Mrs. Gu Sr. remained silent but did not look at her son, only turning her gaze elsewhere.
Having lived to this age, what could she not know, and what could she not understand?
However, just letting go and lowering her head like this was truly difficult.
In all her life, to whom had Mrs. Gu Sr. ever lowered her head? Didn't she push through when all the men in the mansion were gone, under the watchful eyes of outsiders?
Now, she only wanted to bring a concubine into the mansion for her son, yet it proved to be so difficult. Mrs. Gu Sr. took a deep breath, "Fine, you don't want to bring her into the mansion, then I will grant your wish. But there is one thing I must clarify. Was it you who spread the word outside that no women should enter our Marquis Mansion? Just tell me the truth, don't hold anyone else accountable. I could trace it back slowly, it's not impossible to find out, but I don't wish to waste the effort now, so just speak freely and do not deceive me."
