"Not bad." They seldom met, and their meetings were usually just exchanging a few pleasantries.
"I actually didn't expect your brother to visit me. He just asked me a few questions, confirmed I was okay, and then left. It didn't seem like there was anything special." Gu Xiyao explained to him, as if justifying herself, "I didn't speak much either; I stayed for less than five minutes."
"Hmm, previously Madam did intentionally make things difficult for you. Your brother came to see you, which shows that there's no real rift between us brothers. Besides, the misunderstandings from back then have long passed."
"Madam making things difficult for me is probably because of Little Uncle. Now that I think about it, given Madam's attitude, if my betrothed had been your brother, she might not have agreed either."
"That's not necessarily true."
"Why?" Gu Xiyao maintained a standard gentlewoman's smile while looking at him.
Ning Zesheng glanced at her but remained silent.
