The next day, more people came to pay their respects. Gu Shiyan, dressed in mourning attire, knelt behind Gu Qingci.
Around noon, Ji Beizhou, Ji Beiyuan, Ji Beichen, and the Sixth Prince Ji Beichi arrived together to offer condolences to Madam Gu. Gu Jingwen stood up to greet them, and the group entered the mourning hall. Except for the Sixth Prince, the gazes of the other princes fell on Gu Shiyan.
Gu Shiyan remained kneeling, keeping her head low and not looking at anyone, displaying an exceptionally obedient appearance. Gu Jingwen calmly observed the scene, his eyes flickering slightly. It seemed that Shi'er had a promising future...
After the princes finished paying their respects, they prepared to leave. "Shi'er, see off the distinguished guests on my behalf," Gu Jingwen said, glancing at Gu Shiyan.
Gu Shiyan knew that he was creating an opportunity for her.
