Chapter 429: Concerned

That was Xie Yan’s idea. If not for that strategist, he would not have talked to this girl so politely.

Well, even a strategist’s idea did not make this dumb-headed girl understand the circumstance.

Gu Yunhe looked very furious. “You are not willing to do that?”

“Nope.” Gu Chaoyan answered coldly.

“Well, well, well, Gu Chaoyan, you better never regret what you have done today!” Gu Yunhe flung his sleeves and left.

What the heck? He would not have spent any time with this girl, if Lord Ling’s offer was not enough. As far as he knew, he should not have taken anything from Gu Chaoyan. She could just guard her own stuff, and when she lost her mother’s family, she was not going to live on at Lord Huai’s Mansion at all.

Men always liked the new ones. When Lord Huai got tired of her, a girl like Gu Chaoyan would be deserted. By that time, she would have no use of her dowries!

She was turning him down now, so she was going to get nothing from him in the future!

He could gather up plenty of dowries for Ruxue even if the Lin Family offered nothing to them.

After Gu Yunhe left...

Sword One walked into the room. She said angrily, “Elder Miss, you don’t have to speak with Gu Yunhe. They are treating you terribly and only a little better, when they were asking you for a favor. Our Lord is a nice man, even if you have no mother’s family to back you up, the Lord will still treat you well!”

“Madame Jiang and the Queen will also treat you well,” Sword One said with determination.

Gu Chaoyan smiled. She was aware of all of these.

The Gu Family would not have given Gu Chaoyan such a terrible life and made her die, if they cared just a little about Gu Chaoyan.

She was not going to believe whatever the Gu Family was saying.

However, what Gu Yunhe said did make some sense, though he was such a dumbass.

Women without a mother’s family would have a difficult time, especially when it came to the royal family.

She did not worry that Zhou Huaijin would treat her terribly. She was just worried that if she had nothing, she would not have a steady root in the royal family since there were so many Princess Consorts in the court.

She needed a mother’s family, for her own sake and for Zhou Huaijin’s sake too.

However, that mother’s family would never be the Gu Mansion. She could try to gather one for herself.

Inspired, Gu Chaoyan showed a smile on her face. She should start to consider what to do in the following days.

“What are you smiling for? You look so happy,” Zhou Huaijin asked as he dropped by, as he saw her happy smile and the confused Sword One next to her.

Seeing Zhou Huaijin here...

Gu Chaoyan knew that he had managed to deal with whatever happened with the Queen. She let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

“I was reminded of something.” Gu Chaoyan said. “Gu Yunhe was here and threatened me. He said that if I don’t obey his order, I would not have any mother’s family as back-up after I get married, so...”

Zhou Huaijin swept her into his arms and said concernedly, “Chaoyan...”

Sword One lowered her head and left the room instantly.
