The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 37: Ridiculous

Mrs. Gu Sr. had a puzzled expression on her face, "Calling Yixuan out? The more I listen to Madam’s words, the more confused I, this old woman, become."

Even if the son acted foolishly and did foolish things, Mrs. Gu Sr. did not intend to let the Duke Mansion exploit this matter.

If it’s indeed the shameless girl raised by the Duke Mansion, she must bear this mistake.

Mrs. Gao’s face turned bright red; Mrs. Gu Sr.’s prior wisdom made it hard to believe she couldn’t see through her previous actions. Now, the apparent pretense of ignorance indicated something to Mrs. Gao, and she immediately understood that Mrs. Gu Sr. already knew what was happening and why she was here.

For a moment, a breath was stuck in her chest, and Mrs. Gao’s vision darkened. She almost passed out.

Her hand gripped the armrest tightly, feeling guilty because of her previous selfish thoughts when facing Mrs. Gu Sr.

Even though she wanted to save her daughter now, she also wanted to shift the blame onto the Marquis Mansion.

But even before meeting Gu Er, Mrs. Gu Sr. seemed to know her intention, her heart as clear as a mirror, directly pretending to be confused.

But if one doesn’t act for themselves, they risk certain death.

Even though her daughter lowered her head in the Marquis Mansion because of this, she feared that once married into the Marquis Mansion, she would never be able to stand tall, forever under their control.

Mrs. Gao tightened her grip on the armrest again, "I can’t understand this matter on my own. Sister Ru over there only mentioned it was the Second Young Master’s fault, so I thought to call the Second Young Master out to ask."

The smile on Mrs. Gu Sr.’s face slowly faded, and her originally gentle gaze towards Mrs. Gao became sharper. She gradually sat up from her reclining position, with a voice steady yet imbued with authority, "So this involves Sister Ru as well. Then bring Yixuan out. I, this old woman, am curious about what matter has made Madam come and go, leaving Sister Ru who fell into the water."

A sentence hit Mrs. Gao like a slap across the face.

If Mrs. Gu Sr. were just an ordinary woman, the Marquis Mansion wouldn’t have today’s prosperity. But their Duke Mansion also accompanied the former emperor in conquering the land, thinking that even if they offend Mrs. Gu Sr. today, they must fight for their daughter’s honor.

Mrs. Gao took a deep breath, her previously wavering determination becoming firm.

She lifted her lips, her expression turning different from before, "I also want to hear what the Second Young Master of the mansion has to say."

Mrs. Gu Sr. lowered her eyelids and didn’t look at her, simply instructing to the back, "Yixuan, you’ve heard the words of the Duchess. Come out."

Mrs. Gao was slightly taken aback.

She looked up at Mrs. Gu Sr., hearing the immediate commotion beside her, she turned her head, only to see Gu Yixuan coming out from the inner room by passing through the green gauze cabinet.

Facing Mrs. Gao’s gaze, Gu Yixuan’s face was stormy and unpleasant.

Apparently dissatisfied with Mrs. Gao’s attitude towards Mrs. Gu Sr.

"Son pays respects to Mother." Gu Yixuan, having listened inside, soon understood why his mother was angry with him, even if he were a fool.

Yet he didn’t know what Mrs. Gao had said and how it had offended the Duke Mansion to make his mother scold him this way.

Suyi, who came out with Gu Yixuan, stepped back and stood behind Mrs. Gu Sr., observing attentively.

Mrs. Gu Sr. responded lightly, "Madam family-in-law is here, why aren’t you paying respects?"

Only then did Gu Yixuan obediently bow to Mrs. Gao, paying respects.

Mrs. Gao’s face was beyond description in its ugliness.

Clearly, Gu Er was in the room, yet Mrs. Gu Sr. didn’t mention it. Now, Gu Er’s attitude towards her revealed Mrs. Gu Sr.’s intentions.

After Gu Yixuan paid his respects, he didn’t wait for Mrs. Gao to speak; he found a chair opposite and sat down, completely ignoring Mrs. Gao.

Thinking about her daughter lying on the bed with a pale face, flames of anger burned in Mrs. Gao’s chest, making her yearn to slap Gu Er right across the face.
