Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1826: Dumbfounding Stupidity

"What is going on?" Gu Qingyang’s face looked even uglier.

"The Family Head doesn’t know yet, but Huayu Temple has offended the Long Family. Previously, they couldn’t even enter the gate of Heavenly Sun Temple and were directly expelled. The Long Family also released the message that anyone in Tianyang City who shelters them is against the Long Family. They came to the Gu family, obviously wanting to get us in trouble." Zhu Yulan said with an expression of indignation.

"But the people have arrived, what do you think should be done?" Gu Qingyang’s face turned darker and darker as he asked, barely containing his anger.

"Of course, immediately expel them and prove to the Long Family that we do not intend to oppose them, asking for their understanding." Zhu Yulan said.

She was just thinking about how to drive Yu He out of the Gu family and vent her anger when she heard the Long Family’s rumor. How could she pass up such a great opportunity?

"Don’t forget, Yu He is a descendant of our Gu family and also your junior. Just because of a few threats from the Long Family, you don’t care about your own relatives. Do you think this is appropriate?" Gu Qingyang said sternly.

Gu Ming’an hadn’t expected his woman to hate Shen Yuhe to such an extent, wanting to use the Long Family’s matter to drive her out of the Gu family. Thinking of the grand gift Shen Yuhe had previously given him, he felt deeply ashamed and desperately signaled to Zhu Yulan. But no matter how much he blinked his eyes, even to the point of twitching, she didn’t glance at him, making Gu Ming’an almost stomp his feet in anxiety.

"Enough, stop talking." Gu Ming’an shouted at Zhu Yulan with a dark face.

"Why shouldn’t I speak? I want to speak." Previously, she had been reprimanded by Gu Qingyang in front of outsiders, but now even Gu Ming’an, who was usually henpecked, dared to shout at her, which infuriated Zhu Yulan, who then scolded bitterly, "You treat her like family, but does she treat us Gu family as family? She hasn’t come back to see us for over ten years, and when she finally returns, she brushes me off with a lousy glass bead, like I’m begging. Does she think she can humiliate me as she pleases?"

Glass beads? Gu Qingyang and the others simultaneously froze and then vaguely understood what was going on, feeling a mix of amusement and frustration.

"Pfft!" The Tang Family Master and the Pang Family Head sprayed out a mouthful of tea, their faces also turning unsightly. Even though it involved the Gu family’s affairs, which they shouldn’t meddle in, they couldn’t help but chuckle at the spectacle.

A Five-Colored Soul Pearl valued at millions was mistaken for a glass bead. They knew this woman had shallow knowledge, but they didn’t expect it to be this shallow. According to her, in truth, they quietly accepted the grand gift with uncontained joy, as if they were beggars.

Gu Qingyang’s mouth slightly twitched. He initially wanted to embarrass the outsiders, but now it was his own family that was getting humiliated instead.

"Is this glass bead you mentioned, this one?" Gu Qingyang seriously took out a relic soul bead from his bosom and asked Zhu Yulan.

With the situation turning out like this, he didn’t want to explain further. Seeing him being so serious, Zhu Yulan should have realized this "glass bead" wasn’t as simple as she thought.

Unfortunately, he still overestimated Zhu Yulan’s intellect.

"Shen Yuhe, not only did you insult me with a broken glass bead, but you even insulted your grandfather. Do you think your grandfather is a beggar too?" Zhu Yulan finally found Shen Yuhe’s weakness and, with her hands on her hips, scolded viciously.

Gu Qingyang looked at Shen Yuhe, so angry he could hardly speak.

"Well, now you don’t even care about your grandfather. Family Head, didn’t you say she was family? Now that the Gu family is in trouble, shouldn’t this family member contribute? I heard that the Gu family’s Young Master is fond of her. Might as well let the Gu family have her, even as a concubine. When the time comes, the Long Family might let the Gu family off the hook." Zhu Yulan said sarcastically.

Mu Hanyan and the others felt a chill; this woman truly held grudges. Just because of the "glass bead" incident, she became so angry and came up with such a vicious idea, coincidentally aligning with the Long Family’s intentions. But while others intended to humiliate outsiders, she actively humiliated her own kind.

"Shut up..." Gu Ming’an finally couldn’t bear it anymore, raised his voice and scolded, showing rare anger.

"Gu Ming’an, are you daring to be fierce with me, have you grown wings and don’t take me seriously?" This was the first time Zhu Yulan had seen Gu Ming’an dare to be angry with her. She paused for a moment and then broke out again.

"Slap!" Gu Ming’an raised his arm and slapped her across the face.

Although he wasn’t very powerful, he was still a Fifth-rank Divine Priest, much stronger than ordinary people. Zhu Yulan spun half a circle where she stood and fell to the ground.

"You, you dare hit me..." Zhu Yulan was completely stunned, tears streaming down her face, looking at Gu Ming’an who was furious, she felt unprecedented fear.

"Ming’an, take her away. What kind of scene is this in front of outsiders?" Gu Qingyang took a deep breath and gestured with his hand.

"Yes." Gu Ming’an, filled with frustration, dragged Zhu Yulan out.

After taking a slap from Gu Ming’an, Zhu Yulan suddenly became more alert and realized the Family Head seemed different, regaining his previous confidence, calmness, and authority. She felt a slight shiver in her heart, daring not say more, obediently following behind Gu Ming’an.

"Also, I’ll handle any future affairs of the Gu family myself. You don’t need to interfere anymore, and if there’s nothing else, let her stay quietly in the yard, not appear in public. I can’t afford that embarrassment. If she acts indecent again, I’ll send a divorce letter to the Zhu Family." Gu Qingyang added.

Zhu Yulan felt chilled inside. She had been accustomed to acting bossy in the family for many years, hitting and scolding the servants at will. Even though the Gu family’s days were getting worse, she enjoyed being in charge. Suddenly stripped of her power by the Family Head, she didn’t know how others would view her, fearing contemptuous looks.

Of course, that wasn’t the most terrifying part. Returning to the Zhu Family with a divorce letter would mean her complete disgrace.

And the worst part is, she still didn’t understand what exactly she did wrong to make the Family Head so angry.
