Gu Yunhe had been feeling quite distressed. He felt that if he failed to achieve his promise, he would lose his face completely. After all, he was a different person now compared to before.
However, hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Gu Yunhe started to smile. He asked with anticipation. “Mom, you got an idea?”
Mrs. Gu nodded with a smile. Then she sat down next to Gu Yunhe composedly.
She would not have had any methods to bring down that Gu Chaoyan bitch, but things were different now. She had Lord Huai whilst they had Lord Ling. Plus, while Lord Huai was the only thing she had, they had Ruxue as the Phoenix Girl. Even the King would have to pay respect to the Phoenix Girl, since she was a girl with a written destiny! Therefore, they had nothing to fear.
“It is just a matter of wine selling, what a minor matter! Yunhe, you made the correct promise. You are the Young Master of our rising family, and you will have to do something convincing so that the folk in the capital can get some idea of who you are. You were right to have offered help for Restaurant Jixian, which is owned by the Elder Princess.”
“…”
“So we give up when Gu Chaoyan doesn’t approve?” Mrs. Gu snorted. “It is her business whether she approves or not, but it is our business to make Restaurant Jixian able to sell the wine again.”
“…”
“We have got Lord Ling behind us. We have got nothing to fear! It is just a matter of wine! We’ll help the restaurant sell it, and the Yellow Crane would not be able to say anything about it, I am sure.”
“…”
“We should have weighed the challenge earlier, but not now.” Mrs. Gu said with confidence.
Gu Yunhe struck his own head.
That was true! He had gotten himself bothered by such a small errand. Why must he get any approval from the bitch Gu Chaoyan? He was Gu Yunhe! He could do anything he wanted now.
Excitement hovered over Gu Yunhe’s face.
“Great, mom, thank you! Otherwise I would not have thought about that!” Gu Yunhe said with a smile. He suddenly felt happy, and could not sit still any more.
He had fixed his problem and he could not wait to go to deal with it.
“Mom, I will go to Restaurant Jixian now.” Gu Yunhe said with excitement.
“Hang on.” Mrs. Gu shouted. “You can go to Restaurant Jixian, but we need some feedback for what we are doing for that restaurant today! The Elder Princess owns Restaurant Jixian, so you can just send someone to deal with what is going on at Restaurant Jixian whilst you go to visit the Elder Princess instead. You can’t just go there yourself, it is demeaning your own social status!” Mrs. Gu reminded him.
Mrs. Gu looked about and made sure that no one was within sight, then she continued. “County Princess Anxi from the Elder Princess’ Mansion is not yet engaged. I heard that the Elder Princess’ husband passed away ages ago, and she has little power in her hands. But she is, after all, the Elder Princess. So if you can marry County Princess Anxi, things would go in your direction. Honestly, the Elder Princess has the Empress Dowager behind her. So, if you can get involved with a member of the imperial family… everything will become great.”
Hearing what his mother said, Gu Yunhe agreed
“Mom, you are excellent! You have made such a huge plan over such a minor thing! I am not young anymore, it is time for me to get married! That County Princess deserves me, and after I marry her, I am definitely going to get Sword One!” Gu Yunhe snapped fiercely.
