She always relied on her superior family background and the influence of her uncle's family, thinking that as long as Lu Shiyan wasn't stupid, he would know to choose her.
Only by choosing her can he gain more support.
But now Lu Shiyan told her that he had already sent a letter to his uncle's family. However, his uncle's family did not react as she expected, and did not immediately send someone to pick them up.
Her uncle's family didn't even care about the lives of her and her daughters, so how could they become her helpers?
This realization made her panic.
She forced herself to remain calm. "Brother Lu, what's the situation outside? Is it my uncle..." She wanted to say that he was in trouble but hadn't had time to say it, but she felt that if she said that, Lu Shiyan would look down on her even more.
She gritted her teeth and explained anxiously, "My uncle used to dote on me. My mother was his most valued sister. When my mother got married, in addition to her dowry, my maternal grandfather also gave her the property in Jiangzhou. Although my uncle managed it, he would send someone to deliver the crafts every year. He wouldn't abandon us."
Lu Shiyan didn't care about what the Cui family did to him and his mother. He said indifferently, "Miss Guo, you don't need to tell me these things."
He just saw that she looked like she was about to cry, and assumed that she was waiting for news from her uncle's family.
Thinking that Miss Guo was discussing marriage with Old Man Jiang, and that the two families would be considered relatives in the future, he only informed her of the situation.
Lu Shiyan used to focus solely on cultivation and paid no attention to matters of love. He only came to this world because Jiang Tangtang was the original owner's wife, and her mere tears could cause him heartache.
Because of various entanglements, he paid more attention to Jiang Tangtang and was more tolerant of her.
As for the other women, he didn't pay any attention to them at all.
Of course, she was even more unaware that because he had promised to help her deliver a letter to her uncle, Guo Xuantong had developed many improper thoughts.
After saying that, he realized that Guo Xuantong's way of addressing him was really inappropriate, and reminded her again: "I don't have a younger sister, and besides, calling her that messes up the generational order."
If Guo Er Guniang marries Jiang Laowu, then he will have to call her Fifth Sister-in-law, just like Jiang Tangtang. Guo Xuantong shouldn't be calling him brother at all.
Guo Xuantong, however, felt that Lu Shiyan was telling her this because the Cui family didn't value them and thought she was no longer of any use. She was also deceived by Jiang Tangtang's lies and subsequently abandoned her previous plans.
With red eyes, she looked stubbornly at Lu Shiyan and said, "Brother Lu, do you really believe that the magic rope in the mountain was built by Jiang Gu at the behest of the gods?"
Lu Shiyan's face instantly turned cold.
Even if he was slow to understand romantic feelings and didn't immediately realize Guo Xuantong's intentions towards him, he could still sense the unease in her words.
He said calmly, "What do you want to say?"
Guo Xuantong was currently filled with nervousness, her mind focused on how to convince Lu Shiyan of her words, and she did not notice the indifference in Lu Shiyan's eyes.
She bit her lip and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something..."
Guo Xuantong talked about her father's concubine. In order to make her father believe that she had a lucky fate for her husband, she found a Taoist priest to talk nonsense. Her father almost believed the Taoist priest's words and divorced her mother.
She said she didn't say a single bad word about Jiang Tangtang, but every sentence implied that Jiang Tangtang was lying. Lying to the villagers, lying to him!
Lu Shiyan hadn't considered that possibility before and hadn't noticed Guo Xuantong's little scheme. But if he still couldn't see it now, he was just being silly.
