After she mentioned it, everyone's eyes fell on Shi Zhenxiang.

The Du family suddenly realized that they still had one last trump card: Shi Zhenxiang was, after all, an elder of the Gu siblings. If she could smooth things over, the Gu siblings would surely listen to her.

After all, Gu Qiulin and Gu Huaien are now in charge of the Gu family. Even if the Gu siblings return to the Gu family, they still have to consider Shi Zhenxiang's attitude.

Shi Zhenxiang, trying to keep a low profile, cursed the Du family ancestors in her heart. The Gu siblings were clearly up to no good. They had mistreated Gu Wanwan and her brother so badly before, and the brat had been looking for a chance to take revenge for a long time.

Furthermore, now that the two old folks have been exonerated, they will inevitably punish their second wife when they return.

Madam Du looked at Shi Zhenxiang as if she were a savior. "Madam Gu, you are now in charge of the Gu family. Please talk to the Gu siblings and ask them to be lenient!"

Du Lixue felt there was a chance, and her arrogant tail swelled up again. "The real Crown Prince and Princess should be Madam Gu's children. You can only be considered as a collateral branch. Even if Old Master Gu is exonerated, so what? They are all blood relatives. The second branch is also his own son. Old Master Gu can remove his own son's family position."

The more Madam Du listened, the more advantageous it seemed, and her confidence instantly soared, as if with Shi Zhenxiang in charge, the Du family could turn the tide.

Little did they know that the Gu siblings, Fu Jingchen, Sheng Chuxuan, and Sheng Qing burst into laughter upon hearing this, their laughter filled with extreme sarcasm.

Gu Wanwan slowly walked up to Shi Zhenxiang and said, "Shi Zhenxiang, you tell me yourself, do you dare to interfere with us?"

Shi Zhenxiang was about to put on airs as an elder, but she was intimidated by the girl's imposing aura. "Gu Wanwan, I am your second aunt, your elder. How dare you talk back to your elder? Now, my second branch of the Gu family is in charge, and we will not allow you siblings to act recklessly."

Gu Wanwan sneered and confronted Shi Zhenxiang directly, "Who do you think you are, second aunt? I haven't even settled accounts with your second branch and Gu Qiulin yet, and you've already come to my door. I've always remembered everything you did to my grandparents and my siblings, and I will definitely repay you. Did you think you could rest easy after severing ties with the Jian family and framing my grandparents?"

"You think you can secure your position as the head of the Gu family by getting rid of Grandpa and Grandma? Look at the other five great families, who would even look at you heartless ingrates? Who takes you seriously? You're all empty shells, all talk and no action!"

"Only idiots would praise you. Once Grandpa and Grandma return to Beijing, your good days will be over."

"You've gotten too big for your britches and think you're invincible. You've abused my siblings, and you expect my grandparents to let you off the hook? Your second branch and Gu Qiulin's house have been emptied out, you're completely broke. What makes you think you can talk back to me? You say your daughter is a lucky star, but she's a jinx. What have you gained since your second branch took power? Your son is still a good-for-nothing, and your family is still a bloodsucker."

"As for your lucky star Gu Yarou, she doesn't seem to have any good fortune. She had all her money stolen within a few days of arriving in the countryside. Naturally, she seized other people's property, causing losses to the villagers. In order to compete with me, she promised to lead the villagers to get rich and opened a pickling workshop. She recklessly transported a large number of pickled vegetables to Beijing, which was rejected by the factory. In the end, she had to close the pickling workshop, which directly led to the villagers' collective experiment. All her promises were bullshit. Your daughter is already infamous in Xiangyang Village!"
