Chapter 436: Chapter 436 Leaving Chapter 436: Chapter 436 Leaving Wan Da’an was drunk, unaware of anything that had happened outside. It was not until the next morning when Wan Da’an woke up that he heard about what had taken place the night before.
“What happened? How could Yanyan have been dunked in a pig cage?”
Wan Ruyan had been dunked in a pig cage all night long and was pulled ashore the next morning, already pale-faced from the cold and shivering all over.
Her face was haggard.
Luckily, Mrs. Han had supported her all the way, or Wan Ruyan would have fallen long ago.
Wan Ruyan was now so exhausted that she could barely look at her brother, Wan Da’an, let alone say a weak word.
Wan Ruyan was still wearing the same clothes from the previous night, which had been torn in many places by Gu Changshun, exposing large areas of her flesh beneath. Mrs. Han had supported Wan Ruyan all the way back, enduring the scornful looks from the villagers, but fortunately, it was early in the day, and there weren’t many people on the road.
Otherwise, Wan Ruyan would have had to endure even more disdain.
Wan Da’an was frantic with worry and anger. Seeing that Wan Ruyan’s clothes were torn and soaked through, he asked Mrs. Han to help her change into a clean set of clothes.
Mrs. Han, having married into the Gu Family, had no clothes there, and Wan Ruyan had not brought extra clothes with her when she arrived the day before. To change Wan Ruyan’s clothes, Mrs. Han had to borrow from Mrs. Zhang and the other sister-in-laws and daughters-in-law. Elder sister Mrs. Zhang, because of the issue with her son, was already looking for any reason to dislike Wan Ruyan and naturally would not lend her clothes, and Su Yunjin was even less likely to lend clothes to Wan Ruyan.
That left Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han was out from dawn till dusk these days and was not around to be asked, so Mrs. Han had no option but to borrow from Mrs. Chu, the fifth brother’s wife.
Although Mrs. Chu didn’t like Wan Ruyan much and didn’t hold her in high regard, she was kindhearted. Seeing that Wan Ruyan’s dress was completely torn, she felt sorry for her. When Mrs. Han came to borrow clothes, Mrs. Chu went back into the house and found a dress for Wan Ruyan.
Completely lacking strength, Wan Ruyan was dressed by Mrs. Han.
Outside, Wan Da’an was seething with rage. His little sister had suffered such humiliation in the Gu Family’s home, how could he face their parents when he returned to the Wan Family?
Mrs. Chu told him that Wan Ruyan had been dumped because she had tried to seduce Gu Ya and failed, tricked by Gu Changshun who nearly took advantage of her. She was discovered by others and then dunked in a pig cage by the Magistrate.
Upon learning that Gu Changshun was the one who attempted to take advantage of his sister, Wan Da’an wanted to confront him, only to find out that Gu Changshun was still being soaked in a pig cage.
After changing into fresh clothes and having some porridge, Wan Ruyan’s complexion had improved significantly. Having lost all face in the Gu family’s village, Wan Ruyan no longer wished to stay a moment longer.
Once outside, Wan Ruyan just wanted to leave.
“Brother, let’s go, let’s go. We should leave, Yanyan doesn’t want to stay here any longer,” Wan Ruyan pleaded with sorrow and humiliation, but most of all, with shame.
Last night Su Yunjin slept well, and upon waking, she saw Wan Ruyan and Gu Changshun ready to leave, which was another happy event. At last, they could send those ungrateful people away.
If it had been before, Gu Ya would have definitely seen his second sister Mrs. Han and the others off. However, after what had happened with Wan Ruyan,
Gu Ya did not go to see them off.
Instead, he stood at a distance with his bride, merely glancing over at them.
“Husband, what’s wrong? Aren’t you going to see off your second sister? It looks like they are about to leave,” Su Yunjin asked mockingly.
Gu Ya had previously defended his second sister.
Now, what could he say in his defense?
Would he continue to support Mrs. Han in the future or not?
