Old Lady Gu nodded with satisfaction, "I naturally have faith in you. You've worked hard all these years. When the time comes, make sure your younger sister thanks you properly!"
The Lady of the Gu Family responded promptly, "Then I'll be waiting, mother-in-law."

They paid no attention to the expressions of the others in the room.
Lady Lou lowered her head, gently holding her belly, her expression unclear.
Lady An, with a bright smile, was simply praising the rouge and powder to Wang Yongzhu.
Gu Zitang twisted the handkerchief in her hand into a spiral, while Gu Zimei kept giving her meaningful glances.
Old Granny Zhang frowned slightly but said nothing, though her face showed displeasure.
After lunch, when Old Lady Gu took her daily nap, everyone returned to their respective rooms.
