Unexpectedly, Gu Shichong frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
Seeing this, Concubine Ge asked him, "What's wrong?"
Gu Shichong suddenly smiled and said, "Mother's words have reminded me, son. If someone like her becomes our enemy, it will indeed cause some trouble. But what if she can wholeheartedly assist us?"
"no!"
Concubine Ge had not expected her words to have such a counter-effect. She immediately objected: "This kind of person's mind is unpredictable and difficult to tame."

Although Xue Zhiyi doesn't have such ability, how can you think that she is such an honest and docile woman who is willing to be loyal to you?"
Gu Shichong pondered for a moment, then said, "But my son thinks she has feelings for me."
Concubine Ge looked at him with dismay, "Does she really mean that, or is that just your assumption?"
