Chapter 652: Chapter 663: Take Abao away

These two girls, one being my own daughter, plus her cunning, how could I not know what schemes they were devising.

This niece of mine, to speak of her, is better than I had imagined, not at all the unsophisticated bumpkin I had anticipated.

But she really lacks a sense of propriety, just as worrisome as the old lady.

I can only tolerate the old lady’s lack of manners, but I see no need to tolerate this younger generation.

Just as Gu Youyou was planning to slip away, Madam Lin called out to her.

"Youyou, come with me."

With that, she flung her sleeve and headed to the side hall.

I knew it, I was going to be lectured today, Gu Youyou stuck out her tongue and followed.

"Aunt!" Madam Lin was seated, and Gu Youyou stood.

Madam Lin stared at her, sighing, about to say something but swallowing her words instead. After several attempts, she finally voiced her concerns.

"You say you want to keep a dog, of all the breeds you could choose, why insist on such a large one? And one that looks like a wolf at that. Keeping such a big dog at home, what if it accidentally hurts someone?"

Gu Youyou, with her head lowered, said, "Abao is very obedient, as long as Aunt instructs the servants not to provoke it, it won’t bite anyone."

"Can that beast understand rules?" Madam Lin immediately retorted, "Will it stay put in its own place? Just today it was strutting around the yard. I heard it even ate two chickens and a big white goose belonging to your maternal grandmother. I suspect your grandmother fell ill because of this dog’s antics."

Gu Youyou: "..." Unfair!

"Aunt, how did Abao get out?" she clearly remembered telling Xiang Chun to latch the yard gate securely when she left.

"Hmph, how indeed?" fumed Madam Lin, slapping the table with a degree of unsteadiness, and said, "What kind of dog is this? It’s clearly a wolf; it eats living creatures. The servants reported that it chased a Phoenix Chicken and then got loose. The yard wall is over a person’s height, the Phoenix Chicken flying over is one thing, but how did it get out? Could an ordinary dog jump over a wall that high? What on earth did you raise?"

After hearing this, Gu Youyou blinked.

Nothing wrong!

She had instructed someone to fetch chickens and ducks from her grandmother’s place to feed it, live ones.

Of course Abao would chase the Phoenix Chicken if it flew over the wall.

However, such a deep courtyard life could not condone such upheaval, especially not with an aunt of noble upbringing like hers, absolutely intolerable.

"You need to get rid of that dog. It made a bloody mess in the courtyard, if it frightens the old lady into some serious illness, no one can bear that responsibility."

Recalling the sight of the big dog pouncing on live prey, Madam Lin was still very unsettled.

Despite having a courtyard full of house servants to protect the place, they couldn’t subdue it; it returned to Gu Youyou’s courtyard only after satisfying its hunger.

Just one such incident terrified her soul-deep. If this happened daily, how could anyone continue to live normally?

Gu Youyou could clearly see her aunt’s somewhat pale complexion and the slight trembling of her fingers.

There was no chance of keeping Abao here; the determination on her face said it all.

Gu Youyou sighed, "Although Abao is my dog, it was Yue Rujing who took it to Lingnan Barracks to be trained and grow up. They’ve always fed it live prey, so it seems a bit wild. But it won’t attack people without reason!"

"Even so, we can’t keep it here," Madam Lin said firmly. No matter who raised the dog, even the Heavenly King himself wouldn’t change her mind.

When Gu Youyou mentioned it yesterday, she had thought it was an ordinary puppy, never imagining it would be such a large one.
