"Mrs. Gu?"
Ye Jintang looked confused and had no idea who this Mrs. Gu was.
"Mrs. Gu is the master's biological sister. The girl can be called grandma."
Aunt Ji gave an overview of what happened to Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu married Gu Xiucai of Xingna City. At that time, she thought that Gu Xiucai would be a scholar at a young age. In the future, he would definitely become a high school scholar and become an official, and he would also be able to support the Wen family.
Who would have thought that decades later, Gu Xiucai would still be Gu Xiucai, not even passing the examination.
Moreover, Gu Xiucai's entire family relies on subsidies from the Wen family.
According to taking care of scholars, he will have to take the imperial examination in the future, so how can he run around for a living.
Not to mention that he had no ability to support his family, Gu Xiucai had a concubine in the left room and a concubine in another room. In the past few years, he had brought four concubines into the hospital.
When Nanny Ji mentioned the Gu family affairs, she also had a look of disdain on her face. She told Ye Jintang exactly what happened with the Gu family, without any intention of helping them hide their shame.
"The girl Gu who came today is named Wan'er. She is Mrs. Gu's granddaughter. Mrs. Gu has always liked Miss Wan'er and wanted her to marry into the Wen family."
"I see."
Ye Jintang knew in his heart that he was here for Wen Ziqiu and had nothing to do with her.
"I've met my great-aunt, and I've met my cousin Wan'er."
As soon as they entered the room, Ye Jintang obediently stepped forward to salute the two of them.
"This is Jintang. She's really good-looking and well-behaved. Come over here and show me."
Mrs. Gu took Ye Jintang's hand enthusiastically and started talking about the Ye family.
"I heard that all the dozen or so members of the Ye family died of hysteria overnight, and you were the only one left."
"According to the older generation, your destiny is too tough, and even the King of Hell dare not accept you. Grandma heard that people like you who have a tough destiny should go to temples to burn incense more often, and to set up porridge shacks outside the city to give alms. Poor people.”
"If you do more good deeds, it will naturally help you remove your karma."
Ye Jintang smiled softly and pulled his hand out of Mrs. Gu's hand.
"Grandma, please don't believe the rumors outside. More than a dozen members of our Ye family were deliberately poisoned to death. The reason why I survived was because I was not feeling well that day and did not drink any poisoned water."
"The case is clear and the murderer has been brought to justice. If grandma doesn't believe it, you can send someone to inquire."
"These things have nothing to do with whether my life is tough or not. My aunt is so old that she can't even tell this."
Ye Jintang sat on the chair next to Mr. Wen and kicked Mrs. Gu's nails back gently or hard.
Mrs. Gu was afraid that she would be disappointed if she wanted to embarrass her verbally.
After Ye Jintang finished speaking, Mrs. Gu was obviously taken aback. She didn't expect that a little orphan girl like her was so smooth-talking, which made her speechless.
Madam Gu wanted to teach Ye Jintang a few words, but was interrupted by Mr. Wen.
"I don't like what Fourth Sister said. My Jintang's life is good. She will return to Danyang Houfu in a few days. By then she will be the direct daughter of Danyang Houfu."
How could Mr. Wen fail to see that the purpose of Mrs. Gu's visit was just to inquire about whether he intended to let Ye Jintang stay in the Wen family.
Now that she understands her words clearly, she doesn't have to carry a gun and a stick when speaking to Ye Jintang.
"I was the one who was rude. I did this for Jintang's own good. A girl's reputation is the most important thing. Don't let this incident ruin Jintang's reputation."
"Okay, the matter is over, don't mention it again."
Mr. Wen has finally recovered from the pain of losing his daughter in the past few days, and he does not want Mrs. Gu to reveal his pain again.
Ye Jintang curled his lips imperceptibly. Mrs. Gu was really annoying. Her reputation had nothing to do with her. Her grandfather was still here, so no matter what, it was not her turn to worry.
