Reincarnation: The Sweet Wife Is A Miracle Doctor-Chapter 243 - 244: Severing Ties 5

Wang Ying, who was in on it with Gu Yuandao, chimed in, "Exactly, my old Gu is so kind-hearted. If he hadn’t kindly taken in Gu Nianyang, she would have died. Our family has done everything for Gu Nianyang, but she can’t live up to expectations and got herself locked up. We announced this truth only because we couldn’t bear it any longer!"

Gu Yuandao lamented with grief, "I was afraid Gu Nianyang would be upset upon learning her true background. I intended to keep this secret for a lifetime, but she’s truly too disappointing.

I raised her, provided for her education, and made sure she could live till now, not to let her ruin our family’s reputation.

To live up to my ancestors, I’ve decided to sever ties with Gu Nianyang, and officially remove her from the Gu family’s ancestry. I hope the villagers can understand my actions today!"

Gu Yuandao and Wang Ying sang the same tune, portraying their Gu family as unbearably kind and doing so just to protect their family’s reputation. Naturally, the villagers would understand and even see them as courageous.

After all, back in those years, people even abandoned or consumed their daughters. To adopt someone else’s unwanted daughter was seen as such a noble character!

Jiang Aiguo jumped out and spat,

"What a dignified explanation! If you were really so responsible, why did you mistreat Yangyang after taking her in, not treating her as a human?

Honestly, you were just afraid a stillborn would tarnish the Gu family’s name, so you took in Yangyang to cover it up!"

This single statement hit the nail on the head, and the look in everyone’s eyes towards the Gu family changed immediately. Gu Yuandao’s face turned red, "I never had such thoughts!"

Wang Ying lashed out like a shrew, "What do you mean, Jiang Aiguo? Our families can be considered relatives, yet you’re siding with an outsider, a bastard child, instead of your own family!"

Were it not for the Jiang family now doing well in business and they’d want a piece of the pie, Wang Ying would surely have cursed out the Jiang family too!

Sun Li, dissatisfied, spoke, "What do you mean by bastard? Yangyang may not be your daughter, but she has parents. As elders, it’s really the Gu family name you’re tarnishing by insulting the younger generation!"

Wang Ying smirked, "Gu Nianyang is indeed a bastard, with a malicious heart, ending up getting herself locked up. I’m being nice by not spitting on her. Whoever wants such a nasty girl can take her, but our Gu family won’t acknowledge her!"

"Oh, really? Well, I couldn’t ask for more~"

Nianyang and Li Tingyan appeared calmly in front of everyone, and the crowd was instantly shocked!

Seeing Nianyang return safe and sound, the Gu family looked as if they had seen a ghost, quivering to the point they could hardly stand.

"Gu Nianyang, how did you come back? Weren’t you locked up for wrongful death?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Gu Youlan screamed out with a pale face, as if the situation had once again spiraled out of expectation.

"Who said I was locked up for wrongful death? Spreading rumors has no cost, so you just make things up?"

Nianyang laughed coldly twice, having heard everything that just transpired here.

She hadn’t expected that while she was agonizing over how to get Gu Yuandao to admit she wasn’t his daughter, they had delivered themselves right to her doorstep today!

Isn’t this like asking for a pillow when you’re sleepy?

"Yangyang, so you weren’t locked up. Where have you been these days?"

The three from the Jiang family snapped back to attention, asking excitedly and thankfully.

"I went to the county to treat someone. The treatment was successful; the patient has already woken up. I’ve been busy handling follow-up these days, so I didn’t get a chance to come back and say something, causing you worry."

Nianyang spoke nonchalantly, omitting the arduous process, so as not to make them anxious, and let the villagers know it was all Gu Youlan spreading falsehoods.
