“Today, I was strolling around the manor when I bumped into Gu Ting. He first said that he wanted to take me around, but I didn’t agree. Then, he started to get physical with me, and he even said some dirty things.”

Recalling the scene at that time, Fang Tong couldn’t help but feel sad, and her nose tingled. “I was thinking about how well grandfather and mother treated me, so I didn’t argue with him. I turned around and was about to leave. But he wouldn’t let me leave, and even said that he wanted me to be with him. From now on, we’ll be able to live happily ever after!”

“You’re spouting nonsense!” Gu Ting immediately jumped out and rebuked Fang Tong. “Uncle, this woman is spouting nonsense. How could I say such a thing?!”

“That’s right! How could Gu Ting fall for a woman like you?!”

“Shut up!” Bai Ping snapped, interrupting Lan Yue and her son. He then turned to look at Fang Tong. “Continue.”

“When I heard that, I was furious. I told Gu Ting that I was Nancheng’s wife and that I would never have anything to do with him. That wouldn’t only be a disgrace to the Gu family, but even my parents wouldn’t forgive me! However, Gu Ting actually said that Nancheng wouldn’t live for long. When Nancheng dies, the Gu family will be his. At that time, even grandfather-in-law and mother-in-law would have to listen to him obediently, not to mention me.”

Fang Tong said pitifully, “Not only that, but he also kept saying that my grandfather-in-law was an old man and that I was a slut. I couldn’t take it anymore, so… I broke his jaw.”

After hearing Fang Tong’s words, Bai Ping was so angry that his entire body was trembling, he glared fiercely at Lan Yue and Gu Ting. “You two have been eating the Gu family’s food and living in the Gu family all day, yet you’ve been secretly looking forward to my son… you two are simply heartless!”

“Aunt, don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense! I never said anything like that. It’s all her fault! She tried to seduce me. When I didn’t agree, she became angry and attacked me!” Gu Ting immediately turned hostile as he turned the tables and pushed all the blame onto Fang Tong.

Lan Yue also quickly chimed in, “That’s right! Sister-in-law, you can’t trust this woman! She’s a greedy woman. Otherwise, why would she marry Nancheng? She must be deliberately trying to sow discord between our family! You mustn’t believe her words!”

Bai Ping pursed his lips. Seeing this, Fang Tong immediately knelt down, “Grandfather-in-law, mother-in-law. I, Fang Tong, dare to swear with my life that if I say one word that wrongs Gu Ting, I’ll be hit by a car and die. I’ll never be able to have a child in my life!”

“Get up!” Bai Ping quickly helped Fang Tong up and gently shook her hand. “I believe in you.”

“Sister-in-law!”

“Aunt!”

Bai Ping looked coldly at Lan Yue and her son. “You two keep saying that Fang Tong wronged you. Then, do you dare to swear like her? Do you dare to?”

“I…” Gu Ting felt a little afraid. Although this kind of thing was pure superstition, what if he had made an oath and it really came true in the end?!

“Hmph! People who have a guilty conscience naturally don’t dare to say it!”

“Alright!”

In the end, Old Master Gu stood up. His sharp eyes swept across Lan Yue and her son. The two of them were so scared that they didn’t dare to make a sound, he said in a deep voice, “Now that Nancheng’s wife has married into the family, in the future, the two of you, mother and son, don’t come to the front yard. As for Nancheng’s wife, don’t go to the back building in the future.”

Bai Ping’s expression was sullen, as if he was very dissatisfied with Old Master Gu’s treatment. Fang Tong glanced at her and understood Old Master Gu’s painstaking efforts. She could only nod. “I understand, grandfather.”

“I understand, uncle-grandpa.”
