. Gu's thoughts, and put on a good show.
