Chapter 475 - 485 Her Purpose
Especially Auntie, Gu Youyou’s maternal grandmother, she was truly a woman from a farming family, a country bumpkin. If her son becomes successful, one could say that a golden phoenix has flown out of a chicken coop—remarkable abilities indeed—but the old lady’s status is elevated entirely through her son’s prestige. Even if she becomes the wife of a first-ranked imperial officer, what of it? She’s still a country bumpkin.
With such a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, it would be truly strange if they managed to get along peacefully.
Having just arrived at the Lin Family’s residence, Gu Youyou was unfamiliar with everything. Anyway, playing dumb was never wrong—she simply followed wherever her big cousin took her.
Because she herself was also a country bumpkin from a farming family, and moreover, in the Lin Family, no one dared to look down on country bumpkins—Madam Lin would be the first to get upset.
Gu Youyou followed Lin Qianqing out of the residence, and true to Beijing’s reputation, even with the weather so cold that it made people shake, the streets were still crowded with many people.
The streets were bustling, and the big cousin dragged her all over the place. They bought some trinkets suitable for girls and all sorts of... strange things, tasking two maids with carrying their purchases home.
Xiang Chun and Long Luo looked around with troubled expressions on their faces.
Lin Qianqing said unapologetically, "If you’re not going back, then just carry these things and follow us."
