Like herding chicks, Madam Gu shooed her son out of the house, intending to leave the father and daughter alone to talk. But as soon as she opened the door, she saw the Qin couple, who were about to knock.
The couple's expressions were quite different. Officer Qin looked ashamed, and a hint of panic and guilt flashed in his eyes when he saw the Gu family mother and son suddenly appear; Aunt Qin, on the other hand, was carrying a small box and had a big smile on her face, with no attempt to hide her joy.
The mother and son felt the glare and Gu Pingsheng reached out to pretend he hadn't seen them and was about to close the door when Constable Qin hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and called out loudly, "Nephew Pingsheng!"
Seeing that the other party had called him back, Gu Pingsheng didn't want to forcefully close the door, but he didn't welcome them in either. He just leaned against the door and looked at the two people outside. When Constable Qin saw that the Gu family mother and son were obviously already aware of Qin Yuxiu's arranged marriage and were in a fit of anger, he didn't dare to say much. He just lowered his voice and said, "We've come to see Yaoniang."
Gu Pingsheng didn't move. He opened his mouth to make a sarcastic remark, but his mother poked him in the ribs, so he shut up, but he didn't move aside.
Aunt Qin also sensed the awkward atmosphere, and the smile on her face faltered slightly. Seeing Madam Gu's movement, Constable Qin quickly asked her, "Would it be convenient for us to go in?"
Madam Gu looked at the Qin couple without saying a word, and seeing that the smiles on their faces were becoming increasingly strained, she finally gestured for Gu Pingsheng to make way.
Mr. Gu and Yao Niang had already heard the noise outside and were waiting at the entrance of the main room. The Qin couple could only see that the faces of the Gu family members were not very pleasant.
Gu Pingsheng saw that although Aunt Qin entered the house timidly, her eyes and brows couldn't hide her smile, and he felt a surge of annoyance. He simply turned his head away and refused to look.
When the Qin family members entered, Yao Niang greeted them and then stepped behind Madam Gu. She remained silent, only observing the Qin couple before her.
Aunt Qin was naturally very proud, and although she tried her best to hide it, even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes couldn't suppress her radiant joy. Qin the constable, on the other hand, looked much more somber and seemed to find it extremely difficult to speak. He had been sitting awkwardly in a chair since entering the room.
