In the Qin Family Hall:
The Qin family noticed that Gu Mochen was somewhat reluctant to marry off his daughter, and almost immediately began to curry favor with him.
For example, they praised Gu Mochen's good genes, suggesting that it was why such a perfect daughter was born.
Or they praised the Gu family's virtues for raising Gu Xiran so well, and so on.
Led by the old master, the Qin family took the initiative to shower praises.
Old Master Qin couldn't stop praising Gu Xiran, saying repeatedly that he now prefers to call her granddaughter-in-law rather than Tang Bao, issuing a declaration that as far as he was concerned, Gu Xiran was his recognized granddaughter-in-law, and he wouldn't accept anyone else.
The old master even showed a hint of the roguish spirit he once had in the military.
The implied meaning was... if the Gu family wouldn't give her, the Qin family would even be willing to snatch her away.
Even if it meant risking his old life...
