Chapter 386: Grandmother’s Door

Chapter 386

Having Su and this specially appointed Fuyun Building owner come to investigate people was much better than her blindly groping around on her own.

In her previous life, she had suffered from being too honest, and because she had spent the first two years of her marriage only revolving around Jiang Yin, she was confined to the inner residence, competing and currying favor with all kinds of women, and had few friends.

She had to bear everything alone and swallow all grievances alone.

After being reborn, she finally knew what it felt like to be protected and doted on. She also knew that when she encountered difficulties and troubles, she could let her friends share the burden.

The Prince Consort let her rest and nurture the fetus in her womb, and didn't allow her to worry and overexert herself. She also thought that this child in her belly was the one she looked forward to most in her life, and she certainly couldn't let outsiders harm her child because of some outsiders.

So the matter of Mu Nanfeng was temporarily shelved for the time being.

Although Gu Wan’s marriage with the Fu family had not yet been finally settled, in order to avoid suspicion and prevent outsiders from gossiping, after the Fu family learned that Gu Wan had returned from the Ye Family Manor, they did not come to ask for an explanation.

It was unknown whether this could be considered a good thing, but at least the Fu family did not mention withdrawing from the engagement.

The Dongping Earl Manor had suffered successive incidents, and its reputation was no longer comparable to before. Now it couldn't withstand Gu Wan being withdrawn from marriage again.

The marriage of Gu Ying was also put on the agenda, and several families had been considered but were all rejected for one reason or another.

As for the deranged Gu Jia... after Jiang Yin’s death, she had become a widow and had always been kept in the Earl Manor.

It was a pity that Grandmother couldn't bear to see her granddaughter having no one to rely on in the future, and was actively looking for someone to propose another marriage for her everywhere.

When she went out, she was even using the identity of her eldest daughter, the wife of the Duke!

When Gu Ying heard about this, she directly cut off Grandmother's thoughts.

Afterwards, because of Gu Jia’s marriage and Gu Ming’s martial arts training, Grandmother sent greeting cards to the Duke Manor several times.

Gu Ying sat down again, cynical in her heart but smiling indifferently on her face, "If she is my sister, why doesn't she care about me as her younger sister?"

Gu Old Madam paused for a moment, impatiently said, "What can Jia do for you? You are the Princess Consort of the Duke Manor, you should help your sister a little, it’s only right. There is also the matter of Ming learning martial arts. I begged and pleaded to swallow my pride and come to ask you for help. He is also your brother. It just so happens that Gu Ning has a good mentor. What's the harm in letting Ming go there and learn for a while? You are all one family, why insist on being so estranged and unwilling to lend a hand to help your siblings?"

Such blatant favoritism was simply shameless.

Gu Ying sneered and hooked her lips, "I'm afraid Grandmother is mistaken, I and Gu Jia and Gu Ming can't really be considered siblings. My father and mother only have me and my brother as biological children. As for the children of the main branch, that is the main branch’s business and not for me to worry about."

Gu Old Madam didn't expect her to completely distance herself, and angrily said, "Gu Ying, how can you say such heartless words?"

Gu Ying raised her brow and said, "Why can't I say that? I'm not Gu Boyan's daughter anyway."

"You--" Gu Old Madam shot up, boiling with anger. Her old face flushed red, pointing her finger at Gu Ying's nose and gritting her teeth in anger, "You ungrateful child! Come back here! Do you really think the Gu Family can't get by without you?"

Gu Ying calmly sipped the pregnancy medicine handed over by her maid. She knew Grandmother was unhappy.

She was the granddaughter Grandmother disliked the most, yet she had married the best. She used to think that Grandmother would be proud of her, and tried her best in everything to please her.

Until living two lifetimes, she finally understood that no matter what she did, no matter if she married into a prestigious family and became a noble wife, Grandmother would never like her.

Moreover, Grandmother had provoked and created a rift between her and Father behind the scenes. In any case, this was not something a grandmother should do.

The former her would have felt wronged, distressed, and sad that Grandmother didn't care more about her.

But now, she had seen through Grandmother's true face. Other than disappointment, there was only disappointment. She no longer had any feelings for her.

Since this was the case, then as her brother said, she would no longer treat her as Grandmother, and if she was severing this kinship, then she would do so decisively and cleanly.

"Grandmother, please go back. I absolutely won't say a word for Gu Jia. As for Gu Ming, if he wants to go to the Ye Family to learn martial arts, I can reluctantly agree for Gu Ning's sake."

"Gu Ying! You damned girl! Come back here! Do you really think the Gu Family can't get by without you!" Gu Old Madam hobbled forward with her cane, trying to grab Gu Ying's hand.
