The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

She was a genuine bloodline of the Marquis Estate, how could she be bullied like this? Wasn't this trampling Marquis Gu's face on the ground?

Marquis Gu's anger could be imagined.

If it weren't for the sake of Gu Jinyu and the couple of the Gu Family’s third branch, Marquis Gu would have arrested the whole family and had them beaten to death!

However, they might have avoided the death penalty, but they couldn’t escape the hardships of the living.

Old Mister Gu was exactly the first to suffer.

In fact, Old Mister Gu was the most wronged person in this whole incident. He attended a social gathering for a drink, and when he returned home, his village chief position was gone. His own wife, son and daughters-in-law simply dug him a pit.

As for Gu Jinyu, Marquis Gu made the Gu Family give up custody of Gu Jinyu and vow never to appear in front of Gu Jinyu.

In addition, Marquis Gu warned them to keep their mouths shut and never reveal a word.

Therefore, the Gu Family people didn’t even tell Gu Dashun and Gu Xiaoshun about it.

Gu Ershun overheard some of it and knew that Gu Jiao might have been mixed up at birth, but apart from that, he didn't know anything else.

The above was one of the reasons for the strange atmosphere, and the second was that the female family members actually sat at the table for dinner this time.

Gu Dashun wasn’t used to it.

Gu Dashun glanced at his sister Gu Yue'e, and thought of something. He said, "Jiao girl is really lucky to be married to a Xiucai husband."

His younger sister was no longer young, it was reasonable for her to be married off at this time. If she was married to a good family, it would also be a boost to him.

Gu Yue'e just kept eating quietly and didn’t say a word.

People inwardly thought: Jiao girl is lucky? Clearly it's Xiao Liulang, that guy, who is the lucky one! Does he know who he married? It’s the young miss of the Marquis Estate!

This was precisely a pie falling from the sky alright!

Speaking of this marriage, they were indeed too careless. If they had known that that girl had such a history, they wouldn't have married her off at all!

Just let her stay at home and be a cash cow. In that way, who knew how many benefits they could get from the Marquis Estate!

The Gu Family people felt their intestines turn blue in regret, but what could they do? That girl was no longer a fool and easy to deceive. Even if they wanted to repair their relationship, it wasn’t so easy.

Wu shi threw Liu shi a meaningful glance, hinting at her to pick up the big piece of meat in the bowl.

This was pork in the truest sense. Every piece was very thick and juicy. After this time, only Gu Dashun was allowed to eat it.

Liu shi gulped and picked up the thickest piece. Originally, she still wanted to put it in Ershun’s bowl, but because of Liu shi’s sharp gaze, she had to quickly put it into Gu Xiaoshun's bowl.

Gu Xiaoshun looked at his mother strangely, "What?"

Liu shi said quietly, "You finally came back home so have some meat to eat!"

Gu Xiaoshun had been living in the academy these days, but he was invited back by Gu Dashun today.

Gu Dashun didn't really want to invite him nicely, but it was his father who asked him to be nice and Gu Dashun couldn't do anything about it.

Gu Xiaoshun looked at the meat in the bowl and ate it, neither salty nor light.

Gu Ershun was drooling with greed.

Gu Dashun had a frown between his brows.

The rest acted as if they didn't see anything.

Liu shi smilingly said, "Xiaoshun, you haven't gone to your big sister's place yet, have you?"

Gu Xiaoshun asked, "Why do you ask?"

Liu shi said wryly, "Your big sister always treats you so well, why don't you go and see her now that you’ve returned home?"

Gu Xiaoshun took a bite and replied, "I'll go there in a minute."

Liu shi continued to smile, "Your brother-in-law has become a Xiucai now. Don’t forget to say a few more words of congratulations."

Gu Xiaoshun: "Yeah."

After a long time, Gu Xiaoshun still failed to get their meaning, making Wu shi and the first branch anxious.

Gu Changhai said, "Xiaoshun, uncle has prepared a pot of good tea, as well as two old hens. Send them to your big sister when you visit them later."

Gu Xiaoshun said, "I'll just go. Whatever are these for?"contemporary romance

Could he not carry them all by himself? Must be it!

Gu Changhai was almost driven mad by Gu Xiaoshun. Gu Xiaoshun continued to be clueless to the end, completely unable to understand the twists and turns within his words.

Gu Changhai simply stopped mincing his words and said, "Feud between family never lasts overnight. We did something wrong before, and now we want to apologize to your big sister. Starting today, let's live a good life as a family."

Marquis Gu only warned them about not approaching Gu Jinyu, but he didn't say that they were not allowed to approach Gu Jiao. It was fine as long as they didn't tell Gu Jiao the truth.

