Chapter 481: Coming with Wind and Snow 7_1
Zhilan He nodded knowingly, listening to Zhou Chenyue describe how Gu En was surrounded by members of the Gu and Lan families. She glanced over there again, watching as people fawned over Gu En, practically pushing her to the sky. Zhilan He’s heart began to sink, piece by piece.
"Chenyue, are you very familiar with what’s going on in Gu En’s family?"
Zhou Chenyue chuckled and shook her head, "Even though I have been staying in this courtyard since I was over ten years old, who can be sure they really understand the others who live here, regardless of how well they seem to get along? Who doesn’t have secrets they’re afraid others will find out?"
Hearing Zhou Chenyue’s words, He Zhilan was reminded of the couplet in Grandfather Gu’s study again.
Gu En’s mother is from the Lan family and his father is from the Gu family. In Grandfather Gu’s study, there is a birthday couplet that she wrote when she was a child. Is it that Gu En’s family and her family are close, so they gifted the couplet to Grandfather Gu, or...
That Gu En’s family is also her family, Gu Zhilan?
"Zhilan, my brother is calling me over there. I’m sure he wants me to act obediently again and entertain the guests. Don’t move around too much while you’re sitting. I’ll be back after a while!" There, Zhou Hongjin was waving at Zhou Chenyue from a distance. After Chenyue nodded towards him, she instructed He Zhilan a few times before leaving.
"Okay." He Zhilan nodded and watched Zhou Chenyue go greet the elders with a forced smile. Her thoughts were still revolving around the couplet.
