1491 Pear Yard 1

Chen Fu was still bowing to her. She had almost forgotten when Chen Fu became like this in front of her.

Actually, she could tell that Chen Fu was not having a good time these days. Rather, after Madam Gu pa.s.sed away, Chen Fu had lost the position of being the housekeeper. Both Gu Ruxue and Gu Zhenkang hit him and he was not considered someone important.

Sword Three did look into Chen Fu’s background. He did not have a contract with the Gu Mansion, so it meant that he could leave the Gu Mansion whenever he wanted. So what on earth made him stay?

She could not see through Chen Fu, so she asked Sword Three to continue to look into him.

!!

Gu Chaoyan was not looking at him sharply. Instead, she was just sizing Chen Fu up casually, without saying much.

However, Chen Fu got anxious. He asked. “Elder Miss, have you made up your mind which yard to take? So that I can ask the staff to work on it.”

Gu Chaoyan stopped looking, sipped her tea and said with reluctance. “Pear Yard.”

Pear Yard?

Chen Fu looked quite surprised, but soon he regained his composure.

Begonia Yard was one of the good yards in the Gu Mansion, but not the best. Madame Gu was in the highest position when Gu Mansion was built, so everyone, including the Old Master, respected her. And Madame Gu should be granted with the best yard according to the Saint Divine Land’s rules. So Pear Yard came into being with a lot of effort.

It was not until a long while later, when Madam Gu had the stroke that the Pear Yard became empty for a long while before Mrs. Gu took it over.

So…

It was very reasonable that Elder Miss asked for the yard. However… he was not sure whether Old Master and Mrs. Gu would agree to it.

Any other yards could be arranged by Chen Fu differently, but Pear Yard was another issue.

“Elder Miss.”

“What?” Seeing that Chen Fu did not agree directly, Gu Chaoyan sank into her voice.

“I may need to talk with the Old Master about this.” Chen Fu said quietly, “Mrs. Gu is living there, so I can’t make the decision myself.”

“Oh.” Gu Chaoyan said expressionlessly, “But you think it is reasonable that I ask to live there?”

Chen Fu was wearing a very complicated look on his face.

A long while later, he lowered his head and said, “I will ask the Old Master about this.”

Then he left with his body half bent.

Gu Chaoyan did not stop him.

She just sighed quietly.

Sword One continued to serve Gu Chaoyan tea.

A while later, Gu Zhenkang rushed in and asked agitatedly, “You want Pear Yard?”

Gu Chaoyan answered with a nod without hesitation. “Yeah.”

Gu Zhenkang looked very embarra.s.sed.

He knew that Gu Chaoyan was up to something. He had not thought about this before, because he thought that she was asking for other yards or Qiong Pavilion or anything else, but she was aiming at Pear Yard!

However, she was the junior member of the family!
