Even though Su Jiu is currently restricted by the emperor, anyone with a brain knows that it’s to keep Su Jiu away from the affairs of Su Qin and his wife.
If they were to act against Wang Jinhe without Su Yu noticing, that would be one thing. However, once Su Yu finds out, it’s equivalent to the emperor finding out. At that point, they would not only have to deal with the Su family and the Yang family.
“But what should we do? Our daughter can’t wait any longer,” Madam Gu said anxiously.
The head of the Gu family certainly knew that their daughter couldn’t wait, but the forces behind Wang Jinhe were too complex now.
“I see here that Wang Jinhe has a son as well. We…” Madam Gu’s eyes revealed a sinister look. Since they want their daughter to live, then they can only use unconventional means.
Presumably, Wang Jinhe would be willing to exchange her own life for her child’s.
“Don’t act recklessly. I’ll find a solution to this matter. Before I speak, it’s better for you to restrain yourself and not stir up trouble for me,” the head of the Gu family warned, looking at Madam Gu with a cold tone.
Madam Gu was very displeased with the head of the Gu family’s words. “You say you’ll find a solution? In the current situation, what other solution do we have? Besides taking the risk of targeting Wang Jinhe’s son and making her exchange her life for her child, what else can we do?”
Was there a better solution besides this one?
The head of the Gu family remained silent. The method suggested by Madam Gu was feasible, but it carried even greater risks.
They couldn’t afford to take such risks; this matter had to be handled discreetly. Otherwise, if it were discovered, all their efforts would be in vain.
“Say something!” Madam Gu, seeing the head of the Gu family not uttering a word, urgently nudged him.
The head of the Gu family looked displeased. “Now is not the time to be anxious. We must strike precisely. If we can’t do that, then we shouldn’t act. By directly stating it today, you’ve already alerted the enemy.”
Faced with her husband’s reproach, Madam Gu frowned and said, “But if we don’t speak up, how can we say anything? If we didn’t give a reason, could we have left yesterday?”
Given the situation yesterday, they had no way of leaving.
“You also know about yesterday’s incident, so now we must handle this matter even more carefully,” the head of the Gu family said solemnly.
Madam Gu wanted to say something more, but seeing the serious expression on the head of the Gu family, she could only nod in agreement.
After staying in town for a few days, the head of the Gu family found a suitable time to bring gifts and visit the Wang family.
Madam Gu looked at the nice items the head of the Gu family brought, “Why are you giving them these things? Are they worthy of it?”
“Do you think they care about these things?” If the Wang family accepted these gifts, it would be beneficial to them. Did she not understand?
“You know they don’t care about these things, so why are you bringing them?” Wasn’t he just making himself uncomfortable?
“We’re seeking favors from others. What’s the problem with bringing gifts?” The head of the Gu family looked at Madam Gu and asked.
“Seeking favors?”
Madam Gu disliked the term but didn’t refute the head of the Gu family.
She seemed to understand what the head of the Gu family intended to do.
As long as the Wang family agreed to save their daughter, what happened afterward would have nothing to do with them.
When the head of the Gu family visited the Xie family’s village, Su Yu, who had been keeping an eye on their movements, learned about it.
This couple really wouldn’t stop until they saw the coffin, making him a bit unhappy.
“Xiao He, the Gu family couple is here. It seems like they want to ask for your help.” Su Yu leaned against the door frame, looking at Wang Jinhe sewing clothes in the yard.
Wang Jinhe’s hand trembled, and the needle pricked her finger.
Seeing her finger bleeding, Wang Jinhe chuckled softly, “Quite persistent.”
Seeing Wang Jinhe’s hand bleeding, Su Yu quickly walked over, took out the ointment given by Wan Gu from his sleeve, and carefully applied it to Wang Jinhe’s finger. “Be careful.”
“Su Yu, I’m fine.” Even though she didn’t care about these two people, hearing that they were plotting against her for an adopted daughter without any blood relation made her find it laughable and, at the same time, a bit pitiful.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe with concern. “How can you be fine?”
“I’m really fine. Su Yu, this time, don’t spare them any face, okay?” Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu seriously.
Su Yu nodded. “Okay.”
A faint smile appeared on Wang Jinhe’s face. “You’re the best.”
“Let’s go tell my father and the others.” Su Yu took Wang Jinhe to her parents’ house.
After Su Yu informed his father and the others about the Gu family’s visit, Gu Jiuning sneered, “What shameless people.”
Wang Jinhe nodded in agreement. The head of the Gu family and Madam Gu were indeed shameless.
“Mom…”
Looking at Wang Jinhe’s distressed appearance, Gu Jiuning felt a pang of heartache.
“Worry not, Xiao He. With me here, no one dares to bully you.” Gu Jiuning’s eyes carried a hint of darkness.
The idea of exchanging one life for another was quite cleverly played by this couple.
For the Gu family, they were still unaware that Su Yu had already exposed them thoroughly, and they came knocking on the door with gifts.
Upon hearing the knock, Gu Jiuning looked at Qiuyi and others. “Qiuyi, go and open the door.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Qiuyi walked over, opened the door, and looked at the people outside with an expressionless face. “Who are you looking for?”
Seeing Qiuyi, the head of the Gu family hesitated for a moment but quickly reacted. “We’re here to see your Madam and Miss.”
“Wait a moment.” Qiuyi said, then slammed the door shut. The sudden closing almost hit the head of the Gu family, who was attempting to follow inside.
The head of the Gu family looked at the door, which was now only inches away from his face, with a pale face. Madam Gu also developed a sense of disgust and dislike towards Qiuyi.
This wild girl who doesn’t know her place can actually get married.
Qiuyi went inside and told Gu Jiuning everything. After hearing the news, Gu Jiuning spoke in a cold voice, “Qiuyi, let them in.”
She wanted to see how shameless these two people could be.
Qiuyi returned to the front door, opened it, and looked at the people outside. “Madam invites you in.”
Qiuyi’s attitude made Madam Gu stare at her, as if she might strike at any moment.
The head of the Gu family reached out and pulled Madam Gu’s arm. “Don’t forget the purpose of our visit.”
Madam Gu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, and followed the head of the Gu family inside.
When they reached the entrance of the main hall, the head of the Gu family saw three unfamiliar faces inside.
The profile of one person made the head of the Gu family stand still, hesitant to walk inside.
That side profile was just too familiar to him.
But this person had been missing for over a decade. How could they possibly be here?
The head of the Gu family felt like he was scaring himself. He took a deep breath and stepped inside.
Madam Gu, like the head of the Gu family, immediately focused her gaze on the woman in the room. She couldn’t see the full face but knew she was a very beautiful woman.
Looking at the graceful figure of the woman, Madam Gu felt a twinge of jealousy. It wasn’t until the woman turned to look at her that Madam Gu widened her eyes, as if startled.
