Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239: Cunning Woman

“Ouch, ouch!”

Gu Hengniang kicked their front door, not expecting that Gu Ya’s door wouldn’t budge and instead, her foot hurt from the kick.

She howled twice.

Gu Hengniang glared at Gu Ya’s door, indignantly stuck between leaving and staying. Without the silver in hand, how could she willingly leave?

But if she stayed, it was clear her younger brother would not lend her the money. Hmph, what kind of love potion had Su Yunjin given her younger brother?

He was so bewitched that he protected her like this. Gu Hengniang was now both furious and regretful; had she known, she wouldn’t have pointed a stick at that wretch Su Yunjin.

If it weren’t for that incident, her younger brother definitely wouldn’t have been so heartless towards her. After a moment of hesitation and internal struggle, despite her unwillingness, Gu Hengniang had to acknowledge her younger brother’s temper. He was the type to sever ties; he would certainly not lend her money again. Realizing she couldn’t get money from Gu Ya, Gu Hengniang turned her attention to her fifth brother Gu Jianghai and his wife, who ran a bun shop in town.

She’d heard that their bun shop was doing quite well, and even though they didn’t earn as much as Gu Ya and his wife, borrowing thirty or fifty taels from them should be no issue. Taking advantage of the daylight that had not yet faded, she set off to find Gu Jianghai and his wife right away.

To get any amount of money was a win.

After Gu Hengniang left, Gu Ya closed the door, and upon turning around, saw his little wife coming towards him; Su Yunjin had heard everything Gu Ya had said to Gu Hengniang.

Gu Ya had severed ties with Gu Hengniang unreservedly for her, and Su Yunjin felt joy in her heart. In the past, Gu Ya had always protected his second sister, even arguing with her; but now, seeing Gu Ya firmly stand by her side without a second thought,

and even breaking ties with his second sister for her, it showed that Gu Ya really cared for her and their child. Gu Ya valued relationships deeply. Today’s incident would never have led to a severed relationship if Gu Ya hadn’t actually seen Gu Hengniang strike at her with a stick. Gu Hengniang took such a ruthless action in front of Gu Ya,

that’s why he ended his relationship with Gu Hengniang.

Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya as he looked back at his little wife, grateful that he had come back to check on her on the way. He couldn’t bear to imagine what could have happened if he hadn’t returned; with his little wife pregnant, his sister’s stick could have done real harm.

Not only the child in her belly would be at risk, but even his wife could have faced tragedy. Gu Ya pulled his wife into his arms with a look of fright on his face.

Gu Ya held her a little too tightly, making Su Yunjin uncomfortable, “Husband, let go, it’s too tight,” Su Yunjin squirmed in Gu Ya’s embrace.

Realizing he was making his wife uncomfortable, Gu Ya loosened his grip but continued to hold her. His arms wrapped around his wife’s waist.

His tone was tinged with fear.

“Yunjin, thank goodness you’re alright,” he was grateful for his timely return today, which had protected her from harm.

The thought that the one who had struck his wife was his very own sister,

filled Gu Ya with a sense of guilt toward her.

Su Yunjin wrapped her arms around Gu Ya, smiling coquettishly, her eyes gleaming with a touch of cunning and confidence, “Husband, don’t worry, even if you hadn’t returned today, I could have handled your sister.” Su Yunjin was no pushover, after all.

Gu Hengniang had tried to strike her,

but she knew how to dodge.
