Chapter 57 I'm Uncultured

"Aunt Zhao, quickly help Grandma inside to rest."

Seeing the old lady's unsteady appearance, Gu Shuyan hurriedly had someone help her leave.

"Erlang, let's go too. Otherwise, when the old lady lies down there, she'll say it's because you made her sick."

Aunt Gu, not wanting to miss out on trouble, tugged at Master Gu, her coquettish manner making Gu Shuyan feel nauseous.

How old are you? Don't you look at the wrinkles on your face? Do you still think you're a teenage girl?

"What do you mean by that, Madam? Isn't Grandmother angered by you all?"

As a junior, Gu Shuyan originally did not intend to get involved.

But since they've gone so far as to bully her, how could she remain silent if she didn't say anything? She was only worthy of the old lady's affection.

Furthermore, she didn't want her home to be turned into a mess by these people.

"Second Brother, look, I told you we couldn't possibly be worthy of the Marquis's mansion. Even a junior can criticize us to our faces. Do you want my son and I to have to live at the mercy of others from now on?"

Aunt Gu had not forgotten Gu Shuyan, who had remained silent when the old lady scolded her earlier.

She's just a little brat, and she dares to talk back to her. She's not sure she can't teach her a lesson.

"Shut up. You keep saying you can't reach me, and you still shamelessly pester my second uncle."

Gu Shuyan wouldn't give this woman any face; daring to cause trouble for her grandmother was the least of her worries.

“Erlang, look at her! At such a young age, she dares to speak ill of her elders like this. I, I have no face to live.”

Aunt Gu looked aggrieved and pretended to bang her head against the wall.

Uncle Gu couldn't bear to see his wife suffer, so he quickly hugged her and turned to scold Gu Shuyan.

However, Gu Shuyan spoke first: "If you want to die, go outside and don't dirty the grounds of my Marquis's mansion. A mistress who has never even entered the house dares to call herself my elder. What kind of person are you?"

Gu Shuyan's words were a real slap in the face to Gu Ershen.

Although she has always considered herself Gu Ershu's wife, everyone in the capital knows that the old lady forbade her from entering the family back then.

The daughter of a small-time merchant is considered to be marrying up to a wealthy businessman. If it weren't for Uncle Gu taking a liking to her, she wouldn't even be able to enter the gates of the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion.

"Second Brother, your niece is trying to force me to my death! I have followed you faithfully all these years and borne you three children, but now she says I'm not even as good as a servant."

Aunt Gu was truly wronged this time. Back then, she and Uncle Gu did value the power of the Marquis's mansion, but over the years, she had never looked down on Uncle Gu.

"If you're going to wail, get out. Don't wail here. I'll tell you the truth: I just don't like you. What? You think just anyone can walk through the gates of our Marquis's mansion?"

"Shut up! Disrespecting your elders, is this your upbringing?"

After listening for a while, Uncle Gu had long disliked his niece Gu Shuyan. Now, seeing Gu Shuyan saying increasingly unpleasant things, Uncle Gu could no longer help but stand up for his wife.

Looking at her second uncle, Gu Shuyan really didn't know how the Marquis's family, full of loyal and righteous men, had ended up with such a scoundrel as Second Master Gu.

However, she wasn't going to let it go so easily. If she wanted to mess with her, then they'd see who was more of a scoundrel.

"Yes, I am ill-mannered. I grew up in the countryside, unlike my second uncle who was raised by well-educated and courteous parents. But, second uncle, you entered the house and blamed your stepmother without even asking what happened. You didn't even greet her first, and you let your mistress cause a ruckus in Yunxiang Courtyard. Is this your upbringing?"
