"Master, this is a great joy! Master Suiyuan said it's a match made in heaven."
"Very well, the Gu family will surely come to deliver the betrothal gifts tomorrow..."
"It's not the Gu family. The one whose birth chart matches our Yu'er's isn't Gu Dalang. We'll talk to the master about it when we get home."
Upon hearing this, Master Mu looked displeased. Seeing that Chen Yu had not gotten out of the sedan chair for a long time, he pointed at Madam Mu and complained.
"You... insist on fortune telling. As long as it's what Yu'er likes, even if our birth charts don't match, I will do everything in my power to make it happen."
Although Master Mu had more than a dozen children, he doted on Chen Yu and would do everything he could to fulfill her wishes.
But... the emperor's brother-in-law is fond of male concubines and neglects his duties, and Liu Yu is notorious and despised by everyone. How could my father risk his life to support such a family?
Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't manage a forced smile. She could only squint her eyes and feign exhaustion as she got off the carriage. Cui Zhu and Cui Wei quickly stepped forward to help her.

Mr. and Mrs. Mu nodded and smiled awkwardly at their neighbors before hurrying back to their courtyard.
"Seventh Sister".
Everyone turned to look at the door. Gu Xiaoliu hurried over and bowed respectfully to Master Mu and Madam Mu. "Master Mu and Madam Mu, I apologize for disturbing you. Xiaoliu wants to have a word with Seventh Sister."
Shen Yu was uneasy. Last time at the Zuo family, Gu Xiaoliu and Liu Yao'er tricked her into breaking into Dongsu Pavilion and bumping into Prince Yan. If Liu Yu hadn't risked his life to save her, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
The two had a deep-seated grudge, and Gu Xiaoliu would not come to her unless there was an extremely urgent matter.
