Granny Gu looked at Gu Xiu, whose face was pale.
Seeing that he nodded slightly, Granny Gu sighed and said, "Princess, this is Gu Xiu's family matter and should not be discussed with outsiders. However, since you saved Gu Xiu and allowed him to live to this day, it wouldn't hurt for you to know about it."
"Come with this old woman."
As she spoke, Grandma Gu slowly walked away, leaning on her cane.
Upon seeing this, Princess Longyuan immediately followed.
Long Yuan was a little embarrassed.
It's simply because it's someone else's family matter.
But Granny Gu's words made her even more curious.
The girl's gossipy nature was also aroused and ignited.
The two passed by a place where dozens of villagers were resting, and then arrived at the steps of the main hall.
Grandma Gu, leaning on her cane and supported by the young girl Long Yuan, sat down on a set of steps.
Recalling the past, Granny Gu sighed softly and said, "Princess, in retrospect, these are all sins."
"Um?"
Princess Longyuan was taken aback.
Why did she call it a karmic burden?
When Granny Gu spoke, she listened quietly again.
Grandma Gu said in a hoarse voice, "Gu Xiu is a child I've watched grow up. Back then, seeing that he had good talent, I lent him some of my family's secret manuals."
"He did not let his wife down. After he started learning martial arts, he and some other martial artists in the village took on the responsibility of protecting the village."
About twenty years ago, Gu Xiu met a woman who came from afar. The woman was extremely beautiful, and Gu Xiu fell in love with her at first sight and they became husband and wife. She was also Gu Xiu's first wife.
"His first wife was the most beautiful and kindest woman I have ever met. Later, they had children."
"He is a very sensible boy who greets his neighbors with a smile every day."
"The old woman loves that child very much. Everyone in the village envies Gu Xiu for having such a good family."
Princess Longyuan listened quietly.
You can tell from their voices that the family is truly happy.
I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to find a happy and perfect love in the future.
At this moment, Granny Gu sighed and said, "But later, Gu Xiu became obsessed with a rich girl in town."
"At first, he was just having a secret rendezvous with that rich girl."
"But secrets don't stay hidden forever. Before long, the villagers gradually found out about it, and his wife found out too."
"His wife wanted him to break off his relationship with the rich girl. He outwardly agreed, but continued to do as he pleased until the rich girl became pregnant."
"Later, the rich girl, pregnant and accompanied by her servants, came to Gu Xiu's house. In front of the neighbors and Gu Xiu's wife, she demanded that Gu Xiu marry her."
What?
As the aged voice recounted the events of that year, Princess Longyuan gradually learned about what had happened.
She was also surprised.
The story was completely different from what I had imagined.
Furthermore, Gu Xiu appears to be a dignified man, yet he did such a thing back then.
Although Princess Long Yuan is over a hundred years old, she is still considered a young girl by the standards of the dragon race.
When it comes to matters of the heart, I'm like a blank sheet of paper.
Clearly, the things Granny Gu talked about had shaken her worldview.
"And then?" Princess Longyuan asked again.
Granny Gu said, "Later, Gu Xiu's first wife drove those people away. But in the end, she also fell ill with depression and never recovered. She was bedridden for several months, and then she passed away..."
What?!
Princess Long Yuan's body trembled.
In the distance, Gu Xiu, lying in the corner, coughed painfully.
He obviously heard all of this too.
As the old woman recounted her story, he recalled what had happened back then.
Princess Long Yuan glanced at Gu Xiu in the distance, frowned, and her face showed indignation.
"How could this man do this!"
"His wife died because of him, he's utterly despicable!"
"And then what happened? Oh, right, he had another child, didn't he? What happened to him?"
Granny Gu sighed, "Gu Xiu has two children. One is Gu Jian, born to his first wife. He was only three years old when his first wife passed away. The other is Gu Xue, born to that rich man's daughter."
At this point, Granny Gu added, "Not long after his first wife passed away, Gu Xiu remarried and married a wealthy young lady."
"That rich girl disliked Gu Jian very much. Later, Gu Xiu sent him away."
Princess Longyuan asked, "Where was it delivered?"
Granny Gu shook her head and said, "It is said that she was given to a distant relative to raise, but I don't know the specifics."
Princess Longyuan clenched her fists, her expression turning indignant.
She was unaware that Gu Xiu had abandoned his son in a dilapidated temple.
Even just sending her away was unacceptable to her.
How could there be such a person in the world?
Not long after his first wife died, he married the woman he had previously been having an affair with.
To please his new lover, he even sent his own son away?
"I never expected that I would save such a person."
Princess Longyuan became furious.
The pure dragon princess has a kind of mental fastidiousness.
In her view, her father must be kind and loving towards his children, just like her own father, the emperor.
But in order to please his new lover, this man actually sent away his three-year-old child.
Princess Long Yuan glanced at Gu Xiu lying on the ground, and an indignant expression appeared on her face.
"Grandma Gu, so this is what kind of person he is. If I had known this, I would never have saved him."
"From now on, I will not give him a single pill."
"Let him fend for himself."
