Chapter 1529: Madam Jiang’s Broken Brains
Editor: Henyee Translations
The woman on the bed didn’t say anything, so Mrs. Jiang continued, "She’s from the capital. Mother said that she’s here to pick us up. We’ll be able to leave this godforsaken place soon, and the whole Gu family can go back to the capital. Do you think it’s good news?"
Then, she suddenly shook her head. "No, it’s good news for our Gu family. It’s not necessarily the case for you, the daughter of the Gu family, who has already married. After all, you’re already a wife of the Luo family now. We can’t take you away."
The person on the bed was the daughter of Aunt Qiu, Gu Yuwen, who had been exiled to Linxun Island with Gu Yiping.
When she heard Mrs. Jiang’s words, she only frowned slightly, and a trace of disgust and hatred flashed across her face.
Mrs. Jiang seemed to be very satisfied with her expression. She opened the basket on the table and said, "Today, someone from the capital brought us specialties from the capital. As your sister-in-law, I missed you, so I secretly got you some meat when she wasn’t paying attention."
The corners of Gu Yuwen’s mouth twitched mockingly. "Ahem, no need. Ahem... Sister-in-law, bring it back. Even if you give it to me, I won’t be able to eat it."
"Hey, even if you can’t eat it, your Luo Qi should be able to eat it. Look at that child. She’s so thin that she’s out of shape. If you don’t feel sorry for yourself, you should feel sorry for your daughter. How long has it been since she ate meat? At least nourish her."
Then, ignoring Gu Yuwen’s refusal, she put down the meat and left.
"What about you? Have a good rest. It might be the last time the two of us meet."
As soon as he finished speaking, she disappeared from the courtyard.
Gu Yuwen coughed heavily and her eyes were very indifferent.
However, very quickly, footsteps came from outside the door.
A small figure ran in. "Mother, Mother, I’m back."
The indifference on Gu Yuwen’s face disappeared instantly. She put on a warm smile and looked at the girl at the door. "Qi’er, you’re back?"
"Mother, I..." She walked closer and immediately saw the bowl of meat on the table. "This is..."
"Sister-in-law sent this over." The smile on Gu Yuwen’s face faded a little. Then, there was a hint of mockery. "She said it was to nourish your body. Qi’er, did you hear anything outside?"
Luo Qi’s face stiffened and she pursed her lips. She originally did not want to tell her mother, but she did not expect Mrs. Jiang to come.
Therefore, she could only nod and say, "The Gu family’s guests were here. I heard that they’re nobles from the capital. They might help the Gu family and take them back to the capital." As she spoke, she suddenly became angry. "Why? Why can the Gu family go back to the capital?"
Gu Yuwen raised her hand and grabbed her frail little hand. Her heart ached.
She was already a dying woman. She could sense that she wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer. But what would happen to her daughter after she died?
Although the Gu family was her maternal family, they were similar to an enemy.
Moreover, the Gu family was a fire pit. Everyone was crazy. She would never dare to entrust her daughter to them.
Seeing that her mother was worried, Luo Qi quickly said, "Mother, rest first. I’ll return the meat to them. Mrs. Jiang used this method to frame us in the past. Now, she’s doing it again. I won’t let her succeed."
Luo Qi felt that Mrs. Jiang’s brain was abnormal. She had been oppressed by others in the Gu family, and now, she came to her house to look for the mother and daughter’s discomfort. Her entire heart was already twisted.
Luo Qi carried the bowl and placed it in a basket. Soon, she ran toward the Gu family.
