In the hall of the front yard, the guards, instead of following the rules of telling the housekeeper Chen Fu about the message, rushed into the hall. “Madame Gu!”
“What is it? Where are your manners?!” Gu Zhenkang bellowed displeasedly.
The guards were not supposed to enter the hall without telling the housekeeper, who was supposed to tell the masters and mistresses first. That was the rule. So at this moment, Gu Zhenkang was very displeased seeing that the housekeeper rushed in and broke the rules. The Gu Mansion was not like before, rules mattered very much!
Madame Gu did not think about this deeply. She understood that when the guard failed to follow the rules, he must be confronted with something important. “Spill it, what is going on?”
The guard calmed himself down after being lectured. “It is Lord Huai and his men. They are now at the gate of the Gu Mansion!”
“What?!” Madame Gu dropped her cane. Cai Ming went to pick it up and gave it back to Madame Gu.
Madame Gu clicked the cane against the ground excitedly.
“Tell everyone to get out of their room and go to greet Lord Huai!” Madame Gu got so excited that she flushed vividly, standing up just to greet Lord Huai.
Within a few seconds the front yard got chaotic.
Messengers went about to pass on the information, and some others were making preparations.
Gu Zhenkang also started to think about how to thank Lord Huai for taking care of his lineal daughter.
He even started to consider that with Lord Huai standing by his side, he would soon leave his current position and get promoted directly all the way to the 3rd rank, or even the 2nd!
By that time, he would very much like to see what expression those who once bullied him and laughed at him in his old workplace would have on their face.
Within one quarter’s time, everyone at the Gu Mansion showed up. Including Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue who barely showed and some concubines who never got to visit the front yard.
Madame Gu led the team and came to the gate of the Gu Mansion with all of the members of the Gu Mansion. Then they kneeled down at the sight of the purple-clothed man on horse-back, saying, “Greetings Lord Huai, wish you a very long life.”
The voice sounded very sturdy.
Zhou Huaijin glanced at these people. He had intended to make them stand on their knees for a longer time, before he decided to hold the plan for later use. He waved his hand. “Just get up.”
As he was speaking, he hopped off the horse and walked towards the wagon. “Come out please, Yan.”
The way he addressed Yan made Gu Zhenkang and Madame Gu startled and their eyes widened.
Gu Ruxue looked in that direction with hatred. Why? Why was Lord Huai treating her so well just because she knew some medical knowledge?
Gu Chaoyan was walking out of the wagon.
She was dressed in a white gown with a simple style, but it was the newest and finest brocade upon her that made Chaoyan look so clean and fresh. Gu Chaoyan was still slightly chubby, but her skin had turned fairer. Her large eyes made her look extremely cute.
Madame Gu got startled. It seemed that she had failed to notice that Chaoyan was getting prettier and prettier.
However, none of that mattered. What mattered above all was the purple-dressed young man in front of them.
“Lord Huai, please come to the mansion.” What Madame Gu wished above all was to get Lord Huai to take a seat in the mansion. He had been into the mansion before for the sake of Prince of Duke Changning, but now, he was here specially for the Gu Family.
If only he could take a seat in the mansion... The following day the Gu Mansion would become totally different!
