Chapter 326: Back to the College
Then he understood it all. Chaoyan was reminding him what to pay attention to and what to do. He only had one maid working for him at the yard, and no one else was with him, but the maid barely obeyed his order.
His brother was different, on the other hand. The moment his brother came home, his father already got him guards. His brother always had some men with him, and his father was still helping him to recruit more staff.
His father was never going to prepare these things for him. So he had to fight for whatever he needed himself.
Gu Yunxuan expressed his grat.i.tude. “I got it now, really!”
Gu Chaoyan, Sword One and Qing started to head towards the Qiong Pavilion.
When they were a distance away from Gu Yunxuan’s yard, Sword One asked. “Miss, aren’t you going to help the Second Young Master? We can tell the Lord if he needs some job. The Lord can definitely offer him a proper job! In that way, he doesn’t have to work for that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Elder Young Master!”
Sword One was indeed annoyed. She felt that there was something wrong with Gu Zhenkang’s head and judgement.
He did not like Elder Miss, who was nice and friendly. He did not like the Second Young Master, who was nice and friendly too. Instead he preferred that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Elder Young Master! Honestly, what was he thinking?
“I am definitely going to help him.” Gu Chaoyan said, “But not that directly. I would like to see what Second Brother is going to do himself, and only when I know what he is going to do himself, will I be able to know how I can help him along the way.”
Sword One was not a straightforward person, but she understood clearly what Gu Chaoyan meant.
Elder Miss was going to offer help later. So she did not talk about that any more.
As they went back to the Qiong Pavilion, Gu Chaoyan asked Qing to get down to other work. Then she turned to Sword One. “Did you find anything strange about Chen Fu?”
As she was talking about this, Sword One shook her head regretfully. She had been focusing on that man these days.
“Not really. The only strange thing is that there was one time, when he came to the Qiong Pavilion late at night. However, he did not walk close to the Qiong Pavilion, but watched the house from a distance away.” Sword One answered.
“From a distance away?” Gu Chaoyan looked confused.
Sword One nodded resolutely. She could not have been mistaken – that was indeed the silhouette of Chen Fu.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She did not tell her to continue with the watch.
She still did not give up on Chen Fu, but she thought that if Sword One failed to find anything strange about him, then it might not be that easy to find out something after all.
So she had to wait.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival...
It was time for the students of Saint College to return to the school.
Gu Chaoyan did not see Gu Ruxue from the moment she started to pack, until the moment she finished packing. It was Chen Fu who told her on the way to Saint College that the Second Lady had been at the Lord Ling’s Mansion, and Lord Ling would keep her company to Saint College personally.
Only now did Gu Chaoyuan realize that Gu Ruxue was not at all at the mansion.
What was more, Lord Ling not only invited Gu Ruxue to the Lord Ling, but also Mrs. Gu who also spent some time at the mansion too.
Hearing the news, Gu Chaoyan did not pay attention to that at all. She did not believe that the fortune-teller’s story about getting the world was real. It sounded so childish.
“Here you are, Elder Miss!”
