Gu Tong didn't know exactly what the rules were here, but Mo Ruoqing's meaning was already very clear!
And that was to destroy Gu Tong by implication, because of a previous remark by Gong Chenli, which gave her a sense of crisis, so she used this way to humiliate Gu Tong, additionally making sure she had no chance to contest!
Mo Ruoqing's existence was difficult to classify, and Gu Tong did not know whether she had a special relationship with Gong Chenli.
However, Gu Tong also understood that she was afraid of others replacing her!
Although Gu Tong had little contact with Gong Chenli, she could keenly observe his traits, the most obvious being his obsession with cleanliness.
After grabbing the steward's hand, he needed to wipe his hands, and after returning to Xinyuan, he also needed to wipe his hands, which was enough to show the extent of his cleanliness; anything that had been touched by others, he absolutely would not touch again.
