As soon as he entered the house, Yu Wangfei felt a foul odor coming towards him, followed by a strong smell of medicinal herbs.

Then she saw Gu Baizhou leaning on the bed, staring at him with bloodshot eyes.

After smelling it carefully, Yu Wangfei found that the stench was coming from Gu Baizhou. She covered her nose in disgust.

"How dare you come here? It's all your fault. You're the one who hurt me. You have to compensate me for my legs!" Gu Baizhou shouted.

It was then that Yu Wangfei discovered that Gu Baizhou's legs were disabled. He was fine the last time she saw him. Could it be that she beat him too hard last time and broke his legs?

"Bitch, you still have the nerve to come here!" Lord Gu walked out from another room and cursed Yu Wangfei when he saw her.

The second uncle of the Gu family also took the opportunity to come over, but the second aunt was nowhere to be seen. Gu Baili felt a little embarrassed after seeing Yu Wangfei.

His target has always been the patriarch of the Gu family, but he never expected that the Gu family would fall to this point.

"The reason you have become what you are today is because of your crimes. What does it have to do with me?" Yu Wangfei sneered.

"Are you here to laugh at us?" Old Madam Gu walked to the main seat and sat down, leaning on her crutches.

This family was in chaos because of Yu Wangfei, and the people were neither human nor ghost. If it weren't for this farm, I'm afraid all of them would have died on the streets long ago.

"Yes, the old lady really knows me well." Yu Wangfei smiled and sat down opposite the old lady.

"You!" Lord Gu was so angry that he was about to attack Yu Wangfei, wanting to die together with Yu Wangfei.

Upon seeing this, Yunhua beat the man up.

It was already difficult for him to live, and now he would be laughed at if he left the farm. In order to avoid the ridicule of the court and the mockery of the people, he could only hide here all day long.

"I came here today to discuss business with you." Yu Wangfei smiled and took out two pieces of gold from his arms and put them on the table.

Seeing the gold, Gu Baizhou immediately became excited: "My gold, that is my gold, give me back my gold!"

"What do you want?" Madam Gu asked directly.

Neither of them paid any attention to Gu Baizhou who was roaring on the bed. Seeing this, Mrs. Gu immediately walked to the bedside to comfort Gu Baizhou.

"I want the title of Marquis Gu." Yu Wangfei smiled slightly and pretended to be innocent.

“Wishful thinking!” Lord Gu roared.

Although their family had fallen to this state, the emperor did not revoke his title of Marquis Cheng'en.

"You are not a member of our Gu family, why do you want it?" Old Madam Gu didn't understand.

The title of Marquis Cheng'en was bestowed by the late emperor and inherited by the male members of the Gu family.

But Yu Wangfei is not a member of the Gu family, so what is the use of her having this title?

"Why not let Lord Gu pass it to Gu Baili?" Yu Wangfei waved her hand.

Gu Baili was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Yun Hua with some surprise. He couldn't believe that Yu Wangfei came to speak for him today.

Yunhua couldn't even guess the purpose of Yu Wangfei doing this. Did she hope that when she married into the Gu family in the future, the Gu family would treat her better?

"What are your conditions?" asked Mrs. Gu.

"I can ensure that the bloodline of your Gu family continues. Otherwise, your Gu family will have no successor."

This is indeed particularly important to the old lady.

"I can give you the Yu family's house outside the city. That house is at least ten thousand times better than the one you live in now." Yu Wangfei looked at the old lady, "Of course, I will give you another three hundred taels of silver to live on. Do you think this deal is worthwhile?"

"You're not just trying to make Bai Li the Marquis of Cheng'en, are you?" Old Madam Gu narrowed her eyes and looked at Yu Wangfei meaningfully.

After all, she has lived for so long, so she has naturally seen a lot of twists and turns here, and she understands that there must be other conditions for Yu Wangfei to do this.

"The old lady is really smart. I want you to separate from Gu Baili. From now on, Gu Baili will have nothing to do with you. In other words, Marquis Cheng'en will have nothing to do with you from now on." Yu Wangfei looked at the old lady Gu firmly.

"You're dreaming!" Lord Gu said dissatisfiedly, but he was restrained by Yunhua and could not move at all.

The old lady closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

It was indeed a good condition for her, because the life they were living now was simply not a human life, and they had no money in their hands. It was considered good if they could eat half a steamed bun a day.

The title of Marquis Cheng'en is of no use to them. If Gu Baili were to be the Marquis Cheng'en, it would be considered as preserving the bloodline and reputation of the Gu family.

And she can also get some money and spend her old age peacefully.

"Okay, I promise you, I will let Marquis Gu report to the court." Old Madam Gu agreed.

"No, mother, you can't agree to her!" Lord Gu was dissatisfied.

But the old lady pretended not to hear anything and ignored it.

Yu Wangfei just sneered at this. The Gu family was indeed selfish. In order to live a better life, Old Madam Gu sold the main house of the Gu family.

After talking about business, Yu Wangfei stood up and prepared to leave. Yun Hua immediately let go of Lord Gu and followed him.

Seeing Yu Wangfei was about to leave, Lord Gu raised his foot and wanted to chase after her, but Old Madam Gu immediately blocked the door and stopped him.

Instead, Gu Baili chased out in confusion.

"Wait." Gu Baili ran to Yu Wangfei, regardless of whether it was raining or not, "Why do you want me to be the Marquis of Cheng'en?"

"If you want to marry Yunhua, do as I say, otherwise I will marry Yunhua to you." Yu Wangfei looked at him.

She did this just for Yunhua. If Gu Baili could sever his ties with the Gu family and still have some power in his hands, then Yunhua would not be bullied by the Gu family after marrying him, nor would she suffer with the Gu family outside the city.

"Okay." Gu Baili bowed to Yu Wangfei gratefully.

After returning to the Yu Mansion, Yu Wangfei ordered people to investigate what the Gu family had done these days. Why didn’t they see the second aunt just now? Was Gu Baizhou’s leg really injured last time?

After the servants reported, Yu Wangfei learned that Gu Baizhou's leg was broken because he owed the casino fifty taels of silver and had no money to pay it back, so the casino brought people to the farm and broke it.

As for the second aunt, she was strangled to death by Mrs. Gu on the third day after they moved into the farm, and her body was buried in the backyard.

After knowing the truth, Yu Wangfei sighed helplessly. It seemed that Gu Baizhou would not live long.

The stench she smelled just now now seemed to be the stench of decay. She thought that they must have used the wrong medicine, or no medicine at all, which led to the wound infection.

If he still doesn't get treatment, he will probably die.

But what does Gu Baizhou’s life and death have to do with Yu Wangfei?

During dinner, Yunhua reminded Yu Wangfei that Chu Yuheng’s birthday would be in a few days.

So the next day Yu Wangfei planned to go out and buy some gifts to give Chu Yuheng a surprise.
