Madame Gu clicked her cane and looked at Gu Zhenkang with displeasure. “What happened to Mrs. Lin was because of her naive actions. She was just a girl from a business family...” As she spoke of this, Madame Gu felt a bit worried inwardly. “Just forget it...”
“..l..”
“Don’t ever mention what happened before. Chaoyan knows nothing about it, and what could she do even if she ever finds out the truth?”
“...”
“She is a girl who needs the help of the Gu Family. Do you think that she would ever defend herself against the Gu Family just because of her business-family born mother?” Madame Gu smiled with confidence. It would not be possible.
Hearing what Madam Gu said Gu Zhenkang felt a bit calmer. Those words made sense.
If that was the case, Gu Zhenkang knew what he should do. “Mom, don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Madame Gu nodded with satisfaction.
Her son might be weak and dependent, but he was, after all, obedient.
Now she was in control of the Gu Mansion, but soon she would become too old to take care of anything. Now her eldest grandson Yunhe and grandson Yunxun could give a hand too, so she did not have to be too worried.
As she thought of the Gu Mansion’s future, Madame Gu was indeed glad. Everything seemed to go forward in a very smooth way, and that made her really pleased.
The mother and the son had a long discussion in the front yard. Then Chen Fu came back in a hurry.
Seeing Chen Fu, Madame Gu looked surprised too. Didn’t he go to the Lord Huai’s Mansion? What was he doing here so fast?
“Stop kneeling, just get up and tell us what happened? Did you go to Lord Huai’s Mansion? What did they say?” Madame Gu asked anxiously. It was a matter of honor for the Gu Mansion, so it was important.
Chen Fu was panting. He wanted to get up too, but he couldn’t. His legs were shivering.
Oh god! He just went to Lord Huai’s Mansion, and he got to speak with the housekeeper! And the housekeeper was treating him nicely too!
As the housekeeper of the Gu Family, Chen Fu had never expected that he could get such a great treatment ever in his life.
His legs were collapsing.
“Madame Gu... I did...”
“...”
“The housekeeper said that our miss is injured and the imperial doctor says that she needs to take a long break. So Miss is staying at Lord Huai’s Mansion these next few days...”
“...”
“Miss will be home in a couple of days.” Chen Fu said as his teeth clattered.
Madame Gu got so excited that the cane fell out of her hand.
Gu Zhenkang picked it up quickly. “What is it, mom?”
Madame Gu accepted the cane and said with an excited smile. “Nothing... just very glad.”
“...”
“Zhenkang, have Chaoyan’s Qiong Pavilion cleaned these days and ask Mrs. Gu to do it.” As they were talking, Madame Gu suddenly thought that the Qiong Pavilion was way too broken to get cleaned properly. So she said, “Forget it, pick a better yard for her, sort it out and let her move to the front yard when she returns.”
“Okay.” Gu Zhenkang said with an understanding tone.
“Also, ask Mrs. Gu to get ready and tell the backyard that the whole family should go and greet Chaoyan on the day of her return.”
Madame Gu was slightly satisfied as she said this.
Oh man... She was coming home from Lord Huai’s Mansion!
Princess Gu had been the only woman of the family who had gotten such a treatment. However, Princess Gu had never bought any profits for the Gu Mansion.
That was what Madam Gu was regretful about.
Hopefully, Chaoyan could make a difference.
