Gu Yunran's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this old hag knew that she went to see Mu Qianchen last night?
Gu Yunran looked at Zhuye, who shook her head.
Since the old woman didn't know, Gu Yunran breathed a sigh of relief.
She said coldly: "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? Dare I ask what my daughter-in-law did wrong?"
Before Madam Lu could say anything, Lu Qingzhou clenched his fists, rushed to Gu Yunran, and raised his hand to hit her in the face.
"Evil woman, you did a good thing, and you still pretend to be innocent?"
However, Lu Qingzhou's outstretched hand was caught by another hand.
Taohua twisted Lu Qingzhou's arm, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Bitch, let me go!"
Taohua said nothing, but increased the strength in her hands until Gu Yunran said to her, "Let the Fourth Master go."
"yes!"
As Taohua let go, Lu Qingzhou stumbled and fell to the ground.
Seeing her son fall, Mrs. Lu felt extremely distressed.
"Rebellion!" she roared.
She was so angry that her body was shaking, and she shouted at the door: "Hurry up and drag this bitch out and beat her with a stick."
Five servants came in, two of them holding thick hemp ropes and three holding wooden boards. They gathered together to catch Taohua, but as soon as they walked in, Taohua knocked them to the ground in a few moves.
"Whose food are you eating?" Gu Yunran asked.
Several servants glanced at Madam Lu, then looked at Gu Yunran and whispered, "Lu family's meal."
"Bullshit!" Gu Yunran shouted angrily, rarely swearing.
"You guys are eating my, Gu Yunran's, meal."
"For so many years, it was me, Gu Yunran, who relied on the dowry I brought with me to run the business and support the Lu family."
Several servants lowered their heads.
They couldn't refute it.
Madam Lu gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Yunran, since you've married into the Lu Mansion, you're a member of the Lu family. The dowry you brought is naturally from the Lu family, and the income from your business is also from the Lu family. What's wrong with them eating the Lu family's food?"
"Besides, don't think that our Lu Mansion can't survive without you."
Gu Yunran reached out and took out a large chain of key badges from her waist and placed them on the stone table beside her: "Since mother-in-law said so, the power of household affairs will be handed over to you."
Old Madam Lu almost couldn't breathe. As an old country woman, she didn't care about this at all. But the words had already been said, so she could only grit her teeth and take back the badge.
"Gu Yunran, letting you be the housekeeper is giving you face. Since you don't know what's good for you, forget it."
Gu Yunran said "hmm" calmly, then turned to look outside the courtyard and ordered, "Chen Mo, pay them this month's wages and let them go."
"yes."
Chen Mo had been standing at the gate of the yard. When he heard Gu Yunran's words, he waved his hand and five young male servants came in and dragged the old men out.
"Madam, I am wrong."
Several servants cried out sadly, begging for Gu Yunran's forgiveness.
Gu Yunran had a cold face. Many servants in this mansion ate and drank her food, but they didn't know who the real master was, and helped the Lu family to bully her.
Today, she will clean up the mess without mercy.
After dealing with the servants, Gu Yunran looked at Old Madam Lu and asked, "Mother-in-law, why did you come to my yard so early in the morning to make trouble? What's the matter?"
Only then did Mrs. Lu remember that she had come to settle accounts with Gu Yunran.
She said angrily, "Gu Yunran, how can you be so cruel? It's just a child, and you won't let it go?"
"Mother-in-law, I don't understand what you are talking about." Gu Yunran was confused.
Zhuye was about to speak when Lu Qingzhou finally got up from the ground, holding his buttocks that were about to be broken, and said fiercely: "Chang Zhi is dead."
That child died?
Gu Yunran was stunned. It was really pitiful that such a young child died.
"How did he die?" Gu Yunran asked curiously.
Lu Qingzhou sneered: "Gu Yunran, don't pretend to be confused..."
Before he could finish his words, a figure rushed in front of Gu Yunran, hugged her and tried to tear her hair.
"Gu Yunran, you vicious woman, you killed my child. How could you be so cruel?"
"You must compensate me for my child."
It was Fan Meiniang. Her hair was disheveled and she looked like a madman.
Taohua was quick-eyed and quick-handed. The moment Fan Meiniang hugged Gu Yunran, she kicked Fan Meiniang in the stomach and kicked her away. Fan Meiniang fell to the ground with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
She didn't feel any pain, and stood up and pounced on Gu Yunran again. Taohua stood in front of Gu Yunran with a cold face. If she dared to pounce on her again, she would make her lie in bed for half a month without being able to get up.
Lu Qingzhou saw the cruelty in Taohua's eyes, and he went up to stop Fan Meiniang, "Meiniang, don't be impulsive."
"My children are dead, how can I not be impulsive?"
Lu Qingzhou hugged her, patted her back, and comforted her: "Don't worry, whoever harms Chang Zhi will pay the price. I have sent someone to report to the police."
As he said this, Lu Qingzhou stared at Gu Yunran with his murderous eyes.
Gu Yunran was baffled: "Lu Qingzhou, what do you mean by that?"
Lu Qingzhou gnashed his teeth and said, "Did you send someone to get the medicine that Chang Zhi took for the last three days?"
Gu Yunran nodded: "Yes."
When Zhuye went to get the medicine, she asked Zhuye to bring it back with her.
"The medicine was poisonous and the child was poisoned to death."
Gu Yunran was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to recover. "Impossible."