They could probably guess Marquis Gu’s thoughts; he was afraid that Gu Jiao wouldn’t be able to accept it easily. In that case, they just need to slowly patch up their relationship with Gu Jiao before the father and daughter recognize each other!

"You want to curry favor with my brother-in-law now that he has become a Xiucai?" Gu Xiaoshun put the chopsticks down on the table and said in a lukewarm tone, "Where are the things?"

His first sentence made people frown, but the next sentence made the Gu Family feel hopeful!

Gu Changhai said to Zhou shi, "Go and get it!"

Zhou shi didn't dare to tarry and went to the room to grab the tea that they paid a lot of money for and the two fattest old hens in the house.

Gu Xiaoshun once again put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, took the things and walked out of the house.

Gu Changhai stretched out his hand and said, "Hey! Wait for me!"

Why would I wait for you?!

It was you who wronged my big sis!

Just scram!

Gu Xiaoshun hastily ran out and slipped into his sister's house, slamming the door shut!

Gu Changhai, whose nose was bleeding from being hit by the door: "...!!!”

Gu Changhai spent a lot of money on the tea he had just given away, and even their old hens were now gone, and yet, he couldn’t even make a fuss. Who could he complain to?

Gu Changhai knocked on the door, but after knocking for a long time, no one answered. He could only gnash his teeth and go back.

Gu Jiao didn’t care about the Gu Family people, let alone the elderly woman and Xiao Liulang.

Actually, if Gu Xiaoshun wasn’t pressing against the door panel, the elderly woman might have even knocked the Gu Family people with a urine pot on the spot!

Gu Jiao was cooking in the kitchen.

"Big sis, big sis." Gu Xiaoshun hadn't been back to the village for a long time, it would be strange if he didn’t miss his big sister. He rushed to the kitchen and greeted Gu Jiao first, and then came up to Xiao Liulang and the elderly woman.

Xiao Liulang gave him the woodcarving tools he brought from Pingcheng. Gu Xiaoshun liked them so much that he looked at each knife again and again, unable to put them down.

A craftsman having a good knife was the same as a swordsman having a great sword. That kind of joy couldn’t be replaced by any ordinary gifts.

Gu Xiaoshun increasingly thought that his brother-in-law was really nice.

Gu Xiaoshun, who was playing with the carving knife, was suddenly called by the elderly woman to her room.

The elderly woman waved to him with great enthusiasm and said, "Xiaoshun, try the candied dried bayberry that Liulang bought me!"

Gu Xiaoshun blinked and asked, "Why is Grandaunt so generous today?"

Normally, it was harder to eat one of her candied fruit than to ascend to heaven.

"Here." The elderly woman chose for a long time before giving him the smallest one.

Gu Xiaoshun wasn’t picky either and stuffed it into his mouth at once.

The next second, he saw the elderly woman counting, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Then she put the seven candied dried bayberries in her own little candy jar, and shouted loudly, "JiaoJiao! Xiaoshun ate my eight candied bayberries!"

“……”

Gu Xiaoshun almost choked to death!

You would go so far for a few dried bayberries?!

Gu Jiao was in charge of the elderly woman. She would only allow her to eat three pieces a day at most. Only during the New Year did she let her eat five pieces. Now, the elderly woman managed to keep seven pieces in one breath, which could be said to be an easy profit!

The elderly woman was very satisfied, and told Gu Xiaoshun to do whatever he had to do.

Gu Xiaoshun was dumbfounded. So he had been used?

Gu Xiaoshun looked for Little Jing Kong, only to find that the little guy was outside.

Little Jing Kong went to walk the chickens.

At first, he only strolled around in their own backyard, but gradually, he felt that their backyard wasn’t enough, so he took the chickens outside.

Little Jing Kong’s route for walking the chicken started from home till the village entrance and then vice versa. Whenever he met villagers, he would greet them politely.

From the initial surprise, the villagers had eventually become accustomed to it, and even began to become very fond of the little monk.

Other people's chickens would run around as soon as they got out of the yard, but Little Jing Kong’s baby chicks could even form a line.

"Little Seven, you cannot cut in line, oh." Little Jing Kong said.

The chick that overtook the fifth silently returned to the end of the line. [T/N: (*>∀<)ﾉ) (≧▽≦)]

Little Jing Kong reached the outside of the Gu Family's old residence, which was the only way to the village entrance.

He was aware of the relationship between the two families and wouldn’t think of going into the Gu Family nor greeting the Gu Family people.

Today, however, he was attracted by a strange voice.
