1223: My Order

My Order

Gu Chaoyan looked at Mrs. Gu, whose face was twisted, and said calmly without showing much emotion. She said word by word. "The King sent the invitation to me for the celebration of the victory at Jiayu Pass, which is a big thing for the Saint Divine Land. Why is it a shame for me to be here? Mrs. Gu, are you having a problem with the King's decision?"2

Mrs. Gu held her tongue. She did not dare to babble around when the King was mentioned and since they were in the court.

The Gu Family was already in a high position, but she did not dare to make comments about the King. She could not cause trouble for the Crown Prince, otherwise the Gu Family would be ruined.

Mrs. Gu had no idea what to do so she was speechless, but Gu Zhenkang looked at Gu Chaoyan disdainfully and said to Mrs. Gu, "What is the point of talking with a person like this?"

"…"

"She was born to a businesswoman, and she has been removed by the Gu Family. The Gu Family is already so important in the capital so you don't have to care about everyone," Gu Zhenkang said disdainfully.

Having said that, he left with Mrs. Gu without even looking at Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan showed no expression on her face either.

After they were a distance away… Gu Chaoyan started to walk towards the corridor.

Gu Chaoyan did not care about any of these, but Sword One showed a lot of concern. "Elder Miss, they are just so rude! How can they talk to you like that, you know…"

"Alright, Sword One." Gu Chaoyan stopped Sword One completely. They were in the court so Sword One should not say something bad. Anyway, she did not want to talk about the Gu Family. Gu Chaoyan said, "Time will tell. They can be proud if they want to, but that won't last long."

Sword One stayed silent, then they headed towards the banquet together.

They had just walked in when Gu Chaoyan saw First Ms. Min. Gu Chaoyan dodged First Ms. Min and took a corner seat.

She did not like this kind of banquet.

If not for Huaijin, who was not in the capital, she would not have been here. It was a celebratory banquet, so if they were not here, someone would talk.

Gu Chaoyan took a corner seat in silence.

The Gu Family was seated as well.

Gu Yunhe went to Gu Ruxue and asked.

"Crown Prince Consort, I need you to grant me a woman," Gu Yunhe smiled.

"Who is that?" Gu Ruxue asked.

"Gu Chaoyan's maid! I already wanted to have her before, but we feared Lord Huai in the past. Now Lord Huai is nothing! Crown Prince Consort, please grant her to me," Gu Yunhe said indifferently.

That was something he had wanted to get all this time.

He had wanted to have her before and now she was too insignificant for him, yet he still wanted to have her.

If not for the meeting, he would have forgotten about this woman. So now that he was reminded of it, he decided to take her back.

Gu Ruxue glanced at her and thought of this. She nodded and then walked towards Gu Chaoyan.

She had not been confident enough to do so previously… but now… she was extremely confident.

Gu Chaoyan was in the middle of drinking tea when Gu Ruxue came to take a seat and Gu Yunhe took the other one.

Gu Ruxue said nothing except one thing - "Gu Chaoyan, give your maid to me and I will repay you with 100."
