How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 227 I Want to See How Hard-Hearted You Are
Madam Gu's father thought he wasn't ruthless at all. "She brought this on herself. If she hadn't insisted on becoming a female tutor, would your father have gone to cause trouble for that little girl from the Qian family?"

"But we can't make the third brother atone with his death, can we?"

Even Gu Er's father wanted to strangle her. "She caused all this trouble; if she doesn't atone with her death, who will?"

"You! How could you be so cruel?"

"Hmph!" If he weren't worried that the Qian family would keep Brother Gu from leaving, he would have sent that brat down to keep her husband company right now. "Hurry up, Brother Gu is still at the yamen."

Madam Gu's mother wiped away her tears. "I'll go right now."

Meanwhile, the Gu family also learned that Old Gu had been sent to the yamen by the Eighteenth.

Madam Gu called over Madam Gu the Second. "Your father-in-law has offended Miss Qian."

Madam Du was taken aback. "Father-in-law went to find Miss Qian?"

"Hmm." The old lady recounted what had happened. "You should pack your things and go be a tutor to Miss Qian."

Du was overjoyed. "Mother, you've agreed to let me go?"

"Yes. You've been waiting for so many years, go do what you want to do."

"Mother?" Du's eyes reddened.

The old lady stroked Du's hair. "Your mother has always wanted you to go. But you know, in our family, your father-in-law is the one who calls the shots."

"Mother, thank you."

"Go and pack your things. Your father and your father-in-law are alike. If your father knew that your father-in-law was sent to the yamen because of you, who knows what he would do to you?"

Madam Du kowtowed three times to the old lady. "Mother, I will be your daughter-in-law again in my next life."

"Okay. Go quickly."

"Hmm. Mother, what will you do after Father-in-law comes back?"

"I told you that I sent you to be Miss Qian's tutor so that Miss Qian could calm down."

Mrs. Du was relieved. "Thank you."

"go quickly."

Du kowtowed three more times to Madam Gu before leaving.

After she left, the old woman beside Madam Gu couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are you really willing to let the Second Madam go?"

“I can’t bear to part with him, but I’m a woman too. A woman’s life is already hard enough, and if her husband dies, it will be even harder.”

"You have the heart of a bodhisattva."

Just as the old woman finished speaking, a maidservant came in. "Madam, the Second Madam's mother has arrived."

"understood."

After the maid left, Madam Gu looked at the old woman beside her. "Tell the Second Madam to leave immediately."

"Yes."

"Go out the back door."

"Yes."

Madam Gu, assuming Madam Du had left, went to see Madam Du's mother. "Mother-in-law, I was just about to come looking for you. My old man has offended Miss Qian. You know who I'm talking about, don't you?"

“I know. You…” Du’s mother wanted to say, “Don’t blame my daughter,” but couldn’t bring herself to say it. “I came here for this too. My husband asked my daughter to tell Miss Qian that she regrets it and doesn’t want to be a teacher anymore.”

"Then Miss Qian got even angrier."

"This……"

"Now we can only send the second son's wife to be a tutor for Miss Qian."

"This……"

"I've already sent my second son's wife."

Du's mother breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll go back and talk to my husband."

"I send you."

"no, I'm fine."

After returning home, Du's mother told Old Man Du what Madam Gu had said. Old Man Du was very angry. "You women are all cowards."

After saying that, Old Man Du went to chase after Madam Du. Did Madam Du know what kind of person her father was?

As Xiaogousheng's group grew larger, Du Shi quickly found out where they were staying. Du Shi rushed over as fast as she could.

Old Du was also quite fast.

However, Madam Du left before him. By the time he caught up, Madam Du had already gone inside. He wanted to go in, but the guards at the gate wouldn't let him in.

"I've come to find my daughter."

"Your daughter doesn't want to see you."

"You...you are bullying others by taking advantage of your power."

The guards exchanged a glance and then let Old Man Du in.

Old Du thought the guards at the gate were intimidated by him, but as soon as he went in, he was stared at. "You...you've gone too far."

brush!
The soldier watching him drew his knife. "You'd better behave yourself. Your daughter doesn't want to see you right now."

Old Man Du dared not make a sound.

Xiaogou and the others didn't return until after dinner. Knowing that the Du family father and daughter had arrived, Xiaogou first called over Mrs. Du.

Du bowed to the little dog, Sheng. "Greetings, Miss Qian. I'd like to become a teacher here."

“I know. I’ll have someone test you. If you pass, I’ll make you a teacher. If not, I’ll arrange another job for you.” She was short of female teachers, but she couldn’t just send anyone to be one.

"Okay." Mrs. Du was very confident in her knowledge.

The little dog, Sheng, invited Old Master Wen over.

Old Master Wen asked Madam Du a few questions, and Madam Du not only answered them, but answered them quite well. Old Master Wen praised Madam Du, saying, "Her knowledge is enough to teach even the boys."

The little dog was delighted. "Welcome to our school. From now on, you will be our teacher."

Mrs. Du was also very happy. "Thank you. What about my father-in-law?"

"I'll let it go for your sake."

"Thank you."

"Hmm. I heard your father is here too. Would you like to see him?"

"No, thank you." Mrs. Du was quite disappointed in her father.

"Then I'll let him go. Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Then I'll have someone take you to rest. We can talk about the specifics tomorrow; it's getting late today."

"it is good."

After Madam Du left, Xiaogou Sheng had someone bring Old Man Du over. Old Man Du didn't want to bow to Xiaogou Sheng, but the situation forced him to comply. "Hello, Miss Qian, Miss Qian, I've come to take my daughter back home."

The little dog glanced sideways at Old Man Du. "Uncle, what should we do with someone as heartless as him?"

Eighteen laughed upon hearing this. "Of course, we want to see just how hard-hearted he really is! Someone, bring a bow and arrows." You can't reason with this kind of person.

Old Du's face turned pale instantly. "What are you trying to do?"

As he picked up his bow and arrow, Shiba said, "Didn't I tell you? I want to see just how hard-hearted you are?"

Old Man Du was so frightened that he took several steps back. "I'm not taking her back. I'm leaving now, right now."

Eighteen arrows were nocked on the bow. "Wait a minute, I really want to know just how hard-hearted you are?"

bump!
Old Man Du knelt on the ground. "I was wrong, please forgive me."

"Tch!" The eighteen bows and arrows were put away. "You dare to go against us? Get lost!"

"Yes, I'll get out of here right now, I'll get out of here right now."

Old Du scrambled away.

When Old Man Gu returned home and learned that Madam Gu had let Madam Du go, he was furious. "You! You! You! Couldn't you have waited for me to come back?"

As the old lady patted the old man's back to help him catch his breath, she said, "Wasn't I doing this for you? And you, why did you go and give someone something to use against you?"

"I...how would I know they knew who I was? I've never even met them! How would I know the Emperor would appoint that little girl to an official position? I...I'm going to divorce Du Shi for the sake of the second son!"
