The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 514 I won’t die until I reach the Yellow River

Gu Fengnian handed Jia to Wei to support and walked out.

"Wait." Wei called Gu Fengnian and looked at Old Man Gu steadily, saying slowly, "Grandpa, the Zheng family is a wealthy family in Pingchuan. Their young mistress and Ruinian... How can Fengnian find out? If people hear that Fengnian and Ruinian are brothers, won't Fengnian be able to escape?"

Mr. Gu was just panicking, and only after Wei reminded him did he realize that he should not ask rashly.

The hateful thing is that they have no connections in Pingchuan.

Ask the Wu family for help?

I’m afraid that the Wu family can’t reach the Zheng family even in Pingchuan.

"Then I'll go call dad and let him make a decision." Gu Fengnian said.

Gu Fengnian has always been at a loss. When Old Man Gu asked him to go to the Zheng family to inquire, he went. Now that Old Man Gu doesn't let him go, he can only go to Gu Youtian.

"Don't go. Don't let your father know." Jia took a breath and shouted hurriedly, "Don't go and call your father."

If this were true, Gu Youtian would beat Gu Ruinian to death.

Wei said, "Father will know sooner or later. If he knew earlier, he could have rescued my second brother earlier."

Jia suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, "It's not Ruinian, it's not Ruinian, it's Jingzhe, someone outside must have misspoken."

Jia's bloodshot look successfully scared Wu Na away.

Wei was speechless. It was already a foregone conclusion, yet she still said it was someone else's Jingzhe Festival. Her mother-in-law would not give up until she reached the Yellow River.

"Fengnian, this matter must be discussed with father. You go and call dad, and I will take care of mother." Wei asked Gu Fengnian to call Gu Youtian regardless of the consequences.

Gu Fengnian looked at his mother who was crying bitterly, and at Old Lady Gu who was wiping her tears, then he gritted his teeth and went to the shop to look for Gu Youtian.

Gu Youtian was taking inventory of the goods. He was thinking about how to convince Wu Ren to agree to change the name of the shop. Then the Wu family would return to Heilongtan, and he, Gu Youtian, would take full control of the shop.

Gu Youtian has been thinking about this matter these days and has no time to pay attention to other things. He didn't even ask about it even if his youngest son went to the home of a wealthy family.

I was dazed for a moment when I suddenly heard from Gu Fengnian that the eldest lady of the Zheng family and Gu Ruinian had violated ethics and were caught.

Who is Madam Zheng?

How could he be related to his youngest son?

Gu Fengnian said it again, and Gu Youtian understood that his youngest son had slept with Xu Zaohua, the daughter of Xu Jin, the former village chief of Qinghewan, and was caught by Xu Zaohua's in-laws.

Gu Youtian was so angry that he wanted to chop this unfilial son into pieces with a knife.

The Wu family's bad reputation has dragged down Wu Ji during this period. Whenever he could straighten his back a little in front of Wu Ren, this unfilial son would hit him with a club.

Gu Youtian and Gu Fengnian returned to the second room in the backyard, where the whole family was.

Mrs. Jia and Old Lady Gu were crying, and Old Man Gu looked very worried.

"His father, Ruinian would not do such a thing. It must be the shameless widow Zaohua who seduced him." When Jia saw Gu Youtian coming, she quickly defended Gu Ruinian.

Gu Honglian muttered, "Xu Zaohua flirted with him and he took the bait. What's wrong with his brain? It seems like he didn't fail the imperial examination for no reason."

Jia glared at Gu Honglian fiercely.

"Okay, Honglian, stop making trouble." Old Master Gu was afraid that this silly girl might provoke Jia to do something bad.

Wei said nothing, she felt her aunt was right.

If he were Liu Xiahui, no one would be able to seduce him.

Gu Youtian's head was buzzing with anger.

Shameful, so shameful!

How could his son do such a shameful thing?

Just do it, you can't get caught.

Jia cried, "I remember now. Ruinian told me before that he was friends with the second young man Lian and went to the Lian family to keep the second young master Lian company. That Lian family was the Lian family that matchmaker Wang came to our house to arrange a marriage for Ruinian and the second young lady of the Lian family. Since Ruinian was in the Lian family, how could he be seduced away by Zaohua? His father, please find a reliable person to ask around, make sure he heard it wrongly."

Jia worshipped all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in her heart. If it was really Ruinian, she hoped that the woman was Miss Lian Er and Xu Zaohua was a misunderstanding.

If it's the matter of the second young lady, there's no need to worry. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Even if the son is beaten, he can still get a daughter-in-law for free.

Wei couldn't help but break her mother-in-law's fantasy and said, "I heard that he was caught in the Lian family's yard, and the Lian family handed him over to the Zheng family."

This news almost made Jia vomit blood.

"I'm working so hard, but he's just out there making a fuss."

"Where can I go to find out? I might as well let him die outside. What a disgrace."

No matter how much Gu Youtian cursed and hated, she finally couldn't stand the persuasion of Mr. Gu and the tears of Mrs. Gu, and went to Wu Ren.

Living in a backyard, Wu Ren heard the noise from the Gu family, but he didn't even think about the gossip about Madam Zheng and her childhood sweetheart.

Wu Na didn't tell anyone when she got home, for she was afraid that if she told them, there would no longer be any possibility for her and Gu Ruinian to be together.

Before she could decide whether to say it or not, Gu Youtian came to her door.

After Tani Arita explained his purpose, Wu Ren was about to explode.

He didn't care which widow the second son of the Gu family slept with. What he was worried about was that the news would spread that it was Gu Ruinian, the son of Wu Ji's partner. Wouldn't that make Wu Ji's precarious business even worse?

He had been expecting Pingchuan County to come out with even more explosive news to cover up the rumors about the Wu family, and then Wu Ji would come up with another idea.

Unexpectedly, an even more explosive scandal came out, but the male protagonist is still revolving around Wu Ji?

What’s going on? Wu Ji has monopolized all the headlines in Pingchuan. Now, no one can forget Wu Ji even if they want to.

How can I turn things around?

"I don't know anyone from the Zheng family, let alone anyone related to the Zheng family." Wu Ren flatly rejected Gu Youtian's request for him to ask someone to go to the Zheng family to inquire about Gu Ruinian's news.

If one really wants to find out the relationship, he can do it. Since he is not Wu Ren's son, why would he bother with that?

He wished that Gu Ruinian would dash his head and die in Madam Zheng's arms, so that he could gain the reputation of a lovesick man and bring good reputation to Wu Ji.

Mr. Gu and others were waiting for news from Gu Youtian, but their hopes were dashed when they saw Gu Youtian coming back in silence.

Jia burst into tears again on the spot.

Wei watched coldly, she knew that her brother-in-law had always had an inexplicable resentment towards the Gu family, thinking that this family was not worthy of him, and he was bent on climbing up the social ladder. She really didn't expect that Gu Ruinian was so bold as to get involved with the young lady of a wealthy family.

Jia's crying made Wei upset, and she thought, what's the point of crying?

There are ready-made people in Pingchuan now, so they don’t ask for them.

Any one of the people in the eldest wife's house would be more effective than Wu Ren in asking for help. Needless to say, even County Magistrate Liu was polite to the eldest lady. Ruinian was a scholar and did not have to kneel when he saw an official. Gu Taohua, as the second owner of Jufulai, was very cordial in welcoming and seeing off all the ladies who came and went.

If he were to put aside his pride and ask for help from the first wife, perhaps the situation would still have a chance of turning around for her sake.

But even if they were to beg for mercy, would the eldest wife help?
