Gu Ruoxi had a bit of a brain, but not much.
She did not want to offend the other young ladies in the Prime Minister's Estate, nor did she want to leave a bad impression on the Chancellor's Wife. Therefore, she could only vent her anger on her younger half-sister, whom she had always looked down upon. After all, the girl was merely a "servant" to her—someone who came when called and left when dismissed, someone she had never truly cared about.
This long-standing habit was etched into her very bones, causing Gu Ruoxi to reflexively want to lecture her. However, Yun Feiwan was no longer the Yun Feiwan of the past. She would no longer endure such torment, and she knew how to strike back. It was precisely this resistance that filled Gu Ruoxi with resentment—a sense of helplessness that came from losing control over something she had always held in the palm of her hand.
