"We're here, Gu Zheng. Come with me to meet my wife."
"Mr. Jiang, please go first. I apologize for disturbing you."
Because of his grandfather's words, Gu Zheng was filled with curiosity about the Jiang family, so he was very well-behaved throughout the journey and did not catch any demons.
"Shuyun, whose son is this?"
"Yi'an, this is Gu Zheng, the headmaster's grandson. He's here as a guest."
Mu Yi'an was stunned for a moment, but she knew that Jiang Shuyun wouldn't bring someone back for no reason. She would ask about the specifics later that evening.
"Welcome, Gu Zheng."
"Sister Fang, go and call Shao Ming and the others over. We have guests; please come and greet them."
Mu Yi'an gestured for Gu Zheng to sit down; the boy was quite handsome.
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang. My grandfather prepared a small gift; please accept it."
Gu Zheng found the Jiang family's mistress quite pleasing to the eye; she wasn't adorned with excessive jewelry or wore a fake smile, and seemed like a very genuine person.
"Thank you so much, Headmaster, for taking such good care of him."
Mu Yi'an had someone accept the gift, and Gu Wen and Gu Wu left.

“Your father’s grandson is the headmaster of the academy. Come in and get to know the guests.”
Mu Yi'an guessed that Shao Yun was the first one to come in; that child was very lively.
Shao Ming brought several others in with him. After Chu Yue came in last, she ran straight to her mother's side.

Gu Zheng thought to himself, "I don't know which of these children are legitimate and which are illegitimate; there's no clear distinction."
In the capital, not only their family, but also other families, clearly distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children; it was almost immediately obvious.
However, he really couldn't tell which of the eight children in the Jiang family were legitimate and which were illegitimate.
As Gu Zheng sized up the Jiang family's child, Shao Ming and the others were also observing him, sensing that he was someone different from them.
Dressed in brocade, adorned with jade ornaments on her head, and with numerous accessories around her waist, she clearly came from a wealthy family.
The two sides engaged in a silent contest, neither breaking the deadlock first.
