Gu Zhenkang threw a confused look at Gu Chaoyan.
He noticed that something weird was going on, but then he remembered that Ruxue must be the Phoenix Girl – Destiny Monk confirmed that, and Lord Ling tested it too. Mrs. Gu said that during Ruxue’s Adulthood Ceremony, birds were flying all over the Lord Ling’s Mansion because Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl and the birds were passing on their blessings.
It was a definite thing that the Phoenix Girl would become the queen. Nothing would go wrong.
He looked at Gu Chaoyan with annoyance. This daughter of Ms. Lin was just as annoying as her mother!
He was showing kindness to her on this visit.
She was indeed marrying Lord Huai, but she was not going to be better than the future Queen.
He gave her the reminder for her sake. So he sneered. “If you don’t flatter your Second Sister, you will be very sorry for your decision.”
“I won’t.” Gu Chaoyan answered coldly.
Gu Zhenkang showed a look of annoyance, then he left with a sneer. He had never seen such an arrogant person, who did not know how to grab the opportunity, even if he lowered his own status.
Gu Zhenkang left in anger, but Gu Chaoyan continued to drink her tea leisurely.
She did not believe a thing about destiny. She only believed in herself – in the previous life and in the present life.
“Elder Miss, let me get you a kettle to warm you up.” Sword One asked after seeing Gu Chaoyan suffering from the cold.
“No thanks.” Gu Chaoyan turned her down.
She did feel very cold, but she did not need those things right now.
Sword One was feeling quite helpless too.
Lord Huai had gotten her the things, but none of them came in handy.

At Restaurant Jixian…
Gu Yunhe was surrounded by a group of noble young masters as they walked into the elegant room of Restaurant Jixian.
Those young masters used to have no anticipation with him, but now they were all showing courtesy to offer him great food to eat.
Gu Yunhe believed that it was a very wonderful life. He should have had such an experience ages ago. So he was feeling very proud.
“Get the wine!” Gu Yunhe bellowed. He had never had the qualification to come to the elegant room before, but now he was qualified, so he was going to drink as much as he could.
The manager looked embarrassed.
He bowed and said, “Young Master, we are not allowed to sell any liquor here, please order some food instead.”
Not allowed to sell any liquor?
“What is going on?!” Gu Yunhe looked surprised and confused.
Restaurant Jixian used to sell a lot of wine, which was difficult to obtain since it was opened for those with a great social background. Now that he was qualified enough, the wine was not allowed to be sold – what was going on?
“Tell me who made this rule.” Gu Yunhe looked as if he wanted to get involved with something.
When the housekeeper heard this, he found that something different might happen.
The business of Restaurant Jixian kept slacking since the wine was forbidden to be sold. If not for the young masters of the capital coming to eat here for the Elder Princess’s sake, the Restaurant would have been shut down.
He was a manager of the restaurant, proud and rich, so he had to keep the business going.
This Young Master was someone from the Gu Family, the lineal young master, maybe his words would work.
As the manager thought inwardly, he recounted. “We lost a bet with Yellow Crane opposite the street, so wine is not allowed to be sold here anymore.”
“What the heck is Yellow Crane?” Gu Yunhe said confusedly.
“Well, it is something to do with you too, if you are willing to say something to them, you will be free to have as much liquor as you want here at our restaurant.” The housekeeper said with a flattering tone.
Gu Yunhe looked even prouder.
