Chapter Sixty Attack

  Thank you for the reward from 0953996203, may cat have a good sleep.

  Shu Yuxiu's smile almost simultaneously converged, Shu Xuan furrowed his brow and said: "What's going on? What's the matter with falling into the river?"

  Shu Yao's eyebrows furrowed, "Is Ama the official in charge of inspecting the river embankment? Did all the people in front die and disappear into the river?" Shu Yao had thought of the worst possibility before, that when the Yellow River burst its banks, it would bring disaster to Ama Zhiyuan. E Mama had said that Ama was a third-grade official with yamen runners attending him, and he wouldn't easily go to the embankment. Even if there was a breach in the dike, it wouldn't collapse all at once, and Ama should have been able to evacuate to a safe place quickly.

  The Yellow River burst its banks, and all I've heard is that good fields were flooded, the common people were displaced, but I haven't heard of any high-ranking officials falling into the river. Shu Yao asked again: "Is this just a rumor?"

  "Sixth Auntie, it's a message sent by Ba Zhu."

  "Is Bao Zhu Ren okay? Did he fall into the river too?"

  The old man stormed out of the house, clearly having overheard the conversation between the three siblings. Cherry chased after him, holding his shoes, "Old master, you're not wearing shoes... Old master... Wait a bit!"

  Xiu Yao just discovered that Old Master was barefoot, and Sakura knelt down to help Old Master put on his shoes. Old Master asked, "Where is Bao Zhu?"

  "According to what Old Master said, Bao Zhu is searching for the old master along the riverbank. Several provinces north of the Yellow River have been flooded due to the dike breach, and it's said to be chaotic. Bao Zhu sent a message saying that he won't return to Beijing until he finds Second Master."

  "What if Zhiyuan has an accident and can't make it to Beijing?"

  Zhang's wife wasn't one to understand details, she came to pass on a message for the three siblings to return home. The old master angrily said: "Where is the person who passed on the message?"

  Zhang's wife had never seen the old man in such a rage, as if he was about to swallow someone whole. "In the old lady's house, at that time the mistress was accompanying the old lady, and the visitor was anxious and directly reported to the old lady."

  "Is Zhiyuan's wife fainting? Is she crying in pain?"

  Shu Yao said: "Ma Fa, E Niang will neither faint nor cry in pain. She is very strong and believes that Ah Ma will return safely."

  The old man and Shu Yao looked at each other, then glanced at the two equally calm and composed grandsons. The old man quickly changed his mind from just now. The three siblings raised by daughter-in-law Gual Jia were excellent, and the future of the Duke's Mansion would depend on Zhiyuan and his brothers.

  "You three come with me."

  "Uh-huh."

  Old Master brought Shu Yao and her three siblings to see Old Lady. As soon as they entered the Rongshou Hall, they heard a faint cry coming from inside the house. "Second Aunt, you should let it go, you have your nephew to rely on... how did Second Uncle... just leave like that... wuwu..."

  Then came Gualgiya's calm voice, "Third sister and brother, my husband is missing after falling into the water, not gone. Do you wish him ill?"

  "Wu wu I...I... Second sister, I didn't mean it that way... My heart is full of hope for Second Uncle's safety, but...but..." Tong Jia Shi sobbed, "It was swept away by the river, and many people were drowned due to the severe flooding. Alas, Mother, let's go to the temple to pray for blessings."

  "Zhiyuan's wife, I know you're suffering in your heart. It's not just you, even I wouldn't be able to bear it." The old lady's voice was trembling with tears. "Zhicheng's wife also has a point, you're lucky to have Shuxuan and Shuyi, you'll get through this."

  "Mother, my husband is invincible, even if he falls into the river and drowns, the Dragon King of the River dare not take his life."

  Shu Yao's eyes curved after hearing this, and her mother-in-law Gual Jia Shi's words were too impressive. Even the Dragon King of the River couldn't compete with her for a man. The old master sighed: "Gual Jia Shi is a wife who has far-reaching ambitions, she is more capable than Zhiyuan, and even more so than his mother..."

