Chapter 707: Chapter 701: Carry Her Away

"Why?" The little girl was very puzzled.

Gu Youyou had to explain to her, "Your second brother originally intended to drive her out of your house, but if she were to die now in the Jie Family, she would still be a Jie Family woman, of the Jie people. Your second brother’s intention is that if she is to die, she must die outside, so as not to tarnish the Jie Family’s reputation."

Xie Qinyun suddenly realized and said, "That’s right, that makes sense. We shouldn’t let this wretched woman die in our house. If she must die, she should die on the main street."

In the midst of the conversation, they saw Miss Du from the Du Family arrive with several servants, and the second son of the Jie Family by her side.

"Thank you, Doctor Gu," said Miss Du to Gu Youyou with gratitude.

Gu Youyou noticed that she was holding a deed in her hand.

Miss Du explained, "This is the deed from the Jie Family expelling Du Wanqing from their household. With this deed, from today onwards, Du Wanqing will no longer be of the Jie Family. She returns to her maternal family and becomes a member of the Du Family."

A concubine driven out of her husband’s family doesn’t even have the right to take a divorce deed. Originally, no such proof was needed, but to give Miss Du an explanation, the second son of the Jie Family wrote this deed especially for her.

Gu Youyou nodded and said, "Then have someone carry her away."

Xie Qinyun loudly said beside them, "Just as well, take that plank from the large communal bed too; otherwise, it can only be burned."

Miss Du nodded, then instructed her people to carry away Concubine Du.

Gu Youyou and Miss Du stepped aside, and she briefed Miss Du on the condition of Concubine Du.

"For dressing the wound and regular check-ups, any ordinary doctor will do. There are many doctors in Jinxiu City; it shouldn’t be a problem. However, even if she survives, she will often be in agony, barely able to live with the pain. Her injuries are not easily healed, and her right arm is useless now."

Miss Du indifferently said, "For her, it truly is a fate worse than death."

"Is this what you would call retribution?" Gu Youyou said with a smile.

"You believe in retribution, too?" asked Miss Du, surprised.

Gu Youyou twisted her mouth slightly and changed the topic, "By the way, I was planning to look for you in Jinxiu City today; I didn’t expect such an incident to occur."

Miss Du guessed the reason Gu Youyou had for seeing her and said, "Is it about those clothes?"

"Yes!" Gu Youyou smiled and said, "Yesterday I wore that outfit into the palace. Your Jinxiu Building might be expecting some distinguished guests soon."

Miss Du was stunned, and after a moment she said with a wry smile, "You really are... Doing business with the noble ladies brings in money, but it’s not easy at all..."

Gu Youyou appeared somewhat unconcerned and laughed, lowering her voice, "Business that brings in money is never easy, or else everyone would be making money. Miss Du, the brave may fall but never yield, and the timid starve without trial. Manxiu Building’s embroidery is precious; if we do it, we do it high-end. I’ll provide five to ten design drafts each season, and you’ll be responsible for making them. We’ll hang the sign of Manxiu Building."

Miss Du silently said, "We only do embroidery and don’t make clothes."

Gu Youyou nodded and said, "I understand you don’t make finished garments, but it’s not wise to always stick to old ways. You could try making the clothes as well. Hang the sign of Manxiu Building, I’ll handle the tailoring, and you be the boss of the storefront. We’ll split the profits fifty-fifty, how about it?"

Miss Du enlightened, asked, "So Doctor Gu does business as well? Is it for the sake of making money?" She asked in surprise, "Doesn’t Jisheng Hall make enough?"

Gu Youyou curled her lip and said, "Who would find silver too abundant? Naturally, the more the better. You’ve seen my situation; although I live in the Lin Residence, at best I’m only considered a relative of the Lins. If I don’t gather more silver, how will I live out the rest of my life?"
