Facing dozens of major ministers and key figures in Country C, Gu Xiaoer spoke with clarity and strength, appearing not like a gentle pregnant mother but rather a decisive second Qin Xun.
Many glanced at Ling Siyao's expression, then at Gu Xiaoer, wisely choosing to remain silent, saying nothing.
Only a few loyalists dared to speak up.
Minister of Finance Ji Zhong looked at Ling Siyao, then turned to Gu Xiaoer and said.
"Miss Gu, today's meeting was determined by Master Qin himself, no longer a private matter of the Qin Family. We are all ready for the meeting, yet Master Qin himself didn't show up, which is inexplicable. You say he's unwell, but Master Qin has always been in good health, why would he suddenly be unwell at this crucial moment?"
Is he making excuses, or is there another reason?
The remainder goes unsaid, but everyone understands.
