Chapter 515: Rumor-busting
Wei thought about it but couldn't help herself and said, "How about we go and ask Aunt Taohua and the others for help?"
Old Mrs. Gu and Old Mr. Gu's eyes lit up.
They actually forgot about their eldest daughter-in-law.
The eldest daughter-in-law is a big shot in Pingchuan County. Who wouldn't give her some face?
When it comes to a matter involving human life, the eldest daughter-in-law cannot just ignore it.
Mr. Gu planned to sacrifice his reputation and go to Tong Huaqiong, but Jia was not happy about it.
"I would rather die than beg her... Is she so proud now? Why is he not her son... Why is he not her son..." Jia looked like a madman.
Wei was stunned. Her mother-in-law hated the first wife so much that she even ignored her own son.
"I don't want to ask you to save Ruinian. You don't want Ruinian to come back." Wei said.
Jia grabbed Wei's hand and murmured, "Yes, yes, saving Ruinian first is the most important thing."
Gu Honglian smiled coldly and said, "It's too late. My sister-in-law took Taohua to the capital city early in the morning."
Mr. Gu stood up and said, "I'll go discuss this with Dashu and Baishuang."
Gu Fengnian accompanied Old Man Gu, and Gu Honglian followed.
It was not until dark that Mr. Gu came back with a dejected look on his face.
"I don't know where Dashu and Yue'e went, and I don't know which lady invited Baishuang to dinner. Now there is no one who can take charge of things at my sister-in-law's place." Gu Honglian took the initiative to explain to Old Lady Gu.
Mr. Gu said, "I asked my clerk to tell Dashu and Baishuang to come find me when they come back."
As they waited until midnight, Gu Dashu and Gu Baishuang still didn't show up. Old Man Gu sent Gu Fengnian to Tong Huaqiong's house again, and found that the lights in the entire yard had been turned off.
After Gu Fengnian came back, Old Man Gu sighed deeply.
Except for Wei and Gu Honglian, no one in Mr. Gu's group slept all night. At daybreak, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu put on their clothes and took Gu Fengnian to Tong Huaqiong's house.
Gu Honglian, who was the first to eat the melon, rolled over from the bed and followed behind in her slippers.
If you go to your elder sister-in-law's house at this time, you might be able to get breakfast. You don't dare to get it when your elder sister-in-law is around. Now only Gu Dashu and Gu Baishuang can get it when their aunt is around.
Gu Dashu got up early and bought the meat buns, sugar-coated cakes, chicken soup that Liu Yue'e specifically requested... and then rushed home in a pot.
As soon as I pushed the door open and got in, it was held open by Old Man Gu.
Gu Dashu sighed inwardly, he couldn't let his grandfather in either.
Last night, he and Liu Yue'e came back from shopping and met their eldest sister who had just returned from a banquet. The waiter told them that their grandfather had brought Gu Fengnian to discuss important matters with them. After waiting for a long time and seeing that the siblings did not return, he went back first and asked them to go to Wu Ji's backyard after they came back.
He and Gu Baishuang ignored it.
They know why my mother fled to the provincial capital.
There has been a lot of buzz outside these days. They knew about Gu Ruinian's affairs earlier than those in the old house.
Now that Gu Ruinian's incident has been exposed, as the most beloved grandson of the Gu family, Old Man Gu will certainly save him at all costs. Pingchuan can't ask anyone else for help, so he can only ask the eldest wife for help.
Gu Dashu thought that he and his elder sister did not go to Wu Ji last night, which was to tell Grandpa Gu that they had no right to intervene in the matter.
Especially the Zheng family. Gu Dashu's eyelids twitched when he heard about the Zheng family. Nothing good would happen if he got involved with them. Now he has walked on the right path and wants to completely cut off ties with the people and things that caused him to mess up in the past.
He can't go to the Zheng family.
In addition, when the news of Gu Ruinian, the Great Shuqi, doing such a shameless thing spread outside, others with the surname Gu in Qinghe Bay thought it was him.
He has explained it several times.
