Chapter 582: The Past Incident, Yao Yao’s Mother (3)

Although there were not a lot of people in the Gu family for this new year, it did not seem bleak. It was still as lively as before as the kids ran about the place. Little Six and Little Nine were already used to life in their hometown. They had long known how to read and frequently wrote to their parents. Being taught by their grandparents at home and the group of grandpas and grandmas from the cowshed, they improved very quickly.

On a particular day, Gu Qingyao, Gu Yunshuang and Gu Fangting made a table of food. Gu Qingyao had been away for some time and a long time since the table was filled with such a spread of delicacies, hence the sight brought much joy to everyone.

Gu Qingyao was going to get married after the new year, and everyone was filled with many sentiments, so there were many topics to chat about then.

Everyone stayed up together to celebrate the arrival of the new year, and the kids were excited.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone was gathered together except for Gu Yunshen, who went to his room quietly and did not come out.

This New Year was a special one for him.

After this, her daughter would be an adult and would even be marrying someone already!

Eighteen years ago was too special to him!

There was something in his hands which he could not keep his eyes away. Due to the passing of time, it had already turned yellow, but it was still like a treasure to him.

This was an item that the whole Gu family did not know about, including Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu.

Only he knew about it.

Back in that year, he was picking herbs on the mountain. He was very young then and would occasionally go deep into the mountains to look for rare herbs. It was during that trip to the mountains where he met her.

He saved her, and she said she would devote her life to him. He could tell there was something off about her then, but she was insistent on marrying him. As he disagreed, she suddenly used a rope to tie his hands to a tree branch before lunging at him.

The girl had a very nice smell, and he could tell that it was her first time. Her alluring looks indeed made him fall for her.

The Gu family was once a wealthy and powerful family, but they had been staying in the countryside after the head of the family fell in dire times. Although he had been living in the countryside and did much work that the countryside men would do, deep down he was still the young master of the Gu family

With his family’s foundation, regardless of judgment, knowledge or upbringing, he was different from the people around him.

None of the ladies in their hometown could catch his eyes.

He was also aware that given his identity, it was impossible to meet a lady from better family background, and even if he did, she would not marry a village man like him.

Thus, he was very clear at that time that he might not meet a like-minded lady to spend the rest of his life with.

Unless the times changed, and the Gu family regained its status.

Yet, unexpectedly, he met her!

Even though they only interacted for a day, he could tell that the lady before him had an extremely good upbringing and knowledge and this was definitely not cultivated by an ordinary family.

It was not that he cared about the person’s family or background, but he was truly very excited to meet a like-minded person.

Thus, when the lady lunged at him, he did not resist.

While he was tied by a rope, given his abilities, he would be able to resist if he really wanted to!

Until when the lady had no more energy left, he released the rope and hugged her, giving her more of what she wanted.

He only let go of her when the drug’s effect wore off.

Only then did he realize that there was a very rare love poison on this lady. A rare, murderous and extremely despicable poison!
