Chapter 82: She Was a Human Trafficker
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“When, when have I ever disrespected my grandmother…” Gu Lingyue’s expression changed.
In the past, before Gu Qingxue got married, Gu Lingyue had often made things difficult for Gu Qingxue, tarnishing Gu Qingxue’s reputation.
Today, when she saw Gu Qingxue return, she wanted to use the same trick again, but she had not expected that Gu Qingxue would actually dare to retort back at her.
Thinking of how the Gu Qingxue of the past would always be bullied in front of Gu Lingyue, Gu Lingyue was even more used to always being above her.
Today was the first time Gu Lingyue had suffered defeat in front of Gu Qingxue.
Gu Lingyue felt indignant, and her gaze toward Gu Qingxue became even colder.
When she read the letter sent by Chen Laifu, which said that Gu Qingxue had changed, she did not quite believe it.
It seemed that there would be no smoke without fire. This Gu Qingxue was not as easy to deal with as before.
Madam Kou saw everything. “Yue’er, your Sister Xue was just joking with you. It’s great. Mother is relieved to see that the relationship between you and your sister is still so good.”
Gu Qingxue did not say anything but only glanced at Madam Kou from the corner of her eyes.
“Xue’er, the family is very happy to hear that you are coming back. It’s a pity that your third brother is on duty today and has gone to the palace. You can only see each other tomorrow. It’s been hard on you for so many years. You can rest at home for a few more days since you’ve come back this time,” Madam Kou said with a smile.
The Second Madam, Madam Shi, followed closely and said, “Speaking of which, Brother Bin is the most promising one in our family. He entered the palace and became a royal physician. Now, he is also the disciple of the chief royal physician. He has really brought honor to our Gu family.”
As soon as Madam Shi said this, everyone chimed in. They all began to praise Gu Chengbin, who was the most promising descendant of the Gu family.
“Big brother, what is a royal doctor?” Lingbao could not help but ask curiously.
“It’s a doctor in the palace. He’s more powerful than the average doctor,” Gu Lin explained.
“No matter how powerful a doctor is, isn’t he still a doctor? Our mother is the most powerful doctor!” said Dumby unwillingly.
The child’s childish words quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
Ever since the three little ones entered the door, everyone’s eyes had been fixed on them. Seeing the three of them whispering, they could not help but start discussing.
Everyone thought that the children in the countryside were all unpresentable, but Gu Qingxue’s three children were more unique than the children of ordinary families. Gu Lin, in particular, was born with a trace of coldness and nobility. He did not look like he came from the countryside at all.
“Look, I forgot about my three grandchildren.” Madam Kou waved at the three kids lovingly. “Come on, grandma will give you some snacks.”
Although Madam Kou was the second wife, she was also Gu Qingxue’s mother in name. It was natural for her to call herself the children’s grandmother.
Although Madam Kou smiled gently, the three kids subconsciously resisted her when they looked at her.
“Brother, don’t go over. She’s a human trafficker,” Lingbao said seriously, “Xiaohua told me before that there are human traffickers outside the village. They will laugh disgustingly and they will use snacks to deceive the children. Then, they’ll kidnap children and sell them in the mountains. At that time, we won’t be able to see our mother.”
Lingbao’s voice was as sweet as honey, but her words angered Madam Kou so much that her eyes almost spat fire.
Gu Xin’er, the Fourth Miss of the second branch, glared. “How dare you say that aunt’s smile is disgusting? Little girl, how dare you?!”
“My sister doesn’t like strangers. It’s not intentional,” Gu Lin said unhurriedly.
Madam Kou’s face was already livid. She glanced sharply at Gu Xin’er. “Lil’ Four, it’s said that children speak without fear. Why are you arguing with children?”
