Chapter 1713: Chapter 1713
Su Yunjin slept late last night, wanting to let the young wife sleep a bit longer. In the morning, when Gu Ya got up, he didn’t wake her. By the time Su Yunjin got up, Gu Ya had already left with Shopkeeper Liu.
Aunt Bao told Su Yunjin, "Madam, the young master said for you to rest well at home today. You were startled by the encounter with the assassin yesterday, so take it easy at home today."
"Auntie, when did my husband leave?" Su Yunjin asked.
While setting breakfast before Su Yunjin, Aunt Bao replied, "He left an hour ago." Aunt Bao had just gotten up, and before dawn, Gu Ya had left the house with Shopkeeper Liu.
Su Yunjin nodded and asked no more. The breakfast on the table was prepared by Aunt Liang: steamed dumplings, small buns, and rice porridge—all of which Su Yunjin liked in the morning. Especially Aunt Bao’s pickled vegetables, which were delicious—the pickled radishes were crisp and spicy, dripped with a couple of drops of sesame oil to go with the meal.
Su Yunjin picked up a steamed dumpling with her chopsticks just as Aunt Liang came in from outside. "Madam, the old Madam Gu and others have arrived." Yesterday, Mrs. An and Mrs. Chu had come looking for Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, but when they arrived, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya were not home. Fearing they would miss them again today, Mrs. An and Mrs. Chu had come quite early.
After breakfast, without any delay, everyone hastily rushed to Gu Ya’s house. It was Aunt Liang who opened the door, seeing that it was the young master’s parents and brothers who had arrived. Aunt Liang hurried to the kitchen to inform Su Yunjin.
Putting down her chopsticks, upon hearing that mother-in-law Mrs. An had arrived, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but frown. In the meantime, Mrs. An and the others had already walked in from the courtyard.
"Third Sister-in-law!" It was Mrs. Chu speaking. Su Yunjin looked over and saw that besides her mother-in-law Mrs. An and father-in-law Lord Gu Chengxiang, the fifth brother and his wife were also there.
She guessed they had come today because of Little Tiangua’s poisoning incident. Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. An arrived, she anxiously asked Su Yunjin, "Third son’s wife, how is everything? Have you and the third son found the person who poisoned?" Since learning that the medicine was poisoned, Mrs. An had cursed the perpetrator thousands of times at home. Her granddaughter Little Tiangua was to be the future rightful wife of Prince Rui Residence. Who did that poisoner think they were, daring to poison the future legitimate wife of the Wang Residence? They deserved nothing less than a thousand deaths.
Luckily, her granddaughter had great fortune and was unharmed. Otherwise... when Mrs. An thinks of how her granddaughter Little Tiangua was nearly hurt, she still feels uneasy.
These past days, Gu Chengxiang had been scolding Mrs. An for being foolish, further igniting Mrs. An’s anger toward the poisoner. She fiercely wished to flay the villain who poisoned her granddaughter.
"Third sister-in-law, this incident is my fault and your sister-in-law’s fault to both you and the third brother. Your sister-in-law was muddleheaded and nearly harmed my niece." Gu Jianghai apologized to Su Yunjin as soon as he arrived.
Ever since Little Tiangua was nearly poisoned, Mrs. Chu had been filled with guilt, constantly regretting her actions. Now, Mrs. Chu anxiously hoped the wicked perpetrator could be found soon.
"Third sister-in-law, isn’t the one who poisoned Little Tiangua the two ladies who gave our mother the remedy that day?" Mrs. Chu had been revisiting the conversation between the third brother, third sister-in-law, and her mother-in-law from that day over the past few days. Thinking it over and over, Mrs. Chu believed the people who poisoned were most likely those who provided her mother-in-law with the remedy.
Especially since those two nearly harmed the third sister-in-law’s life before! The poisoning of Little Tiangua absolutely can’t be unrelated to them! Aunt Bao was dissatisfied that Little Tiangua had nearly been poisoned by Mrs. An and Mrs. Chu’s carelessness. Even though they hadn’t intentionally done so, they still nearly harmed Little Tiangua’s life. Standing to the side with some irritation, Aunt Bao said, "Our Madam hasn’t even had breakfast yet. If you all have questions, perhaps wait until our Madam finishes eating before asking!" The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
