"Shut up," Gu Baijiang hissed. He still harbored hopes of one day returning to the imperial court. Furthermore, since the matter concerning Mrs. Li hadn't spread widely, he could still find a way to smooth it over in the future. Who knew this stupid woman would just blurt it out like this? She was trying to ruin the Gu Family's reputation. How could he tolerate that?
