Chapter 427: Chapter 427: A Spectacular Show Chapter 427: Chapter 427: A Spectacular Show Wan Ruyan’s clothes were torn and ragged, and her little face was smeared with tears. Surrounded by the darkness of the late night, her tear-streaked face looked somewhat comical against the dark backdrop.
Mrs. An stood to the side, her head aching with trouble. After all, Wan Ruyan was a guest of the Gu Family, and she was also the younger sister-in-law of her daughter, Gu Hengniang.
Now that this incident had occurred, with Gu Changshun and Wan Ruyan caught in the act of adultery, what would happen if the Wan Family came knocking to wreak havoc? Mrs. An looked at the two, feeling both angry and worried.
She was at a loss for what to do.
She didn’t know what to say, so she just stood there, looking on.
How could such a thing happen out of the blue?
Gu Changshun claimed it was Wan Ruyan who seduced his son. Mrs. Zhang, biased in favor of her son, believed Gu Changshun’s words and pointed at Wan Ruyan’s nose, scolding her, “Wan you! How can you be so shameless, little whore? Luring men, and even onto my son. Are you that desperate for a man? Causing trouble for my son in the middle of the night?”
Wan Ruyan had indeed been deceived by Gu Changshun. Had it not been for Gu Changshun pretending to be Gu Ya, Wan Ruyan wouldn’t have been lured to this grove of trees.
She wouldn’t have been caught in adultery by the villagers of the Gu Family.
Already feeling wronged, Wan Ruyan immediately burst into tears and cried out after Mrs. Zhang’s scolding, “It was him! It was Gu Changshun who bullied me, who took advantage of me.”
“Nonsense!” Mrs. Zhang slapped Wan Ruyan across the face with a hard smack, causing her delicate little face to swell up immediately.
Not expecting Mrs. Zhang to hit her, Wan Ruyan was completely stunned.
Mrs. Zhang continued to berate Wan Ruyan, spittle flying, “How could my son bully you? Take advantage of you? Just a moment ago, my son clarified that it was you, you little slut, who seduced him first. My son is tied up here now, all because of your doing, and you dare blame my son?”
Indeed, it was quite the spectacle.
This drama did not disappoint her at all! Su Yunjin stood to the side, watching the scene unfold, finding the dog-eat-dog quarrel between Wan Ruyan and Mrs. Zhang extremely amusing.
She was secretly thrilled.
Gu Ya followed his young wife through the crowd, seeing her squeezing toward the front with Mrs. Chu. Finding it amusing, Gu Ya pulled his wife out of the crowd.
This little one did love a spectacle, didn’t she?
The excitement in her eyes.
It was a tad exasperating for Gu Ya.
Suddenly pulled from behind, Su Yunjin turned to see it was Gu Ya and tried to break free with some frustration, “Husband, why are you pulling me?”
Of course, she had to take a good look.
Gu Ya actually had no interest in watching?
Without waiting for Gu Ya to speak, Su Yunjin instinctively pulled her hand away and squeezed back into the crowd. Gu Ya was unable to hold onto his wife now, and there were too many people around. He feared that their tugging might draw unnecessary attention to them.
Gu Ya had no choice but to let his young wife worm her way through.
Su Yunjin made her way to the front while Mrs. Chu stood by her side. When Mrs. Zhang slapped Wan Ruyan, Gu Hengniang also became enraged.
“Elder sister-in-law, what are you doing? Didn’t you hear Yanyan’s words? Yanyan said it was my nephew who bullied her. Yet you do nothing to reprimand my nephew and instead come to hit Yanyan?”
“It was her I hit, for seducing my son! For taking advantage of my son?” Mrs. Zhang moved to hit Wan Ruyan again, but just then, someone suddenly called out from the crowd.
“The Magistrate is here.”
