Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 811: So Pitiful

Today, Old Master Gan invited Gu Youwen to resolve the matter of his own son being caught cheating. Hearing Gu Youwen’s words, he knew the issue was settled and immediately thanked him, "The Gan Family will surely remember Lord Gu’s kindness."

After thanking Gu Youwen, he instructed the housekeeper, "Take Lord Gu to the house on Moxiang Street and make sure he is well taken care of."

The beauty, who was instructed by Old Master Gan, looked at Gu Youwen with alluring eyes and said, "Sir, from now on, the house on Moxiang Street will be your home with Yan Qin. The deed is already in the study room, just waiting for you to bring Yan Qin home."

Hearing this, Gu Youwen was overjoyed. Old Master Gan was indeed generous, gifting not only a beauty but also a house, which was truly to his heart’s content.

Living in the Prefecture School mansion was prestigious, but it meant nothing to the Second Young Master Lai. That arrogant brat was always mocking the Old Gu Family, leaving Lord Gu thoroughly humiliated.

Therefore, Gu Youwen longed for a house of his own and gladly accepted it, saying to Old Master Gan, "Brother Wei is smart, just a bit spirited. Once he matures in a few years and focuses on his studies, he will surely achieve great results."

This was his subtle way of thanking Old Master Gan.

Old Master Gan understood and secretly sneered.

Heh, just an outsider living off the Lai Family, yet he puts on airs, really thinking being called "Lord" makes him one? Just a teacher, not even an Assistant Officer!

But Old Master Gan still feigned delight, thanking Gu Youwen again and again, and personally saw him out, watching him get on the mule cart.

As soon as Gu Youwen got on the mule cart, he couldn’t wait to pounce on the beauty, kissing her fervently.

Yan Qin gently pushed Gu Youwen away, saying softly, "My Lord, don’t rush. Wait until we reach the house, and Yan Qin will serve you properly."

Yan Qin’s sweet voice and soft body made Gu Youwen even more impatient.

Fortunately, Moxiang Street was just next door, and the house from the Gan Family was the first one on the street. Otherwise, Gu Youwen might have gone ahead with Yan Qin in the cart.

The housekeeper escorted Gu Youwen all the way to the house, hearing his sounds from the cart, secretly spitting in disdain. This is supposed to be a teacher? Just a boar who’s never seen a woman.

Once the mule cart entered the house, Gu Youwen and Yan Qin disheveledly got out and rushed straight to the main courtyard. They started in the outer room of the main room, not even entering the inner chamber, startling the Gan Family servants who were waiting to serve the new owner and making them quickly leave the room.

Four maids stood in the courtyard, blushing, thinking, shouldn’t we be a bit more patient?

The housekeeper waved at them, instructing them to withdraw from the main courtyard. Once at the front courtyard, he told them, "You’ve seen Lord Gu’s temperament, loves face-saving, loves pomp, just flatter him more."

If they served Lord Gu well, then their master could continue staying at the Prefecture School.

"Yes, we understand," the Gan Family servants responded.

The housekeeper did not linger long in the house, staying for just over fifteen minutes before returning to the Gan Mansion to report back to Old Master Gan.

Old Master Gan laughed coldly upon hearing that Gu Youwen nearly acted in the cart, "Why does Lord Lai favor that Gu family? Treating them so well?"

If Lord Lai were wise, he’d drive the Gu family away immediately. Otherwise, they’d cause him great trouble sooner or later.

Old Master Gan, being sharp, said no more about Gu Youwen, only instructing the housekeeper to check in the morning, bringing Gu Youwen a housewarming gift.

In essence, the house was for Gu Youwen’s mistress. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

However, Old Master Gan didn’t expect that before the next day came, Gu Youwen would meet with trouble.

In the house on Moxiang Street, just after Gu Youwen found comfort, he began convulsing and foaming at the mouth, exhibiting symptoms identical to Lu Laosan before he was paralyzed.

Yan Qin, having grown up in a brothel in Jiangnan, recognized that Gu Youwen was experiencing a type of ardent madness. Terrified, she screamed loudly, "Help, help! Lord Gu is in trouble!"

Two maids, who were in the opposite room, quickly put down their embroidery and rushed into the main room. Seeing Gu Youwen convulsing on the ground, their faces turned white, trembling as they asked, "Yan, Miss Yan Qin, what’s happening?"

"What’s there to ask? Can’t you see Lord Gu is dying? Go get the housekeeper to call a doctor!" Yan Qin shouted at the two maids, dropping her soft-spoken manner.

"Yes, yes, we will," the two maids replied, stumbling out of the main courtyard, looking for the junior housekeeper to report the incident.

The junior housekeeper was frantic, "What are you saying? Lord Gu is in trouble?"

Oh no, if something happened to Gu Youwen, he’d be in deep trouble.

With no time for more questions, he instructed the maids, "Quick, have Gui Qiang at the gatehouse call a doctor!"

Saying so, he ran off, rushing into the main room. Upon seeing Gu Youwen convulsing on the ground, foaming at the mouth with blood oozing—that was a tongue bite—he was so shocked he nearly fainted.

Without bothering to scold Yan Qin, he knelt down, using his hands to pry open Gu Youwen’s mouth, grabbed an inner garment, balled it up with one hand, and quickly stuffed it into Gu Youwen’s mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue off.

But Gu Youwen continued to convulse, seemingly on the verge of death.

The junior housekeeper shouted at Yan Qin, "What happened? Weren’t you told to serve Lord Gu properly? Is this how you serve him?"

Yan Qin covered herself with clothes, sobbing, "I did my best, but who would’ve thought Lord Gu would suddenly collapse."

Damn, rushing when he couldn’t even handle it, now it might cost her life.

Seeing no answer, the junior housekeeper pressed down on Gu Youwen’s body with all his might to control the convulsions.

...

On the roof of the main room in the main courtyard, Qin San Lang covered Gu Jinli’s eyes with his hand, never letting go, though his face was red with confusion over why Xiao Yu always used... this tactic against men?

First, there was Lu Laosan, now Gu Youwen, and who knew if Gu Youfu was poisoned too? If so, he’d be the third.

Gu Jinli could hear sounds from inside but couldn’t see because Qin San Lang wouldn’t let her, so she quietly asked, "How’s it inside?"

Qin San Lang whispered back, "Pretty bad, convulsions bit his tongue, a lot of blood."

Gu Jinli tutted, "How pitiful."

Qin San Lang chuckled, how pitiful when it was your doing.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Qin San Lang asked her, "Xiao Yu, is the only... poison that kind?"

"What kind of poison?" Gu Jinli turned her head towards him, saying, "I have many kinds of poisons, but the mountain god mushroom is most suitable for Gu Youwen."

This old man wants to sleep with young girls, no different from Lu Laosan, so he deserved the same poison as Lu Laosan.
