"Gu Lan, have you had enough of this?"
Old Man Gu slapped Gu Lan in anger, and Gu Lan woke up with a start.
She glanced at the smelly child in her hands and threw it away in a hurry.
She looked around and saw Fan. She ran to her side and started crying, "Mother, I have nothing left. I have nothing left."
Fan was still very annoyed. Gu Lan was acting crazy and had broken countless things in the house. She also made them unable to sleep well.
She wished she could send Gu Lan back to Zhao Qian immediately.
"Look at what you look like now. How can Mr. Zhao still care about you in this state?" Fan threw a mirror to Gu Lan.
Gu Lan looked at her disheveled self in the mirror and screamed, smashing the mirror: "No, this is not me, I am not like this!"
Mrs. Fan looked at the broken mirror on the ground and felt very sad.
If I had known this, I would not have let Gu Lan look in the mirror. This mirror was bought by Gu Lan at Qinyuanfang before. It reflects clearer images than a bronze mirror, and you can even see the facial features clearly.
The item is certainly good, but it is not cheap at all. The one that Gu Lan broke would cost several taels to buy.
She had always been very precious to her, but who knew that she would be smashed to pieces once she fell into Gu Lan's hands.
Old Man Gu looked at Gu Lan and snorted coldly: "You crazy woman, lock her up and don't go out and embarrass yourself."
If Gu Lan hadn't gone out today with a dead baby in her arms to show off everywhere, saying that she was going to be the Crown Prince's wife and that her child was very pretty, causing everyone in the village to laugh at the old Gu family for having a crazy woman, Old Man Gu wouldn't have been angry and hit Gu Lan.
Fan also felt that if Gu Lan was still going crazy, she should not be allowed to go out, so as to avoid making another joke.
Suddenly, a dirty hand grabbed Fan's hand, frightening her so much that she pushed Gu Lan away forcefully: "Get out of the way, you dirty guy."
Gu Lan looked at Fan in shock. Was she still the mother who loved her?
"Mom, I want to take a shower."
"If you want to take a bath, go boil water yourself." Fan said impatiently.
Gu Lan looked at Fan, who was looking disgusted, and her eyes darkened, with a hint of hatred flashing in them.
When she was with Zhao Qian and had everything she wanted, her whole family treated her very well, fearing that she would fall.
He used to speak to her respectfully, not be so indifferent like he is now.
Now that she was in trouble, they thought Zhao Qian didn't want her anymore and began to despise her.
She snorted in her heart. She still had a secret weapon. As long as she returned to Zhao Qian, she would be able to regain Zhao Qian's favor. Then she would ignore everyone and let them cry for their parents.
Gu Lan went to boil water for a bath. It was not like she had not done this kind of thing before. She boiled a large pot of water for herself in no time, washed herself clean, changed into clean and nice clothes, and put on beautiful makeup.
"Oh no, something terrible has happened." Gu Ping's younger brother stumbled in.
"Speak nicely, what's wrong with Gu Ping?" asked old man Gu.
Gu Ping's younger brother swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and then said, "The boss was arrested. They said he was cheating at gambling. They said that if you don't have a hundred or so taels, don't even think about bringing him back."
Old man Gu fainted and almost passed out.
Then Gu Ping has never done anything good!
"One hundred taels?" Fan's legs went weak. Oh my God, she had never seen a hundred taels in her life.
"Where did we get the hundred taels?" cried Fan.
Gu Ping's younger brother hurriedly said, "The boss said to find Gu Lan."
Mrs. Fan and Old Man Gu exchanged a glance. It seemed that they really had no choice but to go to Gu Lan. But Gu Lan was acting crazy, so how could she be of any help? But if they didn't go to Gu Lan at this time, they didn't know who else to go to.
As Fan and Old Man Gu walked towards Gu Lan's room, they said, "It's been so long. Gu An should have finished the provincial examination long ago. Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Old Man Gu thought for a moment and said, "You won't allow him to prepare for next year's Spring Examination in the county town?"
When Fan thought about it, she couldn't help but smile: "If this is true, it would be a good thing."
However, Gu An hasn't asked them for money for such a long time, and he doesn't know if the money is enough.
"Why don't you take Gu Lan to see a doctor? Otherwise, we don't know when her madness will be cured." said Mrs. Fan.
Old Man Gu nodded: "That's right."
They didn't knock on the door and pushed it open to Gu Lan's room, only to see Gu Lan dressed neatly and packing her things.
"Gu Lan?" Fan called out in disbelief.
Gu Lan turned her head and looked at Fan: "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Fan was startled and looked at Gu Lan in shock. The child looked normal. Could it be that he was fine?
"If you're well, go and get Mr. Zhao and ask him to help your brother. Your brother was..."
Before Old Man Gu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Lan: "I will naturally go to find Mr. Zhao, but I didn't promise to help. If you want my help, you must kneel down and beg me."
Old Man Gu was slightly startled, but quickly reacted.
He raised his hand and swung it at Gu Lan: "You evil creature, how dare you talk to me like that?"
But he had suffered a stroke before, and his movements were slow, so he was blocked by Gu Lan, who pushed him and said, "You are just leeches sucking my blood. You kicked me away because you saw that I was of no use.
Something happened now? Are you looking for me again? No! "
"Gu Lan, he is your father!" Fan looked at the old man Gu who was pushed to the ground by Gu Lan with heartache.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the house, and heard the villagers running in happily: "Congratulations to Gu Jieyuan, Gu Jieyuan is both civil and military, a pillar of the country."
As several villagers spoke, they stretched out their hands towards Old Man Gu and Mrs. Fan, who were still a little slow to react.
"Who is Gu Jieyuan?"
"Who else could it be? Isn't that your Gu An? Tell me, who else participated in the Autumn Examination this year? Isn't your Gu An the only one in the whole village?" said the villager.
The other villagers also started discussing it.
They were the ones who brought the officials to deliver the wedding gifts, and they would have to ask the Gu family to give them some benefits later.
As soon as Old Man Gu was helped up by Fan, he ran out happily, muttering, "Our Gu An has won the first place in the imperial examination, he has won the first place in the imperial examination, so he will become an official in the future."
Fan finally reacted. She glanced at Gu Lan and said, "They say a daughter's family is her support after she gets married. Your third brother is in high school now. If you're not crazy, you'll know what to do!"
Gu Lan was stunned, the light in her eyes flickering.
