"You all make a good point!" Mrs. Wang naturally favored her son a bit more, so she was pleased that Gu Fangzi was helping ease her son's burden, and she smiled, "In that case, you can bring it up with Fengju tonight!"
"Auntie," Gu Fangzi hesitated slightly, and with a smile said, "Could you perhaps speak with my cousin about this? I'm afraid—"
"Yes, mother!" Shi Yumei also said, "Otherwise, those who don't know might think Fangzi is trying to curry favor, spreading rumors about 'disrespect during the mourning period' and such, wouldn't that damage her reputation? It would be a tragedy to wrong her kind intentions!"
Mrs. Wang ignored Shi Yumei's comment and simply nodded, "Alright, I'll talk to Fengju when he returns!"
"Thank you, Auntie!" Gu Fangzi joyfully stood up to thank her, and with grateful glance at Shi Yumei, they exchanged a smile.
