Everyone in the village knew Gu Cheng's personality. They were afraid that Gu Cheng would completely cling onto them after taking care of him for too long, so they kept urging Ji Yao and the court to have someone to take over responsibility of Gu Cheng.
Ji Yao was annoyed by the people in the village and the court and finally agreed to accept Gu Cheng's custody.
However, no one expected that on the second day after Ji Yao took over Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng would be sent away by her, and to a childless couple at that.
Everyone could tell what Ji Yao was up to, but Ji Yao did not accept any money from that family. She only said that she had placed him in her friend's house, so others could not do anything to Ji Yao.
Hence, the matter with the Gu family came to an end when Gu Yong and his wife were sent to prison and Gu Cheng was sent to someone else.
Before Gu Xiao left, she went to see Ji Yao, or rather, she met her by accident.
