Bab 777: Chapter 775

Mrs. Gu returned to the Mansion and hurried to the small Buddhist temple. She looked around, wondering if she could sneak in and take something to pawn.

Otherwise, where was she going to find 1,000 taels of silver?

Upon hearing that Mrs. Gu had returned, Du Zhongkai came back to the main courtyard. Not finding her there, he asked the maid about her whereabouts. The maid hesitated in her response, causing Du Zhongkai to suspect that Mrs. Gu might have gone to the warehouse.

It had always been like this before, it was practically second nature!

Du Zhongkai went over and found Mrs. Gu trying to pry open the window of the small Buddhist temple. Annoyed, he scolded, "Mrs. Gu, what are you doing?"

Startled by Du Zhongkai's voice, Mrs. Gu dropped the tool she was using, which landed on her foot. The pain made her squat down, holding her foot, tears filled her eyes, "Master, why are you shouting so loud! Don't you know that scaring people can cause them to die of fright?"
