1170: Honored Guest 2

Honored Guest 2

Hearing the word Honored Guest, Sword One looked alert.0

Elder Miss told the Min Mansion that she could not leave home because she was sick, but she was not in Xinlin Mansion, so Sword One was worried that a slight slip of secret would have sold out Elder Miss.

The situation in the capital was getting more serious, and the King as well as the Crown Prince were all working on their own plans.

"It is Mrs. Min," Xiu Jie said.

Sword One let out a sigh of relief, but Gu Chaoyan was quite surprised. She had not expected that Mrs. Min would be here. She wondered what she needed, but she would still treat Mrs. Min well.

Mrs. Min was probably the only person who really took her side among those noble people. She did not spend much time with Mrs. Min, but after three encounters, she could tell that Mrs. Min was taking care of her.

Gu Chaoyan hurried to where she was seated.

Mrs. Min was reading and drinking tea in the room, looking at leisure.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mrs. Min did not turn around and said straightforwardly. "Your housekeeper told me that you are at Lord Yan's Mansion and won't return too soon. So I made up my mind to stay here for a bit instead of leaving. Lady Chaoyan, you don't mind, right?"

"Of course not. You can even stay at Xinlin Mansion for several nights, if you want to," Gu Chaoyan said with a smile, then she poured tea for Mrs. Min.

Mrs. Min put down the book, sipped the tea and said with a smile, "There are many interesting books here, different from those boring ones read by other ladies."

Seeing that Mrs. Min had interest in her books, Gu Chaoyan fetched The Saint Divine Anecdotes for Mrs. Min.

That was her favorite.

Gu Chaoyan was looking for it as she said, "Most of the books were given by Madame Jiang, who said that General Jiang read it when he was alive. She had many delivered to my place after seeing that I love reading them. And they are interesting."

However, Gu Chaoyan failed to find the book.

She frowned.

Where was the book? She was sure that she had brought the book out of the old mansion, but the book was gone. She always tried to find it, but it was nowhere to be found.

Mrs. Min was very confused upon seeing her looking around. "What are you searching for?"

"A book called The Saint Divine Anecdotes, I brought it out of the mansion so where is it?" Gu Chaoyan asked confusedly. "Mrs. Min, could you come and help me search? You have better sight."

Mrs. Min was surprised to hear what Gu Chaoyan said, because no one had ever asked her to do anything before. However, Mrs. Min liked it. She got up and started to help her with the search over the shelf in front of her. She glanced about carefully, but did not find the book.

Gu Chaoyan gave up too. "I didn't find it."

Both of them gave up and returned to their seats for tea.

It was a very tiring matter to search for books.

Gu Chaoyan drank some tea and asked, "Mrs. Min, are you here to ask me about something?"
