Chapter 41: It’s Not Time Yet
As Gu Yu swayed back and forth, almost falling off the stool, Mengyao Gu, who was beside him, reached out and supported him, saving him from falling to the ground.
Immediately after, Gu Yu closed his eyes tightly and completely fainted.
“Sister, what’s wrong with brother-in-law? Wasn’t he fine just now?”
“Let me see… he’s fine, just fainted.”
“Really, brother-in-law doesn’t need to worry about getting involved with the Old Yang family anymore. Anyway, we have the Yang family’s deed of severance in our hands. Even if brother-in-law beats that old woman, going to the Yamen will only mean paying for some medicine.”
“Yu doesn’t know about the deed of severance, so it’s normal for him to be nervous. I actually think it’s good that he’s like this; he’s already starting to care about our family.”
Gu Yu’s sudden fainting did not cause Mengyao Gu and her brother to panic. They had encountered many such situations before, so both of them were very calm now.
When Mengyao Gu easily carried Gu Yu and placed him on the bed, she placed her index finger in front of Gu Yu’s nose. After feeling that he was still breathing, Mengyao Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Gu Yu often fainted before, Mengyao Gu had never been as worried as she was today.
Perhaps it was because she had never felt that Gu Yu was a good husband like she did today… So, even though Gu Yu had coughed up blood before, she was only worried if she would become a widow.
At thirteen years old, she was no longer young and knew which matters were more important.
Just like when Third Master Yang sent Gu Yu over to be a live-in son-in-law, Mengyao Gu agreed immediately after giving it a moment’s thought.
After her parents passed away, Gu Qingheng was too young to support the family.
When the family lacked a pillar, even though Gu Yu was only twelve years old and weak, he could keep others in check and prevent them from having ill intentions towards the siblings.
Moreover, Mengyao Gu was already a married woman, not a young girl anymore.
This way, it could reduce a lot of trouble.
However, after Gu Yu entered the Gu family, Mengyao Gu discovered that he was an extremely filial person.
He was like a rock in a latrine, stinking and hard, truly beyond redemption.
For the relatives who had long abandoned him, he still felt guilty and even used the wild game he hunted to subsidize the Yang family to repay their nurturing kindness.
In fact, the Yang family had long sold Gu Yu.
Mengyao Gu ‘bought’ Gu Yu with the only tiger skin left in the house. And Third Master Yang’s concern about the Yang family’s insatiable greed had been mentioned to Mengyao Gu before… Therefore, Mengyao Gu not only had the agreement for Gu Yu to voluntarily become a live-in son-in-law but also the Yang family’s deed of severance.
Perhaps it was the allure of the tiger skin that made the Yang family readily sign the deed of severance with their fingerprints. Therefore, even though Madam Li was yelling outside the door, wanting to report Gu Yu to the officials, Mengyao Gu did not panic and open the door.
However, after Third Master Yang died in a freak accident, Gu Yu became somewhat deranged, his body weakened day by day, and he was like a wilting flower, listless and without any vitality.
This was also the main reason why Mengyao Gu did not stop Gu Yu from delivering the hunted prey to the Old Yang family’s residence.
Gu Yu now needed a spiritual pillar, and the Old Yang family’s residence was a way to relieve his stress. If the Old Yang family could soothe Gu Yu’s emotions, that would have been acceptable.
Unfortunately, Gu Yu ended up killing himself.
However, the modern Gu Yu seized the opportunity to transmigrate and successfully took over this sickly body.
The subsequent changes were even more apparent, even making Mengyao Gu and her brother feel like they were dreaming. Otherwise, how could Gu Yu, who always put filial piety first, become like this!
Especially when Gu Yu was talking to Madam Li outside the house, Mengyao Gu’s heart was pounding uncontrollably. No matter how she tried to stop it, she thought she was going to die.
After calming down, Mengyao Gu realized that her heart had just sped up due to being too excited.
Mengyao Gu had not experienced the feeling of being protected for a long time.
“Sister, since brother-in-law has gotten better now, should we tell him your secret about having great strength?”
“No, it’s not time yet. Let’s observe him for a while longer.”
Afterward, Gu Qingheng looked at Gu Yu, who was unconscious on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to Mengyao Gu.
Although Gu Qingheng had looked down on Gu Yu before, his performance as a brother-in-law today was really amazing!
As a member of the family, Gu Qingheng felt that he should let Gu Yu know.
After all, Gu Yu was his brother-in-law and would live with Mengyao Gu for a lifetime… His sister couldn’t hide this matter for long, and Gu Yu would find out sooner or later.
However, when Mengyao Gu heard Gu Qingheng’s words, she shook her head at him, indicating that it was not time yet.
Then, looking at Gu Yu’s tightly closed eyes, Mengyao Gu’s eyes flashed with an unreadable brilliance.
…
