Gu Ruhai was also taken aback.
Startled by what Gu Xiaoqing said.
These words came from a twelve-year-old child, yet they spoke a genuine truth. The second and third siblings didn't do as much as he did, but their lives were still going well.
Their reputations weren't ruined in any significant way.
In contrast, I've always been worried about this and that, but my reputation, well, I'm not unaware of what people say behind my back.
I've already been labeled as a fool.
The whole family has been branded as a silent and daft family.
All of this is the result of my actions over the years.
Actually, my daughter is right, reputation is a matter of one's actions being observed by the heavens.
As long as I have a clear conscience, why should I care about others' opinions?
Take our Xiaoqing, for instance. People may say she's bold, but for her family, her siblings, and for us parents, she's genuinely thinking for the good of the family.
She doesn't hide her intentions at all.
