Chapter 320: The Concubine

Zhou Huaijin rarely got off the wagon with her before.

For one thing, Yan did not have the intention of revealing her relations.h.i.+p before she entered Saint College, and for another, she did not want the Gu Mansion to use him as a supporter so that they could commit terrible things. However, now Yan managed to enter Saint College smoothly and Lord Ling insisted on marrying her half sister, so Zhou Huaijin was worried that Gu Zhenkang would treat Yan terribly, since he was not aware of what happened.

Although Sword One could keep Yan safe he still did not want Yan to be sad over some matters. At least with him around, the Gu Family would think twice before they did something.

The guards of the Gu Mansion all got frightened at the sight of Zhou Huaijin. They kneeled down and greeted him instantly.

Seeing the scene, Gu Chaoyan smiled at him. “Here I am, just go home and do your own business.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded. “I will see you.”

Gu Chaoyan walked in with Qing. However, Zhou Huaijin did not get into the wagon and leave until he saw her disappearing.

The guards did not dare to get up until Zhou Huaijin climbed into the wagon. Then they exchanged a look with each other as if something huge had happened.

What fortune did the Gu Mansion run into these days? Lords kept coming to this place!

In the meanwhile, the guards all understood that they should treat the ladies at the mansion nicely – they might have a promising future!

Before Gu Chaoyan could reach the Qiong Pavilion, she was stopped by Chen Fu. “Elder Miss, Old Master is asking for you. Both of the young masters are home.”

They were at home? She missed the news.

She thought that maybe Sword One did not pa.s.s on the message so as not to disturb her. Well, that was not something important either.

She nodded and started to walk towards the front yard.

This time, Chen Fu was leading her to Gu Zhenkang’s study. It was the first time for her to visit the study, and the moment she walked in, she spotted Gu Yunhe seated there arrogantly.

He threw a glance at Gu Chaoyan, looking indifferent.

“I am asking for you to tell you one thing.” Instead of telling her to sit down or saying anything nice, Gu Zhenkang cut directly to the topic. If the maid had not been Lord Huai’s man, Gu Zhenkang would not have wasted the time in speaking with her now.

Gu Chaoyan nodded and stood there calmly. She had no idea what Gu Zhenkang was up to, but it could not be something good.

“Your brother has had a hard time at the boundary these years, and he should get married now, since he is no longer young, but we are not an ordinary mansion nowadays, and your brother needs to be careful about the legal wife. However, we had a discussion that he can get a concubine first.” Gu Zhenkang narrated the whole story for the sake of Lord Huai.

Gu Chaoyan frowned slightly. Why was she involved with Gu Yunhe’s marriage?

Gu Chaoyan did not answer a thing.

Gu Zhenkang did not wait for her to answer him. In his heart, what Gu Chaoyan was thinking did not matter at all. He was just informing her.

“Your brother likes your maid Sword One. You were absent, so the whole thing was postponed. Now you are back, we are telling you that we can ask Chen Fu to get the whole thing done. That girl is just a maid, but she is Lord Huai’s present, so even if she is a concubine, the Gu Mansion would still treat her well.”
