I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 95: Another group coming?

"Mother, we will not let that jinx off this time. Let's see what she has to say about this dowry money." It was Gu Meiyu's voice.

Goodness, is everyone here?

Are they coming in a group again?

The matter from last time isn't over yet; they really don't learn their lesson.

It's like they're getting stronger with each setback!

Is this a direct confrontation with her family?

As the large group of people approached from afar, Lu Yunqing and An Xi looked at Gu Chenglin and Dongfang Jin with surprise.

Lu Yunqing pointed at those people: "This is...?"

Dongfang Jin shrugged and pointed at Gu Chenglin: "Look, the family that broke off ties with him."

Lu Yunqing still looked puzzled. Why would someone who has broken off ties with their family still be looking for someone else?

"Is there a letter severing ties?"

Dongfang Jin scoffed, "Not only are there documents severing ties with relatives, but also documents expelling members from the clan."

Anxi knew about this matter. As a close attendant of His Majesty, he was aware of some things.

"Then why is this?"

Upon hearing Anxi's words, Dongfang Jin trembled. This...this person is...?

Suppressing her uncertainty, she glanced at Lu Yunqing, the county magistrate, and saw that he wasn't looking at her.

He then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "You got conjunctivitis!"

After saying that, she put one hand behind her back and pinched Gu Chenglin's arm, and Gu Chenglin returned the gesture with a light pat.

This indicates that he understands.

Gu Chenglin was indeed surprised; he hadn't expected anyone from the palace to come to his house.

It seems that the hot pot and sesame paste that Lu Yunqing sent back had an effect.

You know, that person is really short of money right now.

Dongfang Jin...

How did she manage to attract people from there?

This is not a good thing. Thinking this, he squinted and took another look at Lu Yunqing. This guy...

It was this guy who brought it...

At that moment, four words popped into her mind: "Fortune or misfortune."

I go……

What does this have to do with you? Why are you jumping out here?

Doesn't she know? This person is practically effeminate.

The fact that someone like that could come out of there safely, especially since he came with Lu Yunqing, makes one wonder if it's a blessing or a curse.

I really don't know what's in my head.

I'm worthless!

His tone was tinged with dissatisfaction.

Dongfang Jin was startled by the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind.

Thinking to myself: [What the heck?]

I'm not a ghost!

His tone rose, tinged with anger.

Dongfang Jin...

Was that what I was thinking?

[It's neither a thing nor a ghost, so could it be a person?]

I'm not human either!

His tone seemed to carry a hint of regret.

What to regret?

It's not a thing, it's not a ghost, and it's not a person right now...

Wow, why does this sound so awkward?

Could it be a demon? Or a deity?

After Dongfang Jin finished thinking, the voice did not appear again.

Gu Chenglin and Lu Yunqing both saw the fear in her eyes.

Lu Yunqing narrowed his eyes, smiling broadly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Ah Xi, go and call the village head of Lingwu Village."

Axi glanced at Dongfang Jin and gave her a reassuring look: "Yes."

Gu Chenglin pursed his lips and held Dongfang Jin's hand tightly with one hand.

Dongfang Jin: "..." What does this mean?

Was she scared?

He glanced at Lu Yunqing with a puzzled look, then at Gu Chenglin, and finally fixed his gaze on his hands.

I go……

Gu Chenglin, my hand is going to be ruined! We don't have any grudge against each other, do we?

"Let go, my hand is broken."

Gu Chenglin loosened his grip slightly and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Dongfang Jin shoved him away and said irritably, "Get lost. Do you think I'm afraid of them? What a joke."

Just now, someone did talk to her, right?

What is that? Could it be...?

Dongfang Jin suddenly felt relieved and her mind became clear as she thought of something. Here it comes…

It was a little late, but it was alright; he was someone who could talk.

She said, "The space has already appeared, how could there be missing parts..."

When Granny Gu approached and saw them, she didn't care whether Lu Yunqing and Anxi were present or not.

With one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Gu Chenglin, she yelled, "Gu Chenglin, you bastard, hand over all your secret stash of money right now!"

I never expected you to be so bold as to actually hide a secret stash of money.

"I raised you, you unfilial son, for nothing! You're such a thankless wretch! If I'd known you'd be this unfilial, I should have drowned you back then!"