After everyone exchanged a few words, Ye Jintang took Gu Wan'er to play in the back garden, and Mrs. Gu explained her purpose.
"My family is not at peace these days. I want Wan'er to stay with you for a few days."
"What's Gu Xiucai causing trouble again?"
"What else can he do to cause trouble? He just wants to bring a concubine into the backyard."
Mrs. Gu's face turned ferocious when she mentioned this matter.
Gu Xiucai had half his foot in the coffin, but he was still dishonest.
When I was visiting a brothel a few days ago, I fell in love with a young and beautiful girl.
After seeing her once, she became obsessed with her and desperately tried to redeem her body and bring her into the house as a concubine.
"Brother, what do you think this is all about? He doesn't despise a lowly prostitute and wants to bring her into the house as a concubine. He doesn't think it's embarrassing, but I still think it's embarrassing."
"This time I will fight with him. If he dares to bring that little bitch into the house, I will kill him immediately."
Mrs. Gu changed her tone and talked about Gu Wan'er again.
"The house is full of chaos. Wan'er can't help but feel angry at home. After the matter is settled, I will come to take Wan'er back."
"What a nonsense. Gu Xiucai is so young and there are so many warblers and swallows in the backyard. He is afraid that he will not die quickly enough."
Mr. Wen was so angry that his beard almost stood up. Gu Xiucai had done a lot of things over the years, so as long as they were innocuous, he would tolerate them.
On the contrary, his nose and face were rising, and he could not see himself more and more clearly.
"Wan'er is a good girl, but with such a rebellious grandfather, I'm afraid she will be hindered in her marriage in the future."
"Brother, I still need your help in the future. Otherwise, how can I, an old woman, support the Gu family?"
Mr. Wen naturally knows what Mrs. Gu means.
But with the Gu family's appearance, he was really hesitant.
Sometimes getting married is really a gamble, and a bad bet can turn into enmity.
"Let Ziqiu handle this for you. If Gu Xiucai is causing trouble, don't blame me, the Wen family, for being unkind."
On the other side, Ye Jintang and Gu Wan'er were strolling in the backyard garden.
Gu Wan'er is two years older than Ye Jintang, and is only a teenage girl.
The two were wandering in the back garden. Gu Wan'er was very talkative. He asked Ye Jintang about the situation at home and what her future plans were.
"Will my cousin live in the Wen family permanently from now on?"
"It hasn't been decided yet."
"Logically speaking, your surname is Ye, so it's a bit inappropriate to live in the Wen family."
"Oh? What's wrong with that? I'm not staying at my grandfather's house for as long as I want."
The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wan'er's words were all probing. Ye Jintang thought that Mrs. Gu and Gu Wan'er would not think that she wanted to marry Wen Ziqiu, so she tried many ways to test her.
"It's not a question of how long we'll live here, but it's just that my sister's grandmother is still alive. There's no reason why my sister will marry from her maternal grandfather's family when she gets married."
"Then if I marry cousin Ziqiu, I won't have to think about where to get married."
Ye Jintang said this just to make Gu Wan'er angry.
Just now in the room, Mrs. Gu wanted to embarrass her verbally, but now Gu Wan'er tried to test her in a roundabout way. She couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes and would never spoil anyone.
If Gu Wan'er makes her unhappy, then she will cause trouble for her.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Wan'er's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Do you really want to marry cousin Ziqiu?"
"What? No?"
"Of course not, cousin Ziqiu is mine."
Gu Wan'er's eyes turned red instantly. She bit her lip tightly, looking like she was about to cry.
She had the leisure to test her just now, so why did she cry when she turned around?
Ye Jintang was speechless, and Gu Wan'er was too squeamish.
Ye Jintang, who was too old to bully a little girl, said speechlessly, "Why are you crying? You haven't said goodbye to cousin Ziqiu, or are you saying that you have liked cousin Ziqiu for a long time?"
