Gu Qianxue believed that if Gu Qianluo encountered Chen Jinheng's favoritism towards Lin Ruoyan, she would definitely resort to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, thus ultimately being disliked by Chen Jinheng.
"Xue'er, there's still an hour left! Perhaps your brother-in-law has some important matters to attend to, so don't be too happy yet."
"Mother, just you wait! I'm sure Gu Qianluo won't be coming back."
When Madam Lu and Gu Qianxue returned to the garden at a leisurely pace, the dancers in the square had already performed twice, and the opera troupe had already given their first performance.
With the banquet about to begin, Gu Qianluo still hadn't appeared. Gu Cixiu was restless, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Firstly, there was concern that the Gu family had not personally visited to apologize because of Gu Qianxue's matter, and therefore would not attend the homecoming banquet, thus alienating the Gu family.
Secondly, there was concern that the second young master of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion disliked Gu Qianluo's marriage in place of him, which was why she was not allowed to return to her parents' home, and that the entire Marquis's mansion treated Gu Qianluo harshly.
Lu noticed Gu Cixiu's worried expression and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

“Grandmother, Mother, Jinheng must have had important matters to attend to, which is why he couldn’t come in time. Today, for the homecoming visit, Luo’er can go back by herself.”
After she finished speaking calmly, the old lady in the main seat became anxious and called out to Liu Mama outside the door.
"Granny Liu, you will accompany the Second Madam back to her parents' home. She is new to the household and not very familiar with its affairs. If the Gu family asks any questions, please help her out."
With the old lady's care, Gu Qianluo's dim eyes suddenly brightened.
"Thank you, Grandmother. Then I'll take my leave now."
As soon as Gu Qianluo settled into the carriage, Xiao Cui came up to fan her, looking indignant.
“Miss, your husband has misspoke. I think you should follow the old lady’s advice and teach him a lesson.”
A fierce glint flashed in Gu Qianluo's eyes. She lifted the carriage curtain, watching the gradually disappearing scene of the Marquis's mansion, and said coldly,
"He deserves to be punished properly."
