“I’m worried that in the long-term, this will upset Second Aunt, and that will make things difficult for Second Uncle and Second Cousin.

“Fourth Cousin is coming back soon. Then there will be even more people living there. Fourth Cousin is so rich, and he is starting his own business. The contrast will make Third Uncle’s family seem even more disadvantaged.”

Large families were most wary of imbalance!

The two old folks of the Gu family had already tried their best to be impartial to all their children and grandchildren. If they were biased, then they were only slightly biased towards Gu Qingyao.

But she was a girl after all, and besides Gu Fangting, Gu Qingyao was the only young girl in the family. She had lived with the old folks since she was a young girl, and they had watched her grow up, so it was natural that she was closer to them.

But their children and grandchildren had different levels of capabilities, and slowly, the gap between them would grow increasingly apparent.

It was clear that in the Gu family, Second Uncle’s family was now the most powerful.

Second Uncle held an important position and had entered the upper echelons of society. Second Cousin was his heir. At a young age, he was already cutting a striking figure among the younger generation. Fourth Cousin had just returned home from studying overseas and would soon start his own business. When that happened, he would certainly attract a lot of attention.

One might say that Second Uncle’s family would not lack for either wealth or power in the future.

Oldest Uncle’s family was slightly inferior to Second Uncle’s family, but Oldest Cousin was doing fairly well and had won a place for himself. She heard that his wife was a good manager. Their household expenses were heavy now, and when she saw that the family was beginning to fall behind, she began thinking of starting a business too.

As long as someone was capable, the family would certainly help them. It would not be hard for Oldest Cousin’s wife to make a little money.

As for her father, the Qiao family’s wealth alone was enough to set him apart. Besides, his daughter was incredibly wealthy.

She was the mistress of the Mo family. As long as she, his daughter, was around, Gu Yunshen would always hold a high position in the capital.

But Third Uncle’s family…

Mo Beihan smiled. “You’re right to worry. But Yao Yao, you’ve already married and left the family. If you want to interfere with your family affairs, you must be wary. Otherwise, you might make things worse!”

Gu Qingyao said, “I know! I’m not saying I will certainly interfere, but I can’t help being anxious. It would be all right if I had not noticed, but now that I’ve noticed… I don’t want any unhappiness among the cousins.”

Mo Beihan stroked her head. “All right, if you really can’t stop worrying, you can think of a way to drop Third Cousin a hint. Besides, you shouldn’t underestimate your Second Aunt! She’s not easily bullied.”

Everyone in Second Uncle’s family was not to be trifled with. Otherwise, they would not be progressing so well in the capital. Old Master Mo had chosen Second Uncle’s family for a reason when he first decided to groom the Gu family.

Gu Qingyao thought about it. “It’s true. I’ll wait and see! Second Aunt will probably settle the matter herself. I’m just afraid that it will cause unhappiness and upset Grandfather and Grandma.”

Mo Beihan held Gu Qingyao’s hand. “Yao Yao, you’re pregnant now, and you’re a little more emotional. In the past, you would not be so upset over this.”

Gu Qingyao was startled. “Really?”

Mo Beihan nodded. “A little. Pregnant women must not be upset. Don’t spend all your time worrying about this and that. Second Uncle’s family are all very intelligent. If you can sense it, then as the people involved, they will certainly have sensed it. Don’t worry too much!

“We’ll just think of a way to drop Third Cousin a hint, all right?”

Gu Qingyao pursed her lip. Was she really affected?

She must remain rational and not meddle in her family affairs.
