Chapter 653 Everyone Came to Visit
Master Gu was furious, and the servants hurried away.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuxin was listening to the news that Huaixiang had brought back.
"The doctor said that although the Second Madam did not lose any arms or legs, her injuries were very serious. If she can take good care of herself, she can recover about 70 or 80 percent of her health in the future. But if she does not take good care of herself, she will probably have to spend the rest of her life taking medicine."
What Huai Xiang said was something she had learned from the doctor later. Because He Yin's lungs and internal organs were seriously injured, the doctor was afraid that if he spoke too harshly, it would affect He Yin's current condition, so he concealed some of the truth.
If Huai Xiang hadn't given him two taels of silver and promised not to tell anyone, the doctor wouldn't have dared to tell her so much.
"I didn't expect Gu Zongjie could really take half of He Yin's life. In that case, let's help him out a little!"
Gu Yuxin whispered a few words in Huai Xiang's ear, and Huai Xiang nodded in agreement.
Before Gu Yuxin could ask about Gu Zongjie's situation again, the people sent by Second Master Gu arrived at Gu Yuxin's courtyard.
"Second Miss, Master wants you to go to the Third Young Master's courtyard."
As soon as the servant finished speaking, Huai Xiang looked at Gu Yuxin with concern.
They knew without a doubt that Second Master Gu had been manipulated again. Ever since he stopped being on the same page as the second branch of the family, Second Master Gu had become increasingly displeased with his daughter.
Now that Gu Zongjie is injured and Gu Yuxin is not around, it's just the right opportunity for him to lash out.
Let's go!
Gu Yuxin straightened her clothes, bypassed the servant, and went out on her way.
The second wife, Gu Zongjie, did not wake up for a long time. The doctor examined the wound, bandaged it, and left because he could not make a decision.
When Gu Yuxin arrived, Second Master Gu was staring intently at Gu Renjie, seemingly lost in thought.
"The daughter has met her father."
Although Gu Yuxin is no longer considered a member of the second wife's family, Second Master Gu is still her biological father, so the proper etiquette must be observed.
"You still remember that I am your father? Your brother is in such a state, and you don't even bother to come and see him. Is it only when I'm dead that you'll be willing to come and take a look?"
Master Gu turned around and gave Gu Yuxin a lecture, without caring whether there were servants watching.
"My daughter wouldn't dare."
Gu Yuxin has never been close to Second Master Gu, not in the past, and not now.
Seeing her submissive and unyielding demeanor, Master Gu grew increasingly furious.
"You don't dare? I don't see anything you wouldn't dare to do. Now that you've grown up, you think you can disregard your father?"
Master Gu's voice was quite loud, and the servants outside the door looked at each other in surprise. Just then, Madam Ji helped the old lady slowly walk in.
"Why are you so angry, second brother? It's not like Yuxin did Zongjie the fall and bumped his head. Why are you taking it out on a child like her?"
Ji's voice was soft, but her tone carried a hint of slyness.
"Mother, sister-in-law, you've arrived."
Previously, Master Gu was feeling resentful because no one had come to visit his injured son. Now that the two of them had arrived, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
"How is Zongjie? What did the doctor say?"
Although Gu Zongjie rarely appeared in front of the old lady, it wasn't that she didn't care at all. As a son of the Marquis's family, she still felt sorry for him.
"The doctor didn't say anything, just told us to wait for Zongjie to wake up before sending someone to call him. But it's been so long, and the child is still just sleeping like this."
Looking at Gu Zongjie lying motionless on the bed, Second Master Gu felt as if his heart was on fire.
Seeing this, the old lady felt bad, but instead of Gu Er Ye's venting his anger and doing nothing, the old lady immediately looked at the old woman guarding the bedside.
"I heard that you were by the young master's side when he fell?"
Gu Zongjie wanted to keep this old woman, and since she was older, the old lady didn't say much.
But now that Gu Zongjie has been taken care of in this state, the old lady can't help but ask the old woman how she took care of him.
The old woman had already anticipated the old lady's sudden question, so she knelt down before her and said, "Your Majesty, I was with the young master when he fell, but I was too flustered to notice how he fell."
After listening to the old woman's words, the old lady and Madam Ji quickly grasped a key point in her words.
"You said you're too panicked? What are you panicking about?"
Intuition told the old lady and Madam Ji that Gu Zongjie's fall was probably related to the panic she mentioned.
The gaze fell on the old woman, who trembled in fright and stammered, "This servant...this servant..."
"If you don't tell the truth, drag me away and give me a beating."
The old lady could see through the old woman's obvious excuse, so she shouted at her, and the old woman immediately collapsed to the ground in fright.
“I will tell you, I will tell you right away.”
With a frightened and terrified expression, the old woman recounted how Gu Zongjie had paid someone to beat He Yin. In the end, she made sure to clarify that Gu Zongjie had fallen because he was too excited and that it had nothing to do with anyone else.
Hearing the old woman's words, the old lady sighed inwardly. She had never liked He Yin, so she wasn't very angry about Gu Zongjie having someone beat He Yin.
But Master Gu is different. He Yin was brought back by her, and he also gave his approval to continue to treat her as his wife.
But why is it that such a delicate and charming woman is so disliked by his family?
"You little brat, you actually hired someone to beat up your stepmother. Even if you were knocked unconscious or killed, you deserve it."
When Master Gu is angry, he dares to say anything. It would be one thing if he said this in private, but he said it in front of the old lady.
Unsurprisingly, the old lady's cane struck him directly on the back.
"You've really lost your mind! Zongjie hasn't even woken up yet and you're already cursing him like this. He's your son!"
Looking at Second Master Gu, who was so easily charmed by a woman, the old lady suddenly felt as if she were seeing the old Marquis from back then.
If it weren't for her skill and resourcefulness, her two children, and even herself, would probably have become innocent victims of that woman.
After being slapped by the old lady, Second Master Gu realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate, and could only awkwardly retreat to the side.
Seeing this, the old lady then looked at the kneeling old woman and said, "You serve the Third Young Master closely, taking care of his daily needs. When he does wrong, you not only fail to stop him but also join him in his misdeeds. Our Marquis's mansion cannot afford a servant like you. Take your indenture and leave the mansion!"
If the old lady hadn't remembered that today was only the second day of Gu Renjie's marriage and that Gu Zongjie hadn't woken up yet, she wouldn't have let the old woman off so easily.
