Chapter 739: Chapter 739: A Huge Stir Chapter 739: Chapter 739: A Huge Stir Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi were both present.
Taken aback for a moment, Gu Ya looked towards his young wife, “Yunjin, did father and mother both come?” Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi watched Gu Ya as they heard what he had just said.
They were all somewhat curious as they looked at him.
“Son-in-law, what have you found out?”
This time, Gu Ya had thoroughly investigated the background of that man and confirmed that the man deceiving his wife’s younger sister was indeed the young proprietor of that tavern.
However, he was not sure whether he should reveal this information now; Gu Ya wanted to consider his wife’s opinion first. Yunjin’s parents and elder brother were still unaware of Su Ningxiu’s involvement with that man.
Immersed in the man’s sweet nothings, Su Ningxiu was oblivious to the deception. Gu Ya knew that if he were to expose the truth to everyone at this moment,
it would inevitably stir up a major tempest. To preserve Su Ningxiu’s dignity and feelings, Gu Ya opted to keep silent for now and decided to first tell his wife about the matter in private.
She would then convey the information to her older sister, Su Ningxiu.
What Gu Ya had thought of, Su Yunjin had also considered; aware that revealing the issue could cause a great commotion, she decided it would be better to wait for an opportunity to privately inform her sister.
She busily signaled Gu Ya with her eyes, prompting him not to speak. Gu Ya understood his wife’s intentions and handed her a basket of loquats he was holding.
Only then did he reply to Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi’s question, “Father, Mother, it’s nothing serious. The wine shop is about to open, and Yunjin was curious about how other wine shops conduct their business, so she had me look around and inquire.”
Clutching the basket of loquats given to her by Gu Ya, Su Yunjin smiled and asked, “Husband, why did you bring back so many loquats?” His young wife enjoyed them.
Gu Ya had conveniently purchased a basket on his way back.
Before Gu Ya could reply, Su Ningxiu, standing to the side, answered first, “Youngest sister, your husband is really good to you! He knows you love loquats, so he specially bought them for you.”
Not forgetting the scene of her younger sister eating loquats at the Su Family home; she would even hold some to enjoy after dinner. Reminded by Su Ningxiu,
Yunjin instinctively looked at Gu Ya, who was also gazing at her, his eyes and brows exuding tenderness. Yunjin’s heart inexplicably began to beat faster, and, flustered, she quickly averted her gaze.
The subtle exchange between the couple had not escaped Mrs. Shen’s observant eyes; it was clear to her that Yunjin and Gu Ya, the young married couple, shared a loving relationship.
Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi could rest assured. Initially, when Yunjin was sold to the Gu Family under Mrs. Tao’s schemes, Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi felt they had wronged their daughter for some time.
But now, seeing their daughter living well and being cherished by her husband, they no longer felt guilt-ridden and sorry for her. With Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi’s arrival,
they were certainly expected to stay and have a meal at the shop. Fortunately, the kitchen was well-equipped, and there was no need to go to the market to buy anything. Mrs. Shen and Su Ningxiu started cooking in the kitchen.
In the beginning, Su Yunjin was also helping in the kitchen, but with her mind preoccupied by her older sister’s situation, she found an opportunity to leave Mrs. Shen and Su Ningxiu alone in the kitchen and quietly pulled Gu Ya outside to the courtyard to ask him in secret.
“Husband, please tell me what you’ve found regarding my sister’s situation.” Remembering that Gu Ya had said he had cleared things up when he came back, had it not been for her sister and her parents being there, Su Yunjin would have asked about it sooner. Having held back all morning, she finally seized the chance to inquire with Gu Ya.
Now, Su Yunjin couldn’t wait to know the answer.
