Following detailed revelations from the parties involved and those in the know, the surrounding area was in an uproar.
"My goodness! Gu Qiulin looks kind and gentle, but I never expected her to be even more despicable than the second wife. It turns out she's hiding an even bigger conspiracy!"
"I understand now. It was the collateral branch of the family who did this. They weren't the biological parents, so they colluded and didn't care about the old couple's life or death!"
"The Du family has made a fool of themselves. They specially invited Shi Zhenxiang to help them, but Shi Zhenxiang herself is in trouble. Instead, her secret background has been exposed. Shi Zhenxiang will not come to support them, but to kick them when they are down and add to the Du family's sins."
"Exactly! The Gu siblings weren't this angry at first, but now they're furious. Gu Qiulin is a real jerk. Even if she's not their biological daughter, she's been their niece for over ten years, getting her money just fine, and then she turns around and bullies her niece who was kidnapped, beating her until she lost her memory. Luckily, Gu Wanwan is strong enough to stand up for herself, otherwise I would feel so bad for her!"
"She's more than just able to stand up; she's practically the strongest woman on Earth in history. Just capturing enemy agents and defusing bombs is something no ordinary person can do. She's fearless of powerful figures and doesn't rely on her family. She single-handedly took down dozens of villains and enemy agents. She's incredibly strong; even men would have to admit defeat. No wonder the Du family's supposedly superb bodyguards couldn't withstand a single brick from her."
"With such a distinguished record of war, it would be difficult for the Gu couple not to be exonerated. So the brick that Gu Qingqing had last time was a brick of righteous merit for hitting the enemy agents and villains. It's as if they wanted to worship it. If it were my family, it would be treated like a god."
"..."
Shi Zhenxiang deeply regretted it. Her daughter, Fuxing, had reminded her to keep a low profile. But after being praised by the Du family, she couldn't help but get carried away. The consequence of this was that she pushed the second branch of the family into the eye of the storm.
The power of rumors is terrifying. In the past, they would have definitely been able to suppress them. But since the targets are the Gu siblings, who are enemies, and the Sheng siblings, it is already very difficult to cover up the truth!
She is now extremely worried that the He family might listen to those rumors and thus look down on their second branch of the family and reject He Wenyan's marriage to her daughter.
Why must it be He Wenyan? The He family isn't even one of the five lower-ranking families, and even He's father's position was promoted by Old Master Gu.
It was only because her daughter had mentioned that she was a woman destined for good fortune, while He Wenyan was a man destined for good fortune. Only if the two of them were to unite could they lead their family to the top.
At first, she didn't really believe in the concept of good fortune, but later she found that He Wenyan was indeed as her daughter said, successful in everything he did, and he had his own aura that attracted women to go crazy for him!
The more the Du family listened, the more solemn their expressions became. It turned out that they had invited an adopted son's wife to make a fool of themselves.
Shi Zhenxiang was more of a hindrance than a help.
Battalion Commander Du was numb; no one knew what fate awaited him.
"You wicked daughter, I'll ask you one last time: are you going to marry Pei Guangzong or not? If you don't, I'll announce right now that the Du family has no daughter like you, and you can go to the countryside."
