In a Relationship With the Empress (1)

The tension within the Gu Mansion was palpable and couldn't be ignored. There was no sound in the house, yet everyone was moving, moving and not talking. They followed the old butler inside the Gu Mansion in silence, with Tang Moyu pushing Qin Jiran's chair with a stiff posture. 

As much as she didn't want to get involved in Gu Yuyao's family issues, she also couldn't just sit idly in Shenzhen knowing nothing about her friend's situation. It was also suspicious that Gu Yuyao never returned her calls. 

"Relax. There's nothing to worry about, Moyu." Qin Jiran turned to face her and patted her hand. Tang Moyu pressed her lips together and nodded in response. 

Beside her, He Lianchen's face hardened to a stony mask. He couldn't understand why Gu Yuyao had to face her family alone. Why couldn't she rely on him more?
