"Simple, just part ways! We merchants don't bother with these ridiculous rules!" Zhuang Weixian blurted out, realizing only after he spoke that something was amiss; sizing him up curiously, he couldn't help but ask, "What's with you today? You're not talking about yourself, are you? You and Miss Gu—"
Shi Fengju remained silent, tacitly affirming Zhuang Weixian's words.
Zhuang Weixian chuckled, "If that's the case, why did you bring her into the home? After all, she is your cousin; how could you bear to see her get treated poorly?"
Shi Fengju shook his head, "She insisted on it; there's not much I could say!" He thought of how Gu Fangzi wept and threw tantrums aggressively, and a wave of revulsion washed over Shi Fengju.
Although Zhuang Weixian was quite curious, he knew better than to pry further and said with a smile, "Well, if she insisted on it, what's there to dwell on? Just let her stay; it's not like the Shi family can't afford to host one hundred more like her!"
