Chapter 397: Farce at the Door
When Xie Yiyao heard that her second uncle was deeply hurt by love, she thought of the things she had done and suddenly felt uneasy. She quickly changed the subject:
"What kind of attitude do I have with my uncle, that he has to support their whole family?"
"How could that be possible! Your uncle has made his attitude very clear. They have already separated, so of course they live their own lives. There is nothing to say. But Gu Youcai is shameless. He brings his whole family to squat in front of our house all day long. It's really infuriating!"
Yang was so angry that her heart ached. She really wanted to chase them away with a broom, but her father-in-law said that their every word and action was being watched, and they had to be more careful in their daily lives, otherwise they might cause trouble for Yao girl. She didn't know what to do!
With so much talent nowhere to display, Yang was so depressed that she couldn't sleep at night, had no appetite, and even lost a lot of weight!
"Yes! Yes! Your parents and your brother and sister-in-law are here to see you, why don't you see us?"
Just as Yang and Xie Yiyao were talking, a woman's miserable cries were heard outside again. The voice seemed to contain unspeakable sadness and helplessness of being abandoned by her family.
Yang was a little nervous when she heard this: "Yao girl, you and the emperor are now supported by the people. Will this be harmful to your reputation?"
Yang was now angry and anxious. According to her previous temper, these people could not last two rounds in front of her.
But now the identity of their girl Yao is different. Yao is the queen of the Great Deng. Even if they are leaving here and going to the Yunqi Continent, Yao is destined to be written into the history books and will be remembered in the history books in the future.
She was really afraid that this unscrupulous family would make a scene and make people think that the Gu family was relying on the power of Yao Yatou to ignore their poor relatives.
If that happens, the reputation of their little girl will be tarnished with a stain that can never be erased!
The more Yang thought about it, the angrier she became, and she wished she could kill the entire family of the eldest wife. However, in this world, even if you didn't do anything wrong, some people can make up a story about you based on some unfounded rumors.
If she really did it, it would definitely leave traces. She is really afraid of hurting herself now, and the blood circulation in her body is blocked!
"Aunt, when did you start caring about these empty reputations? Let's go and meet them!"
Xie Yiyao looked at Yang in some confusion. The first family took advantage of the mentality of her aunt and grandfather and dared to make such a big noise without restraint.
"Don't go, little girl. I'll go take a look!"
Gu Xiucai walked out with a gloomy face. He came out as soon as he heard the sound.
The reason why he had been so patient these past two days was because he was afraid of affecting Xie Yiyao's reputation. Now, of course, he didn't want her to go to the door and get entangled with these ruffians.
His granddaughter now enjoys a high prestige among the people. He cannot provide any additional support for her and can only think about not holding her back.
However, it seems that he has finally caused trouble for his granddaughter. It all comes down to his incompetence as a grandfather.
"It's okay, Grandpa, I'll go check it out."
Xie Yiyao said nonchalantly that she didn't quite agree with her grandfather's idea. Isn't the purpose of a family to support each other and stay together until old age?
Gu Xiucai wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that Xie Yiyao was almost reaching the gate, he realized that shouting would only arouse people's curiosity and attract more onlookers, so he had to shut up, but he was already furious.
At this moment, he felt even more disgusted with the first wife!
When Xie Yiyao arrived at the gate, she smiled as soon as she saw everything. Gu Youcai, his old wife, Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia's favorite daughter-in-law, Xia Chunhua, were all there.
The whole family was crying and wailing at the door, it was so miserable. Of course, Gu Youcai was still the same as she remembered. He was smart enough not to get involved. No matter how Old Lady Xia and Xia Chunhua cried and made a fuss, he just squatted aside smoking a pipe, not participating, not stopping, and not expressing any opinions, as if he was staying out of it.
It was as if his wife and daughter-in-law were making trouble here without his instruction.
This kind of person is really pathetic. He always thinks that he is the smartest and that he has everyone manipulated in the palm of his hand. He is so immersed in his cleverness that others cannot see through him. In fact, others have already seen through him clearly.
Xie Yiyao glanced at Gu Youcai with disdain. She hated this kind of mean and sinister people the most.
The common people gathered at the gate were looking at Old Lady Xia and Xia Chunhua crying outside the Gu family's gate with curiosity. When they saw Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi coming out, they all knelt down and shouted:
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
"The Queen is a thousand years old!"
