Gu Baoshu tilted her neck, grimaced for a while, and couldn't hold back, retorting: "Mother is making a fuss over nothing. What's the big deal? Playing with the Ninth Princess, playing polo with those ladies, we all know these things. I'm just talking about it at home. Can't I mention it in front of my third sister-in-law? She'll eventually go out to meet guests, and who among the families dealing with our Dingbei Marquis Mansion won't know some palace secrets."
Old Madam Gu complained angrily: "I said one thing, and you said a whole bunch. Which family nowadays still talks about the late Empress Dowager or Empress Yuan? The ones living in the deep palace now are Empress Dowager and Empress Lin. Besides, others may speak of such things, but our family cannot."
Gu Baoshu's lips pouted enough to hang a bottle.
