With Hong Luan's help, Yan Zixin could finally heave a sigh of relief.

She didn't have to worry about any mistakes when she came here to escort them back. She politely rejected many of the officials' wives, apologizing in a good-natured manner. Her smiling face turned stiff.

Yan Zixin had originally been worried that rejecting them would make the other wives unhappy, but now she felt that it was quite a good feeling. However, no matter how ugly they were, they could only smile apologetically when they saw Hong Luan.

Who didn't know that Hong Luan was the most capable and favoured maidservant in front of Marquis's Wife? Now that she was married to Ji Jiaqian, it meant that Marquis's Wife valued her daughter the most.

Who would dare to give Hong Luan face? Wasn't that the same as looking down on Ji Jiaqian and Marquis's Wife?

They weren't stupid. They had come here to build a closer relationship, not to form a feud.

After giving them their gifts, the ladies left with a smile.

Yan Zixin told nanny to close the door and turned to Hong Luan with a smile. "With so many ladies around, I can finally relax a little. "Thank you very much, your wife. It's my fault that I have to trouble her so much."

She thought that Hong Luan was sent over by Ji Jiaqian, but Hong Luan shook her head and said, "No, eldest young master sent someone over to inform Madam that he's here. That's why he called this servant over to help."

This young master was obviously Ji Kerann.

Yan Zixin sighed with emotion. She had thought that such a wealthy family like Marquis Stability had a lot of dirty secrets. Who knew how many people were amiable and amiable? Ji Kerann, this nephew, had no idea how much he cared about his aunt's background.

Seeing that the Gu Clan was in a difficult position, he did not hesitate to lend a hand.

"Then help me thank your young master. He's too much."

Hong Luan responded with a smile, and quickly went back to wait upon Ji Jiaqian.

Yan Zixin didn't dare to keep her any longer, so she urged Hong Luan to return to the courtyard.

Ji Jiaqian was a little dizzy and didn't feel well. She stepped over the brazier as soon as she entered the room, but she didn't immediately pay her respects.

Normally, they would be ignored by others, but for Marquis Stability, no one in the Gu family dared to say a word.

After Ji Jiaqian had rested well, she came out to pay her respects to Master Gu.

The two lofty halls had already passed away. The first hall only had two memorial tablets.

Master Gu held the red rope and supported Ji Jiaqian as they bowed.

Kowtow to heaven and earth, to parents, to husband and wife. From here on out, they should be sent to the bridal chamber.

Originally, such a joyous event was something that could not be seen by a little girl like Gu Yunxiao, who had yet to be married off.

Unfortunately, Yan Zixin did not have any helpers. She could not possibly allow maidservant, who was just about to enter the door, to busy herself with the matters of their marriage, and only Gu Yunxiao was busy with other matters.

She stole an empty space and hid in a corner to watch the two of them pay respects. She felt her heart aching.

Just as Gu Yunyan had said, from then on, there would be an unfamiliar woman replacing their birth mother as the Gu family's new mistress.

Even though Madam Gu did not really care about Gu Yunxiao, she would only ask a few times a month about maidservant and nanny's care, food, sleep, and so on. It was just a routine question.

It wasn't that Gu Yunxiao didn't want to get closer to her biological mother, but she gradually put down that estranged look of hers.

In any case, his birth mother wasn't too harsh on him. What Gu Yunyan had, Gu Yunxiao more or less always had. It was just that she wasn't that sophisticated.

But at least she still kept it in her heart, so what would happen to this new madam?

The banquet finally made the guests happy. Gu Xuanyi praised Yan Zixin profusely, "Lady, there's so much to it. Your husband has really gained a lot of face in front of his colleagues."
