“Ah…” Gu Qiuyue screamed, looking at Gu Yundong as if she didn’t recognize her. She gasped for breath, “You, you’re crazy! I’m your aunt!”

“In this world, even biological sons are worth less than half a bag of grain. What’s a little aunt?” Gu Yundong spoke coldly, stepping closer to her.

The dagger drew even closer, and Gu Qiuyue felt like she could smell the blood on the blade. She quickly retreated several steps, clutching her daughter’s hand tightly, her heart beating rapidly.

“This… this is the city gate, everyone is watching. If you commit a crime, you can’t escape. I… I’ll tell you, as long as you apologize to Lanzhi and make amends, as long as Lanzhi forgives you, today’s matter will be forgotten.”

Gu Yundong looked around and indeed saw many people watching them, but they all seemed indifferent, just watching the drama unfold without any intention of intervening.

She thought Gu Qiuyue was too naive, “Then why don’t you give it a try? Or ask Fu Lanzhi if she dares to let me apologize.”

Fu Lanzhi met her cold gaze and immediately shook her head vigorously, like a rattle.

Gu Qiuyue was furious and wanted to step forward and slap Gu Yundong hard.

But she didn’t dare. Gu Yundong’s eyes were too frightening at the moment. Finally, she couldn’t help but shout in frustration, “I… I won’t bother with you. Since you don’t respect your elders, I won’t care about your life and death in the future. Don’t come to me when you want to enter the city. Lunatic, you’re just like your mother. Lanzhi, let’s go.”

The two of them rushed in and went out stumbling.

Until they were far away, Gu Qiuyue began to curse, “You little bitch, just wait and see. You think I can’t deal with you? With three burdens like you, I’ll see how long you can protect them. Don’t give me a chance, and I’ll make you suffer. I don’t believe you can make it safely all the way here. Who knows how many men you’ve slept with, you little whore.”

Fu Lanzhi finally stopped crying, “Mom, why didn’t they stay with Grandpa and Grandma?”

“They must have been driven out,” Gu Qiuyue sneered. She knew her parents too well.

“They deserve it.”

As the two figures gradually disappeared, Gu Yundong put away the dagger and glanced around at the people nearby. Whether it was the blood on the dagger or the hostility in her eyes, those who had been itching to approach her for a chat now had no more thoughts.

Gu Qiuyue still had some use after all.

“Little girl, it’s not easy,” an elderly man who had been watching from start to finish couldn’t help but sigh, “But now that you’ve scared off your little aunt and her daughter, you don’t even have a relative who can help you. Be careful.”

“Do you think if I apologize and beg for mercy or serve them tea and water, they’ll help us?” Gu Yundong smiled, unperturbed.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, “Well, that’s true.”

Gu Yundong scared away Gu Qiuyue and her daughter. Finally, she could calm down and start observing the large number of refugees outside the city gate.

There were too many people, and the road was completely blocked.

They were walking slowly, already standing on the outskirts. But there were still many refugees coming over from the road behind them, a steady stream.

Gu Yundong just swept a glance around and saw groups of people gathering not far away, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Something wasn’t right, this was very wrong.
