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? We’ve all seen what a spectacular wedding Shi Ke had back then. So how can Shi Nian’s marriage be so quiet?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYun Liu hastily nodded. Madam Gu didn’t say anything. Gu Man commented, “However, Shi Nian is already completely charmed by that vixen. He’s always protecting her. I don’t know what’s so good about her, hmph!”
Madam Gu glared at her. “Don’t blame others for your own incompetence!”
Gu Man bit her lip and stopped talking. Madam Gu continued, “Although your parents are from the Gu family’s side branch, you were raised by my side. I didn’t spend so much effort teaching you and treating you the same as Gu Wen just for you to be an embarrassment. Listen up! I don’t care how you do it, but you must snatch Shi Nian for yourself and marry him!”
“If the main family’s Gu Fei marries the Shi family’s daughter, you’ll have to marry into the Shi family and become the young mistress. Only then will we be able to compete against the main family and not lose out!” Madam Gu ordered.
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,
“Sister-in-law, when do you plan to meet the Yun family?”
“I don’t intend to meet them,” Little Madam Gu said lightly. “If they’re sensible, I’ll give them some money as compensation. If they aren’t… then I’ll have our lawyer talk to them and see if we can sue them for kidnapping.”
Madam Gu frowned in disapproval. “That’s not a good idea!”
Little Madam Gu held back her anger and inquired, “What do you propose?”
Madam Gu stated frankly, “We’ve just arrived in Rong City. We’re not completely without connections, but we haven’t really gotten to know the wealthy families here yet. Although the Yun family is not very wealthy, they still have some sway in Rong City. Since they have a close relationship with Yun Liu, we might as well recruit the Yun family first. It’ll be more convenient for us to do things in the future, don’t you think?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLittle Madam Guts breath caught in her chest. It was Madam Gu who’d ordered her to give the Yun family a hard time to prevent them from latching onto their family in the first place. And now, it was also Madam Gu who wanted to make peace with the Yun family. ‘Is she messing with me? I’ve already sent someone to the Yun family to deliver some very strong words. How am I supposed to take back those words now? Little Madam Gu inwardly raged.
Madam Gu looked at Yun Liu and said haughtily, “From now on, you’ll be the contact person between our family and the Yun family. You’ll have to maintain this relationship.”
She continued, “You should know what you have to do. Our Gu family doesn’t lack girls. It makes no difference to us whether we keep you or not. If you want a place in our family, you have to have some ability yourself. The Gu family doesn’t take idlers. What’s the use of our Gu family acknowledging you if you don’t contribute?”
“Yes, Auntie.” Yun Liu meekly and obediently replied.
Little Madam Gu calmed down and said smilingly, “You’re absolutely right, Sister-in-law. Our family only has the high status we enjoy today thanks to your strategizing.”
“Yun Liu has just returned to me, so she still doesn’t know many of our family’s rules. I hope you can patiently teach her, Sister-in-law. After all, she’s a daughter of our Gu family, and we wouldn’t want her to embarrass us. Yun Liu would be quite lucky if she could gain your favor and have you teach her like
you taught Gu Man..”
