The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 36: Seeking Him Out

After Suyi led Gu Yixuan to retreat to the inner room, Mrs. Gu Sr. closed her eyes and slowly fiddled with the prayer beads in her hand, "Some things, even if you want to pretend to be oblivious, you can’t avoid, what is meant to happen will still happen."

Even if the second son was at fault, if the girl from the Duke Mansion knew decency, the second son couldn’t succeed, and how could such a thing happen?

It’s a doomed fate, a doomed fate.

Gu Yifeng sat to the side, not speaking a word, until Wenxin came in with Mrs. Gao. Only then did Gu Yifeng nod, and Mrs. Gao, upon seeing Gu Yifeng, was slightly startled, her expression changing unpredictably, as she stepped forward to pay respects.

Gu Yifeng accepted the greeting and then took his leave from Mrs. Gu Sr., retreating outwards.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, with such an incident taking place and the Marquis present, she would have truly been at a loss for words.

"Is everything alright with Sister Ru over there?" Mrs. Gu Sr. spoke kindly, like a loving elderly.

The previously stern countenance had disappeared.

Mrs. Gao sat at the side seat, smiling reluctantly, "Why haven’t I seen the Second Young Master of the mansion? I’ve not seen him since I came to the mountain this time."

Thinking of the daughter lying in bed, her face pale without a hint of color, as well as the piece of flesh in her belly that could be pulled out at any time, Mrs. Gao was restless, unable to sit still.

But in front of the old madam of the Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Gao couldn’t help but feel intimidated. Years ago, when men of the Gu Mansion were all gone, leaving only widows and orphans, it was her and her sister-in-law who supported the household, and now it had become the reputable family that noble families flocked to associate with.

A gateway supported by two widows, yet not a single bad reputation had spread, showing how important they regarded family honor.

Thinking of her daughter’s situation now... Mrs. Gao felt a headache coming on.

If she doesn’t resolve her daughter’s matter now, once they return to the mansion, the old madam might directly send her daughter to the family temple.

Like a flower, her daughter would end up with such a fate.

Mrs. Gao couldn’t bear it, so she thickened her skin to come here.

Mrs. Gu Sr.’s expression didn’t change, she smiled and said, "He’s helping me select scriptures, his aunt has passed away, and he should fulfill his filial duties." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

A word of filial piety choked Mrs. Gao, leaving her unsure how to continue.

Mrs. Gao tightened her grip on the handkerchief, then smiled and said, "The Second Young Master of the mansion was raised under my watch since he was young. The two mansions are as neighbors, and he has played with our Sister Ru since childhood. Back then, you used to tease their young love, saying that after marriage, they wouldn’t have any inner house matters that would trouble us."

Mrs. Gu Sr. nodded with a gentle smile, seemingly reminiscing about the past as well.

"Back then, we thought that this pair of destined lovers would lessen our worries, who would have thought..." Mrs. Gao couldn’t help but pick up the handkerchief to wipe her tears as she spoke halfway, "I really don’t know how to speak to the old madam, if it weren’t for that fated matter, I wouldn’t even have the face to come and see the old madam, it’s my failure to properly teach my daughter."

Mrs. Gu Sr. showed a look of surprise on her face, but her eyes were filled with shadowy gloom. She sat up straight, "What happened? Sister Ru was raised pampered, even if she is a bit spoiled, there’s a limit. Why do you cry? If you cry more, won’t it seem like this old woman bullied you in the eyes of the servants, and even Sister Ru will disapprove."

Saying this, Mrs. Gu Sr. filled her tone with jest.

This kind of performance by Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Gu Sr. did not like. Not properly bringing up a daughter, at this moment still making others to accept, where is this family’s propriety and manners?

Previously, it was merely thought that her son liked it so it didn’t matter, after all it was related to the Duke Mansion.

At this point, Mrs. Gu Sr. realized she had thought wrong. Over the years, she was too focused on vegetarian diet and chanting in the Buddhist Hall, rarely stepping outside, not noticing the Duke Mansion’s reputation.

Listening to Mrs. Gu Sr.’s dismissive words, Mrs. Gao dabbed her tears with the handkerchief again, then looked up with a smile, "Look at me, at this age, making the old madam laugh at my expense, this matter I can’t explain in a short time, I wonder if the Second Young Master of the mansion can be called out?"
