Chapter 510: Shut Up!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The onlookers wore expressions of mild astonishment as they witnessed Consort Shus pitiful state and burst into laughter.
Many people followed suit and started throwing things at her.
Some individuals picked up whatever they could find on themselves to use as projectiles.
Some people, unwilling to part with their belongings, picked up stones and twigs from the ground instead.
That wicked woman, shut your mouth!bender
Before Consort Shu could even get up, she was hit by a barrage of objects, and her cries of distress continued.
If it werent for the quick actions of Shuntian Preferences people in escorting her away, she might have been stoned to death by the indignant crowd.
The young man and the carter were also taken away by Shuntian Preference.
Gu Qingluan had promised to help the carter find his family later, and she would not go back on her word. She instructed Su Lie to send someone to assist.
Consort Shu, being just a concubine, had turned into an outcast after becoming a wanted fugitive. Her only option was to remain in hiding, and there was no one to lend her a helping hand.
Now that she had been apprehended, it wouldnt be hard to track down where she had been hiding all this time.
After the mastermind behind it all was taken away, the people at the scene continued to discuss.
Today, they had originally come for the porridge and medical consultations provided by the Jun Residence. Who could have predicted that so much would happen? It was like watching one dramatic scene after another.
Gu Qingluan looked at the sky, which indicated that it was already past mealtime, and after all the commotion, everyone was tired. She decided to give one or two silver coins to each of the needy people.
Regardless of the circumstances, the suffering endured by these people today was all because of her, and giving them a small compensation of one or two silver coins was not too much.
For these impoverished individuals, one or two silver coins were like a windfall, and it was a substantial amount!
This We are truly ashamed! Some people with thin skin said awkwardly.
They had quarreled and scolded the people from the Jun Residence just moments ago, and they didnt expect that the Guardian Princess wouldnt hold it against them. Instead, she gave them money.
Take it. Today, youve all been through a lot of trouble. Many people had diarrhea, which indeed was a shortcoming on our part. Tomorrow, we will reopen the porridge and medical consultation stalls. Youre welcome to come if you wish, and theres no pressure if you dont.
Guardian Princess, you are truly benevolent! From now on, this old man will never doubt you again!
An elderly man bowed to Gu Qingluan in a slow and deliberate manner.
Receiving one or two silver coins was significant to him. He took them with a sense of shame, bowed to Gu Qingluan once more, and then left.
Everyone, for the sake of a meal, was willing to put aside their pride and accept the silver coins they were given.
Every person who received the silver coins would bow and express their gratitude to Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan didnt really think she had done anything particularly great. Even though there were hundreds of people present, the amount spent was only a few hundred silver coins, which was negligible to her. She didnt need these people to thank her so profusely.
To avoid being thanked with such gestures, Gu Qingluan gave a few instructions to Su Lie and Bo He and then took her son back to the residence.
The people distributing money, those receiving it, and the curious onlookers continued their activities.
Tang Shijun, who had been filled with doubts about the bombshell news that Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan had dropped earlier, now saw that the trouble was resolved. She quickly followed them inside to dispel his lingering doubts.
Qingluan, are you and Feng Tianlan really engaged?
Gu Qingluan replied, Lets eat first. Are you not hungry?
It was already past lunchtime, but they still needed to fill their stomachs.
Qianxi went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes, and the group gathered in the dining room.
Tang Shijuns eyes darted around, curiously examining Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan.
Gu Qingluan didnt say anything and instead focused on pouring tea.
After all the talking outside, her throat was dry.
Feng Tianlan, seeing her remain silent, furrowed his brows slightly.
Was she regretting it now?
Or perhaps, was her earlier statement just a temporary measure? Did she have no intention of acknowledging it?
Only a child wouldnt keep such matters in their heart.
Gu Xiaonan got straight to the point, Mother, when did you get engaged to him?
