Chapter 677 - Chapter 677 Chapter 677 Taking a Concubine

Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Taking a Concubine Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Taking a Concubine Su Yunjin poured a ladle of water and accidentally touched the wound, her brow furrowed. As she was about to continue watering, the wooden ladle was snatched away by Gu Ya.

“Husband, I haven’t finished yet!” The vegetable seedlings had only been half-watered. Why had Gu Ya taken the ladle away? Gu Ya didn’t explain, but his actions spoke for themselves.

He took over the watering of the remaining seedlings.

With Gu Ya watering, Su Yunjin was left with nothing to do but stand by and watch. Gu Ya worked efficiently, quickly finishing watering the remaining seedlings. Meanwhile, Su Yunjin also took advantage of the time to eat the leftover candied hawthorn from the market and even got some malt sugar on the corner of her mouth.

In the end, it was Gu Ya who wiped the malt sugar from the corner of her mouth, but the process embarrassed Su Yunjin, because Gu Ya had used his mouth to do so.

Oh!

No!

To be precise, he had eaten it off. Even now, Su Yunjin could still feel the sensation of Gu Ya’s kiss on the corner of her mouth. She sneaked glances at Gu Ya.

She saw him looking back at her with a smile.

There was tea on the table; having just eaten the candied hawthorn, her mouth was sweet and sticky, so Su Yunjin decided to rinse with half a glass of water. Gu Ya sat across from his young wife.

He suggested, “Yunjin, from now on, whenever you need to deliver fruit wine, I’ll accompany you.” After today’s incident, Gu Ya no longer felt at ease about his wife going to deliver fruit wine alone.

For Su Yunjin, today’s incident was nothing more than an accident. She didn’t believe the same issue would occur again next time.

“Husband, there’s no need. I believe after this time, the person who smashed my fruit wine won’t dare to easily do it again.” Moreover, even if they did, Su Yunjin wasn’t afraid.

She was worried about not knowing who had smashed her fruit wine, and if that person appeared again, she definitely wouldn’t let them off easily. Gu Ya remained silent, pondering over the person who smashed his wife’s fruit wine.

Su Yunjin pondered as well.

“Husband, do you think the person who smashed my fruit wine could be elder brother and sister-in-law? Or perhaps it was Gu Changshun?” As she mentioned Gu Changshun, Su Yunjin suddenly felt that he was a likely suspect.

While his young wife suspected Gu Changshun, Gu Ya did not share the same thought, “Yunjin, I don’t think it was him.” Exactly why, Gu Ya wasn’t sure.

However, he was certain that the incident had nothing to do with Gu Changshun. Su Yunjin felt that if it wasn’t Gu Changshun, then it must have been his elder sister-in-law or their family.

Apart from the Zhang family being the prime suspects,

Su Yunjin really couldn’t think of anyone else it could be.

“Husband, if it wasn’t Gu Changshun, then who do you think it was?” Su Yunjin asked Gu Ya to speculate, but before he could answer, someone arrived at their home. It wasn’t just anyone, but Gu Ya’s elder sister Gu Hengniang.

Gu Hengniang arrived in tears, first cursing her own husband and then condemning the Wan family as worthless. Su Yunjin held no affection for her sister-in-law Gu Hengniang.

If it weren’t for Gu Ya’s sake, Su Yunjin wouldn’t have even let Gu Hengniang into the house. Gu Ya asked Gu Hengniang what exactly had happened.

Gu Hengniang cried and said, “Third brother, your brother-in-law, that faithless man, is simply despicable. All these years your sister has toiled away serving him and the whole Wan family. And just look at how he repays me, influenced by a few instigating words from his sister Wan Ruyan, now he wants to bring a concubine home!”

Ever since the incident with Wan Ruyan, Gu Hengniang had been leading a miserable life in the Wan Family. It wasn’t just her husband who disapproved of her; her in-laws also constantly nitpicked and blamed her for Wan Ruyan’s ordeal.
