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.

"Don't worry about it. In the entire Gu family, only grandfather and grandmother insisted on worshipping their ancestors. If it weren't for their orders, no one in the Gu family would have cared about this matter." Gu Huaisheng helped her to sit on the sofa, and comforted her while he rubbed her head.

Lo Lishu obviously knew that things wouldn't be this simple. She just wanted her to relax a little, and she felt even more guilty and sad in his heart.

Gu Huaisheng inspected her wound, his tone slightly changing, as he talked about another topic, "Li Shu, tell me the truth, did you really accidentally fall down just now?"

What flashed past Lo Lishu's mind was Gu Ruoxue's cold expression from before, but she looked at Gu Huaisheng and said, "En, I accidentally tripped myself."

Gu Huaisheng looked at her bruised arm and pursed his lips, not saying a word.

Lo Lishu sat on the sofa, while Doctor Cheng gently held her arm and moved it a few times. Luckily, he didn't manage to break it, and then used a pair of tweezers to hold onto the alcohol soaked cotton to wipe her broken wound. Her palm was already bleeding from the small stones, and her elbow was even broken by a small stone.

Lo Lishu first felt icy cold, then sharp pain.

Seeing the pain on her face, Gu Huaisheng frowned and grabbed onto Doctor Cheng's arm. He asked with a pained tone, "Gentle!"

Dr. Cheng was startled by his grip, and the alcohol cotton almost flew out, then he stabilized his hand and said, "If you don't handle this properly, it might inflame you. It will hurt even more."

"That Gu Huaisheng is fine, he will be done in a while." Lo Lishu slowed down, seeing the look in Gu Huaisheng's eyes as though he was facing a great enemy, he could not help but laugh, "Gu Huaisheng, it's not too painful, don't mess with the doctor, if his hands were to shake, it would hurt me even more."

Gu Huaisheng could only retract his hand. He looked like a kid who couldn't get the candy.

Seeing him like this, Lo Lishu laughed in her heart, but at the same time, it was also very warm. He only said those words because he felt sorry for her, and it had been a long time since she felt this kind of care for him.

After Doctor Cheng used alcohol to treat his wound, he simply bandaged it and said to Lo Lishu in a serious tone, "Miss Lo, although the wound is not considered serious, it's best if you do not touch water. Also, do not use any force on your arm during these few days, it'll be fine after a few days."

"Yes, thank you, Doctor. I will." Lo Lishu replied seriously.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony Miss Lo. Mr. Gu, I'll be leaving first."

After sending Doctor Cheng off, Gu Huaisheng came back with a straight face, with the words "I'm not happy" clearly written in his eyes. Seeing him like that, Lo Lishu burst out laughing. She stood in front of Gu Huaisheng and waved his hands, then turned his head to look at him with a straight face and laughed, "Heh, the doctors are all gone! I didn't say anything, why are you still angry? "
