Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Those Fond of Sensuality
“Pah, shameless! To even lust after your own aunt, this eldest grandson of the Gu family, Gu Changshun, has really lost all sense of decency.”
“Right, he has completely disgraced our Gu family village. The people of our Gu family village have always had a simple and honest disposition; how could such a beast emerge among us?”
“This is serious, having such a shameless lecher in our Gu family village. From now on, I’ll make my daughter stay far away from that disgraceful man whenever she sees him.”
The crowd buzzed with discussions, all accusing Gu Changshun. Mrs. Zhang yelled, “Nonsense! My son is pure and innocent. This is all my third brother-in-law and his wife falsely accusing my son without any evidence. You all better not spread rumors! If you say my son has lecherous intentions towards his third aunt, then I might as well say that all of you have lecherous intentions towards your third aunts!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd felt there was some logic to Mrs. Zhang’s words. Immediately, someone said, “Right, without evidence, how can we simply take the word of the Gu family’s third son and think of Changshun as such a contemptible person?”
“Evidence? You all want evidence, I can prove it to everyone,” said Su Yunjin, looking at the onlookers suddenly speaking up.
Aside from her and her husband Gu Ya, there was another witness to today’s event—Gu Ya’s father, Lord Gu Chengxiang. Lord Gu Chengxiang was also at home today. Although he wasn’t in the courtyard, with the commotion outside being so loud, Su Yunjin was convinced that Lord Gu Chengxiang must have heard everything that happened outside today.
If they wanted evidence, then Lord Gu Chengxiang was the witness!
With her father-in-law as a witness, let’s see how that shameless Gu Changshun and his mother Mrs. Zhang would try to wriggle out of it.
Mrs. An asked Su Yunjin, “Yunjin, can you really prove it?”
“Yes! Mother, I can prove it to everyone,” nodded Su Yunjin, immediately turning her gaze to Mrs. Zhang, “Elder sister-in-law, you want evidence? Then let’s go back home and ask our father. Aside from me and my husband, our father was also in the house today. I’m sure he heard everything that happened in the courtyard clearly!”
“Ask then, who’s afraid? Let’s go back and ask our father now! There’s a couple with malicious intentions trying to frame my son, to throw dirt on him. Changshun’s grandpa will definitely stand by Changshun, unlike some couples whose hearts are filled with malice, who are black-hearted and mean-spirited!”
Mrs. Zhang clamored to go back and see Lord Gu Chengxiang, Changshun’s grandfather, which terrified Gu Changshun, turning his face ashen, “Mother, no, no, we can’t, we mustn’t—!”
“What ‘no’? What’s the matter? Son, don’t be scared, your mother is here to protect you. No one can splash dirty water on you!” Mrs. Zhang said this, but Gu Changshun was tongue-tied in agony. How could he tell his mother, that he indeed harbored lustful thoughts towards his third aunt and even wanted to take the place of his third uncle Gu Ya to sleep with her?
Now, with so many onlookers gathered around for the spectacle, if he admitted it, wouldn’t he be slapping his own face, exposing everything?
Gu Changshun was petrified with fear. Su Yunjin glanced at Gu Changshun, a cold smile flashed over her features as she said to Mrs. Zhang and the others, “Let’s go! We shall go back now and ask our father, and see once and for all if my husband and I have wronged that shameless beast. After asking, everything will become crystal clear!”
