Thinking of this, everyone felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.
What was this woman saying? She claimed they were helping to publicize her status as the Young Madam of the Gu Family.
Now that they thought about it, that was indeed the case.
She herself never said she was the Young Madam of the Gu Family, nor did she mention what her relationship with the young master of the Gu Family was. Since her appearance in the Imperial Capital, she had been known as the foster daughter of the Quan Family.
But who released this news first? If the message hadn’t been so shocking, they certainly wouldn’t have discussed it.
But it was about the renowned young master of the Gu Family, whose name in the Imperial Capital was known by everyone. But even such a Gu Family, and such a young master, suddenly revealed they had married a country woman. Who wouldn’t be curious about the truth of the matter, and even more curious about how such a woman managed to get the young master to willingly marry her?
It was rumored that the boy and girl twins she brought with her were not the young master’s, which means that the marriage between her and the young master was still in question.
"We said you are to look up to you; we only mentioned it casually. You just need to listen to it, don’t truly believe you have become the Young Madam. With your background, without family heritage or talent and having given birth to illegitimate children, the young master must be blind to fancy you. Your manipulations are truly heavy; tell us, did you release this news yourself, just to get the young master to truly marry you?" A lady with a good relationship with Quan Haiyun stood up, speaking rather indignantly on behalf of Gu Yecheng.
In terms of talent and beauty, her daughter was not bad, and her family background was decent. If her daughter like that couldn’t enter the Gu Family, how could Su Xiaofeng possibly do so?
"Right, maybe she released the news herself, deliberately attracting our attention, making everyone talk about her. But she should take a good look at herself in the mirror. Even setting aside her family background, would the Gu Family accept the fact she has children?"
"Of course, the Gu Family cannot accept someone who is not of Gu Family’s blood," a distant relative of the Gu Family said as he walked through the crowd.
"Sister, coming over is Yan Ruolan, Yan Junmei’s cousin," Xiaonian whispered to Xiaofeng, "But she’s not a direct cousin, she’s a paternal cousin."
"How could my sister possibly allow such a woman to enter our home, it’s a joke," Yan Ruolan’s demeanor was even more aggressive than Yan Junmei’s, looking at Xiaofeng’s figure with hostility.
Seeing someone from the Gu Family arriving, everyone’s faces revealed a look of understanding. See, the Gu Family members don’t acknowledge Su Xiaofeng at all, which means the previous news about Su Xiaofeng marrying Gu Yecheng was completely false, a fabrication by someone with ulterior motives.
Listening to their words, Xiaofeng remained noncommittal: "Madam, can you represent the Gu Family, or speak on behalf of Ye Cheng?"
Whether it was true or false was no longer important.
"I am Yecheng’s aunt; you tell me if I can represent the Gu Family, represent Yecheng. Besides, if you say you are the Young Madam of the Gu Family, Yecheng’s wife, we will just believe you. Where’s the evidence?" For marriage, it’s not as simple as just saying so.
They had to see the marriage certificate in black and white to prove it’s not true.
She was certain that the other party could not produce it because she was sure that Junmei would not allow such a woman to enter the Gu Family.
For the Gu Family, this was simply a huge joke.
The marriage certificate was something Xiaofeng could actually present.
She had intended to keep the marriage certificate at Ye Cheng’s place, but Ye Cheng had insisted that she keep her own.
She had stored the marriage certificate in her space; whenever she wanted, she could present the marriage certificate to everyone.
"It’s not impossible if everyone wants to see the evidence," Xiaofeng said with a light smile, her expression calm and composed, with not a hint of anger: "If I can prove my identity, will you all offer me an apology? After all, the words you just said were quite disrespectful, crude, and impolite."
These people considered themselves noble and elegant, but how many could truly claim to be so?
"The marital relationship may be easy to prove, but what about the father-child relationship? If you can prove that your boy and girl twins are of the Gu Family, we will believe you are the Young Madam of the Gu Family. If you can’t, even if you are married to the young master, this marriage will have to end," Jun Ruolan’s daughter, Zhong Shiqi, said as she approached Ruolan: "What we are truly concerned about is not your marriage to the young master, but whether the children you brought are born to you and the young master."
