"You're an official, and even you can't think of a solution. How could I, a mere woman, have any ideas?" Lady Gu replied. Perhaps due to Lian Shouren marrying Yingzi, Lady Gu seemed less proactive today in offering strategies for him.
"No wonder the Old Master keeps a tight rein on you. The Old Master has lived his whole life with integrity, without a single flaw. The Old Master stands tall and speaks firmly. Compared to him, everyone else's faults are glaring." After a while, Lady Gu spoke again, praising Old Master Lian's upright character in every sentence.
The couple had been together for years and knew each other's habits well.
