Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Madam Yu opened her mouth, then closed it again, and gave a slight smile: "Let's go inside."

Seeing this, the Feng and Song families said they would talk to Gu Sanlang another day and then left the Gu family's conversation.

He Qingyu sat on the edge with Madam Gu. Madam Yu thought she had seen a lot in her life, but she was not used to telling Gu Sanlang that his wife was not his wife.

I still can't bring myself to speak.

Fortunately, He Qingyu resolved her concerns herself.

Gu Pingsheng stood in front of He Qingyu with a slight sense of guilt, wanting to say something to her, but he met He Qingyu's clear and unfamiliar eyes.

He paused for a moment and then asked, "Are you alright?"

He Qingyu was taken aback, not expecting Gu Pingsheng to speak to her first. She said directly, "I left the Gu family some time ago and now I work for Madam Zhao."

"My household registration is for women."

Gu Pingsheng looked at He Qingyu with disbelief and embarrassment, but He Qingyu remained calm, as if she felt no guilt towards him, the person involved.

It was Madam Yu who interrupted Gu Pingsheng's gaze and beckoned him over.

"What happened?"

Zhao Qi watched as her father looked at Gu Pingsheng and shed tears, then asked He Qingyu.

He Qingyu quickly told her master about Gu Pingsheng's rescue by the steward and Gu family's former subordinates.

She also reminded Zhao Qi to be careful, as Gu Sanlang seemed to have some luck; according to the stories she had read, he might be a male protagonist.

She even said she might be a cannon fodder ex-wife, the kind who gets proven wrong.

After all, she wouldn't even accept the three-year mourning period for the male lead.

Zhao Qi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled at He Qingyu, thinking to himself: You're right, he's the male lead, but you're not cannon fodder, you're the female lead.

However, there's no need for He Qingyu to know about this.

She glanced at Gu Sanlang; he was such a handsome man, but now his face was haggard, which only added to his pitiful fragility.

Zhao Qi stood by her: "Qingyu, I'm on your side, and I won't let you be embarrassed."

"You will be a leading lady."

He Qingyu smiled and said, "Yes." She would be the protagonist of her own life.

Zhao Yifeng was trying to persuade Gu Sanlang to stay at the estate and keep Madam Yu company, but then he remembered that the estate had already been given to his daughter.

He looked at Zhao Qi.

He Qingyu poked the little master who was casting a spell of loyalty on her.

Zhao Qi understood his father's meaning and readily nodded, "Brother Gu, please stay here."

"Mrs. Yu misses you very much."

As for whether it was the eldest or second young mistress of the Gu family, their expressions were always unpleasant, but they were just putting on a brave face because their family was there.

Gu Sanlang thanked him very politely.

Wen Zheng could also tell that the Gu family had family matters to attend to, so he left with Zhao Qi, Zhao Yifeng, and He Qingyu.

On the way, He Qingyu could finally say what she had been too embarrassed to say in front of others inside the house.

It turns out that Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu believed that the housekeeper delayed saving them, which led to the death of their child.

"Gu Pingsheng took the blame upon himself, but the others weren't fools either. Gu's sister-in-law only said one sentence."

"Why can't we split people in two? One group can stay with Gu Sanlang, and the other group can go and rescue them and the children."

He Qingyu sighed, "Madam Yu was too embarrassed to speak."

It's hard to say.

Zhao Yifeng was also stunned; he hadn't expected this. "What did Sanlang say?"

"He only said that he had wronged his eldest and second sisters-in-law."

Zhao Qi raised an eyebrow; Gu Sanlang wanted to protect the housekeeper.

The idea is correct, but it shouldn't be said at this time.

"If you were Gu Sanlang, what would you do?" The three of them had already returned to their residence, and Wen Zheng asked his daughter.

Zhao Qi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, coughed, and said, "Take down the steward, beat him in front of my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and make him faint after he bleeds."

"I bowed again and told the steward that everything was for the purpose of avenging my father, elder brother, and second elder brother."

His nephews are too young; he is the only suitable person.

"I promise to avenge my elder brothers and nephews, and I will also help raise the remaining children."

This includes not only basic necessities like eating, drinking, and relieving oneself, but also one's future education.

Now that things have come to this point, the resentment of Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu should come to an end, at least on the surface.

As for the housekeeper, if she's good, how could he not be good too!

Zhao Yifeng looked at his child with admiration: "Sanlang is still young." He thought about taking the punishment in place of the steward to satisfy his sisters-in-law and ensure the steward's safety.

But who would dare to actually punish him?

Madam Yu is not just for show.

The resentment between Gu's two daughters-in-law will not be resolved now, but it will carry over into the future, and there will inevitably be more quarrels in the Gu family.

Zhao Qi shook his head: "There is another possibility. If Gu Sanlang leads people to rescue the Gu family, then Gu Sanlang's wish to protect the steward can still be fulfilled."

She saved the Gu family.

Now that the two young mistresses of the Gu family are doing her work, she is someone who wants to rebel and become king.

The two young mistresses can earn their own futures, and Gu Sanlang's value is not enough to suppress their resentment.

Wen Zheng: "I never imagined that we would also be part of the Gu family's quarrel."

Zhao Yifeng also looked at his daughter: "Unexpectedly, the biggest winner is Aqi."

Gu Sanlang arrived late; Madam Yu had already given him some of her connections, which was essentially a gift to Aqi.

This is also why the two young mistresses of the Gu family feel at ease working with them. Whether it's because they are old friends or because of the value given by Madam Yu, the two of them will not be bad off in the future.

Zhao Qi chuckled and pointed to herself with her thumb: "I'm the luckiest."

Gu Sanlang could only be her subordinate.

As the sun set, Zhao Yifeng specially hosted a banquet to celebrate Gu Pingsheng's passing, and also invited the Song and Feng families to join him.

At the banquet.

Zhao Yifeng sat in the main seat, Wen Zheng sat beside him, Zhao Qi sat next to him, and Ning Pu and Zhao Buqi, who had come from the manor, sat behind him.

The Gu family, the Song family, and the Feng family all sat below.

Gu Pingsheng raised his glass to toast everyone who had helped the Gu family, but then a series of arguments came from outside.

Zhao Qi had good hearing and heard what sounded like a fight breaking out.

A moment later, Zhao Yifeng and Gu Pingsheng heard the same thing and both looked towards the door.

The servants brought Zhao Yan in.

When Zhao Yan saw his parents and his younger sister, he waved his arm, but the servants held him still.

Upon seeing her elder brother, Zhao Qi, sitting upright in her seat, waved her hand, and the attendants immediately released Zhao Yan.

This scene was witnessed by many of the guests, including Gu Pingsheng.

After being released, Zhao Yan staggered to Gu Pingsheng's side, hugged him, and said with tears in her eyes, "It's good that you're still alive."

Gu Pingsheng's eyes also reddened.

"I never imagined that we would meet again today after so long apart. I'm fine, A-Yan, how are you?"

Zhao Yan: "I...okay."
