Old Master Gu didn't understand what was going on, but he had managed to deduce a great deal just from his surroundings. Ultimately, he threw all the blame onto the other party.
'This must be the epitome of protecting one's own...'
Gao Yunqin watched quietly, a plan already forming in her mind.
'I'll find a chance to leave. I can't get involved in this.'
"O-Old Master Gu, Yun Yue is your future granddaughter-in-law! How can you speak like that when she's been beaten to this state?" Madam Gao was fuming. The Gao and Gu families were supposed to be united by marriage, after all.
Old Master Gu was astonished. "What did you say? Granddaughter-in-law? Her? Marrying one of my grandsons?"
"It's Gu Yuan, the youngest son of Fourth Master Gu! The Emperor issued an imperial edict two months ago. The wedding is scheduled for the ninth of next month."
