Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 827: Elder Gu Gets Scolded

The constable Squad Leader, upon hearing this, immediately dispatched officials to Chunfeng Pavilion.

Doctor Liu seized the opportunity and said, "I am fairly skilled in medicine, let me go with you."

This Old Gu Family is too terrifying, although he wanted to make money, he didn’t want to risk his life here, so he decided to slip away quickly, before it’s too late.

The constable Squad Leader knew Doctor Liu and immediately agreed.

Doctor Liu quickly took his attendant and followed the two officials to Chunfeng Pavilion.

The constable Squad Leader began interrogating Gu Chengxian, Gu Youlu, and Qian Chengcai.

Gu Youlu wanted to lie to deceive the officials, but the guests at Chunfeng Pavilion were witnesses, and they had all heard what they said in the courtyard, so it was impossible to fabricate lies. He had no choice but to honestly recount spending the night with the Flower Fairy at Chunfeng Pavilion.

After all the questioning was done, the officials who went with Doctor Liu to Chunfeng Pavilion also returned.

"Doctor Liu and the other two doctors have inspected the personal clothing left by the four Flower Fairies... they’re rotten, like decayed meat, the three doctors said it is indeed venereal disease."

It’s hard to imagine how Gu Chengxian and the others managed that last night.

Upon hearing this, Gu Youlu quickly stood up, charging forward and shouting, "Impossible, you’re talking nonsense, what stench, last night Shuixian was very fragrant, the room was filled with aroma!"

The official hurriedly stepped back a few steps, keeping a distance from Gu Youlu: "Doctor Liu and the others said that it was precisely the strong fragrance that masked the stench, now that the strong fragrance has dissipated, the odor remained on the clothing has come out."

Hearing this, Gu Youlu couldn’t take the shock, howled, and fainted.

Qian Chengcai didn’t fare much better, after realizing it, he also fainted.

Lord Lai wore an expression as cold as ice, remained silent for a good half an hour, until the constable Squad Leader was about to leave, he finally said: "Wait, allow me to change into my official uniform, and go back to the government office with you."

He had to go plead with Lord Magistrate, to give Chengxian a chance.

After all, Lord Lai was a Vice Magistrate, a fifth-rank official, the constable Squad Leader dared not offend him, respectfully saying: "Yes, sir, as you command." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

After this incident, Lord Lai was exhausted, needing Lai Zhuang’s support just to walk. However, the Old Gu Family, unreasonably, appeared at this time.

Elder Gu, upon hearing that Gu Chengxian and the others had slept with diseased Flower Fairies and had gotten involved in a scandal at the government office, nearly passed out.

Chengxian was his most cherished grandson, he was hoping for this grandson to pass the Scholar, examinee, Scholar title, become a high-ranking official in the future, allowing him to be a proud grandfather.

If Chengxian contracted venereal disease, everything would be ruined.

Elder Gu hurriedly brought Gu Dagu, Little Sister Gu, Gu Ya, and Gu Youfu’s family over, upon seeing Lord Lai, he immediately shouted: "Brother Lai, are the government people going to take Chengxian away? Oh no, they can’t take him away. Chengxian is about to participate in the exam in a few days, the government people can’t believe the rumors of those bad people, and harm Chengxian!"

The constable Squad Leader thought internally, you can rest assured, the government will not take away Gu Chengxian, those with venereal disease, the government office doesn’t dare to take them.

Gu Dagu also cried out: "Uncle Lai, Uncle Lai, please save Guangzong’s father and son, although they like to visit brothels, they always go to clean ones, how could they catch a disease?"

However, the doctors have confirmed that Mu Dan and the others have venereal disease, and Gu Chengxian and his group spent the night with the four Flower Fairies, catching it is inevitable.

Lord Lai looked at Gu Dagu, then at Little Sister Gu and Gu Ya, his lungs nearly bursting with rage, pointing at Elder Gu and shouting: "You fool, undisciplined old thing, do you know where this place is? What happened today? You actually dared to bring two unmarried girls here. Peasants are peasants, they’re inherently hopeless, like mud, can’t support even if you try!"

Lord Lai scolded Elder Gu harshly, Elder Gu’s face turned red with rage, trembling all over.

Well, the surname Lai really looks down on him, scolding him like this in public, doesn’t treat him as a son-in-law of an benefactor at all?

However, in Lord Lai’s eyes, let alone son-in-law, Gu old man is nothing more than a servant, a bastard of no brain.

"Quickly take Yu Ye and Sister Ya back, you can be shameless, but they still need to marry off." Lord Lai directly commanded Elder Gu.

Elder Gu wanted to curse back, but Lord Lai was an official, Elder Gu feared officials most in his life, how could he dare to curse? He could only suffocate and say to Little Sister Gu: "Little Sister, you and Sister Ya go back first."

Little Sister Gu is only brave in her own home, seeing Lord Lai angry, didn’t dare to stay longer, hurriedly pulled Gu Ya away.

Gu Ya followed Little Sister Gu with stiff legs, her mind repeating one sentence: It’s over, it’s over, my father and brother are finished, without father and brother to rely on, how can she marry into a wealthy family as a young madam?

Gu Ya’s whole purpose in life is to marry into a prominent family, become a young madam, an official’s wife, now her dream was about to shatter, she resented Gu Youwen and Gu Chengxian deeply, cursing them in her heart: Two dogs who only care about the two or three cents of meat in their pants, dragging me down like this, if I, Gu Ya, can’t become an official’s wife, I’ll see you dead with no grave!

Gu Ya, during the times of famine, to survive, went through some bad experiences, her heart had become as hard as iron, she didn’t care about other family members at all, only if she could marry well, live above others.

...

After scolding Elder Gu, Lord Lai ordered Zhu Wu to have the Protectors block Elder Gu, then he took Lai Zhuang and the rest away.

Elder Gu watched Lord Lai leave with a large group of people, felt his face burning hot, more humiliating than being slapped in public.

However, no one cared about Elder Gu’s dignity, even though he lived in the Tong Vice Magistrate’s mansion, no one in the entire Prefecture respected him, all mocked the Old Gu Family secretly, four generations of the family relying on the Lai Family, shameless to the extreme.

After changing into official attire, Lord Lai immediately got on a mule cart and hurried to the Prefecture Government Office.

He didn’t dare to enter through the main gate, going through the corner gate, after entering the Prefecture Government Office, he immediately went to find Magistrate Gu, pleading: "Lord Magistrate, Chengxian that child has studied diligently for more than ten years, waiting for this exam, you must help him and not cancel his exam qualification."

"Moreover, it is still undetermined whether he has contracted venereal disease, only after symptoms appear can it be confirmed. Since it’s not confirmed, he shouldn’t be stopped from taking the exam."

Magistrate Gu was about to conclude a case in public court, but since Lord Lai had sent someone to request his presence, due to the influential backing behind Lord Lai, he had no choice but to meet him. However, allowing Gu Chengxian to take the exam was impossible.

"Now the whole city is abuzz about this incident, all the scholars have gathered, Lord Yu, the Scholars, the examinees, even old masters whose families have officials, have all come. If I don’t handle it according to the law, we’ll surely be written up, then it will be a disaster costing us our positions."

Magistrate Gu advised Lord Lai: "I know you wish to repay the favor, but no matter how you repay it, you can’t involve yourself to such an extent."

If you wish to die, go alone, don’t drag me into it.

Besides, Magistrate Gu felt Lord Lai was crazy, risking losing his position to plea for a benefactor’s descendant, is it worth it? Is your son dead? Need to support a benefactor’s offspring without blood relations like this?
