The three of them chatted for a while before dispersing. If the young lady saw them gossiping about her, they'd be in trouble, especially Xiao Yuling. She was most afraid Gu Qingli wouldn't let her dote on her precious grandchild.
「That day,」 Xiao Yunjing returned from Qiyang County. He mysteriously took a note out of his sleeve and handed it to Gu Qingli with a servile attitude.
Gu Qingli glanced at him, wondering what bad news it was this time. She didn't even want to take it.
"Li'er, just take a look." Xiao Yunjing motioned with his mouth.
"You want to swindle me again?" Gu Qingli asked with a straight face. This guy! If he goes three days without swindling me, he just doesn't feel right.
"No, never! Just look, Li'er." Xiao Yunjing thought to himself, Damn it, in my wife's eyes, I'm probably nothing but a swindler. I did swindle her out of a lot of silver, but haven't I just swindled—no, earned—it back from somewhere else?