The sound was deafening, and scared Old Lady Xia, Xia Chunhua, and Gu Youcai so much that they hurriedly followed the common people and knelt down. Old Lady Xia and Xia Chunhua looked at Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi with some fear.
Feng Junyi asked the people to stand up, and then looked at them coldly:
"Do you know your guilt for making such a commotion in the current queen's maternal grandfather's house?"
There was fear and excitement in the eyes of Old Lady Xia and Xia Chunhua. They were afraid that Feng Junyi would chop off their heads.
But when they thought about making a scene in front of Gu Siming's house today, everyone would know that they were relatives of the Gu family, and they could openly get involved with the Gu family in the future!
They just felt like they were hit by overwhelming wealth, their heads were even a little dizzy, and their feet felt like they were stepping on cotton.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Xia rushed over regardless, hugged Gu Siming's legs and cried:
"Third brother! Sister-in-law knows that we were wrong to you back then, but it's been so many years since it happened. You should let go of your grudge even if you have a huge grudge. After all, we are blood relatives who are connected by bones and tendons!"
The people watching nearby were all confused. Wasn’t their Queen’s maternal grandfather a hermit family?
How could there be such unpresentable relatives?
Xie Yiyao looked at Old Lady Xia who was crying loudly while hugging her grandfather's legs, and kicked her several meters away.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My grandfather has nothing to do with you."
Xie Yiyao looked at Old Lady Xia and said.
"Why is it okay? My son Yougen is still living in your Gu family!"
A hint of pride flashed in Old Lady Xia's eyes. If it weren't for the fact that her unpopular son had married into Gu Siming's high family, she really wouldn't have dared to come and make trouble!
"Yougen? There is no such person as Yougen in our family."
Xie Yiyao had a half-smile on her face.
The onlookers thought about it carefully and realized that yes, there were four masters in the Gu family, namely Gu Yulang, Gu Yubai, Gu Yuze and Gu Yuan.
Gu Yu'an and Gu Yuze are orphans taken in by the kind-hearted old man of the Gu family. Gu Yu'an is the long-lost biological son of a wealthy family. Why is there no one named Gu Yougen?
Oh, right!
Recently, it seems that Uncle Gu Yulang of the Gu family has been following a man from Gujia Village. It is said that he has a similar style to Uncle Gu Yulang in farming.
At present, Uncle Gu has been guiding him hand in hand, hoping that he can become the second person in Da Deng to be awarded a title by growing high-yield crops.
"Hey, what's the name of the person following Master Gu?"
The curious onlookers couldn't help but ask the people around them,
"I really want to call him Gu Yin. He is said to be a distant relative of the old man from the Gu family."
The person being asked recalled for a long time before slapping his thigh and saying, then whispered to the person beside him:
"Just look at his name and you'll know he has an unusual background, otherwise how could Master Gu take him wherever he goes!"
"That's right! That's right! The first time I saw him I knew he must be a hermit!"
Xie Yiyao listened to the conversation of the onlookers and the corners of her mouth twitched. For the first time, she felt that imagination was a virtue!
I never thought that my grandfather disliked Gu Shugen's name because it sounded rustic, and he changed his name with the intention of preventing others from easily seeing his true intentions and making him good at hiding himself.
Also, my grandfather hoped that he wouldn't be too ostentatious, but I didn't expect it would be interpreted this way.
Old Lady Xia widened her eyes. Impossible!
She saw Gu Yougen and Gu Yulang going out together this morning, and she specifically picked out Yougen to make trouble. After all, this ungrateful guy no longer acknowledged her as his father and mother!
"Who in Gujia Village doesn't know that you tortured your mother-in-law and starved her to death in the woodshed? How can you care about brotherhood when you don't even care about your own mother?"
Xie Yiyao looked at Old Lady Xia and spoke.
Old Lady Xia was horrified when she heard this. Her mother-in-law was also Gu Siming's biological mother. With Gu Siming's current status and position, he would definitely not want anyone to know that his parents were tortured to death.
She dared to come and make trouble just because she was sure of this. She didn't expect that this damn girl Xie Yiyao was still as fearless as before and was not afraid of affecting her reputation at all.
This time, Old Lady Xia couldn't do anything about it. She looked at Xie Yiyao in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
