Dabao and Lei Qianqian got married with her head covered, so she had never seen Gu Youyou, and Gu Youyou was also seeing her for the first time.

Lei Qianqian was quite attractive, her facial skin fair and pure, soft and delicate to the touch.

It was said she grew up in the town and had never done any rough work. Upon arriving at the Gu Family, she was even pampered by the Empress Dowager, naturally maintaining her soft and delicate skin.

"So this is Qianqian?" Gu Youyou asked with a smile.

Huang Xiangwen quickly said, "This is Youyou, your eldest sister, whom you haven’t yet met."

Upon hearing this, Lei Qianqian was startled and scrutinized Gu Youyou with an unfriendly gaze, "Is this the Gu Youyou who was taken away by a human trafficker? It’s been over a year, how has she returned?"

The smile on Gu Youyou’s face suddenly disappeared, the words "so this is Lei Qianqian who bore a bastard child" almost slipping out.

She stared directly at Lei Qianqian and said coldly, "Yes, and so I’m here to deliver that human trafficker to the Governor’s Office."

Ah...?

Huang Xiangwen and Lei Qianqian were both startled at the same time.

Especially Huang Xiangwen, who almost couldn’t stand steady.

They knew the truth about last year’s incident very clearly—the second Gu brother had liaised with the neighbouring village’s human trafficker Liu Dazhuang, Huang Xiangwen had drugged her, personally delivering her to the trafficker.

After Gu Wu’s affair was exposed, they shifted the blame to him, and with the second Gu brother becoming Gu Feng’s only son, and Youyou disappearing, the Gu Family had no victim to report them to the Governor’s Office, so the matter was left unresolved.

But what about now? Gu Youyou had returned, and she was the direct victim who knew precisely what had happened.

If this wretched girl really took the matter seriously, it would be the end for them.

Huang Xiangwen hurriedly forced an ugly smile and said, "It’s good that Youyou has returned. Please, come in and sit down; I’ll go call your second uncle and Dabao. They will be very happy to know you’ve returned."

Lei Qianqian, also aware of the origin of the affair, knew the consequences if the matter truly reached the Governor’s Office.

She immediately changed her expression, warmly saying to Gu Youyou, "So you are the eldest sister, ah. Please come in. Dabao often talks about you. You’ve finally returned safely. "

"Hmph..." Gu Youyou snorted coldly and entered the house.

The house had undergone quite the transformation. Huang Xiangwen and Gu Erbao had moved into the main house, while Dabao and Lei Qianqian lived in the eastern wing of the backyard, and Erbao and Sanya resided in the western wing.

The whole family living here, it was indeed spacious and comfortable.

However, it was rumored that the residence was earned back by Gu Youyou’s parents.

"Youyou, please have a seat here for a moment. Your second aunt will go call them back from the fields!"

Naturally, it was better to speak when everyone was assembled, and Gu Youyou hummed in response.

After Huang Xiangwen had left, only the two of them remained in the room.

Lei Qianqian, holding a child, seemed somewhat guilty.

But then she thought, the ones who committed the act were Huang Xiangwen and Gu Erbao.

Even if Gu Youyou exposed the matter, what if the two of them were thrown into prison?

Dabao was the heir of the Gu Family head, so wouldn’t all these things still belong to her?

Alas! It just meant that there would be no one to serve her.

Sanya was still too young. If only Gu Youyou had returned a few years later.

Gu Youyou took a sip of water, glanced over at Lei Qianqian with narrowed eyes, and suddenly said in a low voice with a chuckle, "I just saw you two get married last year, and to think the child is already so big."

Lei Qianqian was most sensitive to people remarking on how quickly her child arrived, and she almost shuddered instinctively.

She said, "Yes, it was quite fast, and the child was even born prematurely."

"Oh? How prematurely?" Gu Youyou asked nonchalantly.

"I gave birth at seven months, but fortunately, the child was healthy. When he was born, he was nearly the same as full-term babies."
