Gu Ya told Gu Hengniang not to trouble others, yet Gu Hengniang did not understand his intention.
Ruyan was Gu Hengniang's sister-in-law.
Gu Hengniang always treated Ruyan as her own sister.
In Gu Hengniang's eyes, Ruyan was like family, not an outsider, and certainly not 'others'.
It was family to bring Ruyan along to her father Gu Chengxiang's birthday.
Gu Ya assumed that after his reminder, his second sister Gu Hengniang would understand and not bring that woman again, so after mentioning it once, he said no more.
Gu Hengniang told Gu Ya about her plans for the next day and said she still needed to inform her brother-in-law and his wife, as well as her fourth and fifth brothers.
Upon standing up, Gu Hengniang was ready to leave, "Third brother, for tomorrow's return trip, your sister needs to inform your elder brother as well so I won't disturb you and your wife's rest anymore."
