Guan Wanxin's words were relatively tactful.
Liu Shuzhen's true identity was the top courtesan in Yanliu Lane.
She started working as a prostitute when she was thirteen or fourteen, until she met Zhang Dakai.
Liu Shuzhen was quite shrewd, and with her good looks, she managed to persuade Zhang Dakai to redeem her from servitude.
Over the years, Zhang Dakai and Liu Shuzhen have deliberately avoided mentioning that past event.
Among the Zhang family members, only Zhang Jiajun and Ye Xiangying knew Liu Shuzhen's true background.
Zhang Aili and Zhang Zhibo, as granddaughters and grandsons, always thought that their grandmother was intellectual and elegant, and must be a fallen noblewoman.
Now, the bloody truth has been torn open by Guan Wanxin, and the two of them stared at Liu Shuzhen with disbelief in their eyes.
When she came to her senses, Zhang Aili rushed to Liu Shuzhen and asked anxiously, "Grandma, is what she said true? So all these years, I've been targeted by my classmates at school, they've isolated me, and they won't play with me, is it because of this?"
Liu Shuzhen lowered her head, a fleeting glint of hatred in her eyes.
Ye Xiangying looked around, then quickly pulled her daughter away, whispering a scolding, "Shut up! This isn't the time to talk about this!"
Zhang Aili pursed her lips, seemingly unwilling to accept it.

Guan Wenru didn't care at all.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, she walked over to Guan Wanxin and said, "Grandma, that's about enough."
Guan Wanxin took her hand affectionately, ready to close the net.
Before she could say anything, a neighbor, an elderly woman, suddenly stepped forward.
This person is about the same age as Guan Wanxin.
She sighed deeply, adopting a kind and gentle demeanor, and said, "Wanxin, are you really going to kick them all out? Where are you going to send so many of them to live?"
Someone spoke up, and then someone else chimed in, "That's right, no matter what, Old Zhang is Yuanxiu's father. No matter how unpleasant things are between father and son, they are still connected by blood."
"Wanxin, you're not short of money or this house anyway. What's wrong with letting them live there? It won't cost you anything."
