“Sister Bai, how many words have you learned recently? You have to hurry up and learn more. Otherwise, if you can’t read even an article, how can you help Lord Gu manage his residence?”
Mrs. Bai looked at her ‘friend’ and was furious. Wasn’t she just mocking her for not being worthy of her husband?
However, she recalled what her husband had said before and smiled. “There’s no rush. Chengsi is teaching me personally. He said he would also spare 25 minutes daily to teach me.”
“Also, accounting is not a small matter. You have to learn it as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can you manage the food in the residence?”
“Indeed. Chengsi said that he would definitely teach me within half a month. It won’t delay anything. Don’t worry.”
“That’s good. Oh, right, you have to learn royal etiquette quickly. You’ll use it when you socialize in the future.”
“Don’t worry. Chengsi said that he would teach me slowly in the future.”
No matter what her ‘friends’ said next, Mrs. Bai replied to them with a smile and said Gu Chengsi would teach her.
The women around her were envious, jealous, and hateful.
However, there was nothing they could do. They couldn’t possibly sow discord between them, right?
At the same time, they also realized that she was no longer feeling inferior or impatient. Instead, she looked happy and trusted, annoying them.
Mrs. Bai looked at them, and her nervous heart finally settled down.
When they were distracted, she left with the excuse of entertaining guests.
Just as she got up, she met Mrs. Yang’s gaze. She stepped forward and asked, “Sister-in-law Chengzhi, did you see what happened just now?”
“Yeah, you handled it well.” Mrs. Yang smiled.
“If it were you, how would you deal with it? To be honest, they have belittled me so many times. I’m really sick of them.”
“You did very well just now. The more they say that, the more you talk about how sweet you and your husband are, what he gave you, what he did for you, and so on.
“Once they get annoyed, you can find all kinds of excuses to slip away. If you really can’t, just ignore them.
“In short, don’t panic. Once you panic, they will succeed.
“I’m afraid this kind of thing will happen more in the future. You have to practice the ability to hide your emotions.”
“It sounds so difficult.”
“So, don’t look at those madams and young ladies who seemed all glamorous.
“However, practice makes perfect. You’ll get used to it after a long time.”
At the same time, several people approached Mrs. Fang, Gu Ziyi, Sixth Aunt Gu, and even Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao to inquire about Gu Chengsi’s marriage.
Mrs. Fang and Gu Ziyi directly refused to interfere.
Mrs. Liu and the other three did not want to care. Instead, Mrs. Yao picked and chose, wishing to set up a marriage for Gu Chengxi.
Of course, she was not interested in the lowest-ranked ones, and the highest-ranked ones were not interested in Gu Chengxi’s status as a concubine, so they could not conclude in the end.
During this time, Mrs. Bai’s in-laws also heard the news that someone wanted to stuff women into her son-in-law’s house. They immediately went forward and argued, almost causing a ruckus.
After sending all the guests away, everyone was tired.
After Gu Chengsi finished his work, he saw Mrs. Bai walking over with a long face. “What’s wrong? Did someone say something to you again?”
“No, but there are quite a number of people asking about you today. There are at least eight families.”
“More than that. I think there are more than twenty of them. Fortunately, we all rejected them.
“Be careful when you speak and act outside in the future. Don’t let anyone catch you.” Mrs. Wang walked over and said..
