Chapter 450: Chapter 460: She Really is Back to Fight for the Inheritance

Two people were missing, the two youngest aunts from the Gu Family who had always been well-behaved.

Gu Youyou was suddenly startled and her eyes snapped open.

"Where are the two youngest aunts?"

By this time, they should have been around fourteen or fifteen years old.

Huang Xiangwen’s expression changed subtly before she spoke indifferently, "They got married."

Married?

Gu Youyou then looked toward Gu Er, the second eldest.

Seemingly understanding that having two sisters marry before the age of fifteen was somewhat inappropriate, Gu Er’s face turned slightly unnatural, but he spoke as if it was to be expected, "They were married off just ten days ago. I had intended to let them wait a few more months, to get married after they turned fifteen, but the fortune-teller calculated that ten days ago was an auspicious date. Waiting any longer would mean another two years. Since they are twins married off together, and the other family also has twins taking brides, their wedding needed more considerations than usual."

"Didn’t Grandpa and Grandma pass away less than two years ago? Shouldn’t they observe three years of mourning for them?"

Women of marriageable age had to observe mourning, especially since the two aunts were still young. Waiting another two years for them to marry would have been just right.

Gu Youyou’s questioning caused Gu Er to deflate a bit. He remembered the way Gu Feng looked before he died, his last words.

Everything can be fake, but the bond between father and son is real. Although Gu Er was calculating, he truly was a filial son and never intended to anger Gu Feng to death.

To think he had sold Gu Youyou, initiating the subsequent events, filled him with regret. But at that time, had he not sold Gu Youyou, Gu San, the third brother, would have had to sell someone. The prospect of letting Gu San benefit from such an incident without any effort was unacceptable to him. As things had reached this point, he thought it was best to let bygones be bygones.

Huang Xiangwen said, "I also didn’t want to marry them off so early, but those were your grandfather’s last words. With him leaving behind such a statement, your second uncle wouldn’t listen to any advice and insisted on marrying them off."

"Grandpa said that?" Gu Youyou felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

"Yes, many people were there that day, everyone saw and heard it. If you don’t believe us, we can ask the villagers. The family they married into was already approved by your grandfather before his demise. The other side has twin brothers, one year older than your two youngest aunts. Everyone says twins shouldn’t live too far apart, so it’s perfect for both to marry into the same family."

Gu Youyou lowered her head and chuckled bitterly, finally understanding why her grandfather would leave such a will when she remembered Lei Qianqian ordering Huang Xiangwen around.

It was better for them to marry off early. Without parents and faced with such a brother and sister-in-law.

They would just be suffering if they stayed, turned into mere servants for others.

Suddenly, Gu Youyou stood up and walked into the courtyard.

Gu Er and Huang Xiangwen exchanged glances, puzzled, and followed her out.

Gu Dabao and his siblings stood at the doorway, remaining at a distance, not daring to come closer.

Gu Youyou looked around the courtyard and then suddenly praised with a smile, "Not a bad courtyard, my parents were really capable."

Gu Er and his wife had complex expressions as they watched Gu Youyou, their hearts pounding with trepidation.

What was she going to do? Why was she suddenly praising the courtyard?

And she mentioned the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

After looking around and praising, Gu Youyou suddenly turned to Gu Er and said, "I heard my parents also bought quite a bit of farmland and left a decent amount of silver. Everything must be with you since Grandpa and Grandma died, right? When do you plan to return it to me?"

What...?

Everyone in the courtyard changed color at her words, especially Gu Er and Huang Xiangwen, whose faces twisted grotesquely.

Gu Youyou had come back to fight for the family property.

After the shock passed, their faces darkened, and they looked at Gu Youyou with a vicious expression.
