The words of her mother had initially left her in a state of gloom. But hearing her family's reassuring words, she found himself at ease. "Nothing matters more than the peace and harmony of our family!" Gu Zi declared.
Upon hearing these words, the faces of Mother Lin and Li Hua visibly relaxed. They had spoken their minds, and with that, they exhaled a long-held breath. It was a sigh of relief, a release of tension that had been building up within them. Their nerves, once taut with stress, now relaxed. They would no longer waste energy on trivial matters. It was a novel experience, almost as if they had undergone a metamorphosis.
