I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 96 Gu Meiyu's Behavior

It was their shout that drew the attention of the Gu family members and the villagers who had come with them.

Gu Meiyu saw Jun Qirui and Jun Wenhui walking out of the courtyard, and then she saw Lu Yunqing and An Xi beside Gu Chenglin.

His eyes darted back and forth like he was sizing up merchandise.

And so, she walked over with an affected, swaying waist, looking shyly at Jun Qirui and Lu Yunqing.

She looked them over, then looked at Lu Yunqing and said softly to Fang Jin, "Sister-in-law, we heard that your family moved to Master Tang's house."

We just wanted to come and see if you were here to watch over Master Tang's house, or... Mother is just worried and confused."

As expected of the elder sister of a student, she speaks in such a way that she leaves things unsaid. You should look at me when you say those two sentences.

Who are you looking at?

With that look in your eyes, let me give you a silent piece of advice: be careful not to kick a hornet's nest and someone will gouge your eyes out.

Looking at Gu Meiyu's two steps just now, the way she waved the handkerchief back and forth, and that shy, coy pose... wow...

It feels like the scene where Sun Wukong teases Zhu Bajie in Gao Village.

What is this thing doing?

Wasn't she here to see her mother? She just hit her mother, so who is she trying to impress with this affected act?

Dongfang Jin took a step back, gesturing for her to stop: "Hey, hey, hey, your sister-in-law is behind you, don't call the wrong person."

Also, Miss Gu, this is not a place for entertainment; you've come to the wrong place.

The people behind me are all respectable; they won't fall for your act.

Don't let them throw up the breakfast they've worked so hard to eat.

"Pfft...Pfft..." Someone in the crowd couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing, causing air to leak out from below as well.

Then, this elicited a burst of laughter from everyone...

A young woman scoffed, "That Gu Meiyu..."

One of the men chuckled and joked, "I never would have guessed that Miss Gu had this side to her..."

"I've been following her the whole way, but I never expected her to be so pretentious, those two steps she took..."

"Indeed, I don't know where she learned those seductive arts, and she doesn't even look like one..."

"Heh, where else could he learn that? He's always in the county..."

"That's true. What's the deal with her, an unmarried young woman, always living with her younger brother?"

"Who knows."

"I heard that the place where that scholar from the Gu family lives is just across the street from that place..."

"No wonder..."

"a shame……"

Gu Meiyu's face contorted slightly upon hearing those words, but she quickly composed herself.

Looking at Dongfang Jin, with tears streaming down her face, she said, "You are my elder brother's wife, aren't you my sister-in-law?"

I refuse to believe you dare deny it!

Dongfang Jin was speechless. All talk and no action, who was he trying to impress?

“Miss Gu, ignoring Miss Gu, your family has already severed ties with Gu Chenglin, and even left the clan.”

Whose brother are you talking to? Who are you trying to disgust? Where are your brother and sister-in-law over there?

"By the way, Miss Gu, are you here to deliver compensation to my family?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Meiyu angrily shouted, "Fang Jin!"

Dongfang Jin...that's it?

That's too impatient. She won't survive two episodes in this palace intrigue. That's for sure...

"What are you yelling about? I'm not deaf, I'm not pretending anymore. A chicken is a chicken, no matter how fancy you dress, it will never become a phoenix."

Look at those two steps you just took, do you know what they look like?

Miss Gu, a true young lady from a wealthy family, doesn't walk like that.

People walk with an air of elegance... their demeanor is very dignified, and their skirts don't flutter when they walk.

Look at those two steps you just took, swaying your hips and shaking your handkerchief—those are tricks commonly used by prostitutes in brothels. Understand?

Instead of wasting time, you should spend time at home learning etiquette. Young ladies from wealthy families don't just casually take out their handkerchiefs. Don't come out here trying to imitate others; it's embarrassing.

Gu Meiyu's face turned pale, then black, then white, then red after hearing what she said. She pointed at Dongfang Jin and said, "You..."

Dongfang Jin sneered: "What's wrong with me? Am I wrong? The way you walked just now, wasn't it just showing off?"

I won't tip you; it's not worth a single penny.

In my eyes, your two steps were just awkward and inappropriate; you weren't even as alluring as a prostitute's swaying.

The people behind me don't have such vulgar tastes, nor are they so desperate for sex..."

"Xiao Jin!" Gu Chenglin's face darkened. Why did his wife say everything? He was exhausted!

Lu Yunqing shook his head speechlessly: "Xiao Jin, watch your words and actions."

Anxi...

This girl is interesting!

Jun Qirui...

How can you speak so recklessly? It's awful!

Jun Wenhui...

It seems she'll have to teach this girl some manners from now on.

However, looking at the people opposite, these are Gu Chenglin's family members?

They don't look like them at all! This family is so ugly.

This woman was indeed frivolous, just as Xiao Jin said, a poor imitation, neither fish nor fowl.

Li walked over because she saw that her mother-in-law was now too angry to speak.

Actually, she misunderstood her mother-in-law because of the moment Jun Qirui and Jun Wenhui walked out the door.

Old Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Jun Wenhui.

I wonder what she remembered...

Apart from Lu Yunqing, An Xi, and Gu Chenglin, no one present noticed her unusual behavior.

Li pointed to the house next door: "It's her uncle's house, aren't you going to explain this?"

Her uncle's family?

Dongfang Jin sized up Li Shi, crossed her arms, and sneered, "What's there to explain? What do we have to explain to you?"

Who do you think you are? Why would I explain myself to you? Don't you even know your place? Know your place, huh?

Ye Shilan shuffled over like a bucket, her breath reeking of rotten eggs: "You..."

Dongfang Jin quickly took two steps back, and before she could finish speaking, she fanned the air around her nose with her hand: "Hey Peiqi, how many eggs did you steal from your house? Your breath smells like eggs."

Hearing her say that, Ye Shilan turned to look at her mother-in-law guiltily, her eyes darting away: "You're talking nonsense, I didn't eat any eggs."

Dongfang Jin laughed inwardly, "That's it..."

But it's not bad to make fun of her. She stretched out her right hand and said, "Judging from the smell you're wearing, I bet you ate at least five eggs."

Lu Yunqing...

Can you guess this?

Anxi...

Is that really true?

Gu Chenglin... let your wife do whatever she wants! He can't control her.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shilan shouted without thinking, "You're talking nonsense, I only ate two..."

She immediately covered her mouth as she said this.

Lu Yunqing... you idiot!

Anxi... understands!

Everyone...

Did they pull a fast one?

Dongfang Jin looked at her pair of chapped, fat hands and felt utterly disgusted. Not only were the nails long, but they were also irregularly shaped and filled with black mud.

It's really disgusting to open the door to the disgust, and the disgust is home.

"Didn't you not eat?"

"You lied to me?"

"Your breath smells like eggs, you could smell it from eight blocks away. You think I'm trying to scam you?"

"you……"

Onlookers...

One man joked, "Hehe, this little Ye is too funny."

"Of course, didn't you see? She's gained weight again."

“Sun Zheng’s wife, you’re right, it’s true. We all lose weight during the autumn harvest, but how come she’s gained weight?”

"She's just sneaking a bite. Besides, how many times have you seen her in the fields during the entire autumn harvest?"

"Could she have gone back to her parents' home again?"

"Of course, it's the same every year..."

"This year, the clan chief asked my family to help out, but I didn't let my family go."

"Gu Ting's family, aren't you afraid of being punished by your clan leader?"
