Chapter 1539: A Calamity Lasts a Thousand YearsEditor: Henyee Translations

"The Old Marquis... believed it?" Gu Yundong asked.

Gu Yuwen smiled bitterly. "Back then, although the Old Marquis was famous outside, he didn’t pay much attention to family matters. Not to mention Shao Yin, even his two sons didn’t enjoy much affection from their father. That’s why his two sons were ordinary and didn’t inherit their father’s mantle."

Of course, the Old Marquis didn’t believe it at first. No matter how much he didn’t care about his daughter, he knew that Shao Yin had always been obedient and sensible. She would never do such a thing.

He sent someone to look for them, but the person he sent came back and said that Shao Yin and Gu Jingyuan were indeed in other prefectural cities. Furthermore, the two of them were very close and had always claimed to be husband and wife.

That person wanted to bring Shao Yin back, but he was unexpectedly resisted by this young lady. She threatened him with death with a dagger, and in the end, she cut his arm.

This person could be considered the Old Marquis’s trusted aide. The Old Marquis trusted him more than he trusted his daughter.

Even though his wife and sons objected and even wanted to send someone to look for her, they were stopped by the Old Marquis.

Moreover, for some reason, there was suddenly news that Shao Yin had eloped with someone.

In order to prevent the news from spreading and affecting the Marquis family’s reputation, the Old Marquis suppressed the news and made a prompt decision to say that Shao Yin had passed away due to illness.

The matter seemed to have become a foregone conclusion.

Later on, he found out that his confidant was a spy and a wolf sent by an opponent.

He had indeed found Shao Yin and Gu Jingyuan back then. Unfortunately, he had gone to look for Gu Jingyuan first. After receiving some money from Gu Jingyuan, he had sent back those unconfirmed news.

As for the Old Marquis, after suppressing the news, he began to deal with the Gu family.

Gu Yiping happened to offend the late emperor, so the Old Marquis took the opportunity to hand over the evidence of his corruption.

At this point, Gu Yuwen laughed. "Speaking of which, it’s all Gu Jingyuan’s fault that the Gu family became like this. That jinx should be cut into pieces."

Her emotions gradually rose again, and she slowly cried. "If it weren’t for him, my biological brother wouldn’t have fallen sick and died during the exile. My biological mother wouldn’t have been killed by that beast, and I wouldn’t have..."

Gu Yundong gave her a handkerchief. "Here, wipe it." She took out another pill. "Take this. It will make you feel better."

Gu Yuwen raised her head and did not stand on ceremony. She took the handkerchief and medicine and swallowed it.

As soon as the pill entered her throat, she felt a cooling sensation that instantly calmed her down.

Gu Yundong sat at the side and did not rush her. She waited for her quietly.

It turned out that Aunt Qiu had a son and a daughter. The bastard son had died on the way to exile. However, when they arrived at Linxun Island, Aunt Qiu was sent away by Gu Yiping and died early. Only Gu Yuwen, who was still young back then, was left. When she was exiled to Linxun Island, Gu Yuwen should be about the same age as the current Luo Qi.

As for Gu Yuwen, looking at her exhausted appearance, she must be having a hard time.

On the other hand, in the Gu family, except Gu Yiping who was crippled, the others were all lively and energetic even though they were thin.

Indeed, a scourge would live for a thousand years.

Seeing that Gu Yuwen had calmed down, Gu Yundong asked again, "What happened after that? Why did Gu Jingyuan appear on Linxun Island? Since Shao Yin was kidnapped by him, where did she go?"
