'Skinny horse' was an insulting term for women. It meant that they could do whatever they wanted to women, just like how a slave would abuse a weak horse.
Why was it called 'skinny horse'?
Because the middlemen and middlemen who engaged in 'skinny horse breeding' would buy young girls from poor families at a low price, raise them, and sell them at a high price. It was the same as how merchants bought skinny horses at a low price, fattened them up, and sold them at a high price. Hence, people called these women 'skinny horses'.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, 'skinny horse breeding' became a lucrative investment, and a large number of people specialized in this profession.
They would first invest money to buy beautiful girls from poor families and train them. They would teach them singing and dancing, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. After they grew up, they would sell them to the rich as concubines or enter brothels to make money. Because most poor girls were thin and weak, the name 'skinny horse' came about. When they first bought a girl, it only cost them a dozen strings of coins. When they got married, they could earn up to one thousand five hundred taels of silver. When the common people saw that there was profit to be made, they would compete to follow suit, and this became the norm. During the Ming Dynasty, Yangzhou's salt merchants monopolized the salt transportation industry in the country, and they were rich. Hence, at that time, skinny horse breeding was the most popular trend in Yangzhou.
And Ye Yuqin clearly saw the white horse as a skinny horse!
Ye Yuqin did not understand the term 'skinny horse', but she could clearly see that Gu Chengze's expression had turned cold.
"I don't care what you're talking about. I'm just asking, are you getting a divorce or not?"
"Divorce?"
Gu Chengze smiled. "The Gu family has a tradition. Once you marry into the Gu family, there is no such thing as a divorce. Even if there is, it has nothing to do with other people. Unless Jin 'er wants to divorce me, there is no such thing as a divorce! "
"You!"
Ye Yuqin was so agitated that she stood up from the sofa. She pointed at Gu Chengze and said, "Must you make the situation so ugly?!"
"Make a scene?"
Gu Chengze raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "May I ask, how do you want to make a scene?"
Ye Yuqin could not hold back anymore. She turned around and said arrogantly to Gu Chengze, "A 'chao, I'll leave it to you!"
The burly man stood up and relaxed his shoulders. He tilted his head, and his neck made cracking sounds. His sharp gaze was clearly provocative.
Gu Chengze caressed the Ten Thousand Countries Watch on his wrist and said casually, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Before you offend someone, you should consider if you have the ability to do so!"
Ye Yuqin snorted coldly. She pointed at Gu Chengze and said to A 'chao, "What are you still standing there for?!"
A 'chao walked towards him.
Gu Chengze was still sitting on the chair nonchalantly. Seeing that he still did not seem to care, Chao guessed that Gu Chengze would not give up until he saw the coffin, so he raised his leg abruptly and was about to kick him.
Seeing that his foot was about to land on Gu Chengze's face, the bodyguard beside him suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's calf with one hand.
A 'chao was completely caught off guard. He flew out and fell on the coffee table at his waist. He was in so much pain that he grimaced.
Ye Yuqin shrunk her shoulders in fear and hid in the corner.
Gu Chengze did not move at all. He did not even bother to lift his eyelids. He looked up and glanced at the man who had fallen onto the coffee table. The corners of his lips curled up indifferently.
"Throw him out."
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
Ye Yuqin was stunned when she heard how the bodyguard addressed Gu Chengze.
Mr. Gu?
Why did this man call him "Mr. Gu"?
