Gu Xin listened with a sigh.
She had taken Madam Li's pulse while she was crying and asleep. Her pulse was normal. It's also possible that Gu Xin's medical skills were not up to par and she couldn't diagnose the problem.
Hearing Li Shan say this, she felt that it was quite good for Madam Li to be like this.
She doesn't deliberately think about those things. She believes that her parents and son are still alive, just not by her side. This is a comfort to her, much better than knowing that the most important people in her life have committed crimes and been killed.
Gu Xin suggested that Miss Li hire a few skilled women to take care of Madam Li, so that there wouldn't be a situation where she fainted alone and couldn't be found.
Miss Li smiled bitterly. It wasn't that easy. In ordinary households, maids with martial arts skills were trained from a young age. Her family was just a merchant family, and they had neither the opportunity nor the ability to obtain such a person.
Male guards could be found, but in Miss Li's mind, her aunt couldn't have several men by her side, as it would affect her aunt's reputation.
Gu Xin understood the key point and promised Miss Li that she would help look for it and send someone to the Li family as soon as she found it.
Miss Li was naturally extremely grateful.
After talking about Madam Li, Gu Xin asked about the situation of the second and third daughters of the Li family.
The second daughter of the Li family had already married before. The third daughter of the Li family also got married after observing a year of mourning for the old lady of the Li family. The old lady of the Li family passed away less than a year after Li Muyan went to the capital.
Miss Li briefly described herself, saying that she planned to find a son-in-law to live with her family, have a son, raise him well, and have him inherit the Li family business in the future.
She's already twenty-five, not young anymore. There are men who want to marry into her family, but she doesn't like any of them.
Gu Xin admired Miss Li for managing the Li family's various businesses so well on her own. After Madam Li's background was exposed, everyone fawned over her. After the Rongguo Duke's mansion was raided, others would have definitely taken advantage of her misfortune, but Miss Li was able to stand firm, which was truly admirable.
Miss Li disagreed and said with a smile, "The Li family's foundation was built by my grandmother and aunt. I can't hand it over to others, and I can't let this family business be ruined in my hands. We've gotten through the hardest and most tiring year, and I believe things will get better and better in the future."
“Yes, definitely.” Gu Xin nodded. “However, Miss Li, you don’t necessarily need to find a son-in-law to live with you. You can find someone you love and discuss with him that the children you have can take your surname. If you truly love each other, he will definitely agree.”
Miss Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, thank you for your kind words, Miss Gu. I have also considered this. I hope that day will come soon."
Gu Xin chatted with Miss Li for an entire afternoon. By dinner time, only Cheng Huaijin returned. Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu ate dinner at the Guo family's house.
Because of Gu Sangu's princess status, her mother-in-law's attitude towards the Gu family has improved a lot in recent years. Gu Sangu and her husband even specially found a capable and virtuous wife for Guo Yanxiang, who takes good care of her mother-in-law. Now the Guo family is very different from before, and their business has also grown.
Gu Sangu's mother-in-law and sister-in-law were genuinely grateful to the Gu family, so they warmly invited Gu's grandparents to stay for dinner. The two elders, giving face to their son-in-law, stayed for dinner.
