Chapter 794: They Did It for Nothing
Editor: Henyee Translations
This torture lasted until their Zhou Mansion planned to move his entire family to the Xuanhe Prefecture.
Gu Dafeng and her husband naturally came along.
When they first arrived at Xuanhe Prefecture, Gu Qiuyue was still unwilling to let them off. However, not long after, Gu Qiuyue suddenly stopped. Although she was still secretly humiliating them, she was no longer so brazen.
Gu Dafeng found it strange. Later, she heard that it was because Old Master had brought Mrs. Zhou back.
Mrs. Zhou was very dissatisfied with Zhou Dafu’s concubine. Furthermore, she quarreled with Zhou Dafu and left the Zhou Mansion to return to her maternal family in Yongning Prefecture.
Mrs. Zhou felt that Zhou Dafu was so unscrupulous because he saw that Yongning Prefecture had suffered a disaster and felt that her maternal family had also suffered heavy losses and could not be her backer. He actually said in front of her that he wanted to take a widow who had given birth to a child as a concubine.
In a fit of anger, she went home to find someone to support her. Fortunately, although her family had suffered some losses, not everyone could bully them.
After her family recovered, they sent someone to settle scores with Zhou Dafu.
However, Gu Qiuyue often starved them and only gave them porridge a day to barely fill their stomachs.
Gu Dafeng and her husband were locked up in the backyard like prisoners.
However, the two still had hope. They still wanted to leave this place. Bian Han used to be a carpenter and knew how to carve gadgets.
Gu Dafeng stayed in the backyard for a while and got someone to bring back some wood that others did not want, as well as two carving knives.
Mrs. Ren did see it, but she saw that Bian Han’s carving was quite good-looking. Anyway, as long as they did not cause trouble, it was fine to carve some things.
Mrs. Ren even took Father Bian’s carvings to sell. Although the price was not high, she still earned some extra income.
Because of this, Mrs. Ren turned a blind eye and even helped to persuade Gu Qiuyue when she found out. That was why she didn’t let Gu Qiuyue take their things away.
However, what Mrs. Ren did gave Gu Dafeng some inspiration.
If she could sell them, could she do the same?
Although they were said to be Gu Qiuyue’s servants, they were different from ordinary servants. They did not have any monthly allowance. Gu Qiuyue said that she had already paid their monthly allowance for Bian Han’s treatment in advance, so they had done the work for nothing.
