After Mr. Dong Sr. was beaten and sent to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, he was initially left to cool his heels. Now, after meeting the Marquis and hearing about the things his sister had done, he wished he could find a hole in the ground to hide in.
He had no grounds to question others, and instead had to bow his head and apologize cautiously.
Gu Yifeng sat there, took a sip of tea, and then said, "One issue after another keeps happening in the mansion; this isn't the first time. Mrs. Dong is the head mistress, and according to Mother's original idea, she was to be sent back to the Dong Mansion. But Sister Hui pleaded for her mother, so she was sent to the countryside, explaining to the outside world that it was due to her poor health and she needed a retreat to recuperate."
Gu Yifeng's words made it clear that sending Mrs. Dong to the countryside was already an act of mercy; otherwise, she would have been directly divorced.
