Gu Shiliu chimed in playfully from the side, "Isn't that so? We just finished here, and the Marchioness over there has also made her arrangements."
The Marquis laughed proudly, "Then keep a close eye on Xiao Hong and Hong Ye; there's no telling how many things from the main house you might learn."
Gu Shiliu laughed too, "It always comes back to the Marquis."
He went on, still smiling, "Hong Ye sometimes tells me a few things, but not much. When those two get together, it's mostly to talk about Young Master Cheng and Miss Yu."
The Marquis said, "Let them be, those two children…"
He paused, then didn't continue.
Gu Shiliu understood immediately.
Neither Old Madam Gu nor the Marquis ever spoke again about punishing the two children, nor did they insist on apologizing to Brother Qi; it wasn't favoritism, but disappointment.
Most likely, once the mansion is established, the Marquis will find a way to settle these two children.
