"Gu Qinlian's personality is always impatient and reckless." Gu Qinlan shook his head slightly, with a hint of blame in his tone, but more of helplessness.

Gu Qinxuan carefully added: "Cousin, you are always so gentle, not as impetuous as them."

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Maybe, but I always feel that sometimes a proper amount of excitement is also necessary."

The two walked and talked, Gu Qinxuan would occasionally sneak a peek at Gu Qinlan's expression, only to see that she always had a calm smile on her face, as if all the disputes in the world had nothing to do with her.

"Cousin, are you really not angry?" Gu Qinxuan couldn't help but ask.

Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "What if I get angry? They are just children with tempers. If I get angry, wouldn't that lower my status?"

A trace of admiration flashed in Gu Qinxuan's eyes. Her cousin's magnanimity was indeed beyond their reach.

As they were talking, the two came to a corner of the garden, where there was an exquisite pavilion with two stone benches. Gu Qinlan walked straight to the stone bench and sat down, and Gu Qinxuan followed.

"Cousin, do you think someone will gossip about us if we go to watch the fun?" Gu Qinxuan asked with some concern.

Gu Qinlan smiled softly: "It is their right to gossip, we just need to do our best. Besides, the more they gossip, the more we will stand out."

Gu Qinxuan's eyes flashed with understanding, bit her lip, and couldn't help but look up and asked, "Cousin, do you want to join in the fun with my third sister and her husband?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a calm expression between her eyebrows: "It doesn't hurt to go and have a look. After all, there are not many good shows like this."

Gu Qinxuan's eyes flashed with joy, and she said hurriedly: "Since my cousin is willing to go, I am willing to accompany you."

Gu Qinlan looked at Gu Qinxuan, a hint of deep meaning flashed in her eyes. She gently patted Gu Qinxuan's hand and smiled, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

The two walked towards the gate together. Along the way, Gu Qinxuan followed Gu Qinlan carefully, feeling both excited and nervous.

Just after turning around the Chaoshou Gallery, Gu Qinlan quietly pulled Gu Qinxuan over and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?"

Gu Qinxuan was stunned and nervous, but she still mustered up the courage to answer: "Cousin, I know that my previous behavior made you a little unhappy, but I did it to build a good relationship with you so that I can marry a good family in the future and change my destiny. I know that what I did was a little inappropriate, but I really have no other choice."

Gu Qinlan looked at Gu Qinxuan, a complex expression flashed in her eyes, and she sighed softly: "I know it's not easy for you, but you have to learn to be more cautious in the future and don't let anyone catch you."

Gu Qinxuan nodded quickly: "Cousin, I will remember your teachings."

Gu Qinlan frowned, looked at Gu Qinxuan, sighed, and said, "I know the pain in your heart, but you also have to understand that I have a special status and it is not appropriate for me to interfere too much in the affairs of the mansion."

Gu Qinxuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she heard that, but she soon regained her composure. She smiled gently and said, "Princess, I understand your difficulties. I don't expect you to make the decision for me, but I just hope you can give me some guidance at the critical moment."

Gu Qinlan looked at Gu Qinxuan with a hint of admiration in her eyes. Although this woman was in a difficult situation, she was determined and had her own ideas. She pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you, but you have to remember that everything should be based on the overall situation."

After hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Gu Qinxuan's eyes.

Although Gu Qinlan knew that Gu Qinxuan had plans, she did not dislike her. Instead, she felt that this woman was smart and had great potential.

She also understood that in this intrigue-filled Gu family, Gu Qinxuan, as a concubine's daughter, did not have an easy life. Her stepmother still mocked her and her marriage was still unsettled.

Gu Qinlan saw it all and felt pain in his heart. He secretly decided to arrange a good marriage for Gu Qinxuan no matter what.

She looked at Gu Qinxuan and said seriously, "Qinxuan, I plan to arrange a marriage for you. Do you have any ideas?"

Gu Qinxuan was stunned for a moment, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she said: "Cousin, I just hope to find someone who is truly kind to me."

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will find it for you."

Gu Qinlan and Gu Qinxuan came to the gate hand in hand, and saw a very beautiful young woman holding two children on her left and right, crying, with pleading and despair in her eyes.

Gu Qinlian stood at the threshold with a cold gaze and an angry face.

Hu Qingrong hugged the child tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, please have mercy and let me marry Ji Yinli. Even if I have to be your maid, I am willing. These two children are his flesh and blood. Please bring them into the mansion and let the children have a place to stay."

Gu Qinlian's face became even more furious when she heard this. She took a step forward, glared at Hu Qingrong, and asked sternly, "Where did this vixen come from? How dare you cry in front of my Ji Mansion? These two kids are clearly imposters!"

Hu Qingrong's face was pale and tears rolled down her cheeks. She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to hold back the tears.

Although Gu Qinlian's words were harsh, she couldn't refute them, otherwise it would only make the situation worse.

"Madam, I know that I am of humble status, but these two children are indeed Ji Yinli's. Please show mercy for the children's sake!" Hu Qingrong pleaded.

Gu Qinlian snorted coldly, her eyes revealing disdain: "Low status? Do you know the rules of my Ji Mansion? Since you have had an affair with Ji Yinli, you should know the consequences. Do you think you can impress me with these two children? Dream on!"

Hu Qingrong's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. She hugged the child tightly and tears burst out again.

What Gu Qinlian said was not without reason, but she really couldn't bear to see her child wandering outside and suffering.

Ji Yinli on the side frowned, his eyes lingered on Hu Qingrong and the child for a moment, then turned to Gu Qinlian. His face instantly became as gloomy as water, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

"Madam, why are you doing this?" Ji Yinli's voice was low and there was a hint of fatigue in his tone.

Gu Qinlian's eyes widened, she couldn't believe her ears. She originally thought that Ji Yinli would vent his anger for her and teach Hu Qingrong and the child a lesson, but she didn't expect him to be so indifferent.

Ji Yinli snorted, rudely pushed Gu Qinlian away, and said in a deep voice: "These two children are mine, they are the bloodline of the Ji family."

Gu Qinlian was stunned by Ji Yinli's behavior. She couldn't believe that this man who had been so considerate to her would push her away so coldly. Anger surged in her heart, tears flashed in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Ji Yinli, why do you have a mistress? Why did you give birth to a child without telling me? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ji Yinli looked at Gu Qinlian, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Qinlian, I know I am sorry for you, but I cannot deny that these two children are mine. They are my blood, and I have the responsibility to protect them."
