Chapter 871: Concubine Status

Gu Ya was both shocked and delighted; Young Master Zhan San indeed liked her very much, he couldn’t wait.

She spoke weakly, "Third Young Master, I am here to fulfill our poetry appointment."

Old Master Zhan San was taken aback, Third Young Master? This little girl was interested in Xiao San, not him.

However, Old Master Zhan San only hesitated for a moment before continuing... After all, she came to him on her own; if someone was to be held accountable, it would be Gu Rong, as it was Gu Rong who plotted against her.

Gu Ya thought this person was Young Master Zhan San and had wanted to turn a situation into success. Seeing the other party not stopping, she struggled a few times and ended up achieving what she wanted with him.

After Gu Rong led Gu Ya to Old Master Zhan San’s room, she listened outside the door for a while. When she heard everything was settled inside, she turned and knocked on Zhan San’s door.

"The door is not latched." Zhan San’s voice came from inside.

Gu Rong pushed open the door, closed it behind her, crossed the outer room, and directly entered the inner room, greeting Young Master Zhan San, "Sister Rong pays her respects to Third Young Master."

Zhan San saw her, laughed mockingly, and asked, "Why is it you? Shouldn’t it be your little cousin?"

On the day of seeking a matchmaking at the Old Gu Family, Gu Rong had glanced back at him with a meaningful look. But in recent days, she had been quite proper, so he thought she had given up. Unexpectedly, she was waiting for him here.

Gu Rong replied, "Little cousin couldn’t come."

Couldn’t come?

Why couldn’t she? Was it because you schemed against her?

Zhan San raised his eyebrows, surveying Gu Rong... Although she wasn’t as beautiful as Gu Ya, she was young and fresh, better than Little Sister Gu.

Nevertheless...

"You are so smart; you should know that with your family background, you can’t be my official wife, Zhan San’s."

Gu Rong said, "Sister Rong understands. Sister Rong doesn’t ask for the status of the official wife; all I seek is to become a concubine, to have a son or daughter in the future, as long as I have someone to rely on."

Gu Youfu was ruined, Gu Chengli was foolish and crippled, such fathers and brothers couldn’t help her at all, and Lord Lai didn’t favor her branch, so he wouldn’t help her plan a marriage. Compared to marrying into an ordinary family as an official wife, she would prefer to marry into noble families.

Men are unreliable; she wanted children to fight for inheritance in the future. When her son had a family and career, she could become Old Madam.

Zhan San admired Gu Rong after hearing that, thinking she was clever. Even if he brought her around, she wouldn’t bring him any trouble.

"Come here." Zhan San extended his hand to Gu Rong.

Gu Rong listened, walking towards him while unbuttoning her clothes, which surprised Zhan San.

He didn’t see it before; she was truly bold.

Gu Rong didn’t know whom she learned from, but Zhan San was very comfortable with her. However, as comfortable as he was tonight, the next day was as miserable.

Gu Dagu got up at dawn, anxious until the hour of the dragon, and then took Ms. Zheng, Mrs. Gu, Ms. Zhang, and the servants left by the Lai Family to the courtyard of the Zhan family’s uncle and nephew.

Why bring the Lai Family’s servants to such a disgraceful matter? It was to use the Lai Family’s servants to inform Lord Lai about it, so he would help Little Sister Gu marry into the Zhan Family.

Mrs. Gu frowned, asking Gu Dagu, "Sister-in-law, where are you taking us?"

Gu Dagu replied, "You’ll know when you get there."

Gu Dagu pretended to carry a breakfast box, striding confidently, soon leading everyone to the courtyard of the Zhan family’s uncle and nephew, directly to Young Master Zhan San’s room, and knocked on the door loudly, "Third Young Master, get up, I’ve brought breakfast for you."

However, when the door opened, Gu Dagu was shocked.

