Liu Sihua continued talking to herself, becoming more and more satisfied with Gu Jingchun.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin was instantly enraged.
But on the surface, she feigned a weak and submissive demeanor, and followed suit by bowing and saying:
"This must be Madam Luo. I was unaware of her presence and did not pay my respects. Please forgive me."
Gu Yunjin bowed in greeting.
Liu Sihua glanced at her indifferently and nodded slightly in response.
Gu Yunjin continued, "Madam Luo is right. My sister is indeed very beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten married so early."
Upon hearing this, Liu Sihua sighed and looked at Gu Jingchun with even more affection in her eyes.
"Oh, my poor child, widowed at such a young age."
"But it doesn't matter. After you marry into the Luo family, with Ziqian by your side, you'll surely enjoy a comfortable and happy life in your later years."
Gu Yunjin continued:
"Madam Luo is a kind-hearted person, and it is my sister's good fortune to marry into the Luo family. However, my sister also has a child with her, which I suppose..."
Before Gu Yunjin could finish speaking, Liu Sihua immediately interrupted.
"I've heard about that too."
She smiled and held Gu Jingchun's hand.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared a courtyard in the manor specifically for your child to live in!"
“Our household is small, and we are getting old. We have never had children to keep us company, so it is very lonely. Now that we have a child to keep us company, it is wonderful.”
Liu Sihua's eyes were full of sincerity.
“I’ve already thought it through. After you get married, if the child is willing, he can live with me. That way, the two of us old folks can hold our grandson right away. Just thinking about it makes me happy.”
Gu Yunjin was furious when she heard this!
In a moment of impulsiveness, I blurted out:
"This child isn't even sure whose heir it is, yet your Luo family is willing to be such a sucker!"
She never expected that Madam Luo was a fool. She had already said so much, yet Madam Luo could still accept it. No wonder she gave birth to a son who was gay.
Upon hearing this, Liu Sihua suddenly turned around, her previous amiable demeanor completely gone, and stared at her coldly.
"This must be the fake young lady from your household!"
"you……"
When Gu Yunjin heard the words "fake heiress," she was so angry that her blood ran cold. She was about to explode, but then she remembered the other party's identity and could only suppress her anger.
But Liu Sihua's next words startled her.
"Were you questioning His Majesty just now?"
"This marriage was bestowed by the Emperor, yet you keep saying that the Luo family is being taken advantage of. Are you questioning the Emperor?"
Liu Sihua pressed on relentlessly.
"I don't?"
Gu Yunjin quickly shook her head.
Seeing her pale face, Liu Sihua looked her up and down and snorted coldly.
“A fake is a fake. Even if she has been raised in this Marquis’s mansion for so many years, she can’t change her nature.”
Gu Yunjin's face turned even paler upon hearing this.
She clenched her fists, trying to appear calm as she spoke:
“Madam Luo, I have no grudge against you. How can you, as an elder, humiliate me like this?”
"I humiliated you?"
Liu Sihua snorted coldly.
"Don't you even know who you are? Do you think you're worthy of my humiliation?"
"Before I arrived, you had been slandering my Luo family in an attempt to suppress my future daughter-in-law."
After I arrived, she kept belittling her in her words and actions, as if she wanted me to despise her so that she would lose face.
I simply returned everything you just said to you. What, you can't stand that?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin clasped her hands tightly together.
At this moment, Gu Wei'ang, who had been inside the room, also came out.
Upon seeing this, Liu Sihua raised her voice slightly.
“I’ve decided that Gu Jingchun is my daughter-in-law. She’s like a daughter to me now.”
"If your Yong'an Marquis's mansion doesn't care, you can marry into our Luo family tomorrow."
My Luo family will definitely cherish her like a precious gem, and we would never do something like your Gu family, mistaking a fish eye for a pearl.
As for your good daughter, I hope Marquis Yong'an will discipline her properly.
"Don't let the day come when what you dare not say reaches His Majesty's ears; that would truly be a disaster."
Although Gu Wei'ang didn't know what had happened, he could guess the gist of it by looking at Gu Yunjin's pale face and hearing these words.
He glared at Gu Yunjin fiercely, then ordered someone to "send" Gu Yunjin back, thus putting the matter to rest.
Gu Jingchun never expected that the Luo family elders would personally deliver the betrothal gifts and even stand up for her, allowing her to finally vent her anger.
My heart was instantly warmed.
This feeling of being valued stirred her emotions.
Even after Liu Sihua and Luo Kejin returned, she still couldn't calm down.
Thinking of Liu Sihua's sincere eyes, she couldn't help but sigh:
"Lanxin, this time, I might really be able to experience the happiness of having family."
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace...
Shen Hechuan frowned deeply.
Because the spy we caught yesterday is dead.
Without any warning, he died in prison.
And the clue he had just uncovered went cold.
This made Shen Hechuan suspect that there was a traitor among his men.
Just then, Tianji rushed in.
"Master, Master."
"He's awake, that person is awake."
Shen Hechuan looked up.
"Who's awake?"
Shen Hechuan frowned, clearly not remembering who it was.
