Liu Yun felt even more bitterness within. If she had known the Gu Family would face such a day, she would have humbled herself to please the wife, even if she couldn't secure the entire Gu Mansion's innocence, she would at least try to save her two children from suffering.
"Quickly find someone to relay a message back, as long as they help our Gu Family through this crisis, I will ensure Kai Ping follows your father's lead, with the Wei Hou Mansion's support." Xu Huizhen grasped at what seemed like a lifeline. If the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion would truly speak up on their behalf, there might still be room for negotiation.
"Mother, you know I am just a concubine's daughter, and with the Marquis Mansion in decline, my brother has no influence before His Majesty."
"How can you know unless you try?" Xu Huizhen felt Liu Yun was merely making excuses, not having tried yet to say it couldn't be done, "You should think not only for yourself but also for Tong Er and Anliang."
