What third aunt Gu didn't know was that Guo Wan had actually wanted to find a better man in the beginning. She thought that since she was the Fuma's sister, she might be able to marry a Prince!
The Grand Empress Dowager was such a smart person. How could she let her only granddaughter be annoyed by her sister-in-law?
Therefore, the Grand Empress Dowager had used some tricks to make Guo Wan agree to this marriage of her own free will.
She wasn't going to force her, or else her granddaughter would be in a difficult position!
As for Guo Yan, it was even easier. The Empress Dowager would not allow the evil mother-in-law to bully her own granddaughter. For the sake of her grandson-in-law, she would not punish the evil mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, but she must make clear arrangements for the three of them, and they had to be far away. She had chosen a girl from Qing Province for Guo Yan.
