Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 873: Lord Lai Driven Mad with Rage

And Old Master Zhan San even said Gu Ya was not a virgin?

Where did this come from?

Gu Ya has always worn her hair in a maiden’s style, how could she not be a virgin?

Looking at Little Sister Gu still lying on the ground... Gu Rong said she had been married, her husband died, and now she’s a widow, yet she still wears her hair in a maiden’s style, claiming she’s still a maiden.

Even Little Sister Gu, a widow, can pretend to be a maiden to deceive, so it’s not surprising that Gu Ya is not a virgin.

But...

The servants of the Lai Family are about to cry, what sins have their master committed to encounter the Old Gu Family?

You see, their master is in the midst of arranging marriages for Gu Ya and Little Sister Gu with young heirs from wealthy families in He’an Prefecture. Three wealthy families have sought favors from him, stating they don’t mind the scandal of the Old Gu Family, as long as Lord Lai successfully manages the affairs for them, they would agree to the marriages.

The marriage negotiations are almost concluded, but now Little Sister Gu and Gu Ya have caused such a scandal, really, sigh!

What further breaks them down is Gu Dagu shouting at them: "Go find Uncle Lai and ask him to come here, saying the Zhan Family is bullying us, they slept with our maiden but are not giving her the wife’s position, ask him to seek justice for us."

Do it yourself!

The Lai Family servants are about to cry, ask Lord Lai to seek justice for a scandal where maiden girls debase themselves climbing into beds?

Moreover, the maiden climbing into the bed is not even a virgin, it was the Old Gu Family who first tried to extort the Zhan Family uncles and nephews, how can justice be pursued?

Gu Dagu saw they weren’t moving and became very angry, directly telling Ms. Zheng: "Go, get Manager Gan, have him drive the mule cart to find Uncle Lai to seek justice, if today’s matter doesn’t give the Old Gu Family justice, it won’t end!"

Ms. Zheng promptly responded, hurried away, and went to find Manager Gan, telling him to quickly find Lord Lai, saying that a life-threatening matter has occurred at the Old Gu Family that urgently requires his adjudication.

Manager Gan was not foolish, he was already aware of the commotion at the Zhan Family uncles and nephews’ courtyard, and had his own little calculations... thinking if Lord Lai saw this scandal, he would surely despise the Old Gu Family. As long as Lord Lai despised them and no longer supported them, they would not need to worry anymore and could let the Gan Family buy them off, allowing them to return to the Gan Family.

All the Old Gu Family is mad, and plagued with venereal disease, they cannot stay any longer.

"Yes, I’m going to find Lord Lai right away." Manager Gan drove the mule cart himself to find Lord Lai.

At this moment, Lord Lai was on his way to the government office, he was going so late deliberately, just to avoid suspicion, afraid the Old Gu Family would win the lawsuit, and citizens would accuse him of favoritism.

He couldn’t afford any more damage to his reputation, if it worsened further, he would lose his official position.

Manager Gan recognized the Lai Family’s mule cart, and thrashing the mule hard with the whip, the mule galloped wild, soon overtaking the Lai Family’s mule cart.

The Lai Family driver yelled angrily: "You blind fool, what kind of driving is that? Didn’t you see this is an official’s mule cart, how dare you overtake it?"

Manager Gan immediately stopped the mule cart, turning around and kneeling on the ground, saying: "I am Gan, the manager of Old Gu Family on Moxiang Street, sent by Third Mrs. Lu to invite Lord Lai. Third Mrs. Lu said there’s a life-threatening affair in the manor, asking you to hurry there."

"What did you say?" Lord Lai pulled aside the curtain, gazing at Manager Gan, asking: "Did Mrs. Lu say so? What life-threatening affair? Did something happen to Chengzhi?"

Lord Lai currently cares most about Gu Chengzhi, among the few sons and grandsons there, Chengzhi is the only one robust and sturdy. If even he encounters trouble, it would be disastrous.

Lord Lai immediately entrusted the driver: "Quickly turn and head to the Old Gu Family on Moxiang Street, hurry!"

"Yes." The driver quickly turned around, sped toward the Old Gu Family.

Inside the carriage, Lai Zhuang and Steward Yue frowned deeply.

Steward Yue discontentedly said: "Master, you rushed over without even inquiring about the situation, what if the Old Gu Family is deceiving us?"

Steward Yue is extremely resentful of the Old Gu Family, fearing that, continuing like this, Lord Lai will be dragged down completely by them.

Lord Lai knew Steward Yue’s displeasure toward the Old Gu Family, and was aware that, to outsiders, his benevolence to the Old Gu Family seemed excessive, but certain reasons could not be disclosed, he could only reassure Steward Yue: "After all, they are the offspring of old benefactors, now faced with such hardships, they specially sent someone for me, if I don’t go, I would be criticized for being ungrateful." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He added: "Rest assured, once the Old Gu Family peacefully overcomes this calamity, with a livelihood, I won’t bother with them anymore."

Upon hearing this, Steward Yue’s internal rage subdued somewhat.

But this anger had dissipated for only thirty minutes before, upon arriving at the Old Gu Family on Moxiang Street, it surged skyward once again, nearly infuriating Steward Yue to death!

In the courtyard where the Zhan Family uncles and nephews resided, Steward Yue and Lord Lai stood, bewildered by the chaotic scene inside, listening to Gu Dagu and Little Sister Gu’s incessant lamentations.

Steward Yue, hand trembling, pointed at Little Sister Gu and said: "You, what are you saying? Gu Rong and Gu Ya climbed into the beds of the Zhan Family uncles and nephews, achieving success, now the Zhan Family uncles and nephews want to marry them as concubines, but you refuse, insisting Young Master Zhan San must marry you as an official wife?"

Little Sister Gu cried: "Exactly so, Young Master Zhan San desires me, it was that vile wench Gu Rong who plotted against him, but I don’t blame him. Yet if even Gu Rong can become a concubine of good quality, I must be the official wife, or I’ll die crashing here!"

"Crash, you hurry and crash, today if you don’t crash to death, you are not human!" Steward Yue was enraged, did not expect Manager Gan to summon them because of such a disgraceful affair.

Oh God, spare him, he is a steward, aiding officials in strategizing for the welfare of the common people, not solving such sordid affairs.

Lord Lai was equally stunned, fundamentally disbelief that Gu Ya would commit such a bed-climbing act.

Sister Ya is indeed the most dignified and aloof among the Old Gu Family’s maidens, displaying the grace of a young lady from a noble family, he had already arranged a marriage for her, how could such a scandal occur?

Beside, Gu Rong chuckled: "Aunt, my niece advises you, do maintain some dignity, Young Master Zhan San has made it abundantly clear, he will not marry you. You are a widow, how can Young Master Zhan San marry you as an official wife? Also, Gu Ya, do not disdain Old Master Zhan for his age, you are not an unmarried maiden, during the famine, you even conceived a child, being able to be a concubine to a noble elder is already fortuitous."

Lord Lai went insane, glaring angrily with bloodshot eyes, extending his neck, pointing at Little Sister Gu, shockingly asked: "You, you say Little Sister is a widow? She was married? Sister Ya conceived a child?"

Gu Rong faced Lord Lai, her smile dazzling, nodded: "Yes, Lord Lai, my aunt married before the famine, but my uncle’s fate was unfortunate, during the famine was beaten to death by a villain, my aunt then kept widowhood. Cousin Ya sold herself secretly for food during the famine, leading to..."

With a bang, before Gu Rong could finish, Lord Lai coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
