Gu Qiaoqiao looked toward Qin Xuan and said softly, "It's not your fault about today's incident. Bai Yun had a deep relationship with you and even though I've been married into the Qin family for less than a year, I simply can't compare. Besides, it's easy to know people's faces but not their hearts. I was utterly deceived by her, not to mention you two who treated her like a daughter."
Her voice was not loud, but it was very clear, carrying a hint of grievance. However, to Qin Xuan and Shen Manru's ears, it sounded awkward no matter how they listened.
The entire Qin family had been deceived by a young girl, and now Gu Qiaoqiao mentioned it in such a manner.
They felt ashamed to the core.
Shen Manru's face fell. She did truly care for Bai Yun, loved her deeply, and even wanted her to become her daughter-in-law.
Her treatment of Bai Yun wasn't quite the same as treating her own daughter, but it was dozens of times more affectionate than how she treated Gu Qiaoqiao.
