Yun Liu’s heart skipped a beat and thought, ‘Ifshe wants to marry better than

Lin Yu, then she can only marry Shi Nian. Lin Yu was right.’

“It’s good that you have such ambitions, Gu Man. We’ll all naturally benefit if you marry well. Do you currently have someone in mind?” Yun Liu probed.

Gu Man gave her a vicious smile. “The Shi family’s young masters are both giants among men, so marrying into the Shi family is the best choice, of course. ”

Yun Liu didn’t bat an eyelid and smiled meaningfully at Gu Man. “The Xi family and the Shi family have close ties. It won’t be easy for you to marry into the Shi family if Lin Yu has it out for you. I would choose a different target if I were you, Gu Man. Marrying better than Lin Yu doesn’t mean you have to marry into the Shi family, right? All roads lead to Rome, so choose carefully, Gu Man.

Don’t let Lin Yu ruin things for you again.”

Gu Man pondered her words deeply, evidently having taken Yun Liu’s words to heart. However, Gu Man wasn’t willing to admit defeat before Yun Liu, so she said sourly, “You’re indeed amazing, little cousin. You’ve only returned to the Gu family for a short time and already have your finger in every pie. And now, even Lin Yu favors you. Hmph!”

Yun Liu knew she’d never be on the same page with someone like Gu Man, so she discourteously retorted, “What are you saying, Gu Man? We’re just striving for some benefits of our own. But we’re all members of the Gu family, so we have to work together against outsiders!” And with that, Yun Liu left.

Yun Liu and Zheng Xiu shared information after they returned home. Zheng Xiu frowned. “On the surface, it seems Chang Hui’s side of the family is tense because of Gu Man’s matter. Chang Hui is angry at having offended the Xi family and wants to find a chance to apologize. But I get the feeling that something more serious has happened.”

“What do you think it could be?” Yun Liu asked. Currents run deep in the Gu family. She had no one else to rely on other than Zheng Xiu.

Zheng Xiu replied, “Your Aunt Chang Hui had used countless women to seduce Gu Fei to destroy him, but none had succeeded. However, I have a vague feeling that someone did successfully get close to Gu Fei, but your Aunt Bai Jie isn’t someone to trifle with, and her daughters are also very shrewd. I’m afraid they would be quickly removed even if they succeeded.”

Yun Liu thought of Yun Nan and Shi Nian’s ‘car accident’ and expressed deep doubts about Chang Hui’s ability to get things done. “It’s fine as long as it has nothing to do with us,” she said.

Zheng Xiu looked reflective as she nodded before she collected herself and uttered, “The most important thing for us now is to keep a close eye on Gu He. We can’t let your two aunts ruin him. That, and your marriage—if things go smoothly between you and Young Master Liang, then it’ll really be a blessing for the Gu family! Dear child, if you need any support, all you need is to ask.”

Yun Liu nodded shyly. “Should I meet with Madam Liang?” Zheng Xiu inquired.

Yun Liu frowned. “Will Aunt Chang Hui make things difficult for you if she finds out?”

Zheng Xiu immediately understood that Yun Liu’s worried about her; her daughter didn’t want to risk her as she needed her to back her up. Zheng Xiu couldn’t help but feel even happier, thinking, ‘ This daughter ofmine is so considerate.’ She patted Yun Liu’s hand and said, “Don’t worry; I know what to do. I will ensure you can borrow the Gu family’s power when you need it, but I won’t let the Gu family’s troubles affect you.”

Yun Liu happily nodded and hugged Zheng Xiu. Benefits were the first priority, even between family and kin. You would be doted on only when you were useful—Yun Liu understood this very well.

Just as Zheng Xiu had analyzed, Chang Hui and Bai Jie were currently worried about the same person—the woman who got knocked up by Gu Fei, Du Juan.

Bai Jie ordered her daughters, “I don’t care what method you use; we must find her. We’ll no longer be able to silence the public opinions that have finally calmed down if she goes out there and blabs! We finally have an in with Lin Yu and made some progress with this future Young Madam Xi. We can’t let Du Juan ruin things! If it’s impossible to bring her back, then I don’t care if she lives or dies! Do what you must!”

“Mom!” Gu Rou exclaimed, shocked. “She’s pregnant with Gu Fei’s child!”

Bai Jie glared at her. “So what? It’s not like Gu Fei can’t have more children in the future. Do you want your brother’s life ruined for a child whose gender is unknown? This is all your fault. You can’t even keep an eye on a pregnant woman! Why are you all still standing here? Find her! Figure it out yourselves! I have a headache, so don’t come to discuss this with me again. I only want results!”

Her daughters didn’t dare speak and quietly walked out. Bai Jie leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh. Such days were the norm in her entire life. She’d racked her brains for her husband when she was young, and now she had to worry about her son. ‘A woman’s life is truly a tribulation,’ she thought..
