Chapter 182: Chapter 181 Acting

"Old third, how long has this been going on?"

"Ah...?"

"What’s with the ’ah’? I’m asking you how long you’ve known about Erya and Shunzi’s affair," Gu Feng said angrily, slapping the door frame.

He had known about it for quite some time, but he did not dare to tell the truth. He hemmed and hawed, and finally whispered, "I... I only found out recently, the day Youyou went missing."

"It’s been so many days, why didn’t you speak up earlier?"

Before Gu Feng could say anything, Mrs. Huang couldn’t hold back and started wailing.

She had a loud voice, so when she bellowed, it startled Sanya in the house, making her cry.

Gu Feng frowned deeply and said, "What are you blabbering about? Do you think this is something to be proud of? You want to shout it so the whole village knows?"

Mrs. Huang glanced outside towards the wall, shrank her neck, and in an unconvinced and quiet voice said, "I’m just seeing where that shameless wretch of a girl has gone! You, from the second family, aren’t you going to comfort Sanya? Do you want to wake up the whole neighborhood with crying?"

Huang Xiangwen wanted to stay and enjoy the show; this was being shot while lying down. As she walked into the house to comfort Sanya, she grumbled, "It’s all because of your loud voice that you woke up the young miss."

Now that the incident had happened, Gu Feng sent all the onlookers back to their rooms to sleep before turning to look at his third son and daughter-in-law with a helpless, dark face.

The two, whom he thought would be the least trouble, had created this situation.

"Old third, tell me, what were you thinking?"

"Dad, I, I... I’m clueless, it’s all up to dad to handle," Gu third gritted his teeth and said.

"Hmph..." Gu Feng let out a cold snort and sighed, "You two were the ones acting out tonight’s drama, weren’t you? Old third, oh old third!"

Gu Feng sighed deeply, bent down to pat Gu third’s shoulder, and then said, "Among your three brothers, you are the smartest and the most scheming one. Don’t think no one knows about the things you do. You better be careful, or your cleverness may backfire on you. Take care of yourself."

Having said that, Gu Feng turned and walked towards the main house, while Gu third gazed at his back with an indecipherable expression. As soon as he could no longer see the figure, he stared into a darkness in the courtyard, his eyes ominously dark.

Meng Qiuju carefully stood up, nudged Gu third, and asked, "What do we do now? Dad didn’t say anything."

Gu third pulled a crooked smile, sinister as he said, "We don’t need to do anything, we’ll know by tomorrow."

...

The date for Gu Dabao’s marriage was set in a rush, from the proposal to the wedding day, it was a total of just eight days.

The other side had made things clear through matchmaker Zhang, the Lei Family’s daughter couldn’t wait any longer due to observing mourning for her father; she was getting on in age.

An 18-year-old girl still unmarried was a rare sight in this era, especially in the countryside, so everyone was understanding.

But with just these few days, they had to hurry to prepare everything, so Gu third had the matchmaker he employed go to the Bun Shop in the town to talk, asking to delay for a few days more.

As for Gu third’s stalling tactics, Gu Feng scoffed at them.

With everyone in the family busy, Gu Feng shouted towards the west room, "You just think my old face hasn’t been thrown away enough."

After speaking, he walked out angrily, only to return in the afternoon.

It was later that everyone learned, he had gone to the Bun Shop in the town, without any beating around the bush, he directly said that the marriage Gu third had arranged for Erya wasn’t valid, as long as he was alive; he had the final say in the Gu Family, and he had already found a suitable match for Erya right in their own village, so they should take it or leave
