Gu'er shook her head, pulled Sun Jiaming away, and left Zhou Duo'er's shouts behind them until they faded into silence.
That evening, Gu'er went to see Lin Shuying and asked her to pass a message to Li Hua: let Zhou Feng'er get married. Since she was already pregnant and wanted to marry Zhang Da, she should be allowed to live the life she had chosen. Everyone has to pay the price for their own decisions.
The reason she didn't go see Li Hua herself was to avoid watching her mother cry, which would only upset her as well.
Lin Shuying sighed but said nothing.
"Aunt, could you have a word with Master Qin Dali? Tell him my mom is going through a rough time. If he's free, ask him to help her out, to spend more time with her and help her through this wedding. Once this is all over, and after the New Year, if they're both still interested, they should just get married."
