Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 400 Bullied
Feng had a loud voice, and Gu Yunji heard the scolding from a distance, but it was just vague, and he couldn't hear clearly what was said.

Gu Yunji was anxious and walked quickly to the backyard. As soon as he stepped in the door, he saw his wife's white face, her eyes filled with mist, and she looked aggrieved by being bullied.

Gu Yunji rarely saw his wife cry, and his heart tightened. He subconsciously thought that something extremely serious had happened. He immediately stepped forward and half-hugged her shoulders into his arms, saying in a deep voice: "What's wrong? Who bullied you? "

Xu Shuhua turned his face away so that he could not see his red eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "It's nothing... I spoke in a hurry, it's just a small matter..."

Feng's words insulted her biological mother. Xu Shuhua was so ashamed and angry that he almost fell out with her on the spot.However, as soon as Gu Yunji appeared, Xu Shuhua had someone to rely on and calmed down. He didn't want her husband to conflict with the Xu family elders over a few words, let alone worry about him.

Seeing that Xu Shuhua didn't want to talk to him, Gu Yunji's heart dropped. He felt more and more that she had been wronged, and his face turned ugly: "I just said something in a hurry, so I can say this to you? What on earth are they saying? Who said it? "

Xu Shuhua lowered his head and leaned on his shoulder, still refusing to say: "No... don't think too much..."

At this time, Ms. Feng looked embarrassed and stood up sternly: "This...is my niece-in-law, right?"

Ms. Feng had just gotten emotional and couldn't control her temper, but now she realized she regretted it.Feng Shi scolded Xu Shuhua for taking advantage of her husband's family to return to her natal family to show off her power. However, whether she had this idea or not, it was different with her husband's support. Feng Shi could act like an elder in front of Xu Shuhua, but she could not do the same to Gu Yunji.

Gu Yunji protected Xu Shuhua in front of him as soon as he arrived. His face was not very good, and he seemed to want to support his wife.It happened that Mrs. Feng was a bully and fearful of her niece-in-law having an official position. Even if she was a little embarrassed, she had to lower her face to lighten the atmosphere.

Gu Yunji didn't appreciate it. He gave her a cold look and said with a smile: "Auntie, we have met in the front yard before. You don't have to pretend like it's the first time you see me."

"This junior is thinking that the whole family in this house are all Shuhua's relatives, and her arrival here should be just like going home. How come she was bullied like this less than half an hour after she came to the backyard? Please excuse me. Auntie, tell me, what happened just now?"

As soon as Gu Yunji opened his mouth, he launched an army to investigate, and Feng's face was almost lost.Moreover, he has been an official for many years, and has gradually accumulated authority. He is fine when he is amiable, but once his face turns cold, the fierce aura from his whole body is instantly exuded, making people shrink subconsciously, as if this is not the backyard of the Xu family, but a yamen. Court.

Feng's expression changed several times, but she still said shamelessly: "It's nothing...it's just that when it came to my granddaughter's marriage, I got a little anxious, so I didn't control my temper and yelled, maybe it scared Shuhua."

The coldness in Gu Yunji's eyes became even more intense, and he laughed sarcastically: "I didn't know that my wife, who is in her twenties, would act like a child and be frightened by her cousin? What's more, there are so many people in this room. There are so many people, why is it that my wife is so scared when everyone else is fine? Could it be that my cousin is targeting her intentionally?"

Gu Yunji spoke quickly and urgently, with a somewhat aggressive tone. Xu Shuhua was afraid that he would go too far, so he secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Yunji..."

Sensing his wife's intention to stop him, Gu Yunji also knew that it would be better to make things too tense. He took a deep breath and stopped talking.

Feng knew that today's incident could not just go away like this. Considering Gu Yunji's official position, it would be difficult for the Xu family in the future if there was a breakup, so she simply lowered her face and took the initiative to admit her mistake:
"... Of course, it's my fault today. My granddaughter's marriage didn't go well, and it got involved in foot binding. My original intention was to persuade Shuhua to bind his daughter's feet as soon as possible, so as not to end up like my granddaughter. But Shuhua didn't want to, I was anxious and worried, so I got angry and said something harsh, which might have misunderstood her." Although Feng's words were evasive and obscured the facts, as an elder, it is not easy for her to take the initiative to apologize, and Xu Shuhua and Xu Shuhua are juniors. , if you continue to hold on to it, what makes sense becomes unreasonable.

Xu Shuhua wanted to talk about the situation and reveal the matter, but Gu Yunji frowned and looked back at his wife, his eyes full of questions: "Foot binding? What's going on?"

Xu Shuhua was about to answer, but Feng was afraid that she would say something detrimental to her, so she said first, "I saw that Xi'er had not yet bound her feet at such an old age, so I asked a few more questions, which might have made Shuhua unhappy."

"Niece-in-law, you don't know that the customs are different now. Good families like to marry wives with small feet. Otherwise, no matter how good your family background and appearance are, as long as you have a pair of natural feet, no one will want it, and you will be left alone. Come down and let people pick and choose.”

"Didn't my granddaughter suffer like this? I thought, your daughter is young and has time to bind her feet early, so as not to be unable to marry in the future. Isn't this just for you? Who knows that Shuhua won't be happy? He even contradicted me verbally, which made me lose my temper, and then..."

Gu Yunji knows very well what kind of crap foot binding is.Feng seemed to be explaining, but in fact, he was criticizing Xu Shuhua both inside and outside his words to excuse himself.

Gu Yunji's anger that had just calmed down suddenly rose again. He was not in the mood to deal with Feng and interrupted her coldly:

"Auntie, there is no need to say more. I have been married to Shuhua for many years, and I naturally know that she is knowledgeable and courteous. She is born with a gentle and good temper. When she is wronged, she will only swallow it in her belly and never express it with her mouth. Today, if If it weren’t for me, I don’t know how she would be bullied.”

"As for foot binding, it's not convenient for Shuhua to talk about it. Let me tell you - it is really not a good thing. If you want to make your child disabled, I have no control over it, but our daughter will never have her feet bound. Please also Auntie, please don’t interfere with my family’s private affairs.”

Feng seemed to have never thought that he would be so ruthless, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she immediately began to curse:

"What are you talking about? What does it mean to make a child disabled? I reminded you with good intentions, but I reminded you wrong, right?! OK, OK, I don't care! It's up to your child to marry someone with his vulgar feet. stay home!"

Gu Yunji originally wanted to leave, but he was so aroused by these words that he stopped abruptly, turned around suddenly, and sneered: "What my cousin said is on point. If my natural foot will hinder the marriage, why don't my cousin give it to me first?" Wrap it up yourself?"

"You said that good people like wives with small feet. The younger generation thinks that the Xu family, as a large family in Shaoxing, is what you call a good family, but you have big feet. In my opinion, you should set an example and invite your uncle to come down. In this way, it can not only maintain the reputation of the Xu family but also show the dignity of the little feet, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

After that, Gu Yunji turned around and left with Xu Shuhua, regardless of Feng's reaction.
