Only Madam Lu and her son Gu Zichen from the Gu family attended the Marquis's family banquet this time.
When Madam Lu learned of Chen Jinheng's actions, she became even more displeased, but no matter what, her daughter Gu Qianxue had won this time.
Although Gu Qianluo received these favors from Chen Jinheng, she could no longer compare to Gu Qianxue.
Because Gu Qianxue is pregnant with the Second Prince's child, Madam Lu has recently toned down her sharp edges.

"We're all family! Mother-in-law, you're too kind!"
