Only Lady Quan was still unaware, secretly complaining that she shouldn't have returned to the Capital City; it would be better if she were by her husband's side.
Old Lady Gu admonished Lady Quan for a while, also reminding her that if she wanted to put on airs as a mother-in-law, she should remember there's still a mother-in-law above her.
The Gu family, being a Family of Literari, is most particular about its reputation, always ensuring the elders are kind and the youngsters are dutiful.
Moreover, it's almost time to find a marriage match for Gu Zikai. If news spread about the Gu family mistreating a daughter-in-law, jeopardizing Zikai's marriage, she'll ask who would be spared?
Besides, her considerations are for the second son's sake too. The family currently relies on the Eldest Brother, and in the future, the second son's family will also depend heavily on the Eldest Brother's family.
