The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 403 - Chapter 403 403

Chapter 403: 403 Chapter 403: 403 Mrs. Zhang turned her gaze to Gu Hengniang’s younger sister-in-law, Wan Ruyan.

It had been more than a year since they last saw each other.

This Wan Ruyan had grown even more strikingly beautiful.

Wan Ruyan was quite the beauty.

And men found it even easier to be taken with her.

Looking at Wan Ruyan, Mrs. Zhang was quite pleased.

“Sister-in-law, today is father’s birthday. We originally planned to leave early, but our little sister Yanyan said she wanted to dress up. As a young lady, it takes time to get ready. After waiting for Yanyan, we were delayed. Otherwise, we would have arrived earlier this morning.”

Gu Hengniang was not one for scheming.

She outright shared that her younger sister-in-law had been busy dressing up that morning.

Mrs. Zhang’s eyes fell on Wan Ruyan once again, noting her attire for today. Wasn’t it meticulously chosen and adorned?

Wan Ruyan’s elaborate dressing was likely for Gu Ya, the youngest brother. It seemed that Wan Ruyan still harbored old affections for Gu Ya.

If that wasn’t the case, Wan Ruyan wouldn’t have come today, much less dressed up so carefully. Seeing Mrs. Zhang sizing her up, Wan Ruyan’s cheeks reddened, and she suddenly felt shy.

“Sister-in-law, Yanyan merely changed clothes this morning. How can that be considered dressing up?” Though she spoke these words, Wan Ruyan inwardly blamed her sister-in-law Gu Hengniang for being meddlesome.

By saying this, wasn’t she inviting the Gu Family to speculate?

Mrs. Zhang chuckled, “Oh, little sister Yanyan? What’s this? Feeling shy? There’s nothing amiss with that. You’re a young lady; it’s natural to love dressing up. I too favored bright and fancy things when I was young and liked to adorn myself!”

Mrs. Zhang intentionally shifted the conversation.

Then, as if it were an afterthought, she brought up the third brother Gu Ya, “By the way, second sister, you and your husband may not know yet? Our third brother’s leg is now completely fine! Not only can he stand up, but his previous limp is gone as well. Our third brother can walk just like a normal person now.”

Mrs. Zhang mainly intended these words for Wan Ruyan to hear.

As expected, upon hearing this, Wan Ruyan’s expression on her little face instantly stiffened.

“What? Third brother’s leg is all right?” Gu Hengniang was incredulous. Gu Hengniang’s husband, Wan Da’an, also snorted, laughing and waving in disbelief, “Big sister-in-law, are you joking? Didn’t the doctor say that brother’s leg was beyond healing, how could it be fine now?”

Mrs. Zhang knew Su Yunjin had gone to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law with cooking and that Gu Ya was alone in his room, which would give an opportunity for Gu Ya and Wan Ruyan to meet alone.

Thus, Mrs. Zhang deliberately said, “Second sister, brother-in-law, I’m speaking the truth. If you don’t believe it, you can see for yourself in third brother’s room right now.”

Wan Ruyan stood aside, not saying a word.

Yet, because of Mrs. Zhang’s words, her thoughts turned numerous times.

Could it be true that Gu Ya’s legs were healed?

No!

Impossible!

She had decided not to marry Gu Ya because of his leg. If Gu Ya’s legs were indeed fine, wouldn’t that be a boon for some other woman?

Wan Ruyan twisted her dress corners, her fingers so forceful they nearly tore the fabric.

While Mrs. Zhang talked with Gu Hengniang, her eyes remained on Wan Ruyan. Watching Wan Ruyan’s reaction, Mrs. Zhang felt a secret delight.

Wan Ruyan indeed had not disappointed her.

With Wan Ruyan like this, Mrs. Zhang guessed she would not need to egg her on to disrupt the relationship between Gu Ya and his wife Su Yunjin.

Interesting!

Interesting!

This meant even more of a show to watch!
