Chapter 226 Not Young
In her past life, her two cousins were ultimately outmaneuvered by their own mother and married off to two wealthy businessmen.
Later, the Marquis's mansion was raided, and it's likely that his final fate wouldn't be much better than hers. Now that they have shown her kindness, Gu Shuyan is willing to lend them a hand.
"Yan is so thoughtful. Let's settle this then! I'll have someone fetch the second son in a bit, and I'll talk to him personally."
The old lady was becoming more and more satisfied with Gu Shuyan. Although this granddaughter grew up in the countryside, her insight was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Not long after the people from the main branch left, Second Master Gu was invited to Yunxiang Courtyard by a maid.
"My mother is looking for me?"
Master Gu's attitude towards the old lady has changed recently, and he speaks to her with more respect.
The old lady nodded. "There's something I'd like to discuss with you. We've found tutors for the two sisters, Yuxin and Yuhe. I'm just an old woman with nothing to do, so I'd like them to move in with me and keep me company."
The old lady spoke tactfully, but how could Second Master Gu not understand? The old lady wanted him to send his daughter over to be raised.
“Mother, it’s not that I’m unwilling, it’s just that Jiezong just moved to the front yard. If Yuxin and Yuhe move here with you, I’m afraid Qiaoniang will cause trouble for me again.”
Although Master Gu has rarely visited Concubine Qiao's courtyard recently due to the arrival of Niao Cui, he still cares deeply for her after so many years of relationship.
"Why is she, a mere concubine, making a fuss with you?" The old lady was about to get angry, but remembering what Gu Shuyan had said before she left, she immediately suppressed her anger.
“If it weren’t for the fact that Shu’er is getting on in years, I wouldn’t want to bring this up with you. The two children are not young anymore, and raising them with the same aunt will not be good for their future marriages. Your sister was unable to get married back then, so how can I, as their mother, watch my two good children be burdened by marriage in the future?”
The old lady spoke with a sorrowful expression and her eyes were red.
Thinking of his deceased younger sister, Master Gu felt a pang of guilt. His sister was about to get married, and if he hadn't thrown a tantrum and run away from home, she wouldn't have gone looking for him.
When the old lady saw her sister again, she found her sister had been raped and murdered, and her body dumped in a ravine. The old lady was so distraught by this that she almost followed her in death.
"Since Mother is willing to teach the two children, then I will trouble you to take care of them from now on."
Master Gu knew what kind of situation he would face after agreeing to go back, but the guilt in his heart was awakened, and he couldn't care less about anything else for the time being.
"Then let the sisters move in tomorrow!"
Having achieved her goal, the old lady naturally wouldn't say anything more. As for whether her second son could understand her good intentions, the old lady had never even considered it.
Aunt Qiao only heard about this in the afternoon, and it was something that even the maids in the mansion knew, but no one told her, her birth mother.
With all three children sent away at once, Aunt Qiao ignored the servants' attempts to stop her and rushed straight to Master Gu.
She had originally planned to beg Master Gu to spare her two daughters, no matter what.
But when she saw that it was Niao Cui accompanying Master Gu, and the two of them were chatting and laughing, all the work that Aunt Qiao had done for her was in vain.
"I disagree with sending Yuxin and Yuhe to the old lady's courtyard."
Without greetings or formalities, the first thing they said was a question.
