Chapter 39: Trying to Steal a Chicken only to Lose the Rice

```

Intent on tattling only to have it backfire, Third Uncle Gu Wu barely suppressed his laughter, but then he choked on a mouthful of thin porridge and used the excuse of needing to urinate to make his escape.

Third Auntie also had eaten her fill and feigned the need to feed the livestock in the backyard to make her getaway.

Gu Ren, the three treasures, along with Erya Gu Xiaoqing, and Sanya Gu Xiaomei gazed on eagerly, but they didn't quite dare to look at Gu Youyou.

Second Uncle and Second Auntie were naturally rendered speechless from choking, and had Gu Feng not been there, Huang Xiangwen would likely have leapt up to give Gu Youyou a thorough scolding.

Gu Feng, somewhat confused by their behavior, asked Huang Xiangwen, "Is it true, as Youyou and Zijin said?"

"I..." Huang Xiangwen's mind raced, realizing that if the Wang Family did indeed come to discuss reparations for the gate, the matter could no longer be concealed. Reluctantly, she had to swallow the bitter pill.
