Chapter 106 Discovering clues
"Of course..."
"Those people who came on horseback must be people of high status..."
"Didn't you see the contents of those three oxcarts? I saw a cartload of cloth behind them, mostly this year's new styles of fine fabric..."
"Didn't you see those two...?"
"Who's from the Qinglin family?"
"It's that man we saw last time..."
"Which one?"
"It was the time when Chenglin and his wife came back from the county and went to the village head's house..."
"I didn't realize it, I was almost scared to death by those people..."
"This is quite a big show..."
"Who says it's not..."
"What do you think is going on with the Gu family?"
"No wonder my grandma said that if one generation has no good wife, three generations will have no good sons..."
Do you think Gu Yaohui really frequents brothels?
"Who knows, we don't always go to the county..."
"It seems to be true. One of those men is the son of the Hexing Pottery family."
My younger brother works as a shop assistant at Hexing Pottery. I saw them once when I brought him some mended clothes…”
"It's the shop that makes the plates and bowls we use..."
"Yes, that employer is very good, and his son must be good too. He doesn't seem to be lying."
"I never expected that Gu Qingshan, who was honest and upright all his life, would have so many sons."
"Doesn't this just prove what Chunxing's grandmother said..."
"It seems the Gu family patriarch has made the wrong bet!"
"I just can't stand his way of doing things..."
"A student who spends all his time visiting brothels can become the top scholar in the imperial examinations..."
"What's wrong with Granny Gu all this time? All the money she painstakingly saved has been squandered by her son..."
"Sigh, everyone says you should marry a virtuous wife, and now look what's happened, I've lost another wife..."
"They'd probably be more than happy to see it! Haven't you heard that Widow Zhao gave birth to a son for Gu Yaozong?"
"Tch, who knows whose child it is..."
……
"A woman shouldn't be too domineering and overpower her man..."
“Sun Shu’s family, isn’t your mother-in-law a domineering person? Look at your family, who dares to cause trouble?”
"Sister-in-law Yang, my mother-in-law treats all her daughters-in-law equally, even better than her own daughter."
“Yang’s family, isn’t your mother-in-law also domineering? I think that domineering is not the same as being overbearing.”
"Hey, Sister-in-law Zhou, all of you with those four characters, come out here!"
"Alright, Sister-in-law Zhou Hua is literate too."
"Hehe, Gu Meiyu is completely ruined!"
"Should……"
……
Gu Yongliang stared at the gate, then glanced at his wife and the others, said nothing, and left with his hunched back and faltering steps, supported by his son.
Finished!
What has he gained in return for all these years of hard work?
He has offended almost everyone in the clan...
Gu Yucheng turned his head and glanced at the house with a complicated expression, his heart filled with mixed feelings, and he sighed silently...
His dad should finally give up this time!
Thinking of his wife's daily complaints and occasional tears, and his little daughter who was determined not to go home.
Her mother's face showed worry and helplessness, and sometimes she would do chores while staring blankly into space.
His heart ached.
Their home was ruined because of Gu Yaohui; it had been so long since he had heard laughter and joy in his house.
Gu Yaohui, the person his father treated with all his heart...
Want to visit a brothel?
Ha ha……
His father gave almost all of the family's savings to that family...
Just as Chenglin's family said, her mother had saved up a lot of money, but her father had secretly taken it all away.
Thinking of his son attending a private school, his heart ached again, and he felt even more guilty towards his wife and children.
This is his father, his own father. What can he do?
Aunt Gu Si cursed at Old Lady Gu, who was pretending to faint, "Pah! Karma! You deserve it!"
"Now look what's happened. Go ahead and make a scene. The Li family is getting a divorce, and your family's money is gone."
Granny Gu retorted smugly, "Liu, my son is capable. Even without Li, he can find an even richer wife. You don't know, do you? I already have a grandson."
Sun Xingniang looked at her with schadenfreude and sneered, "Old Lady Ye, your plan has probably failed!"
This morning, Zhao, the widow from Xiaowan Village, left with her two-year-old son and the second-in-command of Qingfeng Village.
That child calls the second-in-command "Dad."
Hahaha……
You don't know yet, do you? Widow Zhao's house has been sold to her backyard. My youngest son just told me this when he came back from collecting eggs in Xiaowan Village. They're not coming back anymore!
We all know about your son's relationship with Widow Zhao all these years, and judging from your expression, you probably knew all along, didn't you?"
What is this called?
Chicken flies and eggs are broken…
Let you be so cocky...
Gu Yaozong looked astonished and angrily said, "No way, you're lying! Xiao Cui said Xiao Lingdang is my son!"
How could he possibly be the second-in-command of Qingfeng Village?
Impossible, absolutely impossible...
That child is his; he was calling him "Dad" yesterday! How could that be...?
He realized these people were lying to him, so he got up and ran quickly toward Xiaowan Village. He tripped and fell, landing face down on the ground.
Sun Yang spat at him and said loudly, "Pah! Widow Zhao's chickens were all sold to me this morning."
Her son's mole at the corner of his eye was exactly the same as the one on the second-in-command of Qingfeng Village, and in the same location as it was.
You may not know the second-in-command of Qingfeng Village, but my brother and I do.
Living turtle!
"Bah! Widow Zhao is just using you as a scapegoat. With all that fat, you actually think she likes you?"
Gu Yaozong got up, turned around, looking somewhat lost and disoriented, staring intently at Gu Si's family and Sun Xing's family.
He shouted hoarsely, "Impossible...that's my son! My son, Gu Yaozong's son!"
Hearing this, the clan chief Gu, who hadn't gone far, could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Gu Yucheng, supporting his father who was about to collapse, shouted in their direction, "Fourth Uncle, my father is vomiting blood..."
……
Lu Yunqing entered the courtyard, looked at Dongfang Jin who came out to greet her, and pointed to the layout of the house: "Not bad, there are no illegal placements."
You've really hit the jackpot! I heard from Master Xu that Tang Youcai built this house but never lived in it for a single day."
Dongfang Jin smiled and said, "Is that so? Please, Eunuch An, and all distinguished guests."
Anxi looked surprised when she heard her call her father-in-law: "Do you know where our family comes from?"
Dongfang Jin curtsied and said, "I can tell."
I thought to myself, this is the first time I've seen someone in a TV series, not in person.
Lu Yunqing joked, "Eunuch An, this girl is a bit mischievous, please don't take offense."
Anxi smiled and said, "Your Highness is too kind."
He wasn't really angry, because he didn't see any contempt or disdain in Dongfang Jin's eyes.
You should know that he was very influential in the palace because of His Majesty and his godfather, but he was still very sensible in his actions.
I never cause trouble for my godfather.
And those princes and nobles in the capital, who would look down on them?
Every time they came to visit, they would speak respectfully, but their eyes would be full of disdain, and behind their backs they would curse them as eunuchs or something...
Then the heir of the Marquis of Changyuan spoke up, which shows that he thinks highly of her.
Moreover, this person is currently on the list of those in His Majesty's and the Imperial Tutor's courts, so he dares not offend him; in fact, he must treat him with respect.
Changsun Lan leaned closer to Lu Yunqing, looked at the person leading the way, and teased, "Is the heir of the Marquis of Changyuan very familiar with that little girl?"
Lu Yunqing stopped and glanced at him sideways: "Rotten persimmon (Prince Lan) Xiao Jin is already married, and Gu Chenglin is her husband."
It means that she's already taken, so don't get any more interested.
