"Shut up," Gu Baijiang was still hoping to return to the court one day, plus the incident with Mrs. Li hadn't spread yet, so he could find a way to smooth it over in the future.
Who knew this foolish woman would blabber like this, trying to ruin the Gu Family's reputation? How could he tolerate it?
"That was a misunderstanding. Don't cling to it." Gu Baijiang continued, lowering his voice, "Don't you want to think about your children and grandchildren?
Do you really want to cut off your eldest's path to success?
Do your grandchildren still want to find a good family to marry into?"
"..."
"Do you think ruining my reputation and spreading this incident will benefit you?"
"I've worked hard for decades, and just as things were looking bright, now it's all been ruined by this foolish woman of yours.
I really regret it now. If I had known..."
If I had known what? Although Gu Baijiang didn't finish, Xu Huizhen sensed the malice in his words, shivering involuntarily.
