Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Unexpected
In order to clarify the truth,
a group of people escorted Gu Changshun back to the Gu Family residence.
It was the busy farming season, and every household had rice that needed harvesting. Though every family was preoccupied, some who enjoyed a spectacle still followed Su Yunjin and the others to the Gu Family’s place, eager to see the excitement and whether Gu Changshun truly harbored indecent thoughts towards his aunt by marriage.
Gu Changshun was unwilling to go back and even less keen to confront the situation, but he was bound tightly with rope by Gu Ya and dragged along.
He had no choice but to comply.
During this, Mrs. Zhang tried to approach and untie the ropes from her son Gu Changshun, but she was repeatedly rebuffed by Gu Ya.
He said he wouldn’t release Gu Changshun until the matter had been thoroughly investigated.
Frustrated, Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and hurled a string of curses at Gu Ya.
Gu Ya ignored Mrs. Zhang’s cursing as if he hadn’t heard it at all, and Su Yunjin regarded it as nothing more than the barking of a mad dog, directly overlooking it. Gu Baofu was someone who stood up for his own people, after all.
Gu Ya refused to let go of Gu Changshun, which almost provoked Gu Baofu to confront Gu Ya physically. However, he was ultimately restrained by Gu Jianghai. Gu Jianghai, the fifth brother, said to his eldest brother Gu Baofu, “All right, let’s listen to the third brother in this matter. Let’s wait until things are clear, we’ve got so many eyes on us! Big Brother, you don’t want everybody to keep laughing at our family, do you?”
“Third brother, if it turns out that you’ve wrongly tarnished my son’s reputation today, I, your eldest brother, will certainly not let you off the hook lightly,” Gu Baofu retorted coldly.
Under the constant scolding from Gu Baofu and Mrs. Zhang as a couple, they finally arrived at the Gu Family home, and upon seeing it, Gu Changshun’s heart went cold.
Unwilling to follow Gu Ya inside, Gu Changshun stopped cooperating and ceased walking forward. Even Mrs. Zhang noticed, “Son, why have you stopped? Move it, as soon as you see your grandfather, you can clear your name of this injustice.”

Mrs. Zhang pulled her son Gu Changshun forward incessantly, while Su Yunjin secretly snickered to herself. Humph, let’s see what excuses Gu Changshun will have when he faces her father-in-law?
Reluctantly, Gu Changshun was dragged by his mother and uncle to the room where his grandfather Gu Chengxiang stayed. Ever since Gu Chengxiang had fallen on the mountain and become paralyzed, he had been bedridden. As everyone walked in, Gu Changshun had been fearful of his deed being exposed, but to everyone’s surprise, Gu Chengxiang was asleep in the room.
In the room, on the bed, Gu Chengxiang’s eyes were tightly shut, looking as if he had been sleeping the whole time. Upon seeing this, Gu Changshun felt a rush of joy—was his grandfather actually sleeping?
Heaven itself seemed to be aiding him!
With his grandfather Gu Chengxiang asleep in the room, completely oblivious to the events outside, Gu Changshun’s confidence soared.
Gone were his previous guilt and anxiety.
“Mother, quickly wake Grandfather! With Aunt and Uncle conspiring against me , everything will become clear once Grandfather wakes up!”
The onlookers from Gu Family Village who had come to witness the scene whispered among themselves, “Gu Ya’s father seems to have been sleeping all along! How can he prove anything ?”
At that moment, Gu Ya also raised an eyebrow as he looked at his young wife. Su Yunjin just happened to be looking his way. Their eyes met, and Su Yunjin never imagined such a scenario could happen!
If her father-in-law had been asleep and knew nothing of the incident outside, how would they prove what happened today?
How could she still prove the day’s events?
“Yunjin, don’t be afraid, leave this to me!” Gu Ya gave Su Yunjin a reassuring look, signaling she had no need to worry.
