But when she got drunk with Sheng Shi and Lady Gu and Sheng Shi once again treated her as a commodity to strike a deal, she felt the world was in turmoil.

But before that day could come, she was bought by Sheng Shi.
She could never forget the words Madam Gu told her, "Shi'er gave me a lot of money and benefits, so just marry Shi'er obediently. Many women want to marry him but can't, and you don't even realize the good fortune you've cultivated in past lives to be chosen by Shi'er! I didn't know you were worth so much money!"
Madam Gu wore a beautiful cheongsam and sat on the sofa in the Gu Family's home, looking beautiful, her voice also beautiful.
