Madam Gu swept a glance over to Yun Liu and said coldly, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
“No, Auntie, I didn’t! I really didn’t!” Yun Liu hurriedly denied it. “Yun Nan always likes to tell tales; she lies all the time. Even my parents—my adoptive parents—don’t believe a word she says. No one knows if she’s telling the truth or not. I’ve also asked my adoptive mother about it before, and she said that Yun Nan’s marriage certificate must be fake. If it was real, according to the Shi family’s rules, they would surely have held a wedding.”
When Little Madam Gu heard this, she slowly uttered, “Sister-in-law, I think what she’s saying makes sense. For example, if our Gu Fei’s marriage is settled, it’s impossible for us not to hold a grand wedding to announce it to the world, right?

Gu Man quickly nodded. “Yes, Auntie. I understand.” Yun Liu glanced at Gu Man and lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.
Madam Gu remarked, “Since you’ve acknowledged Mrs. Xi as your godmother, I should pay her a visit. Help me arrange a time for us to meet. The main family is definitely planning to expand their business into Rong City. We’ll use this opportunity to build our own power base. It’ll be too conspicuous for the men in our family to come over, so they’re relying on us to build connections. You guys have to keep this in mind.”
Everyone quickly agreed. Madam Gu looked at Little Madam Gu and asked,
