Chapter 571: Chapter 571: Republic of China Gentlewoman Divorced Wife VS Amorous Actor (Part 25)

Gu Shengyin laughed: “Mom, rest assured, your daughter is now a big boss, such a small amount of money is nothing.”

Lady Zhao couldn’t believe it: “What big boss, you’re just a young girl…”

Gu Shengyin interrupted her: “Tomorrow I’ll take you to buy clothes, then you’ll know.”

Lady Zhao wanted to say something else, but Gu Shengyin quickly said: “Ah, I was so busy today, I’m really tired~”

Lady Zhao quickly said: “Then you should rest well.”

Gu Shengyin chuckled secretly and quickly said: “Mom, you should also rest early.”

Lady Zhao tossed and turned in bed for half the night and couldn’t fall asleep; she still had a surreal feeling inside. Had she really just left the Yan Family? And come to such an unfamiliar place?

For the first time, she didn’t have to serve anyone by washing their feet or bringing tea in the evening, nor did she have to sleep in her clothes, afraid that Old Master Yan might want something to drink at night or need to get up.

She got up very early in the morning out of habit, and only when she saw the surrounding environment did Lady Zhao remember that she didn’t have to do anything.

So she simply got out of bed.

Mother Lin was busy preparing breakfast and smiled when she saw her: “Madam, are you awake? You can go walk around in the yard first, breakfast will be ready soon.”

She used to call it the morning meal; breakfast was a new word she had learned recently.

Lady Zhao took a walk in the yard. Gu Shengyin had bought several pots of flowers and placed them here; they were blooming nicely now. There were birds chirping in the treetops, and outside the yard, one could hear the footsteps of passersby and the occasional cries of vendors hawking their wares.

This was a place brimming with the freshness of life.

When she entered the house, Gu Shengyin had already gotten up.

For breakfast, there was millet porridge, and Mother Lin had steamed two baskets of buns with both vegetarian and meat fillings; there were also some homemade pickles on a small plate and a dish of pastries.

The fare was simple, yet Lady Zhao ate with great satisfaction.

She didn’t have to serve another person first, watching them eat happily before she could sit down to her half-cold food.

After dinner, Gu Shengyin took Lady Zhao to buy clothes.

“I have…”

But Gu Shengyin pressed her hand: “Mother, didn’t you see on the street what everyone was wearing? No one even among the old ladies wears what you’re wearing anymore.”

Lady Zhao smiled in resignation: “Aren’t I just an old lady?”

Gu Shengyin took her hand: “How old are you, you’re still very young.”

Unable to resist her daughter, and indeed tempted by the clothes she’d seen other women wearing before, Lady Zhao let Gu Shengyin take her out.

Gu Shengyin took Lady Zhao directly to the largest clothing store in White Cloud Cloth Store.

“Miss Yan!” The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic when he saw Gu Shengyin.

Shen Yuanhang and Madam Shen had once personally brought Gu Shengyin here, and they had said that Miss Yan was a VIP of White Cloud Cloth Store, and she could take whatever she liked directly.

Gu Shengyin said to Lady Zhao: “I’m taking my mother to look at clothes, you go about your business.”

There were quite a few other customers in the store, all browsing for clothes.

Lady Zhao had no idea how to choose and looked helplessly at her daughter.

Gu Shengyin’s eyes carefully scanned the racks, and she casually took down two dresses.

One was light blue, the other was light purple.

Lady Zhao’s skin was very pale; these colors were just right for her.

There was a special place in the store for trying on clothes, but Gu Sheng hadn’t seen Lady Zhao come out for a long time.

She felt something was wrong and went in, calling out softly.

After a while, she heard Lady Zhao’s somewhat embarrassed voice: “How am I supposed to go out in this kind of dress?”