Upon hearing this piercing curse, Dongfang Jin thought, "Damn it..."

If I didn't know you weren't Gu Chenglin's biological mother, I would have just vented my frustration.

Now that she knows it was this old hag who stole it, why is she still being polite?

They steal other people's children, forcing them to separate from their families from a young age.

It's bad enough that you don't treat people well, but you dare to raise them like livestock and torture them to death.

If she can't get rid of this anger today, she'll write her name backwards.

He turned and ran towards the woodshed near the gatehouse, pulled out a thin bramble from the doorway, weighed it in his hand, and casually picked it up.

This thing is not only light to hold, but it's also thin and soft, like a whip, and it hurts more when you hit someone with it than a thick stick.

These are the brambles that Gu Chenglin just cut down yesterday for weaving baskets. Dongfang Jin took the brambles and walked out the door.

Seeing that Granny Gu was about to pounce on Gu Chenglin, he quickly stepped forward and lashed out with a thorny branch.

He roared, "This son of a bitch is a bastard, a bastard, and you still want money from him?"

Who are you? I'll beat you to death, you old hag! For coming to my house to cause trouble on this holiday!

Do you really think she's a pushover? She was weak before and didn't want to fight, but now that she's recovered, she's not going to let you run wild anymore.

Gu Chenglin...

When did his wife become so agile?

Lu Yunqing...

Is it so tough?

Anxi...

This...this looks a bit like the current Lady Rongguo.

Is this what they mean by "birds of a feather flock together"?

Old Mrs. Gu screamed in alarm as she was struck by the thorn cane: "Ah! You damned bitch! How dare you hit me! I'm your mother-in-law!"

"Gu Chenglin, you unfilial and rebellious son, beat this shameless bastard!"

Lu Yunqing... That's great!

Anxi frowned. They're already fighting?

Gu Chenglin... I didn't see him.

Jun Qirui was inside the door, and he's already made a move?

Jun Wenhui glanced at her son: "Is this a good thing for Xiao Jin?"

Jun Qirui shook his head: "Let's see."

"What about the child?"

"My sister took me to the flower room."

"Alright."

When Dongfang Jin saw her cursing him, he took the thorny branch and started whipping Gu Pozi: "I'm beating you, you old thing who takes advantage of your age. Mother-in-law? Who do you call your mother-in-law?"

Who are you calling a disobedient son? You're the shameless one, your whole family is shameless.

While cursing loudly, Granny Gu tried to snatch the bramble from her hand: "Fang Jin, you jinx! I'm your mother-in-law!"

You dare say no? You beat your mother-in-law, that's extremely unfilial, you deserve to be thrown into a pig cage.

Gu Chenglin! You unfilial son, are you just going to watch this jinx beat your mother?

Old Granny Gu's pig-slaughtering screams startled the people who followed her, causing them to stop in their tracks.

Gu Chenglin...you're not my mother, you deserve to be hit!

Dongfang Jin put one hand on her hip and pointed at her with a thorny branch in the other, cursing: "Pah, you bullshit mother-in-law, stop trying to get involved with me. Where are your son and daughter-in-law?"

We've severed all ties, understand?

If it weren't for Gu Chenglin's reputation, she would have blurted it out long ago.

That "grandmother-in-law" was truly disgusting.

Old Mrs. Gu glared at her angrily, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and asked through gritted teeth, "Dare you say you're not the wife of that unfilial son Gu Chenglin?"

That bitch is so slippery, I never knew she was so nimble.

She actually dared to hit her!

Dongfang Jin looked at her with a roguish grin. Kill her? That's all?

"Yes! I'm Gu Chenglin's wife. Are you jealous? Or are you..."

“Xiao Jin,” Gu Chenglin called out in a deep voice, interrupting her.

What's this person trying to do? Why is he saying everything?!

“Xiao Jin,” Lu Yunqing frowned slightly, displeased. This girl was a bit outspoken, which could easily get her into trouble.

“Xiao Jin,” Jun Wenhui’s face turned a little pale. How could this child be so outspoken? There’s a little girl in the family.

When Dongfang Jin heard someone call her name, she pouted and said, "Shut up!"

I haven't had enough of talking...