Why did Gu Baishuang go to the banquet yesterday? It was to dispel the rumor that the male protagonist of the scandal, Qinghewan, whose surname is Gu, had nothing to do with them.
It's true that he spreads rumors with just one mouth, and then refutes the rumors and breaks his legs.
They have been cleaning up after Gu Ruinian for a few days now, and after finally getting their family out of the mess, they don't want to be involved again.
They came again early in the morning.
Gu Dashu gets a headache when he sees the people in the old house.
"Dashu, it took you so long to buy breakfast." Liu Yue'e took advantage of the time when Gu Dashu was buying breakfast to dress up at home. She appeared in the yard with rosy lips and white teeth.
Under normal circumstances, Old Lady Gu would be displeased and make a few sarcastic remarks, but now, for the sake of her beloved grandson, she can care about nothing else.
"There were so many people queuing that I almost didn't get to buy one. I waited for four pots before I got my turn for the sugar-coated oil cake you wanted." Gu Dashu walked into the house carrying the pot.
When Gu Honglian heard about the sugar-coated pancakes, she followed Gu Dashu closely and said, "Dashu, I want to eat some too."
Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she was half dead. Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e treated them as dead and didn't even say hello.
Mr. Gu was also unhappy.
The rules of the eldest house are too poor.
After entering the house, Liu Yue'e and Gu Dashu exchanged a few more words. Then, as if she had just discovered Old Man Gu and the others, she asked in surprise, "Grandma and Grandma, why are you here so early in the morning?"
Old Man Gu held his breath in his heart. Liu Yue'e asked even though she knew the answer, fearing that the first wife already knew about Gu Ruinian's affairs.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, let's eat together." Liu Yue'e and Gu Dashu invited Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu to sit down at the dining table.
How could two people eat that?
Gu Honglian ignored everyone else and grabbed the big meat bun, biting it until her mouth was full of oil.
At this time, Gu Baishuang came in to have breakfast after washing up. Seeing Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, she greeted them naturally, and then sat next to Liu Yue'e. Gu Dashu put a bowl of milk soup in front of Gu Baishuang, which he did every day.
No one spoke.
The only sound at the dinner table was Gu Honglian's smacking lips.
Old Master Gu gritted his teeth and said, "Dashu, Baishuang, do you know why we are here?"
Mr. Gu didn't question why he didn't go to see them yesterday. What happened yesterday was in the past.
Gu Dashu shook his head and said, "Is it because your uncle's business is not doing well that you can't even get enough food, so you come to our house for breakfast. Grandpa and grandma, you don't have to be so troublesome in the future. Just tell me and I'll take care of your breakfast. Even if I'm a jerk, I can still make sure you have enough breakfast."
Mr. Gu looked embarrassed.
Old Madam Gu couldn't help it anymore, she threw the chopsticks in front of her and said, "Just pretend, just pretend. Don't you know that Rui Nian was detained by the Zheng family because of that bitch Xu Zaohua? After all, he is your cousin and the grandson of our Gu family, and you just watch him go to hell?"
Gu Dashu said calmly, "What does that have to do with me? It wasn't me who asked him to hook up with Xu Zaohua. Grandma, you came up and started accusing him, but I don't think Gu Ruinian has implicated all of us, the descendants of the surname Gu."
He doesn't even have the attitude to ask for help, but relies on his seniority to suppress him. Is he spoiled?
It was his father that she raised with all her heart, not him.
Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that her heart ached and she wanted to curse, but was held down by Old Man Gu.
Gu Honglian, who was watching the fun, said, "That's right. Yesterday, we heard that Xu Zaohua and the Gu from Qinghe Bay were arrested. Second sister-in-law thought it was Jingzhe. Isn't this what Dashu meant by implicated a bunch of descendants of the surname Gu? Even Second sister-in-law made this connection, let alone others?"
Old Madam Gu was angry at Gu Honglian for being so stupid. How could she say such things at the dinner table in the main house?
Gu Fengnian looked embarrassed.
He was a man of few words to begin with, and at this moment he swallowed his words about asking Dashu for help.