She stared at Gu Rong, weary-faced, blushing, wearing only an undergarment, and was stunned, pointing at her, "You, why are you here? Wasn’t your little cousin serving Young Master Zhan San last night?"

"What? Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Serving Young Master Zhan San? What is going on?" Ms. Zheng yelled in shock, continuously questioning.

Mrs. Gu glared angrily at Gu Rong with fiery eyes, this wretch, Young Master Zhan San should be her daughter, Sister Ya’s, she dared to snatch!

Ms. Zhang rushed over, grabbed Gu Rong, saying, "You wretched girl, what have you done? What should we do now?"

No longer pure, how can she marry into a good family?

Gu Rong laughed, "Mother, don’t worry; Young Master Zhan San will accept me as a concubine."

"What? Young Master Zhan San is taking you as his concubine? A concubine?" Ms. Zhang knew her branch was not favored, so she wasn’t very ambitious; as long as her daughter could marry into the Zhan Family, the role of wife or concubine didn’t matter.

Gu Rong nodded, saying, "Yes, mother. Your daughter will be a wife in the Zhan Family; let’s see if those blind can still look down on us."

After speaking, she scanned Gu Dagu and the others, finally settling her gaze on Mrs. Gu and smiled slightly at her.

Mrs. Gu was startled, asking, "Why are you looking at me that way?"

Gu Rong smiled without answering...

"Ah! How is it you? You old bastard, you ruined me, wuwuwu..." Gu Ya’s cries came from the side room, scaring Mrs. Gu to the point her face turned pale.

She pointed to Old Master Zhan San’s room and asked, "Ya, Sister Ya inside?"

Gu Rong nodded with a smile, "Yes, Cousin Ya made quite a commotion with Old Master Zhan San last night; even we in the room on this side heard it."

Then she added, "Aunt, Sister Rong congratulates you, on gaining a fine son-in-law."

"Wretch!" Mrs. Gu was furious. Gu Rong dared to scheme against Sister Ya like this, and Old Master Zhan San was fifty now; in a few more years, he could be Sister Ya’s grandfather.

Gu Rong was very pleased today, staring at Mrs. Gu, she uttered a heart-piercing word, "Not so vile as your daughter. You know well what kind of thing she is."

Mrs. Gu was frightened; Gu Rong knew, she actually knew. Wasn’t this matter supposed to be kept secret by her mother, only between the two of them?

Gu Rong laughed and pointed to the opposite room, "You better check on Cousin Ya."

Mrs. Gu heard and hurried to the opposite room.

Inside the room, Gu Ya was crying, wrapped in a quilt.

Mrs. Gu rushed over, hugged her, saying, "Sister Ya, don’t cry. Mother will plead with Lord Lai to stand up for you; he will make sure you get justice."

Old Master Zhan San laughed while dressing, saying, "Justice? Last night, it was your daughter who ran into my room. Besides, is your daughter some Golden Guiren? Just a used shoe nothing more."

He was initially happy to sleep with such a beautiful girl as Gu Ya, but to his surprise, she was worn and weathered, pretending with a maiden groomed hairstyle tricking him. Does he look like a naïve youth unaware of whether she’s still virgin?

Mrs. Gu was speechless.

Old Master Zhan San said generously, "Although Gu Ya is used and worn, I will be responsible. I’ll take her back to the Zhan Family and give her a concubine position."

Gu Ya wasn’t willing: "Get lost, I would rather die than become your concubine."

Her ideal match was Young Master Zhan San.

Mrs. Gu was anxious, considering that Gu Ya’s situation had already been discovered by Gu Rong, and now she was slept with by Old Master Zhan San, who else could she marry in the future?

She was about to persuade Gu Ya when Little Sister Gu’s angry voice was heard.

"Gu Rong, you wretched girl, you learned to snatch men at such a young age, I’ll kill you!"

Little Sister Gu woke, was confused for a moment, and after realizing she was plotted against by Gu Rong, rushed over, grabbed Gu Rong, and slapped her twice.
