Countryside Romance

"I'm brave? I don't have as much guts as you. You, Madam Gu, would even dare to harm someone's life in broad daylight. I've never dared to do such a thing. Which ordinary person would do this to you? Your position as the Gu Estate's matriarch is truly hard to believe. Could it be that you used that kind of method to finally climb to the position of the matriarch with great difficulty? "

As Madam Gu listened to her story, she became more and more outrageous. She commanded the servants to throw Yan Wu out of the hospital.

Yan Wu shook his sleeve, blocking the hands of those people, and said:

"Don't drive me away. It's obviously because of your shameful thoughts, and you don't want others to talk about it, hmph. "

Just as Yan Wu was about to turn around and leave, he saw Gu Ling Bo's attendant rushing over.

He saw Yan Wu and Madam Gu's standoff, so he waved his hand to disperse the servants. He said to Madam Gu:

"Master has ordered me to do a big business today. It's not easy to mess around in the courtyard. No matter what happened today, let's disperse."

After the servant said this, he ignored his wife's pale face and turned to leave.

At this moment, Yan Wu didn't want to leave. She stood at the entrance of the yard and wanted to see the ugly expression on Madam Gu's face. She was waiting for her to let go of all those servants.

Madam Gu didn't want Yan Wu to be complacent, but had no choice but to obey Gu Shenwei's orders.

After she let him go, she gave Smoke a fierce glare, leaned close to her, and said:

"Don't be complacent. Most of what I did was to signal to my lord, who knew what I had done. Even if you are spouting nonsense below, as long as the old master does not deny my status, the old master will not bother with you if you speak ill of me. You, are just a clown. "

Looking at Yan Wu's expression, Madam Gu gradually turned ugly from what she had said. She felt at ease in her heart and smiled as she turned around to enter the courtyard.

On the surface, Yan Wu looked very sad, but in her heart, she didn't care about what Lady Gu said.

Previously, she had discussed with Madam Yuan how to deal with Madam Gu and had already gathered a lot of evidence. She wanted to make use of this matter to publicize all the dirty things that Madam Gu had done in the past. Even if the Old Master wanted to protect her, Madam Gu's status in the estate would inevitably drop.

She had read a few books about how many concubines did not care about the position of the matriarch. As long as the old master doted on her, even the matriarch would have to show some respect to her. Yan Wu valued the position of the matriarch very much, but she thought that it wasn't necessary. The matriarch had so many things to deal with, she didn't care at all.

She just enjoyed the glory of that name.

However, if this plan succeeded in getting Madam Gu to descend from that position, she didn't mind taking that position into her pocket.

Yan Wu could not help but laugh as he imagined the good days to come.

She looked left and right, but no one seemed to notice. She raised her head high and left Madam Gu's courtyard with great vigor.

After this day, Madam Gu suddenly found her life in the Residence to be even more difficult.

The servants had disobeyed her words. She felt that something was amiss, so she sent Ru Yi to the servants to inquire about the matter.

It didn't take long for Ru Yi to bring him bad news.

It turned out that the mansion had started to spread rumors about the evil deeds that Madam Gu had done. Not only were they harmful to the womb, they had even bullied the elders of the manor by beating and scolding children. What was even more arrogant was that she had drugged someone and poisoned their former beloved concubine.

With these rumors, the servants in the mansion were all panic-stricken. They were afraid that Lady Gu would be next to deal with them.

When Madam Gu heard this news, her head felt as if it was about to explode from anger.

She asked Ru Yi,

"Who started this rumor?"

Ru Yi displayed her ability now. She had long thought that these rumors wouldn't burst out for no reason, and was still trying to provoke conflict between Madam Gu and Mu Yun. Thus, she decided to send someone to investigate the source of the rumor.

Ru Yi then said to Madam Gu:

"I've already arranged for someone to go down and inquire about it, but I haven't received any news yet. I think we'll have news by tomorrow morning at the latest. "

Holding Ru Yi's hand, Madam Gu said:

"Ru Yi, luckily I have you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even know what to do."

Ru Yi had followed Madam Gu for so many years, so she naturally knew her character.

At this moment, Madam Gu was almost isolated in the manor, and he was the only one who could rely on her. Thus, what she said was only to make her feel better and more loyal when doing things for her.

However, Ru Yi sincerely thanked her before nodding and leaving.

Gu Lingbo, of course, knew of this as well.

Although he had more or less hinted at Madam Gu's actions in the past few years, he did not get too angry even if Madam Gu had acted on her own to take away her wife and concubine that she was not yet tired of. Those women were just playthings. One or two of them wasn't worth it for him to be angry over.

However, he wanted to see if Madam Gu could turn the situation around and see if she was still fit to be the matriarch. Therefore, he didn't immediately stand up and speak up for Madam Gu. Instead, he became interested in the matter that had just occurred.

It just so happened that day.

He passed by Mu Yun's brine shop and subconsciously took a glance inside the shop. Mu Yun was currently cooking the brine.

In the early autumn, when the weather was still hot, she was drenched in sweat. She had no choice but to raise her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Then she raised her face to fan herself with her sleeve and undid a button on her neck.

These movements were all very normal, but in Gu Shenwei's eyes, he felt that Mu Yun's movements were faintly discernible. Fun and charm. Perplexity.

He could not help but become a little foolish watching this.

One year ago, in the Gu household, Mu Yun was considered a rather shy girl, and her eyebrows hadn't even fully developed yet. However, at that time, Gu Lingbo had already seen that Mu Yun would definitely grow up to be a beauty. Thus, he would often try to do something to her in private.

