"Why are you making such a fuss, child? Your mother's life is in danger! Hurry up and take your Uncle Xin there!" Cai Lian really wanted to see a show.
"Let's go!" Knowing his wife's meaning, Gu Shouxin had no choice but to cooperate.
"But Aunt Cai, Sister Gu Nian, Sister Gu Xin, you..."
“I know your mother can’t stand to see me, I’m not going!” Cai Lian shook her head.
"I'm so sorry, Aunt Cai, Sister Gu Nian, Sister Gu Xin, it's all my mother's fault. I hope you can forgive her!" With that, Jiang Shuyu turned and got into the carriage.
Her maid gestured for her to enter.
Gu Shouxin didn't get into the carriage, but instead sat outside in the seat where he was driving with the driver.
"Niannian, Xinxin, let's go find Zhou Yuan!" Cai Lian went back into the house to get the key and called her daughter.
"Mom, what do you want with Brother Yuanyuan? Do you want him to help us beat up that wicked woman and her daughter?" Gu Xin asked.
"Silly! Only your brother Yuanyuan has a carriage and can catch up with them. Isn't Mother here to watch the play? Let's go!" Gu Nian pulled her younger sister.
When the mother and her two daughters passed by the old house, Gu Nian climbed over the wall and called Gu Hui and Gu Si, who were just about to go to sleep.
The lights were off in all the other rooms of the old house.
The three sisters climbed over the wall and ran towards Lu Zheng's house.
"Lanlan, didn't Niannian just climb over the wall and then take Huihui and Sisi back over it?" Grandpa Gu was in the outhouse when he witnessed this.
"I just saw Xie Jiaoniang's daughter arrive. Those girls are no match for one young lady," Grandma Gu said.
"Huh? We're not going to do anything about it? What if the second son is just as reckless as before..."
"Brother Chuan, it won't happen again." Grandma Gu patted Grandpa Gu's hand and said, "Now that the second son's wife is established, it's fine. If the second son really was such a scoundrel and ran off with that woman, it would be his loss. The children are all grown up. We can stop him once or twice, but we can't stop him forever. Now that the second son's wife is independent, we can hand the second son over to her to manage. Those girls aren't pushovers either. If the second son dares to act recklessly, those girls will definitely beat him with sacks!"
"That's true. They still have all sorts of powders and pills that Sister Xiao gave them. Hopefully, the second son won't try them!" Grandpa Gu chuckled.
Concern can cloud judgment. Looking back now, I realize my second child has truly come to terms with things and is different from before.
They've worried about him their whole lives. The second son is over thirty now, and it's time for him to walk his own path in the future.
Grandpa Gu tucked the blanket around Grandma Gu: "Cover yourself up, it's warm now, it'll still be chilly at night. Go to sleep!"
Grandma Gu closed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, and fell asleep.
...
Lu Zheng drove the carriage, listening to the girls inside chattering about the scenes they imagined would happen, unsure whether to laugh or not.
Did Aunt Lian send Second Uncle directly?
Did he even bring a few maids to watch?
Where did Aunt Lian, this tough woman, come from?!
Fortunately, Xin Xin spoke quickly and said that it was Aunt Lian who sent Second Uncle. Otherwise, she was thinking that if Second Uncle had gone by himself, she would have knocked him out and carried him back.
Can he beat his second uncle?
"Aunt Lian, do you see that carriage up ahead?" Soon, Lu Zheng saw a carriage ahead with a faint oil lamp hanging behind it.
“It’s that one. I just saw it. The oil lamps on the back of their cars are that style.” Cai Lian lifted the car curtain, looked, and confirmed.
"Hmph! I'm going to beat that Jiang Shuyu's head in a bit! She even told my dad about me and my sister!" Gu Xin cracked her knuckles.
Lu Zheng: I have a feeling that Xin Xin is capable of this. I'm going to smash Yuan Yuan's head in!