  The old man took the words and truly compared them, Zhiyuan's mother couldn't keep up.

  Gual Jia, the old master does not admit this point. In his heart, she is the most perfect woman, worthy of his remembrance for a lifetime.

  "What are you talking about? We're trying to advise you, do we want something bad to happen to Zhiyuan? Zhiyuan is the one who calls me 'Mother'."

  The old lady was unhappy, the old man walked to the door, gesturing for the maid who lifted the curtain at the door to shut up. Gualjia stood in the house, proudly like a green cypress tree, with a pair of phoenix eyes that were not sad or sorrowful, but lightly contemptuous. Under her gaze, those who had prepared to watch the commotion in the house did not dare to hang their heads in shame, nor even sniffle, which was enough to testify to Gualjia's majestic aura.

  "To be honest with you, I think it's more like watching a show."

  The big wife, who was also a widow, almost stumbled upon hearing this sentence. The second sister-in-law, Guwalgiya, was able to say such words... what kind of person was she? The big wife, Nara, couldn't think of suitable words and secretly glanced at the second sister-in-law, remembering how she had cried so hard when she heard the news of her husband's death that she could hardly breathe. How would she live for the rest of her life? Zhiyuan's death was not confirmed, but wasn't falling into the water and disappearing just like dying?

  Gwalia is about to become a widow and still dares to resist the old lady, without the protection of the Duke's Mansion, Gwalia would have to rely on the Duke's Mansion even if she has a son to rely on. The future of her son, the marriage of her daughter, which one can leave the Shumu Lu family, leave the Duke's Mansion? This world is not made by just having money, Nara hesitated and opened his mouth to speak for Gwalia: "Mother, calm down, second brother and sister are too sad... Second brother and sister, say a few words."

  The old lady said: "I don't see where she's been overly worried."

  "It's just that Master fell into the water, I'm worried he might catch a chill. There's no need to be so sad, Eldest Sister, you're overreacting."

  Gualjia's lips curled up in a faint smile, her eyes calm as a mirror, no one could see her weakness or guess what was on her mind. The old lady, on the other hand, was so enraged by Gualjia that she couldn't speak, originally intending to scold Gualjia severely, but remembering Gualjia's strong comeback since returning to Beijing, the old lady felt a little intimidated, and the saying "good people are bullied" was perfectly illustrated at this moment.

  The old lady didn't dare to scold Madame Gualgiya, but instead blamed Madame Nara: "What's the point of your meddling?"

  "You should die, daughter-in-law." The old lady, Nala, knelt down, curled up into a ball and wept, admitting her fault.

  The old lady was indignant and vented her grievances to the first wife at Gu's residence, "What are you crying about? Even Zhiyuan's wife didn't shed a tear, what's wrong with you?"

  "Grandma, calm down and don't get angry, or it will harm your body."

  Li Ziqing helped the old lady to relieve her chest and throat, "Second Aunt, your granddaughter knows that you are not doing well, but everyone in the family is worried about Second Uncle."

  Gua Lijia said indifferently: "I appreciate your good intentions, nephew's daughter, but you should mind your own business."

  Who is Gua Lijia? Can't you see Li Ziqing's true intentions yet? Even Shu Yao, who was standing outside the door, could guess a thing or two. Li Ziqing must be delighted to know that Shu Yao had discovered her true thoughts through her ability to read people's minds. Shu Yao clenched her fists, wishing she didn't know. Li Ziqing thought that Zhiyuan was dead and the title would definitely go to Third Uncle Zhicheng. Zhicheng was soft on his ears and not very capable, but after Li Ziqing entered the Fourth Prince's mansion, everyone in the Zhongyong Duke's mansion would listen to and support her. With the external support of the Grand Duke's mansion, Li Ziqing's days would be much better.

