Chapter 334: Chapter 334 She is Actually Still Alive (4) Chapter 334: Chapter 334 She is Actually Still Alive (4) Five days had passed since Gu Qiaoqiao and her family arrived in the Imperial Capital.
Lady Yu had not gone out at all.
Therefore, no one knew she had returned.
Another reason was that this ti, Old Patriarch Gu had taken drastic asures; with the collusion of Uncle Gu, Zhang Yi, and Uncle Li, they had finally captured the group monitoring Old Patriarch Gu, beaten them up, and then thrown them in front of the gate of North Mountain Villa.
The two traitors were also found.
It was a temporary cleansing of the household, so now Gu Garden was very quiet.
Therefore, when Ning Wanru, aided by Gu Jiansheng and following Gu Cheng to Gu Garden to test the waters, saw the old lady sitting in the main seat of the living room, her body suddenly stiffened, and at that mont, her steps felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
She couldn’t even lift her legs.
Ning Wanru’s eyes widened, her heart pounding wildly.
Fearing that she might not see clearly, she blinked hard.
How could it be possible?
How could a person, supposedly dead, sit there with white hair yet a ruddy complexion, right beside Gu Qingfeng?
Don’t ask why Ning Wanru knew that was Lady Yu.
She just knew.
Because Lady Yu was the person she loathed most in her life; she had always kept her in her heart.
Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao had already taken the seat beside her, those similar outlines, what else was there to misunderstand?
At that mont, the air in the living room was sowhat stagnant.
Gu Qiaoqiao, on the other side of the sofa, looked sowhat astonished at Ning Wanru.
Was this the noble and elegant lady?
How had she aged so much?
Even though her face was powdered, the sagging corners of her eyes and the wrinkles at their base couldn’t be concealed.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, it seed that the Gold Jade Stone Carving had worked.
It was really fantastic!
This woman, obsessed with her external appearance, must have been eating and sleeping poorly these days.
Yet her attire was still exquisite, a cheongsam of golden brocade, soft leather shoes, and a genuine silk shawl.
It must be said, she had many fine possessions.
anwhile, Ning Wanru clutched Gu Cheng’s arm tightly, staring intensely at Lady Yu who sat on the sofa, looking at her with a cold gaze.
How could this be?
How could she possibly still be alive?
Moreover, to have co back to the Imperial Capital with them?
How did that old thing find her?
Her people had been cleaned out twice by that old thing, and the rest dared not show their faces anymore.
Otherwise, she truly would have no one left she could use.
And when those people were dumped at the gate of North Mountain Villa, she really realized that a starving cal is still bigger than a horse.
She thought the old thing was decrepit, yet she hadn’t expected that once he struck back, he was the sa as before.
So, heeding that person’s warning, she dared not make any reckless moves, and that’s why she didn’t know that the erstwhile mistress of Gu Garden had returned.
“Grandmother…” Gu Jiansheng noticed his grandmother’s loss of composure, and hurriedly called out.
Yet this voice suddenly pulled Ning Wanru back from her panic.
After all, this woman was Ning Wanru, so she quickly regained her composure.
She briskly pushed away the hands of Gu Cheng and Gu Jiansheng, and with tear-filled eyes, walked towards the sofa where Lady Yu was sitting.
She did not sit down, but instead started with a trembling voice, “Is Sister Yu back? Is that you?”
Gu Qingfeng heavily tapped his cane in his hand.
Calmly he said, “Do not call her Sister Yu, she is your elder sister-in-law; you and Young Master Chang alike should call her elder sister-in-law.”
