After saying that, Gu Si continued, "Although we have suspected it, we still think it's unlikely that Madam Zheng would do something like this. The main reason is that Madam Zheng's distant nephew lives quite far away, not even in the same place as Madam Zheng's maternal family. They are just distant relatives. Madam Zheng probably only knows her nephew's father's generation, and they're not even close yet! How could she possibly do something like this in such a short time?"
"Another point is that Madam Zheng the Second looked down on that person from the very beginning. Wasn't this a power struggle with Madam Zheng the Fourth? She probably didn't even think of this possibility. She ruined her nephew's marriage. What if her nephew took a fancy to someone from the Fourth branch of the family? Wouldn't that be like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice instead?"
"Therefore, I think it's very unlikely that she's behind this."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xin felt that Gu Si's words made a lot of sense.
However, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are people who have nothing better to do and just like to go to great lengths to do such things.
Gu Xin asked again, "Qianqian said she has a good relationship with the daughter of the third branch of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion? What kind of person is the third branch of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion? Would they be good to Xiao Qiu?"
Gu thought for a moment and said, "Qianqian said that in her eyes, she knows everyone in the entire Yong'an Marquis's mansion except for the eldest son of the Yong'an Marquis. Her favorite person is Zheng Ruo, the eldest daughter of the third branch. She doesn't like anyone else. Anyway, the inner quarters of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion are quite chaotic. But Zheng Ruo never gets involved."
Gu Xin nodded, understanding.
Qianqian is the daughter of Minister Qian of the Ministry of Revenue. Her name is Qian Siyu. She has a very good relationship with Gu Si and is Gu Si's best friend besides her sisters.
Gu Xin and her friends had also hung out with Qianqian and thought she was a good person; the friends she liked must be of good character.
Gu Xin remembered the name Zheng Ruo and planned to talk to Zheng Qiu about it tomorrow.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was quite lively. When the time came, everyone went home.
...
After returning home, Grandpa and Grandma Gu, unusually, invited their children and grandchildren to the courtyard to chat and admire the moon together.
The Gu family is now quite large; just the younger children plus the maids who take care of them make up a huge group.
Grandpa Gu felt very satisfied watching this scene and couldn't help but take Grandma Gu's hand.
Grandma Gu looked back and smiled, "Brother Chuan, do you remember when we got married?"
Grandpa Gu nodded: "How could I not remember? The fifteenth of August. That night, the two of us were in the yard with Dad, watching the moon and drinking!"
Grandma Gu looked at the moon and thought of her father.
She never knew that her mother hadn't died and that she had a twin sister, but unfortunately, her father didn't know either.
Her father raised her with longing for her mother, but eventually went to find her mother.
Grandma Gu believed that being devoted to one person was a family trait, and that their descendants would only love one person for their entire lives.
Of course, we can't say for sure right now, but at least that's how the children she raised are.
Life is too short to love more than one person.
Grandma Gu held Grandpa Gu's hand in return. She felt that her life had been worthwhile. She met her soulmate when she was a teenager, and they had been together for over forty years. In her later years, she was surrounded by her children and grandchildren. It was truly the best gift God had given her.
Grandpa Gu placed his other hand on Grandma Gu's hand as well, his eyes filled with the same doting affection as before, making the children around them incredibly envious.
