The whole story unraveled like this, and after hearing it, everyone remained silent for a long while.
It truly was more riveting than a fabricated tale.
Gu Wu recounted the story publicly, and it spread so swiftly that it wasn't long before the whole city knew of it.
Opinions varied.
Some sympathized with Gu Wu, because he said he and his sister-in-law were mutually affectionate, but due to the order of seniority, since his elder brother hadn't married yet, as younger brothers, they could only wait in line. As a result of fate, the girl he liked became his sister-in-law.
Everyone could understand this rule, as it applied to every family. Unless the elder brother had special circumstances causing him to remain unmarried for life, only then would parents arrange marriages for younger siblings.
