"Uncle Nine." Mr. Zhou bowed his head and stopped ten feet away from Gu Yilan.
Gu Yilan put down the book in her hand, stood up and bowed to her: "Sister-in-law, please sit down."
Mrs. Zhou sat down on the chair by the wall in a restrained manner, and spoke quietly: "How is your discussion going?"
Gu Yilan glanced at her and said: "It's nothing. According to your majesty, Marquis Shenning is still the eldest brother. I will return to Taichang Temple to take up my post and take charge of the affairs of the Marquis's mansion.
The affairs of the clan must be handled through consultation with Ah Lin. Everyone agreed, and Ah Lin didn’t say anything.”
"That's good..." Mrs. Zhou whispered: "This afternoon, Ah Lin's wife demolished A Yuan's yard and cleaned up the second sister-in-law. I heard that it was very miserable. I am very worried."
Gu Yilan turned around and lit the lamp, stared at her and said, "Third brother, did you hit you again?"
Zhou quickly shook her head: "No, he just got beaten and was in a bad mood..."
As she spoke, big tears rolled down from her eyes, and they hit the ground with a bang, breaking into eight pieces.
Gu Yilan said: "Don't worry, you won't be involved in this matter. If Mu Yunhan comes to find you, just blame it all on me. Just say that I coerced you into what happened last time.
She won't be unreasonable."
Mrs. Zhou started to cry: "But last time in the temple, I was the one who pushed her!"
Gu Yilan smiled slightly: "Although it was you who pushed her, it did not cause bad consequences. Instead, it was A Yuan who was harmed and A Lin who benefited."
Mrs. Zhou just shook her head: "No, my sister-in-law saw it! She used this to coerce me, saying that I don't know anything about you."
Gu Yilan was a little surprised, then she stood up and walked to the window, stood with her hands behind her hands, looked at the lights outside the window, and said: "What is true cannot be fake, and what is fake cannot be true. You don't have to be afraid."
Zhou choked with sobs and said, "Both my uncle and I know it, but you just took pity on me, a loser, and helped me twice.
But your third brother won’t think like this, and neither will those dirty people. I’m most afraid that Abo will misunderstand me.
My whole life is pure and clean, but I am not willing to let it be destroyed just because of people's terrible words.
I don’t want my brother-in-law to have his reputation ruined because of something like this, it’s not fair to you.”
Gu Yilan was silent for a long time and said softly: "There are many unfair things in this world, and there is more than just this one. Sister-in-law, you have to be more open-minded."
Mrs. Zhou sighed: "Who says it's not the case? For example, the eldest lady back then, my brother-in-law and A-lin, who are not pitiable people."
Gu Yilan didn't make a sound, she just put her hand gently on the window sill, tapping her fingers on the window sill, thoughtfully.
"Brother-in-law, although you have recovered from your illness now, I know you still need more pills. No one's pills are as good as A-Lin's wife. She won't give you pills. Is it useful to just rely on those?"
Mrs. Zhou was very worried: "I'm always worried that you won't be able to hold on, so I have to think of a useful way."
Gu Yilan turned her back to her and said softly: "I am also worried about the problem you mentioned, but I am suffering from the lack of a better way. Is there any way, third sister-in-law?"
Zhou hesitated for a long time and said in a low voice: "My sister-in-law told me just now that A-Lin's wife only relies on A-Lin, and A-Lin relies on her good pills.
If she can no longer provide medicine to Ah Lin, everything will come crashing down, and by then, it won’t be up to us to do whatever we want.”
