Mrs. Gu's palms and backs of her hands are all made of flesh, so helping her isn't helping her, right?

Gu Junyao cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears, which was heartbreaking. She raised her tear-stained face and said bitterly, "Mother, it's all your fault."

"Okay, Yao'er, don't blame me. I won't say a word. Just don't get so angry that you get sick."

Gu Junyao calmed down and looked at Madam Gu's face. She couldn't show any anger no matter how angry she was.

"Mom, what Gu Junyue did is completely ruin the reputation of the Gu family. She said that if Brother Shaoyuan knew that he didn't marry me, he would hate her to death."

"My daughter, please don't say that again. Even if you are very dissatisfied, you should keep it to yourself. Jun Yue will come back to visit his family in two days, and Master Cheng will come with him. You should not make a scene in front of him. It is not decent."

"mother!"

Gu Junyao could only grit her teeth and swallow it.

In the Pavilion Garden, Qingxing heard the young lady talking about this and laughed so hard that her stomach hurt and tears were about to fall. Gu Yunru looked outside the yard warily, raised his index finger at her, and said with a hissing sound: "Qingxing, I'm afraid this isn't a good idea for us, is it?"

"Miss, what's wrong? I just heard someone say that the second young lady was so angry that she threw all those precious vases and utensils into pieces in the room."

Gu Yunru suppressed her smile, took Qingxing's hand and sat aside, saying, "She treated you like that before, and this time she has shot herself in the foot. I didn't expect that these two sisters actually had their own agenda, but it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, before this happened, Miss San would actually do this to Master Cheng..."

Qing Xing looked at Gu Yunru, a hint of rebellion flashed in her gentle eyes, and she said softly, "Miss, Mr. Cheng is married, which means that you and the prince will be together soon."

"Don't mention him to me. I'm finally in a better mood, but it's all ruined when he's mentioned."

Gu Yunru's green jade fingers were circling the black silk on her chest, her mind was full of worries. On the day when Gu Junyue returned to the mansion to invite her relatives, Cheng Shaoyuan accompanied her. When Gu Junyue approached the door, she even tidied his clothes for him, raised her smiling eyes, and said, "Sir, you don't have to be restrained when you enter the mansion later."

"Um."

Cheng Shaoyuan looked calm, not at all uneasy or nervous, as if he was just reviewing a case. He walked straight in. Madam Gu and Mr. Gu were waiting in the yard. When they saw their son-in-law come in, they immediately asked someone to prepare tea and cakes.

Gu Junyao, wearing a white silk dress, walked in quietly from the backyard. The moment she saw Gu Junyue, she gritted her teeth and wanted to take off her colorful clothes, but she restrained herself.

"Mom and Dad, your daughter is back to visit you." Gu Junyue called out sweetly, as if what happened before had never happened. Gu Junyao hid her fists in her sleeves and clenched them tightly. Her sharp fingertips were about to pierce her skin, but she still stood aside motionless.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu looked at each other tacitly, as if nothing had happened on the wedding day. They asked everyone to sit down and started chatting about some family matters. Cheng Shaoyuan felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so he wanted to take a walk in the backyard.

"Husband, how about letting Junyue go with you?" Gu Junyue was afraid that Gu Junyao would cause trouble, so she stepped forward to suggest it. Cheng Shaoyuan waved his hand and said, "No need. This is not my first time to come to the Gu Mansion. I know where I can relax."

After saying that, they left the hall. As soon as Cheng Shaoyuan left, Gu Junyao slapped her in the face. Her eyes were red with anger as she glared at him and said, "You are so brave, Gu Junyue. How dare you replace me and marry into the Cheng family? I think you are really bold, aren't you?" Seeing the two young ladies immediately turned around and started fighting, Madam Gu quickly called the servant and the butler to pull them apart.

"Look at the two of you, what a disgrace!" Mr. Gu shook his head at them in disappointment, put his hands behind his back, waved his sleeves and left.

The pearl hairpins on Gu Junyue's head were torn to pieces. She managed to calm herself down and smiled at Gu Junyao, "Second sister, why are you so angry? Now that I am a member of the Cheng family, I should still know some etiquette."

"How dare you tell me this, Gu Junyue? Why didn't I realize you were such a bitch before? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Gu Junyao rolled up her sleeves and grabbed her face without caring about etiquette. Fortunately, Mrs. Gu stepped in and pulled the two of them apart.

"Alright! Jun Yao, Jun Yue, stop making trouble! You two are sisters after all, why would you fight for a man?"

Seeing the two people arguing, he asked the servants to take them to the side room, change their clothes, and re-arrange their hair. Meanwhile, Cheng Shaoyuan was taking a rare leisure time, strolling around the pond, watching a few carps emerge from the river, and stopped curiously.

Gu Yunru was taking a walk nearby when she had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, she ran into him. Just as she was about to turn around, he called her to stop.

"Yun Ru." Cheng Shaoyuan was about to ask about what happened that day. He had to get to the bottom of it before he would let it go. Seeing her turn around and leave, he felt a sense of loss in his heart. He took a few steps to catch up with her, looked at her affectionately and asked, "Don't you really want to see me?"

"Master Cheng... No, I should call you brother-in-law now."

Gu Yunru smiled at Cheng Shaoyuan, with a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness on her pretty face.

When Cheng Shaoyuan heard her call him like that, his face turned pale and he slowly withdrew his hand that was stiff in the air, but the affection in his eyes did not change.

"You can call me whatever you want. That day..." Cheng Shaoyuan was about to ask more when he saw her shifting her gaze to the lotus pond with rejection.

"Mr. Cheng, look, there are so many red carps here."

Hearing her say this, Cheng Shaoyuan looked away indifferently, as if there were no red carp in the lotus pond.

"Mr. Cheng, there is no need to mention the past. Now you are my brother-in-law. It is Jun Yue's luck to marry you. I hope you can treat her well."

The two were chatting by the river, but were accidentally seen by Miaoxin who happened to meet them nearby. Miaoxin quickly hid behind a tree stump and watched. The two of them were flirting with each other and seemed to be chatting happily. Could it be that Mr. Cheng was in love with the eldest lady? After coming to this conclusion, she quickly walked back the way she came.

The scene changed. After Gu Junyao had packed her clothes, she ran around the yard, looking for Cheng Shaoyuan. Finally, she saw him in a pavilion and ran towards him in a hurry, "Brother Shaoyuan!"
