Gu Yumei was completely panicked upon hearing Wan Lifang's words, and her mind was filled with the phrase "drown you in the pond."
She had escaped famine and seen numerous corpses along the way. Thus, she was terrified of death, truly terrified of becoming one among the countless bodies.
When Wan Lifang saw she was scared stiff, he immediately dragged her through the corner gate into the Wan Mansion, taking her directly to the main courtyard where Ms. Yan lived.
Gu Dafu could not find Wan Lifang in the room where Ni Ruiniang was staying, and was furious when Shuzi rushed over and whispered something to Scholar Wan, causing Scholar Wan's eyes to light up with joy, "Is it true? Is Gu Yumei really at Ms. Yan's place?"
Shuzi nodded, "Old Master, it's absolutely true. Learning that her father and uncle were coming to make trouble, Gu Yumei rushed over to see your wife, telling her she didn't mind being a junior wife and was willing to share a husband with Miss."
