They were still pointing at the house with disdain on their faces.
Tong Shuitao only heard their conversation when she got closer.
“I knew it. This young lady from the Gu family must have eloped with that wolf cub.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, why would that wolf cub propose marriage as soon as she returned?”
“Gu Yundong hasn’t reached adulthood yet, right? Why is she in such a hurry? Is she pregnant?”
When she said this, the people around her widened their eyes. It couldn’t be, right?
Tong Shuitao was furious. “You gossipy old women, I’ll tear your mouths apart.”
As she spoke, she pounced on the person who had spread the most rumors.
The few of them immediately turned their heads and retreated.
As they retreated, they saw Gu Yundong standing at the back and looking at them coldly.
Gu Yundong was smiling, but this smile reminded them of the day when she had ruthlessly whipped Hu Liang with the sole of her shoe. All of them immediately felt their faces hurt.
“Miss, Miss Gu, we’re just spouting nonsense. Don’t take it to heart.”
“That’s right, that’s right. We’re just watching the show. We’re leaving now. We won’t disturb you anymore.”
Gu Yundong looked at them one by one. They were still those people. Weren’t they the gossipy old women that Aunt Ke had memorized? Now they were bold enough to come to her door.
Gossip gave people courage??
“I’m just curious. Since you’re afraid of me and know that Shao Qingyuan is a wolf cub who doesn’t show any mercy, how dare you talk behind our backs and ruin our reputation? Why? Aren’t you afraid that the two of us will join forces to take revenge?”
The faces of those old women instantly turned pale. The person who was grabbed by Tong Shuitao that was about to tear her mouth apart forgot to resist. The corners of her mouth were fiercely pulled open and almost cracked.
Gu Yundong glanced at them again and said meaningfully, “I hope you won’t regret it.”
With that, she strode through the door.
The few old women’s bodies were a little weak.
“She won’t really cause us trouble, will she?”
“Let’s go, let’s hurry home.”
The door was cleared in an instant. Tong Shuitao looked outside and finally reported to Gu Yundong in satisfaction, “They’re all gone. Miss is indeed impressive. You scared them so much that they didn’t even dare to fart.”
Gu Yundong felt that not only did Tong Shuitao have to learn martial arts, but she also had to learn how to read. This flattery made her feel good.
She walked inside. Before she reached the central room, she heard an unfamiliar voice.
Gu Yundong paused for a moment before continuing forward.
When she got closer, she realized that the person who spoke was dressed like a matchmaker. She was counting Shao Qingyuan’s merits.
When she saw Gu Yundong, her eyes lit up. “Oh, she’s indeed a good-looking girl. No wonder Young Master Shao values her so much.”
Gu Yundong pursed her lips. At Aunt Ke’s signal, she shyly walked to the back and sat down.
Shao Qingyuan was also there, but his clothes looked wet. There were two geese beside his feet.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, Dong Xiulan whispered in her ear, “Qingyuan heard that it’s best to bring two wild geese to propose a marriage. It’s for good luck. He went to catch wild geese overnight. His clothes were wet, but he didn’t have time to change.”
The geese rested by the water. It was unknown where Shao Qingyuan was squatting and waiting for them, but he looked a little disheveled.
She glanced at the matchmaker who was chatting happily with Aunt Ke and gave Shao Qingyuan a look before silently leaving the central room.
Not long after, Shao Qingyuan also came out to the backyard.
Gu Yundong pinched his sleeve, and Shao Qingyuan held her hand.
Gu Yundong was speechless. She just wanted to know how wet his clothes were. She did not want to hold his hand.
She glared at him. “Hurry up and go back and change your clothes. I can wring water out of it. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”
“I’ll leave after we’ve settled it.”
“There are a lot of things to discuss here. I don’t know when they’ll be done.
Hurry up and go back to change.”
“You said you’d listen to me.”
Shao Qingyuan immediately shut up and nodded. “Then I’ll go back first.”
Gu Yundong stood under the corridor and watched him walk out of the Gu house.
Only then was she satisfied. She was about to return to the central room when she saw an unexpected person appear at the door..
