Chapter 227 Already Tainted
Hai Xue said these words without any intention of disguising them, and her eyes looked at ngyu with disgust.
She had set her sights on Ye Rushui to be her daughter-in-law, and ideally, she wanted the young girl to retreat in sha.
Ye Rushui was not wrong—how could a human trafficker abduct a girl and not touch her, especially when she was so pretty? It would be strange if they didn’t lay a hand on her.
Her son was a top student, and at just twenty-six, he beca a regint commander. How could he marry a tainted woman?
Her son was being pestered by this woman and couldn’t escape; if soone was going to play the villain, then she would!
Indeed, yesterday evening, Ye Rushui had told her about Gu Dongxing being unable to break free from a woman’s entanglent.
She spoke of how ngyu was not favored by her parents and was sold to a human trafficker, then rescued by Gu Dongxing a month later. Afterwards, for lack of a better place to go, she moved into Gu Dongxing’s house.
Subsequently, citing that Gu Dongxing had tarnished her reputation, she clung to him demanding that he take responsibility for her. Left with no choice, Gu Dongxing had to agree to marry her.
From Ye Rushui’s story, Madam Gu got several important pieces of information:
First, she was sold by her parents, which showed she was not favored by them. If parents were willing to sell her to a human trafficker, it could be seen how terribly bad her relationship with her parents was.
There were no completely wrong parents in the world, so the fault must lie with the girl who was sold by them.
Second, she spent a whole month in the hands of the human trafficker! Human traffickers, to ensure obedience from the girls they captured, would often violate them upon capture.
Therefore, even just one or two nights in the hands of a human trafficker could an she was probably no longer pure, let alone an entire month.
Third, her son rescued the girl and owed her a lifesaving debt, but instead of showing gratitude, she blackmailed him into marrying her, which was an ungrateful and treacherous act.
ngyu was unloved by her parents, impure, and ungrateful. Any of these points alone would be enough for her to reject such a daughter-in-law, let alone ngyu who embodied all three!
Gu Dongxing was eager to speak, but Madam Gu did not want to hear him out. She wanted to be the villain and solve this "trouble" for her son.
She looked firmly at ngyu, "Miss, I will not accept you as my daughter-in-law. You should go back to where you ca from."
Seeing Ye Rushui’s triumphant expression, ngyu nearly burst a blood vessel in anger.
Just last night, she had kicked Ye Rushui out of Gu Dongxing’s house, and now Ye Rushui had incited Madam Gu to banish her from the Hai Family.
ngyu was seething inside. How dare Ye Rushui sar her reputation in front of Madam Gu!
However, upon hearing about her marriage agreent with Gu Dongxing, she also grew angry.
She stepped forward and said to Madam Gu in neither a subservient nor overbearing manner:
"Madam, if you wish for to leave, I certainly won’t cling and stay. However, before I go, there are so things I must clarify.
First, the people who sold were not my biological parents, but my foster parents, who had adopted from my birth father to help raise their son and daughter. When their own children were born, I beca nothing more than a family servant."
She recounted her days living with the Jiang family.
Madam Gu did not expect her foster parents to be such people, and that she had lived such a miserable life, akin to that of a servant girl in a landlord’s house of the old society. To be able to grow up without being led astray in such an environnt was comndable.
Madam Gu’s expression softened a little.
