Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Foolish Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Foolish What?
Wan Da’an is taking a concubine?
Having heard Gu Hengniang’s words, Su Yunjin could not feign surprise.
How could Su Yunjin ever imagine that Wan Da’an would take a concubine?
Gu Hengniang continued wailing, begging Gu Ya for a solution, “Third brother, what should your second sister do now? Your brother-in-law is taking a concubine! The Wan family even blames me for ruining Yanyan. Now, second sister is already having a hard time in the Wan family. If your brother-in-law takes another concubine, how will second sister and your two nieces be able to continue living in the Wan family?”
Just the thought made Gu Hengniang angry.
She was dreadfully worried that her husband Wan Da’an would truly bring back a concubine.
The affair with Wan Ruyan was completely Gu Hengniang’s own making, as she, being instigated by her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, had brought Wan Ruyan into the Gu family, which led to the current predicament.
When Su Yunjin heard Gu Hengniang’s laments, she had no interest in meddling in her affairs. As for Gu Ya, since Gu Hengniang was his second sister, he might want to deal with her matters, and Su Yunjin wouldn’t stop him, but Su Yunjin would definitely not meddle in Gu Hengniang’s business.
After Gu Hengniang finished accusing the Wan family of being scoundrels, she turned her resentment towards Su Yunjin, each word a veiled accusation, “Third brother, if it weren’t for some people, Yanyan wouldn’t have ruined her reputation. The way second sister is bullied by the Wan family is also due to someone’s doing. Third brother, your second sister is counting on you now; you must help second sister. Now, you’re the only one who can help second sister!”
Su Yunjin wasn’t foolish and discerned the implication in Gu Hengniang’s words. Su Yunjin felt so exasperated she laughed. It had come to this point.
Gu Hengniang still hadn’t learned her lesson and was pushing all the blame onto Su Yunjin? Wan Ruyan herself seduced men and had dishonorable intentions.
Everything that had happened to Wan Ruyan was her own doing–how was it Su Yunjin’s fault? How could Gu Hengniang place the blame for Wan Ruyan’s actions on her?
Was it she who had told Wan Ruyan to seduce men?
Or was it she who had brought Wan Ruyan into the Gu family?
Gu Ya understood his second sister Gu Hengniang’s insinuation. Seeing Gu Hengniang blame the new bride, Gu Ya was visibly displeased, “Second sister, are you confused? The matter with Miss Wan was entirely her own doing. How is it related to others?”
Gu Ya did not give Gu Hengniang any face.
Gu Hengniang felt even more convinced that Su Yunjin had turned her and her brother against each other.
She looked at Gu Ya incredulously.
“Third brother, how can you… How can you speak to your second sister with that tone?” With a cold laugh, Gu Hengniang turned her gaze towards Su Yunjin.
No longer beating around the bush, she pointed directly at Su Yunjin, “Third brother, tell me, has this woman been whispering in your ear? Is that why you’re treating me this way?”
Su Yunjin also responded with a cold laugh.
As Gu Hengniang looked furiously at Su Yunjin, she vented, “You calamity-bringer, what’s so funny to you? What, are you pleased after causing misery to Yanyan and me?”
Su Yunjin couldn’t even bother to say a word to Gu Hengniang.
She ignored her and walked out of the room.
To talk to such a person.
Su Yunjin felt it would only lower her intelligence.
Seeing that Su Yunjin had ignored her, Gu Hengniang stamped her feet in anger. However, she heard her brother Gu Ya coldly shout beside her, “Second sister, enough! If you came today just to talk about your husband taking a concubine, please leave. I cannot help you with this matter.”
