1192: Letter from the Court 1

Letter from the Court 1

"Second Lady, I am afraid that you are not allowed to walk into the mansion from this moment on because you are no longer the Second Lady of the Chu Family." The housekeeper had a serious look on his face, as he spoke to Chu Yeying.2

The Housekeeper found it very pitiful. After all, he watched the Second Lady growing up, yet what she had done had harmed the Chu Family, so he could not feel sorry for her.

Chu Yeying's face changed. It became really pale.

Her name had been crossed out? What was going on?! How did she end up being like this!?

Chu Yeying felt dizzy.

Second Concubine was very anxious too. They should have realized that the Gu Mansion was beyond their reach before they deserted the Chu Family, which was, after all, a big family in the capital and which could give them a good life.

"Yeying, what should we do?" Second Concubine asked anxiously.

Chu Yeying glared at Second Concubine, gave her a push and left. Second Concubine fell onto the ground, and when she got up, Chu Yeying was already gone. Second Concubine had no choice but to sit at the gate, crying.

When Zhou Huaijin told Gu Chaoyan what happened to the Chu Family it was one day after the incident. Zhou Huaijin recounted the whole story vividly.

Gu Chaoyan looked at him in surprise.

She had not expected that the Chu Family had experienced such a dramatic thing.

She had met the Second Lady of the Chu Family at the banquet, where she defended Gu Ruxue and worked for her. However, she ended up suffering so much.

However, there was no need to feel sorry for her. Even the robbers in the mountains would run away with their mother, yet Chu Yeying abandoned her mother. She had no love inside her so there was no need to feel sorry for her. She deserved what she was going through.

"The Chu Family has to suffer for a while. There will be a lot of gossip, and I hope Xiwen is not affected," Gu Chaoyan said in distress.

"There should be some effect, but gossip is better compared to what Prime Minister Chu would have to face if he had chosen the Crown Prince." Zhou Huaijin said, "Luckily, Prime Minister Chu is a very persistent man and refused to continue with the marriage even under such pressure."

The Chu Family would be totally ruined if he had approved of the marriage.

They were just chatting when Sword One returned. "Elder Miss, Mrs. Min's mansion has sent you an invitation and asked you to visit her at the Min Mansion."

"The Min Mansion?"

"Mrs. Min's mansion, not Madame Min's mansion." Sword One smiled.

"Oh that is good, I will be there," Gu Chaoyan said cheerfully.

"I haven't seen Mrs. Min in ages, let's go there together," Zhou Huaijin said with a smile. He was going to have very little time to visit people when he started to help Prime Minister Chu later, so Zhou Huaijin decided to spend more time with Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan was about to nod when Fu Bao hurried in with a serious look on his face, as if he had just gotten news. "My lord, a message has been sent from the court, asking you to go into the court. Something major has happened."

"…"

"I have asked the hidden guards to check and it seems that all the officiers' mansions have been informed. Something must have happened!"
