After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me-Chapter 386: Grandmother’s Door

Having Su and this specially appointed Fuyun Building owner come to investigate people was much better than her blindly groping around on her own.

In her previous life, she had suffered from being too honest, and because she had spent the first two years of her marriage only revolving around Jiang Yin, she was confined to the inner residence, competing and currying favor with all kinds of women, and had few friends.

She had to bear everything alone and swallow all grievances alone.

After being reborn, she finally knew what it felt like to be protected and doted on. She also knew that when she encountered difficulties and troubles, she could let her friends share the burden.

The Prince Consort let her rest and nurture the fetus in her womb, and didn't allow her to worry and overexert herself. She also thought that this child in her belly was the one she looked forward to most in her life, and she certainly couldn't let outsiders harm her child because of some outsiders.

So the matter of Mu Nanfeng was temporarily shelved for the time being.

Although Gu Wan’s marriage with the Fu family had not yet been finally settled, in order to avoid suspicion and prevent outsiders from gossiping, after the Fu family learned that Gu Wan had returned from the Ye Family Manor, they did not come to ask for an explanation.

It was unknown whether this could be considered a good thing, but at least the Fu family did not mention withdrawing from the engagement.

The Dongping Earl Manor had suffered successive incidents, and its reputation was no longer comparable to before. Now it couldn't withstand Gu Wan being withdrawn from marriage again.

The marriage of Gu Ying was also put on the agenda, and several families had been considered but were all rejected for one reason or another.

As for the deranged Gu Jia... after Jiang Yin’s death, she had become a widow and had always been kept in the Earl Manor.

It was a pity that Grandmother couldn't bear to see her granddaughter having no one to rely on in the future, and was actively looking for someone to propose another marriage for her everywhere.

When she went out, she was even using the identity of her eldest daughter, the wife of the Duke!

When Gu Ying heard about this, she directly cut off Grandmother's thoughts.

Afterwards, because of Gu Jia’s marriage and Gu Ming’s martial arts training, Grandmother sent greeting cards to the Duke Manor several times.

Gu Ying declined twice, giving them a warning, and only met with her on the third time.

Inside the Changfeng Pavilion, on the Luohan bed.

Grandmother was still the same grandmother, dignified and tranquil. Those dim old eyes showed a sharpness that could not be ignored, and was also full of deep resentment and grievances.

The half-crazy and half-confused Gu Jia wore exquisite smoky purple brocade long dress, drooling while sitting next to Grandmother.

A mad woman with her hair neatly styled, head full of pearls and jewels, dazzling and brilliant.

It could be seen that the person taking care of her was extremely patient and caring.

Gu Ying smiled mockingly, her eyes sweeping over her empty and foolish gaze, she really could no longer associate this person with her ruthless and heartless eldest sister from her previous life.

The winds of karma really took turn blowing east for thirty years and west for thirty years.

In this life, she didn't take her life but let her live without dignity, which could also be considered an act of great compassion on her part.

Gu Old Madam sat stiffly, speaking sarcastically, "Now that you've become the Princess Consort of the Duke Manor, you've made quite a name for yourself. For me to see you, I have to bow down and beg three times. If this gets out, who wouldn't say my second branch’s daughter has done well for herself?"

Gu Ying smiled without emotion, the smile not reaching her eyes, "If Grandmother is here just to pick a fight, this granddaughter will not entertain you, after all this granddaughter is pregnant with the Prince Consort's child. If something happens with the fetus, when the Prince Consort asks, I can't say it was because Grandmother got angry, right?"

Gu Old Madam was rendered speechless, her brows knitted tightly into the shape of the character chuan 川, her face black with anger.

She didn't expect Gu Ying to be so unmoved today, showing no respect for her at all, and even daring to use the Prince Consort to pressure her.

She really didn't put her grandmother in her eyes at all!

Seeing Gu Ying about to leave with the help of her maid, she couldn't hold back and called her back. She spoke righteously, "Jia is your eldest sister, she has cared for you since you were young, inseparable from you. She was very good to you. Ying, it's been so long, you’ve married the Prince Consort, and your eldest sister has also repented about Jiang Yin’s matter. Everyone says there are no overnight grudges between loved ones. No matter what, Jiang Yin was still an outsider after all. You and Jia are blood-related sisters. In the future, you sisters will have to rely on each other for life. Don't you care about her? Do you only care about your own reputation?"

How could she, as a grandmother, say such words?

Gu Ying sat down again, cynical in her heart but smiling indifferently on her face, "If she is my sister, why doesn't she care about me as her younger sister?"

Gu Old Madam paused for a moment, impatiently said, "What can Jia do for you? You are the Princess Consort of the Duke Manor, you should help your sister a little, it’s only right. There is also the matter of Ming learning martial arts. I begged and pleaded to swallow my pride and come to ask you for help. He is also your brother. It just so happens that Gu Ning has a good mentor. What's the harm in letting Ming go there and learn for a while? You are all one family, why insist on being so estranged and unwilling to lend a hand to help your siblings?"

Such blatant favoritism was simply shameless. fr𝚎𝗲𝐰ebnov𝐞𝐥.𝐜o𝗺

Gu Ying sneered and hooked her lips, "I'm afraid Grandmother is mistaken, I and Gu Jia and Gu Ming can't really be considered siblings. My father and mother only have me and my brother as biological children. As for the children of the main branch, that is the main branch’s business and not for me to worry about."

Gu Old Madam didn't expect her to completely distance herself, and angrily said, "Gu Ying, how can you say such heartless words?"

Gu Ying raised her brow and said, "Why can't I say that? I'm not Gu Boyan's daughter anyway."

"You--" Gu Old Madam shot up, boiling with anger. Her old face flushed red, pointing her finger at Gu Ying's nose and gritting her teeth in anger, "You ungrateful child! Come back here! Do you really think the Gu Family can't get by without you?"

Gu Ying calmly sipped the pregnancy medicine handed over by her maid. She knew Grandmother was unhappy.

She was the granddaughter Grandmother disliked the most, yet she had married the best. She used to think that Grandmother would be proud of her, and tried her best in everything to please her.

Until living two lifetimes, she finally understood that no matter what she did, no matter if she married into a prestigious family and became a noble wife, Grandmother would never like her.

Moreover, Grandmother had provoked and created a rift between her and Father behind the scenes. In any case, this was not something a grandmother should do.

The former her would have felt wronged, distressed, and sad that Grandmother didn't care more about her.

But now, she had seen through Grandmother's true face. Other than disappointment, there was only disappointment. She no longer had any feelings for her.

Since this was the case, then as her brother said, she would no longer treat her as Grandmother, and if she was severing this kinship, then she would do so decisively and cleanly.

"Grandmother, please go back. I absolutely won't say a word for Gu Jia. As for Gu Ming, if he wants to go to the Ye Family to learn martial arts, I can reluctantly agree for Gu Ning's sake."

"Gu Ying! You damned girl! Come back here! Do you really think the Gu Family can't get by without you!" Gu Old Madam hobbled forward with her cane, trying to grab Gu Ying's hand.
