Chapter 183 Becoming the Master
Gu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, looking extremely shocked.
However, the story ends here.
Chao Yunxuan didn't even touch a piece of Mangzhong's sleeves, but just an inch away from her, she was like encountering an invisible wall. What's worse is that the seemingly transparent barrier seemed to contain infinite elasticity.
Then, Chao Yunxuan was catapulted out with a bang like a kite with a broken string, flew more than ten meters away, and fell straight out of the courtyard.
Gu Zhiyi looked at the thin figure standing in front of her in surprise, and didn't care at all about Chao Yunxuan's experience.
Mangzhong stared at Chao Yunxuan's miserable appearance in amazement, and soon felt his legs go weak.
Seeing that the little girl was shaking but still holding on and refused to fall, Gu Zhiyi felt a complex emotion in her heart. She just patted her shoulder and said gently, "Silly girl, why are you doing this?"
Mangzhong looked back and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying: "As long as my wife is fine, I will be at ease."
Gu Zhiyi lowered her eyes slightly, suppressing the emotions in her eyes: "Don't worry, she can't hurt me."
When Xie Xun hurried over, what he saw was Chao Yunxuan lying powerlessly on the ground, while Gu Zhiyi was talking shamelessly beside her.
His eyes widened, and he was furious: "Gu Zhiyi, how presumptuous you are!"
At this moment, Chao Yunxuan struggled to get up. She shouted coldly, "Shameless fellow, what else can you do besides playing tricks? If you have the guts, remove the defensive formation and confront me head-on!"
In her rage, Chao Yunxuan's voice was extremely sharp, completely drowning out Xie Xun's scolding.
She did not hear what Xie Xun said, but instead scolded Gu Zhiyi loudly: "Since you dare to seduce a man, you shouldn't hide in the formation like a turtle!"
Xie Xun's words were stuck in his throat, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
He originally thought that Chao Yunxuan was summoned by Gu Zhiyi, but after witnessing Gu Zhiyi's powerful strength, he was afraid that Chao Yunxuan would suffer a great loss.
In fact, Chao Yunxuan did suffer a loss.
However, this was not the kind of loss of being suppressed as he had imagined, but the loss of being punished instead of challenging.
There was silence all around, as if time had stood still.
Xie Xun looked up and happened to catch Gu Zhiyi's disdainful look.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Gu Zhiyi had already turned around and the gate slammed shut behind her.
The strong wind brought by the two doors closing was like a heavy slap in the face.
"Gu Zhiyi, are you feeling guilty? Open the door for me!"
Chao Yunxuan didn't notice the person behind her. She endured the pain like a knife cutting her body and continued to challenge loudly.
However, for fear of triggering the terrifying defensive formation again, she did not dare to get any closer.
Xie Xun looked at the woman who was like a crazy shrew and couldn't help feeling a little bitter in his heart.
Gu Zhiyi ignored the noise from the outside world, nor did she bother to care about how Xie Xun persuaded Chao Yunxuan to leave. She just felt that this woman's repeated provocations made her extremely annoyed.
She wanted to keep her distance from the other party, but it was obvious that the other party did not appreciate it.
In that case, let her reflect on herself for a few days.
The backlash of the formation this time was not as mild as the previous times.
"Mangzhong, go tell Aunt Wen that I'm in urgent need of manpower here, and ask her to train Gu Zhiping as soon as possible. I'm waiting for someone to help me."
Mangzhong took the order and left.
Gu Zhiyi did not intend to teach Chao Yunxuan a lesson personally, but she also did not want her to harass her every day, so... she planned to find something for her to do.
When Nanny Wen received Mangzhong's message, although she had some doubts in her heart, she still started the strict training of Gu Zhiping as soon as possible.
Madam has already said that she wants to train Gu Zhiping to become a qualified housekeeper.
However, Gu Zhiping's ability is really worrying.
Not to mention other things, the fact that she is illiterate has already cut off her possibility of becoming a housekeeper.
As the mistress's close aides, who wouldn't be an expert at welcoming and seeing off guests? They also needed to be proficient in accounting. Even if they couldn't do mental arithmetic like a god, they at least had to be able to see through everything and record accurately.
For an illiterate person, this is obviously unattainable.
So, she specially invited a teacher with rich experience to teach Gu Zhiping how to read and write.
Gu Zhiping was already a sixteen-year-old girl with a basically fixed personality. She had always had little interest in learning, and it was even more difficult for her to devote herself to studying at this time.
After only three days of study, she couldn't even recognize a few words, let alone write them.
This made the female teacher so angry that she punished her and slapped her on the palm eight times in three days.
At night, Gu Zhiping stared at her red and swollen palms, feeling the burning pain, with a flash of unyielding and resentful eyes: "This vicious woman clearly wants to make my life difficult! She said she wanted me to learn how to be a housekeeper, it's obvious that she is deliberately making things difficult for me!"
She had been jealous of Gu Zhiyi for a long time. On the one hand, it was because Gu Zhiyi was not the real daughter of the Gu family. On the other hand, it was because she felt that fate was unfair: they all came from ordinary backgrounds, so why could Gu Zhiyi become the daughter of the Gu family overnight and enjoy endless wealth and glory, while she could only become a servant?
If she could become the master...
There was a gleam in her eyes.
Yes, if she could become the master, she wouldn't have to do these trivial things anymore, and she wouldn't have to condescend to serve others.
Although with her current status she can only be a concubine, but!
That fake, unworthy creature was so useless that even a peasant woman could do whatever she wanted to her.
She had already witnessed all kinds of intrigues in the rear quarters, so it was easy for her to defeat a useless imposter and an ignorant peasant woman.
It just so happened that she had nothing to do now except reading and writing, so she had plenty of opportunities to "accidentally meet" the young master in the mansion!
Gu Zhiyi could see through Gu Zhiping's intentions without sending anyone special to monitor her, and her heart was full of anticipation.
Chao Yunxuan needs to stay in bed for at least ten days, and this is a great opportunity for her.
She secretly hoped that this girl would not let her down.
Just as she was deep in thought, an excited voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Miss, Miss!"
Luoluo was out for two days, and on the third day she came to Jinghong Garden with great excitement.
Gu Zhiyi could tell from her excited expression that she had completed the task quite well, but she still asked, "How was it?"
"Under your wisdom, those shopkeepers have now become extremely obedient!"
The Ningguo Mansion's businesses spread across Shengjing and several neighboring counties, with a total of more than 20 shops.
When the shopkeepers saw that the visitor was just a little maid, they didn't take her seriously at all.
Even if Madam Gu Zhiyi came in person, they would not show much respect. At most, they would be polite on the surface, but in fact, they might be full of contempt deep in their hearts.
Luoluo has followed Gu Zhiyi for many years and is accustomed to all kinds of contemptuous attitudes. She did not say anything more and directly showed the trump card in her hand.
As she revealed things one by one, she even found the real account book in the outer room of the gold shop owner, forcing the gold shop owner into a desperate situation. The other shop owners were suddenly panicked and no longer able to resist.
As a result, the subsequent work progressed very smoothly.
