167 The Truth
“After that, Madam treated Gu Yunrong even better. She treated her like her darling and kept saying that she would bring good luck to the Gu family.”
“Madam even scolded the Eldest Young Master for Gu Yunrong!”
In the past, Granny Pang only felt sorry for the Eldest Young Master and did not blame Gu Yunrong. She only blamed Madam Gu for being too ruthless.
But it was different now. Gu Yunrong was no longer Madam’s daughter and was now just the child of a servant.
!!
The more Granny Pang thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she spoke, the more her heart ached. “The Eldest Young Master was only six years old, but he was punished by the family law. He was beaten until his back was lacerated. Later, he was ordered by Madam to kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days. His body couldn’t take it, and he had to lay in bed for half a month.”
“Eldest Young Master is the only son of the late Marquis and Madam, but in Madam’s heart, I’m afraid even Eldest Young Master can’t compare to Gu Yunrong!”
At the thought that Madam Gu had actually mistreated the Eldest Young Master for a mere child of a servant, Granny Pang was furious.
At this moment, she had almost forgotten that she had just escaped death. All she cared about was her little master. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “… I wonder if the late Marquis is Madam’s biological son.”
After she said this, even she was stunned and had goosebumps on her arm.
The house was silent for a moment, making the howling wind outside sound even more violent.
The wind and snow blew wildly. The courtyard outside was completely covered in silver, endless snow.
There was a rough and harsh creak as branches snapped under the weight of snow in the courtyard.
A silent sigh escaped Gu Yanfei’s lips. There was a faint smile on her lips as she thought to herself self-deprecatingly, ‘So I’m not the only one who thought so!’
Since her previous life, she had never understood.
Even if Madam Gu liked Gu Yunrong, whom she had personally raised, and did not like her, what about her eldest brother, Gu Yuan?!
Gu Yuan had grown up under Madam Gu’s care. He was her biological grandson and was related by blood. Why was she so heartless to Gu Yuan?!
Why would Madam abandon Gu Yuan for Gu Yunrong?!
In this life, just to help Gu Yunrong marry into Prince Kang’s Manor, she had to “force” her eldest brother to give up the position of battalion commander of the Divine Arms Battalion to Murong Yong. She did not hesitate to ruin her eldest brother’s future.
“Granny, you don’t think my father was born ny Madam Gu?” Gu Yanfei looked at Granny Pang steadily with a deep gaze.
Granny Pang had only blurted it out in a moment of righteous anger. At this moment, her expression became embarrassed, and she blushed. “Miss, I shouldn’t have sprouted nonsense.”
“Madam has always been quite good to the late Marquis and Madam.”
“Back then, when the late Marquis wanted to marry Madam, it was still Madam who persuaded the old Marquis to agree.”
Hearing Granny Pang’s words, Gu Yanfei also remembered that, in her previous life, she seemed to have heard her brother mention it.
She said that her parents had not married blind and mute. They had fallen in love with each other.
It was said that his father had entered the military camp incognito since he was 13 years old. At the age of 16, he was the Deputy Commander of the Yuzhou Guards. It was also that year that he met her mother.
It was said that at that time, the Xie family’s boat had encountered water bandits on the river. Most of the servants and guards had died. Her mother, who was only 15 years old, had jumped into the water and escaped. Her father had fished her out of the water.
The Xie family was a merchant family. The Xie and Gu families were not comparable in the first place. Later, it was her father who used his battle achievements to persuade the previous Emperor to allow him to marry her mother in a grand manner, making all the women in the world envious.
Thinking of her eldest brother’s longing expression when he mentioned her parents, Gu Yanfei’s lips curled up.
Granny Pang was still talking. “… After the late Madam married into the family, Madam Gu treated her quite well. She never let her set rules.”
“15 years ago, the late Marquis went to Yangzhou to be the head of the military on behalf of the old Marquis who had an attack. Madam Gu also asked Madam to go with him. She said that the young couple had a good relationship and couldn’t be separated for several years.”
“The late Marquis and Madam were very close. They’ve always had a good relationship and have never been red-eyed.”
“If not for the accident eight years ago, the late Marquis and Madam would have been an immortal couple…”
Granny Pang’s eyes began to redden again and were already swollen from crying.
Gu Yanfei gestured for Juan Bi to hand Granny Pang a clean handkerchief.
Granny Pang wiped her tears again and took a while to calm herself down. As if she was convincing herself, she said incoherently, “Miss, it’s clearly written in the Gu family’s genealogy that the late Marquis was the eldest son of the Old Marquis and Madam. Madam was the Old Marquis’s first wife.”
“Even when the Eldest Young Master got smallpox back then, Madam took care of him personally.”
“How can it not be!”
Yes, smallpox could be passed on to others. If she wasn’t his biological grandmother, Madam wouldn’t have taken such a risk to take care of the Eldest Young Master!
“I must have been possessed for me to say that…”
Smallpox?!
When she heard this word, Gu Yanfei’s pupils constricted. She suddenly interrupted Granny Pang, “Big Brother had smallpox? When did this happen?”
Granny Pang’s complicated gaze landed on Gu Yanfei’s small face, which was 40 to 50% similar to Madam Xie’s. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “14 years ago.”
“14 years ago, the Old Marquis suddenly fell ill. Coincidentally, the State of Yue army gathered at the other end of the river. The war was urgent, so the late Emperor issued a decree to seize his love and told the late Marquis to stay in Yangzhou and not return to the capital.”
“At that time, the Eldest Young Master had smallpox and was about to die. He wanted to see his parents, so Madam sent a pigeon to Yangzhou.”
“I waited and waited in the capital, but Madam did not come. Three months later, Mother Su carried the swaddled Gu Yunrong to the capital. She even brought bad news that Madam had a difficult labor.”
As she spoke, Granny Pang’s voice became even more hoarse.
Madam was only 20 years old when she left. She was so young and in her prime. Who would have thought…
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little heavy and oppressive.
This was impossible!
These words clearly appeared in Gu Yanfei’s heart, and her eyes gradually turned cold.
