"Ah Li, what exactly happened?"
Gu Li turned her face away. "Grandmother, I want to rest."
"Then go and rest. I'll have someone brew some calming medicine for you. Drink some after you wake up."
The old lady carefully examined the dark circles under her grandson's eyes and realized that he must have been having trouble sleeping for some time.
After Gu Li entered the courtyard, the warmth on the old lady's face turned cold.
She glanced at Su Yan, her voice cold, "Su Yan, is it because I've been too good to you that you've forgotten who you are?"
Su Yan quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "How could Grandmother think that way? I was just a little worried about my cousin."
"Worried?" The old lady sneered. "Is that what you call worry?"
She originally valued Su Yan because of her obedient and sensible nature, but just now, Su Yan dared to speak to Ali like that!
Upon hearing this, Su Yan lowered her head and remained silent, knowing that no matter what she said, the old lady would not believe her.
A month ago, Su Yan would have believed that the old lady genuinely wanted her to be her granddaughter-in-law.
But so much has changed in just one month. Now, the old lady is picky about everything.
During the month that Gu Li was away, the old lady thought that Gu Li had found out about her desire to force him into marriage, which was why her beloved grandson had left.

Many people in the capital joked that the young master had fallen from grace, and that it wouldn't be long before the Marquis of Wanning's mansion had good news to announce.
The old lady naturally heard it too, after all, the former heir was indeed a prominent figure in Shengjing.
But that wasn't what she cared about. She was sick during the time of the wedding at the Marquis's residence, so she only sent a congratulatory gift. The old lady had never actually met the bride.
"Is the Crown Princess very beautiful?" the old lady asked, frowning.
The maid who had been massaging her legs looked up and met the old lady's gaze. The maid quickly lowered her head.
After thinking carefully, she said, "Madam, it's probably just as outsiders say; the Princess Consort is indeed beautiful, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the dissolute Prince Wanning, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties, would not have married a woman with no support.
Only then did the old lady understand why her grandson was so unwilling to go along with her.
She misunderstood; her grandson was still young, so it was normal for him to be attracted to women.
Compared to other noble ladies in the capital, Su Yan was indeed somewhat inferior. It was just that she was getting senile.
