Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 815: Locked Up

Master Yue had just arrived at the courtyard where the Old Gu Family lived and heard these words, truly wishing he could kick over Mrs. Gu and Ms. Zheng.

Truly a group of shrewish country women, the root of this matter is a prostitute, isn’t it? It’s Gu Youwen who can’t control himself causing the trouble.

If Gu Youwen had a bit of shame, he wouldn’t have accepted the women sent by the scholars’ family, which triggered the stroke.

Lord Lai was very fond of Gu Youwen, glaring fiercely at Yan Qin, wishing he could tear her apart.

Yan Qin was very frightened, trembling, praying that Gu Youlu would adore her a bit more, protect her, and prevent her from dying here.

Seeing Lord Lai losing control and about to get angry, Master Yue hurried over, saluting while saying: "My lord, please calm down. Let’s move Elder Wen and Old Mrs. Gu into the house first. Staying outside like this is not good for Elder Wen and Old Mrs. Gu’s health."

Upon hearing this, Lord Lai noticed Granny Gu, finding her also lying on a board being carried: "What’s going on here?"

Gu Youlu, wanting to take the opportunity to replace Ms. Zheng as his wife, quickly cried and said: "To Uncle Lai, my mother learned that my elder brother was paralyzed and in a fury went to fight Old Master Gan. Ms. Zheng tried to help but used too much force, knocking my mother down, hence causing her to have a stroke and become paralyzed."

Lord Lai was shocked, two people paralyzed in one night?

Lord Lai’s face was no longer gloomy but fierce, pointing at Ms. Zheng: "Knocking down her mother-in-law, causing her to become paralyzed, this kind of wicked woman deserves to be expelled."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zheng cried out: "Lord Lai, Lord Lai I am wronged, it was mother who asked me to help, I just gently touched her, who knew she would faint and have a stroke, it’s really not my fault."

Ms. Zheng wailed dryly, trying to squeeze out tears, but Granny Gu was not a good person, often thinking of expelling her after the family prospered in the past two years, wishing Granny Gu would die, no matter how hard she tried, not a single tear came.

Lord Lai was most annoyed by women making a scene and crying, seeing Ms. Zheng doing so, immediately pointing at her: "Come, bring Ms. Zheng to me..."

"My lord, let’s move Elder Wen and Old Mrs. Gu into the house first." Master Yue hurriedly interrupted Lord Lai’s words, thinking Lord Lai was truly crazy. Ms. Zheng is the daughter-in-law of the Old Gu Family, how she should be dealt with should be decided by Elder Gu, what’s Lord Lai doing disciplining Ms. Zheng?

Upon hearing this, Lord Lai knew he had acted wrong, looking at Elder Gu and said: "Brother Gu, Ms. Zheng’s case I should not interfere, but Ms. Zheng as a daughter-in-law caused her mother-in-law to fall and have a stroke, cannot go unpunished."

Then pointed at Mrs. Gu and said: "And Mrs. Gu, as the official wife, did not timely provide a beauty for her husband, causing him to accept women outside and ended up in trouble. This kind of woman who almost harmed her husband’s life, if not punished, truly is intolerable by heaven."

Although Elder Gu was dissatisfied with Lord Lai, feeling he always disrespected him, he was afraid of officials, hearing Lord Lai’s words, quickly nodding in agreement.

Lord Lai saw his cowardly appearance, didn’t bother to scold him, instructed Zhu Wu: "Quickly carry Youwen back to his courtyard."

Then said to Lai Zhuang: "Go to the accounting room and withdraw silver taels, invite all doctors in Prefecture with good medical skills, let them diagnose Youwen."

Youwen absolutely cannot be paralyzed, must be made well to continue serving as an official.

Lai Zhuang glanced at Doctor Liu, seeing his indifferent expression, responded, turned to withdraw silver and invite renowned doctors.

Granny Gu was always awake, seeing Lord Lai caring only for Gu Youwen, not for her, desperately watching him, moaning, drooling continuously, extremely pitiful.

Lord Lai heard the sound, glanced in her direction, wishing he could chop her... despicable woman, all her incompetence as a mother, otherwise Youwen wouldn’t be in trouble!

Lord Lai completely ignored Granny Gu, hurriedly following Zhu Wu and others to Gu Youwen’s courtyard, while turning back instructing Master Yue: "Bring that Old Master Gan and the prostitute here, let them kneel in Youwen’s courtyard, I’ll question them later."

"Yes." Master Yue quickly ordered two protectors to escort Old Master Gan and Yan Qin, heading to Gu Youwen’s courtyard.

Gu Youlu worried about Yan Qin, also hurriedly followed.

Granny Gu saw Lord Lai leaving, feeling very sad, moaning, her eyes welling with tears.

Elder Gu thought she was worried about Gu Youwen, comforting her: "Lady Shuang don’t worry, Lai Zhuang has already gone to invite famous doctors from Prefecture, both Youwen and you will get better."

Finished saying, had four protectors carry Granny Gu back to the inner room of the main house, after settling Granny Gu, told the four protectors: "Go lock up those two wicked women Ms. Zheng and Mrs. Gu!"

Elder Gu directed all his anger onto Mrs. Gu and Ms. Zheng.

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu and Ms. Zheng quickly started crying: "Father, father you can’t lock us up, we still need to take care of Youwen and mother."

However, Elder Gu completely ignored them, determined to lock them up.

The four protectors eager to rest early, completely ignored Mrs. Gu and Ms. Zheng’s cries, also paid no heed to the distinction between men and women, directly escorting them to the side chamber.

After tying them up and gagging them, they shut the door and left.

Suddenly, the courtyard where Elder Gu lived fell silent. Elder Gu looked around, not seeing other family members, angrily slapped the table, shouting: "Come, come here!"

The gatekeeping maiden was a servant of the Lai Family, knowing the Old Gu Family only scrounge for benefits, didn’t care about Old Gu Family people, Elder Gu shouted for a long time, only then did the gatekeeping maiden come slowly.

"Elder Gu, what are your orders."

Elder Gu angrily asked: "Where’s Youfu’s family, Jinzhi’s family, also little sister and Sister Ya? Their mother and grandmother had a stroke, hurry and let them come to attend to them!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The maiden said: "Mr. Fu hasn’t returned yet, don’t know where he went."

As for Ms. Zhang and the others...

"This old servant will go call them."

Saying this, she turned and left, shortly after leaving the courtyard, ran into Ms. Zhang bringing Gu Rong.

Ms. Zhang came because Gu Rong said at this time it’s the right opportunity to attend, so grandfather will value their branch more.

Ms. Zhang came hoping her family could receive more benefits in the future.

Although Elder Gu favored Gu Youfu, looking just like him, the grandchildren he cherished most were Gu Chengxian and Gu Ya, therefore upon seeing Ms. Zhang and her daughter, he scolded: "Are you all dead? Such a big incident here, been noisy for so long and you haven’t heard? Intentionally not coming to attend, right? Is this how you’re filial to your grandparents?"

After yelling at Ms. Zhang and them, he asked Gu Rong: "Where’s your brother? How come he’s missing in the middle of the night? And where’s your cousin, aunt, and elder aunt’s family? Where’s everyone gone? Such a big incident at home and don’t even come to see!"
