Gu Baijiang cursed Gu Antong countless times in his head, wondering why her momentary jealousy had to bring such massive trouble to the family.
He regretted cleaning up her mess back then. It was just a torn skirt; could dealing with that have been harder than being stuck in this impossible dilemma?
Now, to protect her, he had to grit his teeth and take the hit for this terrible debt.
The Third Prince was also very cold-hearted. Gu Baijiang had done so much for him, even risking his entire family, yet the prince wouldn't even help settle a mere few thousand taels of silver.
He knew clearly that the prince was suspecting him, but he couldn't voice his grievances.
If he hadn't lost that sum of silver, he wouldn't be forced to live such a miserable and suffocating life.
Instead, the Third Prince would have had to butter him up, this old man, for that silver.
