The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1641 - 1644: Time Is Up

The County Magistrate and the village leader walked up to Gu Wu. The County Magistrate said blandly, "It’s better to meet your end in Beijing. Saves me from having to escort you back. All the tools for escorting prisoners I brought were for nothing!"

Gu Wu: "..."

The village leader sighed and shook his head, standing in front of Gu Wu hesitating to speak. After several attempts, he finally managed to say something.

"Gu Laosan, make your way well. When you get over there, sincerely apologize to your older brother and sister-in-law, and to your wife and father. Only when they’ve forgiven you can you be reincarnated. Otherwise, they’ll be coming after you for debts in the next life. Ah, live a good life in the next life!"

Gu Wu felt completely disheartened, nodding lightly, he reminded the village leader, "The incense is burning low!"

The village leader glanced at the incense and said, "Oh, then I’m leaving."

Finally, it was Gu Shuisheng.

He knelt before Gu Wu and knocked his forehead on the ground three times with crisp sounds before getting up and leaving.

Everything that needed to be said had already been said; he had nothing more to add.

Gu Youyou sat quietly on a clean chair, watching him intently, and asked, "Do you have any questions? Go ahead and ask."

Gu Wu squinted his eyes, looking at Gu Youyou for a long while before he spoke blandly, "Who are you really? You are not my niece, Gu Youyou."

Gu Youyou did not deny it. She nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I am not your niece, Gu Youyou!"

Gu Wu’s pupils instantly dilated, the iron chains on his hands and feet clinking noisily, as he asked excitedly, "Who exactly are you? Where has Gu Youyou gone?"

"Her!" Gu Youyou struggled to find the words. She looked up and blinked back a tear about to fall, took a deep breath, and sighed softly, "She’s probably dead, the whole family is dead, isn’t it all your doing?"

"What did you say?" Gu Wu looked at Gu Youyou, his eyes full of terror.

Gu Youyou laughed heartily, "Are you scared? I’m quite scared too. Do you remember what Huo Li said in the court? Yu Jizi wanted to find the secret to immortality, but unfortunately, he couldn’t, which turned out to be an advantage for me. After you all killed Gu Youyou, I ended up in this young body."

Gu Youyou spun in front of Gu Wu and said, "Look, don’t you think I am her, and she is me? Look how well I fit with this body?"

Gu Wu turned deathly pale and instinctively shrank back.

Gu Youyou whispered, "I’m fine, but she’s not. She’s dead. Do you think she died with a grudge? I bet she did. She was so young, didn’t even get a proper look at this world, and was sent into the darkness by you. Now she might be waiting in a corner down below for you. Once you get there, she’ll strangle you."

Gu Youyou slowly approached Gu Wu, whose face had turned blue from panic and looked terrifying.

"No, don’t come near me. You’re nothing but a vengeful ghost."

Gu Youyou gave a cold laugh, perhaps I am!

"Stay away, help, save me..."

Gu Youyou, with a cold expression, grabbed Gu Wu’s chin and forced the packet of black powder into his mouth.

"What did you make me eat?"

"Something to send you on your way," Gu Youyou said coldly.

"You are not Gu Youyou; you are a vengeful ghost!"

Gu Youyou cast a cold glance and exited the ugly and filthy cell.

Through the bars, she watched indifferently as Gu Wu clutched his neck, struggling bitterly.

As the poison took effect, he began clutching his entire body. In no time, a thick layer of frost formed over him.
