Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 907: Mrs. Zhou Has Left

Gu Dagu was nearly overjoyed, ignoring the fact that Gu Youlu, Gu Chengxian, and Qian Guangzong were suffering from venereal disease, and ran to their courtyard to tell them the good news through the door.

Gu Youlu was so happy he nearly fainted: "Uncle Lai is actually our biological father. Big sister, then we should hurry to acknowledge him. Our own father is an official, and if we acknowledge him, we become official’s sons."

This status is much better than being a farmer.

Gu Dagu said cheerfully, "Of course, I’ve been thinking of visiting our father. It’s just that all of you have this terrible condition and can’t leave this house. Otherwise, all us siblings would take our children to visit him, and wouldn’t he be delighted to see us? The Lai family is almost extinct, with only Lai Yan as the male descendant."

Speaking of male descendants, Gu Youlu was furious and cursed Ms. Zheng: "That bitch has really screwed our family. If Brother Zhi was a normal child, we could use him to fight for the Lai family’s inheritance. Look at the Lai family, first merchants, now officials, rich and powerful. If we could return to the Lai family with healthy children, wouldn’t we easily get a share of the wealth?"

Hearing this, Gu Dagu also cursed Ms. Zheng: "That bitch had her own crazy illness and didn’t say anything. She’s really harmed us."

She then mentioned Gu Chengzhi: "You wouldn’t know, but Brother Zhi had another episode last night. It was terrible. He bit a piece of flesh off Ms. Zheng’s hand and even... ate it."

As Gu Dagu spoke, she shuddered, recalling the ghostly appearance of Gu Chengzhi and feeling very frightened.

After hearing this, Gu Youlu was furious and yelled: "Brother Zhi had another episode? How is that bitch Ms. Zheng taking care of him?"

Though Gu Chengzhi has this madness, he’s his only child. After raising him, he can buy a woman for him, and he can still carry on the family line. Gu Youlu still cares and can’t bear to abandon Gu Chengzhi.

He then said to Gu Dagu: "Big sister, go call Ms. Zheng here, I need to teach her a lesson!"

Ms. Zheng happened to be arriving at this courtyard, and upon hearing this, she angrily cursed Gu Youlu: "Gu Youlu, you bastard, how dare you come and curse me. If you had controlled your urges, would I have married into your family? Now Brother Zhi is sick, and you blame me? I haven’t even blamed you yet!"

"If you hadn’t slept with the Flower Fairy, you wouldn’t have gotten a venereal disease. Without that disease, we would have already gone to the Lai family to be official’s sons." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Then she could be the wife of an official’s son and order around the Lai family’s servants with confidence. Unlike now, having to beg them for every little thing.

Ms. Zheng, with her sharp tongue, cursed Gu Youlu without taking a breath, and then cursed Gu Dagu: "And you, Yuan Jinzhi, if you dare to hit me again, I’ll drown your Bao’er in a urine bucket, believe it or not!"

Bao’er!

Upon hearing this, Gu Dagu was delighted.

Yes, she still had a healthy grandson, Bao’er. She could take Bao’er to see Lord Lai. Wouldn’t Lord Lai be pleased and give Bao’er a thick slice of the family fortune?

"Oh dear sister-in-law, you’ve really helped me a lot." After saying this, Gu Dagu hurried off to Zhou’s courtyard to find Bao’er.

But the door to Zhou’s courtyard was shut tight, and Gu Dagu couldn’t get in.

Gu Dagu immediately knocked on the door: "Mrs. Zhou, open the door, I must see Bao’er. You may not know this, but Bao’er is very precious now, being the great-grandson of a fifth-rank official!"

She also cursed Mrs. Zhou: "Hmph, you cheap woman, you used to look down on our Gu and Qian families, but I’m telling you, you’ve misjudged. I am the legitimate daughter of Lord Lai, an official’s daughter. You being able to be my daughter-in-law is a blessing you’ve cultivated for eight lifetimes. Open the door, I want to take Bao’er to see his great-grandfather."

Bang bang bang

Gu Dagu kept knocking on the courtyard door, but no one came to open it even after a long time.

Gu Dagu frowned: "Mrs. Zhou, have you died inside? Open the door for me immediately!"

However, no matter how much she shouted, the courtyard door did not open.

There were Lai family servants in this house, specifically assigned by Lord Lai to attend to Gu Youwen and the others. Seeing the commotion Gu Dagu was making, they came over and asked, "Mrs. Qian, are you looking for Young Mrs. Qian?"

Gu Dagu nodded: "Yes, I want to take Bao’er to see my father. But that bitch Mrs. Zhou won’t open the door. Go find some people to help me break it down. I don’t believe this door can’t be smashed open."

After finding out she was Lord Lai’s daughter, Gu Dagu had straightened her back and was determined to break down Mrs. Zhou’s courtyard door.

The Lai family servant, however, informed her: "You’re too late. An hour ago, the young madam left with Young Master Bao and several servants, saying they were going to the Daoist Temple for a while to relieve Bao’er of his misfortunes."

"What? Mrs. Zhou took Bao’er to the Daoist Temple? How could a daughter-in-law leave without telling her mother-in-law?" Gu Dagu was furious; Mrs. Zhou was increasingly disregarding her as her mother-in-law.

Just wait. Once she acknowledged her father, she would definitely deal with Mrs. Zhou.

But Gu Dagu didn’t know that Mrs. Zhou wouldn’t be coming back this time.

Mrs. Zhou hadn’t wanted to marry Qian Chengcai in the first place, and with the Old Gu family in this state, she’d long wanted to leave. After learning that someone had filed another complaint against Empress Dowager Gu, she had her maid investigate. When the case implicated Lord Lai, Mrs. Zhou started contemplating.

She waited all morning, and when the maid came to report that there was conclusive evidence of Lord Lai and Empress Dowager Gu conspiring against Yuan Jiaman, she immediately took her valuables and silver notes, grabbed Bao’er, and left.

Not being familiar with places and being a young woman, she couldn’t find a place to stay, so she went to a Daoist Temple in the city.

It was a place of peace and solitude, and once inside, even if Gu Dagu wanted to cause trouble, the monks could block her.

Listening to Gu Dagu’s words, even the Lai family servant was baffled. How did Yuan Jinzhi become Lord Lai’s biological daughter?

"Aunty, aunty, you need to go to the front courtyard. Grandfather has had a stroke." Gu Chengli, lacking authority, was completely lost after the Elder Gu’s stroke and came to find the more decisive Gu Dagu, pulling at her to visit Elder Gu in the front courtyard.

Gu Dagu shook off Gu Chengli and said angrily: "Get off! Where’d this brat come from thinking he can just pull me around? Our families are unrelated now. You’re a Gu family seed, but I’m a Lai family’s official’s daughter!"

After saying this, she ignored Gu Chengli and went directly to find Mrs. Gu, and together they went to Gu Chengxian’s courtyard to discuss visiting the Lai family to acknowledge their relation.

Gu Chengxian already knew about Lord Lai and Empress Dowager Gu’s affair and was so angry he nearly spat blood: "God, why do you toy with me like this?"

He was actually an official’s son!

An official’s son, the very identity he had always yearned for. If he’d known earlier, he could have used that identity to trample Gu Jin’an underfoot, making Gu Jin’an, that lowlife, kneel to him and call him master!

But now he already had a terrible disease, what use was the identity of an official’s son?

"Chengxian, we must hurry to acknowledge your real grandfather, we can’t stay in the Old Gu Family any longer, or Sixth Son Gu might kill us." Gu Dagu said worriedly.
