Gu Si looked at Gu Xin, wanting to speak, but then closed her mouth.
Gu Xin didn't say anything either, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Gu Si: "?"
Gu Xin: "?"
Gu Si: "...Are you done talking?"
Gu Xin: "Yes, that's it. That's roughly what happened. Anyway, Lin's goal has been achieved. As for Lu Ni's thoughts, they don't matter anymore. Lin will definitely seize this opportunity, even if Lu Ni doesn't want to marry, she has to marry. Otherwise, she, who couldn't find a good husband to begin with, will find even less. If she makes a scene and refuses to marry, she can only stay in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and then she might think she's so great that she'll cause trouble for me and Yuan Yuan."
Gu Si pouted and said disdainfully, "This Lin woman is really something. Even my mother would never have done something like this! When my mother was helping my eldest sister find a husband, she could only scold her in the end. She would never have pressured everyone or taught my eldest sister anything like this. Lin woman is truly vicious!"
Gu Xin smiled and said, "She's not wrong. If Lu Ni stays in Da Zhou, with her proud nature, she might really have to stay at home for the rest of her life. Even if she doesn't stay, she won't marry into a good family. With the Lin family gone, and Yuan Yuan from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in charge, she feels that Lu Ni can't rely on her maternal family anymore. But marrying into Dong Zhe is different. Lu Ni represents Da Zhou, so you could say Da Zhou is her maternal family. Even if Yuan Yuan doesn't care, others will. We can't let our Da Zhou's girls be bullied in Dong Zhe! Another point is that Lin's plan also includes her son! She plans for Lu Ni to go there, give birth to a child, and consolidate her position, then have Lu Ni express her desire to see her relatives. At that time, she'll have her brother go there, and then she'll stage a fake death or something, so her brother can stay in Dong Zhe. Lin has done too many bad things, and she's worried that Yuan Yuan will cause trouble for her children!"
Gu Si curled her lip and said, "Tch, sexism, sacrificing daughters to protect sons!"
Gu Xin smiled but didn't say anything.
Gu Xin knew that there were doubts about the identities of Lin's two children, but there was no concrete evidence yet.
King Qu is dead, and it's not certain that the old members of the Lin family from back then can be found, so the investigation will be quite troublesome.
Gu Si was unaware of these matters, and Gu Xin had no intention of telling anyone before the truth was uncovered.
Gu Si's eyes darted around, and she asked again, "By the way, Third Sister, who exactly is the murderer? Is it really Princess Longzhu'er's maid? Rumor has it that she treated the maid badly, and the maid was tortured terribly, so she found an opportunity to kill her. Is that true?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "Of course not. However, this is an internal conflict within Nanlin, not a conflict between masters and servants. Nanlin has been able to maintain its regime for hundreds of years, which is truly a blessing from heaven. It also shows that the people of Nanlin are generally easygoing. Now that some people are no longer easygoing, problems have arisen."
Gu Si became interested again and insisted on listening.
Gu Xin laughed and said, "You could at least let me get up and get dressed! Are you planning to let me stay in the water and talk to you like this? If I stay in the water any longer, my skin will get all wrinkled."
Gu Si put down the tray in her hand and quickly got up to get clothes for Gu Xin: "Yes, yes, I'll help you get dressed, sister."
Gu Xin was speechless at her fawning attitude.
But it's good, Sisi is more lively now, and looks more energetic.
