Ultimately, it was Qiu Xue's connections that spurred this.
Previously, Yan Xiaolan had gained quite some benefits from Qiu Xue, so she kept quiet after eating and took whatever was offered.
With this mindset, Yan Xiaolan took the initiative to attack!
It counted as repaying Qiu Xue a favor.
She had calculated her moves shrewdly, but all of this hinged on her assumption that Gu Tong was easy to bully.
Yan Xiaolan's thinking was simple; she reckoned that Gu Tong wasn't on her side, so she dared to behave like this...
The Duchess, who had stopped Yan Xiaolan for a long time, saw the latter unmoved and had no choice but to give up...
She didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore...
Actually...
Yan Xiaolan had returned to her parents' home a few days ago...
She didn't know what Gu Tong had been up to these days...
Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to provoke her...
