It seemed that Gu Shi was the only one who truly cared for Gu Yiyi.
‘Oh yeah… the lady—Feng Ruqing…’
“Father, Aunt has been staying with us for such a long time, when is she moving out? I don’t want to see both Aunt and An Cui again,” Gu Yiyi snarled. She did not even spare a glance at Zheng Fenghua.
“Yiyi… she is your mother’s sister after all. Now that your mother has pa.s.sed away, they are the only kin you have in this world.”
“I don’t care, I want them to move out of here. If they stay, I will move out. Both of them and I will never stay together!” Gu Yiyi’s face turned vicious. Perhaps An Cui had truly broken Gu Yiyi’s heart.
Burning with rage, Gu Yiyi glared at Zheng Fenghua. This time, not only was Zheng Fenghua stunned, Gu Shi was equally surprised.
Gu Shi quickly rushed over to stop Gu Yiyi from leaving. His face was ghastly pale.
“Oh dear, you are my daughter. Where you want to go if you leave here? If someone must leave, they should leave instead. I will get them out of here. I am old enough. Don’t frighten me so much. I can’t cope with too much anxiety.”
“Brother-in-law?” Zheng Fenghua’s eyes widened in shock as she turned to look at Gu Shi. She could not believe the things that she had just heard.
“Your husband dumped you for you had an affair with someone else. However, as you are my sister-in-law, I couldn’t sit back and do nothing. Hence, I had allowed you and An Cui to stay in Gu Manor. An Cui was just a newborn baby back then. I have let both of you stay here for so long, I have done my best to help.” Gu Shi’s face was cold and ruthless.
“Brother-in-law!” Zheng Fenghua flew into a great panic. She took a step forward and kneeled down before Gu Shi. Her eyes were flooded with tears. She looked extremely pathetic.
“Brother-in-law, don’t ignore me and Cui’er. What can we do after leaving Gu Manor? Moreover, Cui’er has reached the age of marriage. If you throw us out of the manor, what would the people out there say about us?”
As Zheng Fenghua was Gu Shi’s sister-in-law, she had managed to come by plenty of money and valuables all these years as the people out there had always wanted to keep in with Gu Manor.
Now that Zheng Fenghua had lost the shelter of Gu Manor. Who on earth would care for both of them? Perhaps, even the Mu family would call off the arranged marriage with An Cui.
All of a sudden, Zheng Fenghua turned to look at Gu Yiyi as if something crossed her mind.
‘Gu Yiyi must have known that the Mu family is taking Cui’er as Nan Xian’s concubine. As Cui’er was extremely gorgeous, Gu Yiyi was afraid that Nan Xian would fall for Cui’er. Hence, she is throwing us out of the manor so no one can share Young Master Nan Xian’s affections. She is truly vicious! However, Gu Yiyi should know it herself that she is as fat as a pig. If she was not the manor lady of Gu Manor, Nan Xian would never even spare a glance at her. Only a fair lady like Cui’er is a perfect match for Young Master Nan Xian.’
“Father, look at her. She is still staring at me!” Gu Yiyi tugged at Gu Shi’s sleeve.
Gu Shi glanced at Zheng Fenghua. Stunned, Zheng Fenghua’s face stiffened.
“Brother-in-law, I didn’t. I truly don’t know what Cui’er had done that Yiyi is treating us like this.”
“Yiyi will never make trouble out of nothing. If she doesn’t want both of you to stay, then the two of you must have done something wrong. I am giving you a day to pack and move out of here.” Gu Shi’s face was cold and indifferent.
