"Of course not. Mother's move is killing two birds with one stone. I'm impressed," Gu Chengbin said in a flattering manner.
"It's good that you understand my thoughts. Without the Old Madam, I'll be the true ruler of the Gu family. At that time, the Qi family will naturally help me deal with Gu Qingxue. We'll just watch the fire from the other side. Won't we be happy?" Madam Kou said as she picked up food for her children. "That's settled then. Let's eat."
On the other side, Gu Qingxue came back to eat with Madam Qi and the three children, looking absent-minded.
After lunch, the three children obediently followed Cui'er to take an afternoon nap. Only Gu Qingxue, Madam Qi, Lan Wen, and Nanny Sheng were left in the room.
Nanny Sheng served Gu Qingxue a cup of calming flower tea and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with the Eldest Miss today? Why are you absent-minded?"
