Gu Yunru had only been to her own courtyard once before and didn’t even recognize Xiao Qingzi and Biyun. Could it be that she really had the ability to see things others couldn’t?

“Madam, this is a good thing. Since they are both in the same courtyard, and have committed to spending their lives together and have children, why not fulfill their wishes?” Gu Yunru said with a serious face. “I even saw how I fell into the water from my ‘heavenly eye.’ It wasn’t like what the servants said about me jumping into the lake. It was actually Third Sister who pushed me!”

Gu Yunru had been earnestly advising Madam Gu, but then suddenly turned the tables and pointed at Gu Junyue with a cold and stern expression. “Third Sister also said that His Majesty gave Second Sister to the Marquis of Zhao as a wife, but he behaved badly and was cruel. Madam couldn’t bear to let Second Sister suffer, so she asked me to take her place!”

Madam Gu was completely shocked by this.

Gu Yunru had only been at the Gu Mansion for three days, and had just returned from falling into the lake, lying in bed for two days. She had specifically ordered that news of the marriage agreement not be leaked!

Could there really be some sort of ghost or monster at play?

“Mother, don’t listen to her nonsense. I didn’t push her, I just pulled her in a moment of urgency,” Gu Junyue said. She had also been shocked by Gu Yunru’s ability and was now panicked as the blame seemed to be shifting to her.
