Chapter 270: Chapter 270 The Child Wishes to Provide Support, but the Parents Are No Longer Present

The Gu Family had a tragedy, the old lady of the Gu Family was bringing her daughter-in-law to see the doctor when they were hit by a startled old horse. Several people, along with the carriage, all tumbled into a ravine.

The old horse, the middle-aged man driving the carriage, and the old lady of the Gu Family all died. The sole surviving daughter-in-law of the Gu Family was so shocked and traumatized that she became somewhat delirious, continuously muttering, "It’s my fault that Grandma died, Grandma died so horribly trying to protect me," and insisting on being buried with the old lady.

This was ridiculous, only members of the Imperial Family had to be buried with the deceased, and besides, she was pregnant with a child.

The Gu Family thought she had been scared out of her wits, and that she had only survived because the old lady had protected her. The shock was too much, causing her temporary irrational thoughts.

The Gu Family made arrangements for the funeral, and the delirious Lei Qianqian was sent back to the Lei Family. They feared she might cause trouble at the funeral because she was so traumatized. Everyone was too busy to look after her. Secondly, she was carrying the eldest great-grandson of the Gu Family in her womb. It was not appropriate for an unborn child to be present at the funeral, as it could attract evil spirits.

The sudden tragic death of the matriarch of the Huang Family had plunged the entire Gu Family into mourning.

Gu Youyou learned the news and rushed over the next day.

Just a few days ago, the grandmother who had been causing trouble at Jisheng Hall suddenly died, leaving Gu Youyou feeling incredibly surreal.

Dead, just like that? She shook her head.

When you have a terrible relative living in your home, you resent them so much that you curse the heavens for being blind, wishing a thunderbolt would take them away. But when they are actually taken by the heavens, your heart dwells on different thoughts.

Gu Youyou found it strange that she felt inexplicably sad.

The domineering and troublesome old lady had died just like that, without any warning.

In fact, aside from being stingy, liking to take advantage of minor benefits, and inexplicably detesting her, her granddaughter, she hadn’t done anything that violated the natural order. She didn’t deserve to die. Had the heavens taken the wrong person?

If only she had known that her grandmother would leave so soon, could she have tolerated her irrational behavior and treated her a bit better?

It’s just a shame that you can wish for peace, but the winds do not stop, and that children intend to take care of their parents, but they don’t have the chance to wait.

There was no longer an opportunity to see that unreasonable old lady again.

Jin Zijin patted her shoulder and said, "Don’t be sad, I heard it was an accident, a startled horse ran into her and they both fell into the ravine where falling rocks killed her."

"Sad? What do I have to be sad about?" That inexplicably troublesome old lady, she hated me.

"Denial is not just a river in Egypt!" Jin Zijin simply stated.

His words made Gu Youyou feel even more upset.

Isn’t it just the death of a relative? In two lifetimes, all four of her parents had died. What was the big deal about a grandmother, who hated her, dying?

Gu Feng, supported by his uncle, seemed unsteady on his feet. The room was filled with relatives in mourning clothes, kneeling in front of the table where the chants were being performed, periodically kowtowing. This was a local custom.

Upon seeing Gu Youyou arrive, she instantly sensed the unfriendly looks from everyone. She found it somewhat inexplicable.

After all, she was a daughter married out from the Gu Family. They had informed her of Grandma’s death, and she had come. She was merely following local customs to see her grandmother off on her final journey. Was there really a need to look at her as if she were an enemy?

She wasn’t there to freeload.

As it was a ceremonial service, nobody could talk casually, so people just gave her unfriendly stares without saying anything.
