Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Half a Century and Still Couldn’t Handle a Man? Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Half a Century and Still Couldn’t Handle a Man? And what was infuriating was being implicated by association.

Moreover, the rumors had started to spread from the streets and alleyways.

Finding the initial source of the gossip wasn’t a matter of a day or two.

The urgency now was to stop the spread of this matter.

Watching her eldest granddaughter frantic with frustration, Ning Wanru felt a strange sensation.

It seemed that Gu Yajing had also been rather unlucky lately.

And it had all started since Gu Qiaoqiao went to the magazine office.

She had thought that after acknowledging Gu Qiaoqiao’s family as her own, she could act with the authority of an elder.

But who would have expected Lady Yu, dead for fifty years, to return?

The rightful owner had returned.

Where would her place be then?

She hadn’t expected this.

And it caught her off guard.

After all, in her plan, Gu Tianfeng, the country bumpkin scholar, along with his wife and children, would come to the Imperial Capital, and the Old Patriarch would surely host a banquet.

Although she was the Second Lady only in name, the older people in the Imperial Capital all knew it very well.

But, she was indeed the only female elder of the Gu Family.

Even if Gu Qingfeng suspected her, there were still things that needed her involvement.

That old fool could do nothing but bear it in silence.

However, all her plans had turned into nothing.

Because, Gu Qingfeng’s original wife, and Gu Kun’s biological mother, had returned.

At this moment, Ning Wanru, staring at the large and small bags inside the villa, was boiling with rage. She gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Yajing, “Useless thing, what are you crying for? It’s been years; how could this come out again? Didn’t that woman go to the countryside to teach?”

“Grandma, she’s returned. I’ve seen her twice. She’s working as a cleaner at Lijing Ho.”

“So what?” Ning Wanru furiously pointed at Gu Yajing, “You and Zheng Xiao are husband and wife. If she dares to intervene, she’s wrecking a marriage. What are you afraid of? Tell me, did you cause her trouble?”

“That wretched woman deserves to be beaten and scolded. After all these years, Zheng Xiao still secretly cares for her, thinks about her, he still loves her. How can I not hate her?”

“On what grounds?” Ning Wanru bit her teeth and demanded, “I asked you back then, did you want love or marriage? What did you say?”

“I…” Gu Yajing was at a loss for words.

“You disgraceful thing, you chose marriage back then, said you didn’t want love. Yet after five years, you couldn’t handle a man. Who can you blame?”

“Aren’t you the same?” she muttered softly.

Don’t think she doesn’t understand. She clearly saw that her grandmother had liked the Old Patriarch in the early years.

And here she was accusing her?

Was she any better?

Half a century’s time and she still couldn’t handle a man?

“What did you say?” Ning Wanru asked sharply.

Gu Yajing’s voice was too soft, and she hadn’t heard it clearly.

Gu Yajing quickly raised her voice, “I said, I just can’t swallow this insult.”

“What then? Did that woman disappear? No, not only did she not disappear, she even dug up the past,” Ning Wanru scolded as if she was frustrated at the lack of progress in her efforts.

“Grandma, what do we do now?” Gu Yajing looked to Ning Wanru for help.

Now only grandma could help her.

“What can we do? Just wait until it dies down by itself, otherwise, who’s mouth can you shut among so many people?” Ning Wanru said irritably.

“Grandma, doesn’t that just benefit that wretch?”

“What’s there for her to benefit from?” Ning Wanru said impatiently; her own situation still a mess, everyone being of no help, only adding to the chaos, “Hurry up and go, call Jiansheng over. I need to speak with him.”
