How Could You Bear to?

Perhaps the Gu couple never had a profound understanding of the original owner. To them, she was merely a tool for gaining praise and benefits. People wouldn't delve deep into a tool whose purpose was already clear.

As for Lin Miao, Gu Zi was even more confused. How could she defend her uncle's family?

In the original book, Lin Miao had been bullied by her uncle's family since she was a child, and was often taken advantage of by Lin Jie in private. Yet, she was willing to put aside past grievances to defend them?

Gu Zi felt that Lin Miao was indeed as patient as the villagers said.

At this point, Gu Zi found the situation amusing and didn't bother to refute anything. If she was not kind, then so be it.
