"Auntie! Please don't say that! After all, she's a relative from my sister's natal family!" Gu Fangzi hurriedly tried to persuade her, pausing before adding in a low voice: "Sister has been devoted in serving you, Auntie, and has also taken good care of cousin. Even if she hasn't made great contributions, she has worked hard. Auntie, you should at least save some face for sister!"
Mrs. Wang let out a long sigh, her irritation dissipating somewhat for no apparent reason. Holding Gu Fangzi's hand, she lamented, "Fang'er, you are always so considerate of others! Sang Wan treats you like this, yet you are still wholeheartedly sincere towards her, truly rare! Ah, if Sang Wan had your kind of magnanimity, the dispute between you and Fengju wouldn't have lingered on till now—" Mrs. Wang regretted mentioning this at the wrong time and coughed to silence herself.
