When Luo Li raised her head, she saw a man around thirty years old with a gray leather shawl draped over his body. He had thick makeup painted on his face, and his eyes were slanted upwards, revealing a bewitching charm.

The lady sized Lo Lishu up from head to toe.

Lo Lishu also secretly glanced at her, because she somehow felt that this voice was very familiar. The woman walked a few rounds around her, then mockingly sneered at Lo Lishu, ”Why are you looking at me like that, I'm Huaisheng's aunt, since I'm his elder, I'm also your elder, so Lo Lishu, with your identity, if I were to marry Gu Huaisheng, then it would be as if my branches flew up! For my mom to ask you to help her burn incense in such a big matter like this, it is because she thinks highly of you.

Gu Huaisheng's... The aunt? Lo Lishu couldn't help but raise her head and look at that woman, and then, she recalled the 'adulterous relationship' she had with the Gu family during the banquet that day. That woman at that time was Gu Huaisheng's aunt, and he didn't manage to see who she was then either. It looked like it was her that day.

Gu Fenlan saw that Lo Lishu did not say a word, and thought that she was looking down on him, and was getting angrier. She raised her voice and said, ”Didn't you hear what I said to you? You aren't even polite to your elders? You aren't even in my Gu family's doorstep and you're already acting so arrogantly? Wouldn't it overturn the sky in the future? ”

”Fen Lan!” Old Lady Gu scolded loudly, stopping her from continuing, she glared and said, ”Today is such an official day, what are you arguing about, are you afraid that the matter is not big enough?”

She pointed at Lo Lishu and said to Old Lady Gu, ”Mom, look at how unruly this person is. She broke the incense and even now, she doesn't admit that she made a mistake, but the incense is the most important part of the Ancestor's process, so why don't you blame her instead of me? How can you be biased towards an outsider? ”

”Fen Lan, do you also want to kneel at the Ancestral Hall?” Old Lady Gu did not reply to her, but instead asked back with a cold glint in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Gu Fenlan looked at Lo Lishu unwillingly, and without saying a word, she turned and walked into the Gu household.

Old Lady Gu did not look at Gu Fenlan again, but instead turned her head to look at Lo Lishu, and asked with a gentle voice, ”Li Shu, where your body is painful, quickly say anything that is painful.”

The underlying meaning of his words was that he had just fallen down, and he didn't know if the child in his stomach was alright or not.

Lo Lishu naturally knew what the Old Lady Gu was worried about, thus she shook her head and forced a smile, ”Grandmother, I'm fine. When I fell earlier, I held onto my stomach, I wouldn't have any injuries.”

Old Lady Gu nodded her head, but felt that the first three months were extremely dangerous, so not even the slightest bit of accident could happen. Thus, she thought for a while and said to Gu Huaisheng, ”Take Li Shu to wipe the medicine, then look for the doctor at home.

Lo Lishu also did not want to stay here any longer, she felt that the gazes of the people around her were just about to stab her to death, so she said softly, ”Grandmother, I'm sorry.”

Old Lady Gu patted sher hands and her gaze softened as well. Then, he indicated for Gu Huaisheng to take her and leave.

Gu Huaisheng carried her in his arms as he buried himself in Gu Huaisheng's embrace, not wanting to look at anyone. Thus, he walked out from the path that the Gu family members had made way for him.

The two of them walked out of the ancestral hall. Lo Lishu pulled away from him and said with her head lowered, ”Sorry, I never thought that things would turn out like this.” Although Old Lady Gu did not blame her, she could feel the importance of the incense from the Gu family's discussions. If it wasn't for Old Lady Gu speaking up for her, she would probably have been drowned to death by the Gu family's people's saliva today.
