Chapter 24
"Huh! I don't believe it. My uncle used to be so angry. If someone looked at you like that, and you hit someone when you got up early, someone must be afraid of death to stop you."
Listening to her words, Yuan Xian'er wanted to say, "If you can do it, go ahead, but if you can't, don't do it."
But she didn't dare! As soon as she said this, her identity would be exposed!
So she could only say, "Sister Lin is so kind to your third uncle. I really wish he wouldn't be beaten, and then get more injured, maybe dying or something. She is such a good niece!"
After saying that, she smiled and applauded Gu Lin.
Gu Lin heard the meaning of her words, blushed with embarrassment, and explained, "That's not what I meant, please don't frame me."
"Oh? Then may I ask my eldest niece, what do you mean when you say that? Are you blaming me for not stopping you?"
"I...I..." Gu Lin didn't say a word for a long time and was about to cry out of embarrassment.
But for a moment, she burst into tears in the eyes of everyone, and said with a choked voice, "I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that, uncle, you have to believe me..."
Seeing her daughter being reviled so much that she couldn't even speak, she was so embarrassed that as the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Yao couldn't sit still anymore.
She said angrily, "Okay, third brother and sister, Lin'er didn't mean that either. She just wanted to protect the reputation of our Gu family in front of everyone."
"After all, the Gu family is not like some families who have not accumulated inheritance. It doesn't matter whether they are famous or not. They can do whatever they want and do whatever they want."
"She just feels that she can't forget her surname Gu no matter where she is. She's just a little upset when you stop her like that. She doesn't really want her third brother to be beaten!"
Xu Maqian was a little confused listening to her words. Why did she think this Yao family was a metaphor for their Xu family?
Being willful and acting recklessly are all things that the original owner Xu Muqian can do.
"Sister-in-law is right, I shouldn't stop people."
"Next time there are officials like this again, you must go up and argue with them. I will never stop you, and I will give you absolute support."
"I am a person who likes to protect the Gu family's face. After all, the Gu family is also my family."
"you!"
Yao was completely speechless by her words. When did she say she would meet next time?
"time to eat!"
"Also, starting from today, we will travel fifty miles a day. Everyone has a certain idea in mind. If you are slow, don't blame our big whip on you. After all, we still have three thousand miles to go."
When everyone heard that they had to go fifty miles, they no longer thought about talking, they just wanted to eat quickly and get on their way.
Otherwise, if I haven’t walked enough today, they won’t let me rest.
Everyone had breakfast before it was fully dark, and the group set off in a grand way.
Walking on the road, Xu Muchian held Brother Zhao in his arms and looked at the red clouds in the sky.
I sighed, it's so beautiful! I wish I hadn't seen it on the road to exile.
It’s so beautiful, and being able to sit down and appreciate it is one of the beautiful things in life.
Gu Huaijin, who was following Xu Muzhen, saw her looking up at the sky, and felt uncomfortable and guilty. She was really wronged for following him.
She was originally a sweet girl from a wealthy family, but she was implicated by him and was exiled, suffering so much.
"I'm really sorry for making you suffer with me!"
"What? What did you say?" Xu Muchian, who was sighing at the scenery, turned around and asked.
She only focused on looking at the scenery and didn't listen to a word Gu Huaijin said.
"I mean I will be good to you in the future."
"Ah! Are you...are you ashamed? My son is still in my arms!" Xu Muzhen gave him an angry look.
Gu Huaijin saw the shyness in her eyes and said with a smile, "We Zhao'er didn't hear anything, right?"
Seeing his father winking at him, Gu Zhao said in a very shameless manner, "No, I heard everything. You said you should treat my mother well in the future, hum! I will keep an eye on you in the future!"
Looking at Gu Zhao with a look on his face, Gu Huaijin laughed. This brat didn't give his father any face.
Ever since his relationship with Xu Muzhen became better, he has always followed his mother's lead.
Gu Lin, who was following behind, said disdainfully to her mother, "Third Aunt is really not ashamed. She was flirting with Third Uncle in front of Brother Zhao."
"And the third uncle was captured by the third aunt in just two days. The change is really fast. Has he forgotten the Lin family sister?"
"Okay, what do you look like, gossiping about your elders here, and your father will scold you later if he hears it."
Mrs. Yao looked at her daughter, how could she not look like a lady at all?
Even the emotional rights and wrongs of the elders were discussed.
Gu Lin became dissatisfied after being scolded and said aggrievedly, "Mom~! Now you won't even help me? Do you even want to turn to the third aunt? I just feel that the third uncle is not as good to me as my cousin!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I turn on her? Besides, he is your third uncle after all, so you can't be rude!"
Yao just felt that since Gu Huaijin was also her husband's younger brother, it would be better than Gu Huairui being a cousin!
After all, they are brothers from the same belly, and their blood relationship is always stronger.
You can't offend them all just because you don't like the Xu family.
Just stay on top of things and ask them to help you better if you have anything to do in the future!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yao suddenly regretted that she should not have broken up with Mr. Xu just to vent her anger.
She should be patient and just use the elder sister-in-law to press her down, so that she can do things neatly.
Alas! What a regret!
From now on, let's see if we can ease the relationship with her a little bit.
Not long after their group set out on their journey, they heard an exclamation.
Xu Maqian hugged Gu Zhao and looked around. It was Mrs. Qi Liu who was at the back and fell to the ground.
Her whole body was extremely weak and she was already on the verge of death.
When the escort officer behind saw someone stopping and hiding, he swung his whip and said, "Get up, hurry up, don't delay your journey!"
There was a "snap" sound and it hit Ms. Liu's body. She screamed in pain and couldn't get up even more. She also fainted.
But Qi Bin, who could have protected Mrs. Liu, was so frightened that he hid aside when he saw the whip coming.
I was afraid of hitting him.
Xu Muchian looked at it and shook his head. Such a man really didn't deserve a wife.
Realizing that his actions were a bit embarrassing, Qi Bin quickly reached out to help Liu, and explained to the escorting officer, "Sir, my wife is feeling a little unwell, please bear with me."
"Not feeling well? I think you are just lazy and don't want to rush on your way again! Get up quickly." The escort officer doesn't care what excuse you give, as long as it delays your journey.
He whipped his whip at them again.
