Gu Chengrui was stunned momentarily, as he didn’t expect Yang Wanning to wake up this quickly. He quickly asked, “Is there anywhere you are feeling uncomfortable?”
“Apart from the dizziness, I’m fine.” Yang Wanning bowed and said, “Thank you, cousin, for saving me.”
“It’s nothing much. Come, have a seat.
“The dizziness is because you got hit by a rock. You’ll be fine after resting for two days.” Gu Chengrui explained.
The old woman immediately helped Yang Wanning sit on a stool at the side.
“Miss Yang has an injury on her head. Get the kitchen to prepare something light.” Zhou Huai Ming said to the old woman.
“Yes.” The old woman responded and turned to leave.
Gu Chengrui then asked, “Cousin, you just said that auntie froze to death. What’s with that?”
Yang Wanning lowered her head and clenched her fists. “After the incident with the Gu family, my mother did get anxious and fell ill once. It was also from then on that her status in the family lowered.
“However, she only fell ill because of the cold.
“In the winter of the year before last, it was especially cold after a snowfall.
There wasn’t enough charcoal going around, so the charcoal for the three of us was cut off. In less than two days, my mother…”
At the same time, Zhou Ying, who had been observing her with her spiritual senses, found a bone-deep hatred and killing intent in Yang Wanning’s eyes, which made her scalp tingle.
It seemed that this cousin-in-law of hers wasn’t that simple a person.
“Who was in charge of the Yang family at that time?” Gu Chengrui asked after a moment of silence.
“My grandmother, Madam Cui, and her niece, Mrs. Cui.”
“Mrs. Chui is the concubine who gave birth to the eldest son?”
“Yes, she’s the main wife now.”
“What do you plan to do next?” Gu Chengrui nodded and asked.
Although they were technically related to the Yang family as in-laws, they were of the younger generation. In addition, the Gu family was still guilty of their crimes, so they couldn’t interfere in the Yang family’s affairs.
Besides, he didn’t want to care too much about this.
Therefore, whether or not they live a good life depends on the siblings’ intentions.
If the siblings wanted to resist, Gu Chengrui didn’t mind helping them. Otherwise, he did not need to stir up trouble for them.
“Do you have my mother’s dowry list?” Yang Wanning raised her head and asked.
Gu Chengrui paused for a moment and shook his head. No, but there shouldn’t be any at home. Otherwise, your grandmother and the others wouldn’t have not mentioned it.”
“I understand.” Yang Wanning nodded in disappointment.
After a while, the old woman came in with a bowl of chicken soup noodles and handed it to Yang Wanning, saying, “Miss Yang, please.”
“Thank you, Granny Ma.” Yang Wanning turned her head and thanked her.
“You guys can chat first. If the three of you need anything, feel free to mention it to Granny Ma. Well have roast meat for dinner tonight.” Zhou Huaiming stood up and said.
“Okay, we just happened to bring some seasoning with us. You just need to prepare the meat, oven, and skewers.” Gu Chengrui sent him off after that.
Granny Ma saw this and immediately cleared the bowls and chopsticks off the table before leaving.
Only then did Yang Wanning pick up her chopsticks and eat her noodles.
She looked at Zhou Ying, who was drinking tea, and said, “You must be my third cousin’s wife. Thank you for taking care of me all the way here.”
“You’re too polite.” Zhou Ying shook her head and asked, “What’s the matter today that you must travel into the wilderness?”
“The Mother Goddess Temple is on the mountain over there. I followed my grandmother to the mountain yesterday to offer incense.
“This morning, my second sister suggested I go hunting in the mountains. It was just unexpected that this would be a trap.”
“She wants you to marry that scholar?”
“Yes, half a month ago, the Emperor issued an imperial decree for selecting consorts for the third, fourth, and seventh princes.
“The eldest daughter of a second-grade official or above is required to participate, and I’m the eldest daughter of the Yang family, so….”
