Chapter 507 - 508: Tarnishing the Sect’s Reputation
Grandpa Zhuang’s anger surged up instantly, and he said, "Apologize? Apologize for what? Gu Wenjuan couldn’t possibly do such a thing. He Yong’er was never a good person to begin with. Can we even trust what she says?"
"Family Head, I think we shouldn’t be so certain about this. After all, Gu Wenjuan has only been brought back by you recently. We don’t really know what kind of person she was before..."
"Malicious intentions!" Grandpa Zhuang snapped. "Wen Nuan absolutely couldn’t have done such a thing. This child is very well-behaved. I visited her school before; all the teachers who taught her said she was obedient and honest. My niece is also a good child, as you all know. It’s impossible for her to teach someone who would disgrace our family!"
"It’s not possible to tell what kind of person she is just by looking."
"Moreover, she didn’t grow up by your side, unlike Ziqi. We all know what kind of person you are, and Ziqi has been well-behaved since childhood. If the person in today’s recording was Zhuang Ziqi, I definitely wouldn’t believe it. But it’s Gu Wenjuan we’re talking about..."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
It was just after noon, and Grandpa Zhuang had just woken up from his nap.
By now, Gu Wenjuan had been out for the whole day.
She was startled to see so many people in the house but recognized everyone and quickly greeted them, then asked, "Why are there so many people here today? Is something the matter?"
In saying this, she didn’t seem to consider herself an outsider at all.
Everyone noticed this and exchanged covert glances.
Grandpa Zhuang looked at Gu Wenjuan, seemed about to say something, but then he sighed deeply and said, "Wen Nuan..."
Gu Wenjuan immediately felt that something was off.
A female relative quickly came forward with a smile and said, "Wen Nuan, I heard you’ve always liked Young Master Yu."
This comment was very direct. Gu Wenjuan paused, feeling a pang in her heart, "Why would you suddenly say that?"
"I just heard some things. It seems Young Master Yu likes you too," the female relative said with a smile, making it sound convincing. "Is it true?"
Gu Wenjuan’s eyes lit up, "Who told you that?"
Seeing her reaction, everyone knew that Gu Wenjuan was indeed interested in Young Master Yu, and their looks at her turned a bit strange.
The female relative continued smiling, "It’s just what I heard. Just say whether you like Young Master Yu or not."
Gu Wenjuan’s eyes dimmed slightly as she said, "Young Master Yu doesn’t like me."
Not giving up, the female relative asked, "You’re close with He Yong’er, right?"
Recently, the issue with He Yong’er had been quite a scandal, and of course, Gu Wenjuan knew about it. She hesitated a bit before saying, "Not really close."
"I heard she gave you a spray, is that true?"
Gu Wenjuan was startled, "How did you know?"
"So it’s true?" The female relative exclaimed with joy. "You really did drug Young Master Yu, trying to get into his bed!"
Gu Wenjuan was shocked and upset, "What do you mean, you’re talking nonsense!"
"What nonsense? He Yong’er admitted it herself, saying you were jealous of Princess Mo, liked Young Master Yu, took her spray to drug him, and now Princess Mo is heartbroken, all because of you being the other woman!"
