1486: Meeting

Meeting

"A new yard?" Gu Zhenkang looked very unconvinced, as he looked at Gu Chaoyan. He thought that he had misheard what she said. He frowned. "Didn't you say that you only wanted to live in Begonia Yard. We moved away everything in the yard, and everything here has been replaced with things you like, but you have only been here for a few days, and now you want a new one?"1

"…"

"Is it the servants who aren't serving you well, or anything about Begonia Yard you don't like? We can get Chen Fu to fix everything," Gu Zhenkang said, looking really unwilling.

Many troubles had been caused when she wanted to move into Begonia Yard. Ruxue's stuff had been taken away by her too. If there was another move, something else might occur again.

Gu Zhenkang looked really agitated.

Gu Chaoyan was still composed, as if she was just saying things that did not matter to her at all. She sipped some tea, but did not get anyone to serve Gu Zhenkang tea.

Gu Zhenkang had been standing in front of Gu Chaoyan since he came to pass on the message. He was in a hurry to respond to the Crown Prince as soon as possible.

Gu Chaoyan sipped the tea and said quietly, "I don't like living here, the yard is probably too shabby, or something."

"…"

"If you don't want to arrange it for me, it is okay. I can move somewhere else, so that I don't have to cause you trouble here at the Gu Mansion." Gu Chaoyan said indifferently, "Qing has been in charge of Xinlin Mansion and I don't have to do much if I want to move back. Or I can ask the King to arrange a place for me in the court. Lord Huai can be of some help as well."

Gu Zhenkang could tell that she was not saying these as a joke. She had been planning to do this.

He was startled.

He stopped her and said, "No, no, it is fine here at Gu Mansion. No need to move away. Which yard do you want? Name it, so that Chen Fu can arrange the rest. It is not a big deal, Gu Mansion is huge enough for you to do whatever you want."

Gu Zhenkang consoled her.

The Crown Prince was waiting in the hall and the King was watching him. So if she was gone, the Gu Mansion would be nothing. A yard would not matter at all, compared to all of these.

What was more… It would be best for her to move from here.

Ruxue had never been happy about moving away from Begonia Yard. If Gu Chaoyan was gone, Ruxue could move back as well.

That was a good thing.

Having thought about this, Gu Zhenkang nodded.

Gu Chaoyan felt slightly satisfied seeing his nod, but that was how she planned it. She believed that Gu Zhenkang would definitely approve of getting her a new yard.

When this was settled, Gu Zhenkang added quickly. "So can you meet the Crown Prince now? He has come to us prepared. Don't let him wait."

Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Zhenkang.

She nodded quietly. "Okay. Let's meet him and see what he wants from me on this visit."
