However, on the second day after Gu Er's incident, a rumor spread from the Marquis Mansion, and the heavy responsibility of the Gu Family fell on the Dingyuan Marquis.
No one knew where the rumor originated, yet it stirred a great uproar in the Capital.
Upon hearing the rumors, Suyi hurriedly reported to Mrs. Gu Sr., who nodded slightly while half-closing her eyes but didn't say much.
As for Lin Youning, she was completely in the dark. However, on the same day, Lady Lin paid a visit. She first went to Mrs. Gu Sr.'s courtyard and then explained her purpose, which was to take Lin Qining back home. After all, she had stayed in the mansion for a few days, and she mentioned that she would return on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.
