In the backyard of the Mo Family, not only does Mo Beiyan, the Patriarch, have several wives and concubines, but there are also many arranged marriages with other noble families. The Gu Family doesn't really stand out among them.
Yet, she is undoubtedly the First Lady with significant influence within the Mo Clan. Even the elders of the clan respect her, and no other lady dares to use the dirty tricks of the backyard against her. Even the two Grandmasters of the Mo Family are always friendly when they encounter her.
She knows very well that she has all this,
only because of Gu Zhan.
But she is also even more aware that the Gu Family doesn't provide much help to Gu Zhan. Furthermore, she and Gu Zhan have no affection for each other whatsoever, but there is a bond of incense between them,
therefore, though she is a little older than Gu Zhan, she addresses him as brother when she meets him.
