The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Looking at Jin Zijin’s expression, Gu Youyou could only give a wry smile. After a while, she said, "You’ve found out too, haven’t you?"

"About what?"

Gu Youyou sighed, "Haven’t you already thoroughly investigated our family’s affairs? And you found me in time. If not for knowing about the deal between Gu Wu and Xuanzong’s people, how could you have appeared so promptly?"

Jin Zijin and Yue Rujing had both witnessed Gu Youyou jumping down, and it was Yue Rujing who had said so. No wonder Jin Zijin was adamant that she had attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff, that moment of illusion really did look as if she had jumped intentionally.

"You know about it too?" asked Jin Zijin, surprised.

Over these past few months, Gu Youyou had not shown any signs of it, she indeed had great forbearance.

Gu Youyou, however, said, "I was hiding among the trees and overheard their conversation. Gu Wu didn’t just sell me to Xuanzong’s people, he also killed my parents over a decade ago. I haven’t spoken up because I didn’t want to think about it. I don’t want to think about it because I am helpless right now.

Zijin, in this world, Grandpa is very important to me, he can’t endure such a shock. If he knew about this, he wouldn’t be able to handle it. He has already lost his eldest son, and if he were to lose his younger son as well, he couldn’t bear it. For Grandpa’s sake, to let him live a few more years, I am willing to let it go for now."

After listening, Jin Zijin gently patted her back and sighed, "Your way of thinking is correct."

"And there’s more..." Gu Youyou looked at the oil lamp, where the flames gently flickered in her clear pupils, "Grandma’s death was suspicious, and that Lei Qianqian might just be the murderer."

Jin Zijin was momentarily stunned. When he first saw the injuries on Grandma’s face, he too felt something was amiss, but then the people from Xuanzong came looking and he had to deal with them with all his might, so he didn’t dwell on that matter.
