Gu Baijiang's words, Rong Ruiyuan was reluctant to fully trust, as the experiences of the past few days had almost worn out his patience.
"Lord Gu, I am quite fond of your granddaughter and wish to give her a promising future. What do you think?"
"It is the benevolence of Your Highness, but An Tong is still young. Moreover, with her status, I'm afraid she is not even qualified to be a servant by Your Highness's side."
"Lord Gu, what are you saying? She is the only legitimate daughter of the Gu Family. How could this Prince treat her poorly?
I believe even the Emperor would not want his descendants to have too low a status. Please, Lord Gu, wait for my good news."
This is a promise of significant benefits. Gu Baijiang's eyes sparkled, and just as he was about to bow, he pulled on a wound on his body, bringing him back to his senses. Even an imperial pardon would not enable him to return to the officialdom.
