The old granny sent Gu Tong to the door, not forgetting to kindly remind her, fearing that Gu Tong might suffer a loss.
She was already at an advanced age and had seen many unsavory things because her own daughter had taken advantage of her daughter-in-law more than once. What's more, Gu Tong wasn't her real daughter-in-law, so it was inevitable for her to feel out of place in her husband's family.
Of course, if it weren't for this, the old granny wouldn't have said so much.
...
Gu Tong walked forward with unfocused eyes, many past events flashing through her mind. She regretted that in her anger, she had been unwilling to listen to Li Yan, so she neither spoke much nor asked further.
If only she had asked a few more questions back then, perhaps she could have known what would follow much earlier...
She could have connected all the relationships and wouldn't have missed so many clues or been deceived by Qiu Xue's lies.
Ultimately, it was all her fault. Put simply, it was fate.