  This is not what makes Shu Yao the angriest. In an era where family background and social status are everything, Shu Yao looks down on Li Qinger, but it's understandable that she wants to rely on her natal family to hold her head high in her husband's household. Deep down, Shu Yao thinks the same way. Li Qinger's schadenfreude is of no consequence, as Amala has never raised her and doesn't have any feelings for her. But what makes Shu Yao absolutely furious is that Li Qinger is actually delighted that Gua'er Jia Shi is widowed, and that Shu Yao has become a fatherless orphan just like her.

  "Little sister, little sister." Shu Yao saw that something was wrong and grabbed her sister's arm to comfort her: "Sister, it's okay, it's okay."

  The old man looked at Shu Yao with a worried expression, "Shu Yao, learn from your mother, the daughters of the Shu Mu Lu clan are not timid."

  "Ma Fa, I will learn from Niang. You must pay for your evil deeds, Niang has taught me well, Li Zhiqing, take this!"

  Shu Yao suddenly lifted her head, bursting into a smile. However, Shu Xuan felt a chill in his heart. His little sister's smile had always been sweet and warm, making people feel close to her. But now, Shu Yao was also smiling, yet there was a hint of coldness in it. As soon as Shu Yao curled her fingers slightly, Li Qian inside the house let out an "ah" sound, while outside, Shu Yi hugged the fainting Shu Yao, "Little sister, little sister."

  The side effects of the special ability were huge, Shu Yao knocked Li Zhiqing out directly and fainted, the previous upgrade points were deducted, Shu Yao's body was like it was on fire, roasted to make Shu Yao very uncomfortable, as if the heavens were punishing Shu Yao for misusing the special ability. Shu Yao seemed to have fainted on the surface but was actually awake all along, Shu Yao cursed loudly, damn it, I'm in so much pain, heaven won't bully people like this, let me faint already.

  Shu Yao scolded the heavens, her personal space was about to be upgraded, and her abilities were also about to be upgraded. Using them too much would even lead to a downgrade, and downgrading was one thing, but it still hurt so much! The heavens were really tormenting Shu Yao. If she didn't have any special abilities, she wouldn't know what Li Zhiqin was thinking, and she wouldn't use her abilities to punish Li Zhiqin. Shu Yao thought that the heavens were just not being kind. At this moment, dark clouds filled the sky, and suddenly a heavy rain started pouring down. The heavens had cried, having been scolded by Shu Yao until they cried! Was there any other transmigrating woman who dared to bully the heavens like this?

  Gualjia heard the anxious cry of Shuyi outside the door, and in a few steps she came to the front of the door. She not only saw her three children but also met Old Master. Gualjia was taken aback, sidestepped slightly, and Old Master nodded at her, "You're doing fine."

  Gua Lijia smiled faintly and picked up Shu Yao, "Yao'er, Yao'er."

  Shu Yao could hear Gua Erjia's voice, but she couldn't open her eyes. "Mother, it hurts."

  Guarjia wanted to take Shu Yao back to her own courtyard, but it was raining outside and she didn't want to get Shu Yao wet. She turned around and went into the house, not caring about the reactions of the people inside. Guarjia couldn't let her daughter be humiliated, so she gave a sideways glance at Li Zhiqing, who was still complaining of a headache. The second aunt came forward and took Li Zhiqing away, making room for Shu Yao. Guarjia's authority was fully displayed, and the second aunt didn't dare to offend Guarjia.

  Fortunately, Guajia put Shuyao on the bed and touched her little face as if there was no one else around, coaxing: "Yao'er, it doesn't hurt, Yao'er, it doesn't hurt."

  Li Ziqing was nestled in her mother's womb, with a splitting headache, listening to Gua Erjia coaxing Shu Yao. Li Ziqing felt envious, jealous and resentful. The more she envied Gua Erjia's maternal love for Shu Yao, the more her head hurt.

  The old man appeared, and everyone's heart tightened. The old man had not set foot in Rongshou Hall for almost two years.
