1563: Proposal 1

Proposal 1

At that time, he thought that she had been ruined in the head so she had spoken such innocent words. He had thought that she was a shameless person, but… just one year later…2

From spring to winter, and now spring again…

He was proved wrong.

Just as she had told him. She was an extraordinary person. She was the Phoenix Girl and she would marry someone with an extraordinary background. The Crown Prince was proposing to her all the time, wasn't he?

So she was the Phoenix Girl, the Crown Prince Consort and soon, she would become the Queen.

He was wrong. Gu Zhenkang realized that he was wrong.

He had made the bet on the wrong person.

If he had chosen Ms. Lin over Mrs. Gu back then. If he had not chosen the beautiful Ruxue but his lineal daughter Gu Chaoyan…

He would not have been like this now. He would be shining in glory.

Gu Zhenkang burst into tears as he thought about all of this.

His dead-looking eyes brightened all of a sudden. He struggled against his chain and kneeled down in front of Gu Chaoyan, shouting loudly, "Gu Chaoyan, I am sorry! I should not have treated you and your mother like that. If I am dead, you will have no family left in the world, you…"

Gu Chaoyan was frowning, but ignored him.

The executor beheaded him directly when it was time.

Before he could finish his words, his head was already rolling over the ground.

Gu Chaoyan stopped looking at him, but turned around and headed back.

Now it was really done.

As Gu Chaoyan passed by, the civilians and soldiers all made the way for her.

The wagon was heading forward slowly.

Gu Chaoyan ate a cake.

She smiled suddenly.

"Let's go home."

"Okay." Sword One answered.

Sword One understood that Elder Miss had finally had something loaded off her head.

Gu Chaoyan suddenly thought of something as the wagon went on for a while. "When we are back, make arrangements so that we can plant some immortal flowers at Xinlin Mansion. They should bloom next April or May. And we will see them at Xinlin Mansion!"

"Okay!" Sword One nodded and replied.

Gu Chaoyan felt assured.

When they reached Xinlin Mansion, Sword One frowned as she got out of the wagon.

She helped Gu Chaoyan off the wagon and then, Gu Chaoyan frowned too. "What are you doing here?"

"Lady Chaoyan, I am here to see you. Many things happened today, and an unexpected thing happened at Gu Mansion as well. I did not know that you suffered so much at the mansion. Now the bad guys were punished and it feels great."

"…"

"Your mother passed away when you were little. Your father is now gone. Gu Yunhe and Gu Ruxue are dominating the Gu Mansion. I think you will have to live alone at Xinlin Mansion."

"…"

"But Xinlin Mansion was not constructed by the Ministry of Architecture. It is too shabby and you do not have enough servants."

"…"

"I have no Crown Prince Consort and I have no children. I am single."

"…"

"So I think that it is the best time for you to marry me now. So that you will have a family from today on. I will take good care of you and will not allow you to get bullied or make you sad."

"…"

"Lady Chaoyan, you can treat me as your own. Don't be embarrassed any more. I will embrace all of your drawbacks."
