This torture lasted until their Zhou Mansion planned to move his entire family to the Xuanhe Prefecture.
Gu Dafeng and her husband naturally came along.
When they first arrived at Xuanhe Prefecture, Gu Qiuyue was still unwilling to let them off. However, not long after, Gu Qiuyue suddenly stopped. Although she was still secretly humiliating them, she was no longer so brazen.
Gu Dafeng found it strange. Later, she heard that it was because Old Master had brought Mrs. Zhou back.
Mrs. Zhou was very dissatisfied with Zhou Dafu’s concubine. Furthermore, she quarreled with Zhou Dafu and left the Zhou Mansion to return to her maternal family in Yongning Prefecture.
Mrs. Zhou felt that Zhou Dafu was so unscrupulous because he saw that Yongning Prefecture had suffered a disaster and felt that her maternal family had also suffered heavy losses and could not be her backer. He actually said in front of her that he wanted to take a widow who had given birth to a child as a concubine.
In a fit of anger, she went home to find someone to support her. Fortunately, although her family had suffered some losses, not everyone could bully them.
After her family recovered, they sent someone to settle scores with Zhou Dafu.
Only then did Zhou Dafu bring his son to Yongning Prefecture to fetch Mrs. Zhou.
Gu Yundong could not help but think about it. The last time they had met Zhou Dafu and his son was on the way back from Yongning Prefecture. Could it be that they had gone to fetch Mrs. Zhou?
After Mrs. Zhou returned, in order to show his respect for her family, although Zhou Dafu did not chase Gu Qiuyue away, he neglected her for a long time.
During that period of time, Gu Qiuyue shrunk like a quail and did not dare to cause trouble at all.
She was even called to the front by Mrs. Zhou and mocked. She often stayed in Mrs. Zhou’s courtyard to serve her and was tortured by Mrs. Zhou.
Gu Dafeng and her husband finally had a chance to catch their breath and recuperate in the backyard. Even though Gu Qiuyue did not let them have an easy time after suffering at Mrs. Zhou’s side.
However, with Mrs. Zhou in the Zhou Mansion, she did not dare to be too obvious.
However, not long after, Gu Qiuyue mysteriously told them to stay in the backyard and not go anywhere. She also told them not to see anyone and even locked up their room.
Even she rarely met them. Only Mrs. Ren interacted with them.
Although Gu Dafeng found it strange, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief when Gu Qiuyue stopped torturing them.
However, Gu Qiuyue often starved them and only gave them porridge a day to barely fill their stomachs.
Gu Dafeng and her husband were locked up in the backyard like prisoners.
However, the two still had hope. They still wanted to leave this place. Bian Han used to be a carpenter and knew how to carve gadgets.
Gu Dafeng stayed in the backyard for a while and got someone to bring back some wood that others did not want, as well as two carving knives.
Mrs. Ren did see it, but she saw that Bian Han’s carving was quite good-looking. Anyway, as long as they did not cause trouble, it was fine to carve some things.
Mrs. Ren even took Father Bian’s carvings to sell. Although the price was not high, she still earned some extra income.
Because of this, Mrs. Ren turned a blind eye and even helped to persuade Gu Qiuyue when she found out. That was why she didn’t let Gu Qiuyue take their things away.
However, what Mrs. Ren did gave Gu Dafeng some inspiration.
If she could sell them, could she do the same?
Although they were said to be Gu Qiuyue’s servants, they were different from ordinary servants. They did not have any monthly allowance. Gu Qiuyue said that she had already paid their monthly allowance for Bian Han’s treatment in advance, so they had done the work for nothing.