This was different from his usual self.

Usually, if he took a fancy to a woman, he would immediately make a move and go to bed the next day.

It was probably because his unusual action had alerted Madam Gu that she was able to get rid of Mu Yun early on.

However, what she didn't know was that Gu Lingbo only liked Mu Yun being chosen every time. When teasing, that shy expression. If she had to explain his actions, it was because she saw Mu Yun as a small pet and not a woman.

At this moment, Mu Yun had completely flared up and had undergone the experience of being a human. Her actions were filled with charm.

When Gu Lingbo saw her, he wanted her immediately.

While Gu Shenwei was thinking, Madam Gu also found out the source of the rumors.

This was exactly what Yan Wu had done.

"It really is that bastard. That day, she mocked me so much. I knew that she must be feeling unsatisfied. I never thought that she would dig a pit for me here." Madam Gu said angrily, "That won't do. If I don't teach her a lesson today, she won't know who will be in charge of this estate."

As she spoke, Madam Gu called over the guards and a large group of people headed towards Yan Wu's courtyard.

At this moment, Yan Wu was in the yard eating grapes.

She was still in the middle of her beautiful dream of pampering the entire Gu Residence. She hadn't thought that a crisis would soon befall her.

Hearing the ruckus outside the courtyard, she thought something big had happened to the Gu family. She lifted her skirt and was about to walk to the door when Madam Gu grabbed her.

Several guards went up to hold her down.

Madam Gu released his hand, waved her hand, and said:

"Take her to the Ten Thousand Flowers House! Since she likes to gossip, then let's go to the Ten Thousand Flowers House and use her mouth properly! "

Madam Gu's words were tactful, but everyone understood what she meant. They brought Yan Wu out of the room.

The smoke puffed out vigorously as it struggled to speak.

"Why would you do that? If the old master finds out that you have done this to me, you better watch your skin! "

Seeing that she was still unwilling to accept her fate, Madam Gu sneered:

"This is not the first time I've done this. In the past, when I've done this, Master will still help me. Don't think that Master doted on you for a few days, like how you put it in your heart. People like you are just playthings to Master."

He knew in his heart that it was one thing, but being spoken of by someone else was another.

Yan Wu would never say something like that from someone else. Therefore, she tried even harder to struggle free. Sweat began to appear on her face due to this intense movement.

At this moment, Gu Lingbo happened to come back through the door.

Ever since he saw Mu Yun, he no longer had the mood to look at his accounts. He just wanted to come back early and find a random concubine to comfort himself, so as to suppress the evil fire in his heart.

However, just as he reached the door, he saw a group of people clamoring.

His heart was not at ease to begin with, and seeing this situation, he became even angrier. Looking at those people, he said:

"What happened? Why is it so noisy, causing people to laugh. "

When Yan Wu saw Gu Linbo, it was as if he saw his savior. She raised her head to look at Gu Linbo and whispered,

"Master."

The way he called her 'old master' was tactful and tactful, as though there were countless hidden feelings of affection hidden within.

Gu Lingbo looked at Yan Wu's sweating face and thought of Mu Yun. He suddenly felt that the woman who was being pressed down on the ground was Mu Yun.

He was only distracted for a split-second. When he looked at Yan Wu's face again, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Glancing at Madam Gu, she coldly said:

"What are you doing?"

When Madam Gu saw his expression, she knew that he was angry and that she had bumped into her. However, when she looked at the Yan Wu lying on the ground, she knew that she couldn't let this matter go, so she said forcefully,

"This girl is framing me in the manor. I feel uncomfortable listening to her, so I want to send her away."

When Madam Gu said this, Gu Lingbo's servant had already told him the whole process of what had happened.

The way he looked at Madam Gu became even colder.

"Because of what you did before, I suppressed the Gu family's matriarch for you. "But I never would have thought that you would become even more bold. Not only do you want to kill me, you even want to turn me into a slave. You truly have quite the guts. I do not remember that I gave you such a huge amount of power."

Madam Gu gritted her teeth and said:

"But she is truly despicable. Even if I don't send her away, I can't take this lying down. Old master, you do as you see fit."

As she spoke, she turned around and left, completely ignoring Gu Lingbo's shouts.

Gu Shenwei was infuriated. He looked at Madam Gu's figure and said:

"This is truly going against the heavens. Now, you actually dare to ride on my head?" "Give me an order to have Madam Gu stay at home for the next few days. Without my order, she's not allowed to go out."

The attendant bowed his head and replied "Yes", then immediately turned and left.

Gu Shenwei personally helped Yan Wu up. He wanted to wipe the sweat off her forehead, then smooth out her messy hair. He pulled her hand and walked into her courtyard.

Yan Wu felt as if he had just escaped from death, and the look in his eyes changed as he looked at Gu Shenwei.

In Gu Lin Bo's heart, he thought: Yan Wu and Mu Yun look like one another, especially their lips and the bridge of their nose, but their eyes are very different.

Yan Wu's eyes looked up like a fox's, and also had a bit of peach blossom in them, so every time she looked at him, there would be a hint of seduction; but Mu Yun's eyes were a bit flat, like a phoenix's eye. Usually, they didn't look any different, but if she squinted her eyes, it was as if boundless love flowed within her eyes.

Gu Shenwei looked at Yan Wu's face and thought about Mu Yun's flirtatious look on the bed. He felt even more pity for Yan Wu.

The night passed in silence.
