Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 387 Revealing true colors

inside the house.

"Gu Qingxiu, I know you want to take me back to explain yourself. After all, I was once your closest sister. Now that Gu Ruyan is back, you are really heartless!"

Liu Yunwei gritted her teeth. She couldn't understand how the Gu family could be so heartless. She had grown up in the Gu family since she was a child, and they just abandoned her like that!

"What kind of sister are you? You've known all along that you're not our biological child, yet you've always tried to blackmail our parents into giving you everything."

Your mother tried to stop you from marrying Qin Zheng, and in a fit of anger, you nearly killed her with a knife. You ungrateful wretch, do you think we should treat you well? Do you deserve it?

Gu Qingzhe, who was outside, widened his eyes upon hearing this. His second brother had mentioned this to him before, but he thought it was impossible.

Yunwei is so timid, how could she dare to take out a knife, let alone threaten her mother?

Yunwei later explained to him that it was all a misunderstanding, but everyone was protecting her mother and no one listened to her explanation.

He chose to believe Yunwei.

However, inside the room, Gu Yunwei had already changed her tune. "That's because she's blind! I told her I liked Qin Zheng, and she just agreed, right? Why did she have to come up with all that high-sounding reasoning!"

Besides, I didn't actually kill her, so what's the big deal?

"No wonder your child can do such beastly things. Like father, like son!" Gu Qingxiu said with disgust.

"What? Go ahead and kill me if you dare! If you do, Gu Qingzhe will definitely come after you! Then you brothers will turn against each other, making those two old guys so angry they vomit blood and eventually die!" Liu Yunwei's smile was cold and sinister, like a snake.

"You're asking for death!" Gu Qingxiu grabbed Gu Yunwei by the neck with one hand. "No need to be arrogant. When it gets dark, I will personally take you to the authorities."

Liu Yunwei's eyes changed slightly. She absolutely could not be sent back to the government office. If she went back, she would surely die!

"If you dare to send me back to the government, I will implicate Gu Qingzhe and say that he committed arson, murder, and prison break. Then Gu Qingzhe will have to pay with his life!"

Not only him, but your entire Gu family will be implicated. Isn't Grand Tutor Gu most concerned about his lifelong reputation?

After years of diligent service as an official, can you bear the thought of your reputation being ruined in your later years, or even being branded a criminal?

Liu Yunwei's eyes flashed with malice. "I advise you to pretend you've never seen me. If anything happens to me, none of you will escape!"

Gu Qingxiu's ears twitched slightly; he had noticed the subtle movements outside just now. He said, "Qingzhe isn't stupid. Why would he drag his entire family down for a bitch like you?"

"Isn't he stupid enough?" Liu Yunwei blurted out, "He's the biggest fool in the world, he believes everything I say!"

"For me, he's willing to give up Wang Shi and his children. I'd even let him die! Unless you can just watch him die, I've got you all under my thumb!" Liu Yunwei said smugly.

"You're overthinking it. My father has already expelled him from the family register. He's no longer a member of the Gu family."

"What did you say? Has that old man gone mad? He doesn't even want his own son!"

Gu Qingxiu remained calm. "Otherwise what? Do you really want me to use Qingzhe to bring disaster to the entire clan? Why should everything our Gu family has worked so hard for over the years be buried with someone like you?"

"If you dare to send me to the authorities, I will tell the world that he not only broke me out of prison and committed arson, but also committed bestial acts against me since childhood. He cannot withstand such stimulation and can only die!"

Gu Qingzhe stood there in a daze, hardly believing that Liu Yunwei had said this.

It turns out that she was just using him, even treating him like a fool and manipulating him at will!

"Liu Yunwei, I had no idea you were such a good actress!"

Gu Qingzhe stormed into the house in a rage, his eyes blazing with fury, as if he wanted to tear Liu Yunwei to pieces.

Liu Yunwei was surprised that Gu Qingzhe had overheard her words. A look of panic flashed in her eyes as she said anxiously, "Third Brother, please let me explain."

"I heard everything perfectly clearly, what else do you have to explain!"

"No, no, no!" Liu Yunwei cried out in panic. "I only gambled with my second brother because I was too scared. I was just trying to protect myself. Can't you tell?"

However, Gu Qingzhe clearly no longer believed it at this moment, and felt that he was extremely stupid!

"Now you understand, we're going to take her to the authorities tonight. Do you have any objections?"

Gu Qingxiu's eyes were indifferent. He had long been completely disappointed in Gu Qingzhe. Even if he didn't agree, he had already made thorough preparations.

Gu Qingzhe shook his head. His beliefs of many years had completely collapsed. He was a complete fool.

Deserted by everyone.

……

Song family.

"Fifth Sister, we're setting off tomorrow. Do you think everything your Fourth Brother has prepared for you is complete?" Song Jingshen asked with a smile.

Looking at the list compiled by her fourth brother, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but click her tongue: "Fourth brother is naturally meticulous in everything he does, but isn't this a bit too much?"

She felt that her trip was less like a rescue mission and more like a princess going on a tour.

Her food, clothing, and daily necessities were all of the highest quality. Her fourth brother was worried that she had never traveled far from home and might not be comfortable on the boat, so he chose the best bedding and even the seat cushions to ensure she was comfortable.

"It's no exaggeration. You don't know how arduous the journey is if you've never traveled far from home. Even if traveling by water would be a little better, you'd still be stuck on the boat all day and might even get seasick."

Song Zhiyu knew all too well that doing business outside was not easy, involving a lot of travel, so he wanted to be as comfortable as possible within certain limits.

Moreover, his father's current condition is unknown. According to his guess, he is likely recovering from an injury and should not be tired from traveling. Therefore, he has prepared everything that needs to be prepared.

Song Ruozhen nodded, saying it was fine to bring it along, as it might come in handy sometime.

"You seem to have something on your mind today?" Song Jingshen noticed Song Ruozhen's unusual behavior and said.

“After returning from my maternal grandparents’ house yesterday, my eldest and second eldest brothers looked preoccupied. I asked them if something had happened, but they wouldn’t tell me. Do you know about this too?”

"It's just a small matter. It will all be resolved tonight. There's no need to worry."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. This matter involves too many people, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Liu Yunwei is a remarkable woman. She squandered a winning hand, yet now, holding a bunch of bad cards, she still manages to plunge the Gu family into crisis, demonstrating the ruthlessness of this vicious woman.

She understood that both her maternal grandfather and her two uncles were upright and incorruptible people, and they would do their best to protect Gu Qingzhe, so Gu Yunwei absolutely could not be sent back to the government office safely.

At the very least, her hands should be crippled and her mouth poisoned so she can never speak again.

However, she felt that this was still not safe enough, so... she had to make other arrangements.
