Qin Yuan sighed and said, "Have Lady Zhao's two children come?"
Gu Jinghui scrutinized her expression closely but couldn't discern anything, so he asked, "How did you guess?"
"When Mr. and Mrs. Qian came, I thought it was them, but I didn't expect they'd just arrive now. Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Qian said something that provoked Lady Zhao."
Qin Yuan laughed as she spoke and said, "Didn't you say you wanted Mr. and Mrs. Qian to help you clear your name outside and also said you would give Lady Zhao a dowry?"
Mr. Qian, as shrewd as he is, originally wanted to swallow his pride to keep Bai Que in the mansion. Upon hearing Marquis Gu's implications, he immediately decided to take Bai Que away.
How could he swallow this in vain? When taking Bai Que away, he would certainly break relations with Lady Zhao to show his loyalty.
Gu Jinghui was taken aback and smiled bitterly, "You're still the clever one. I hadn't thought of that layer."
