After they left, Gu Lan and Gu Yinyin glanced at them, their expression a hint colder. Then they left with Li Xiaomin. Gu Rong also left with his wife.
A heavy silence befell the hall and the air itself seemed to have turned heavier.
"Sigh!" At this moment, a soft sigh echoed. All Elders looked at Gu Ruolan who had stood up.
"Lady Gu…" Several Elders opened their mouths but no words came out.
"I know what you are concerned about." She spoke, her tone and expression normal, "And you are right to be concerned because you have indeed disappointed the Patriarch. I don't blame you though. You are used to the Gu family being weak and thus are habitually careful in everything you do lest you offend someone."
Saying this, she shook her head and sighed, "Though the change our family has undergone was sudden, you should have adapted to it like the Second and the Third Elder."
