Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Not Adhering to the Rules for Women Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Not Adhering to the Rules for Women “Husband, let go.”
Having her arm pulled by Gu Ya, Su Yunjin instinctively turned towards him, “I need to visit the Magistrate’s, let me go.”
Mrs. Han had run away.
She wanted to clarify things with the Magistrate first; otherwise, what if that old fool, the Magistrate, couldn’t find any evidence and really came to dunk her in the pig cage?
Su Yunjin certainly did not want to be the scapegoat!
She still needed to make a trip to see the Magistrate, to ensure he wouldn’t mistake her for a scapegoat. Gu Ya did not let go of his little wife’s hand.
Instead, he told her, “Yunjin, there’s no need for you to go see the Magistrate.”
“How can that be possible?” If she did not see the Magistrate, how could she explain the situation to him? She didn’t actually want to end up being dunked in that pig cage.
Gu Ya continued, “Yunjin, listen to me until I finish speaking!” The little thing acted so hastily, not even listening to his explanation, Gu Ya felt somewhat helpless.
“I have already visited the Magistrate,” Gu Ya said, leaving Su Yunjin momentarily stunned. When did Gu Ya visit the Magistrate? How could she not know about it?
Could it have been… last night? Indeed, Gu Ya’s words confirmed Su Yunjin’s guess, “Yunjin, last night, didn’t you ask me where I went? Actually, I went to see the Magistrate.” He took matters concerning his little wife very seriously.
The little wife’s concerns had already been anticipated by Gu Ya. Last night, he had gone to clarify the rumors for her. Su Yunjin was still somewhat surprised.
“Husband, you saw the Magistrate last night. What did he say?” Now, Su Yunjin was concerned with what the Magistrate had to say.
Gu Ya laid a hand gently on the top of his little wife’s head, “Don’t worry! Having heard my explanation, the Magistrate has already believed that you have not lured any men.”
Su Yunjin was overjoyed.
Her voice, filled with excitement, carried a touch of exuberance, “Husband, did the Magistrate really believe me? He really doesn’t think I’ve seduced any men anymore?”
Gu Ya nodded. “The Magistrate even said that he would uncover those who helped Mrs. Han fabricate rumors and deal with them severely, to serve as a warning to others not to spread malicious gossip in the future.”
Amidst her excitement, Su Yunjin wondered why the Magistrate had suddenly believed her, “Husband, what method did you use? How did you manage to convince that old confused Magistrate?”
The Magistrate, after all, was a figure of high integrity and respect in the village. It was one thing for the little wife to say such things at home, but it would be troubling if she said them outside where others could hear.
Thus, Gu Ya admonished his little wife.
“Yunjin, don’t talk nonsense! The Magistrate, after all, is an elder of our village, and you must not behave so recklessly.” Even though that Magistrate was indeed confused.
Earlier, he had wanted to catch her and dunk her in the pig cage without any clear evidence.
Su Yunjin stuck out her tongue, “Husband, I was just saying.”
Really, there was no way to manage this little thing.
Gu Ya was both exasperated and amused.
Wan Ruyan refused to marry, and Mrs. Zhang and Gu Changshun were terrified and hurried to appease her. The Wan Family also urged her, asking Wan Ruyan not to make too much of a fuss.
In the end, Wan Ruyan grudgingly agreed to complete the wedding ceremony with Gu Changshun and enter the bridal chamber.
Wan Ruyan did marry Gu Changshun and enter the bridal chamber, but she had no intention of letting Gu Changshun take the slightest advantage of her.
Gu Changshun’s wedding day had been quite the spectacle, making many laugh. Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu’s faces had been black with displeasure all day, regretting their intestines turned green.
They felt that they should never have agreed to their son marrying Wan Ruyan, a woman who did not maintain proper female virtue.
