1485: Another Yard

Another Yard

Chen Fu, instead of showing an embarrassed look, let out a sigh of relief, looking very relaxed.1

It was just one momentary look, before he reclaimed a timid expression.

Chaoyan frowned slightly. She always felt that Chen Fu was very weird, but she could not say clearly where. She had thought that Chen Fu worked for Mrs. Gu, but not entirely either. Then she believed that Chen Fu worked for Gu Zhenkang, but it seemed that he was helping her instead, but not entirely either. However, that momentary look convinced her that he was hoping that good things would happen to her.

For example…

Now…

Gu Chaoyan could not understand it, and she failed to figure out the cause.

She had asked Sword Three and Sword Four to check Chen Fu's background, but no information had been found. He was just a capable housekeeper, who had been working for the Gu Family for so long.

"Anything else you want to tell me?" Gu Chaoyan asked.

Chen Fu's face changed slightly.

That was not what he had expected of Gu Chaoyan.

He lowered his head and said quietly, as usual, "Nothing I can say to you, Elder Miss. If you don't want to go there, I will pass on the message for you."

"…"

"I will do that now," Chen Fu said politely.

"Okay." Gu Chaoyan answered coldly and sipped her tea. She started to think about Chen Fu, who was really difficult to understand.

She had spent so much time in the Saint Divine Land, and she could even tell what the King was like, but not a housekeeper like Chen Fu, who seemed beyond her knowledge to understand.

She touched her temples, feeling a headache starting.

"Elder Miss, do you need our help?" the maid asked.

"No thanks." Gu Chaoyan turned her down. She did accept the maids from the court, but she did not want to get close to them. She did not know these maids well, and she was only used to Sword One. So she would not just let them serve her whenever she wanted.

The maids retired to the side, waiting quietly.

The three maids from the court believed that Elder Miss was a very easy going person, so they were no longer as afraid as before. They just waited quietly in the room.

Gu Chaoyan did nothing other than drinking her tea.

When she had finished one cup… she heard, as she had expected, the sound of footsteps.

Soon, Gu Zhenkang hurried in. He asked with a look of displeasure. "What are you still doing here when the Crown Prince is here? Are you keeping the Crown Prince waiting?"

"…"

"You are the Phoenix Girl, but you can't be so spoiled in front of the Crown Prince," Gu Zhenkang said with displeasure.

"…"

"Why did you turn the Crown Prince down?" Gu Zhenkang asked angrily.

Despite Gu Zhenkang's anger, Gu Chaoyan was calm. She sipped some tea and answered quietly, "I just don't want to meet him."

"…"

"I am not feeling well living here. I want to have a new yard."
