章 748: Can't Claim to be Wronged

As Gu Zi drifted into a deep slumber, Su Shen opened his eyes. He tenderly wrapped his arms around her, whispering a soft response into her ear, "Goodnight, my darling."

While Gu Zi's world was filled with sweetness and joy, the atmosphere at the Gu family's grand courtyard was tense enough to suffocate. 

The task that Zhang Mei's elder brother had requested of the Gu family had not been accomplished. Moreover, Zhang Mei discovered that her brother had given her a counterfeit jade pendant. The argument that ensued between the two families had led to a complete breakdown in their relationship. Behind each other's backs, they spared no effort in slandering one another, further tarnishing the Gu family's reputation in the grand courtyard.
