Ms. Doctor Divine

1455 Back to Gu Mansion 2

The King talked in a very natural way.

He did not care if Gu Chaoyan was living in the court. He had already told her what he needed to tell her on the day when the Phoenix Girl was born, so she might as well leave the court.

The Crown Prince was going to marry the Phoenix Girl no matter what. Gu Ruxue was not the Phoenix Girl, so she was going to give away her title as the Crown Prince Consort, but it was not yet time, so she could be put aside at the moment.

It was time to make some preparations.

The Phoenix Girl should get engaged with the Crown Prince after she broke off her original engagement. That was the most suitable and proper thing to do.

If the Phoenix Girl fell in love with the Crown Prince in court, the King would be considered to have lost his manners.

So he approved of Gu Zhenkang’s suggestion the moment he mentioned it.

He knew pretty well what Gu Zhenkang was capable of. He had nothing, and could do nothing in whichever position he was in.

He was just lucky to have a few worthy daughters. That was all.

He was afraid that Gu Zhenkang’ words would not get through to the girl, so he made the arrangement personally.

What the King said catered to what Gu Zhenkang was thinking. He nodded. “The King is right. You lived at the Gu Mansion for dozens of years, and the family are always having problems with each other, but what matters is that we are in harmony! And our country is a place where filial piety plays an important part, and is what civilians like.”

“…”

“Your yard has been cleaned, and is the front yard. Your mother had this yard when she was alive, and it should have been given to you if not for Madame Gu’s objection. Now she is gone, and it is the parents who make the decision. So it has been cleaned and excellent maids are arranged to serve you.”

“…”

“If you are not satisfied, the King could arrange some servants from the court to serve you.”

Gu Zhenkang kept babbling.

He must get this girl home. The Phoenix Girl was the only token that could keep up the Gu Mansion’s reputation. He needed nothing else, just the Phoenix Girl.

Hearing what Gu Zhenkang said, the King smiled, feeling satisfied.

Gu Zhenkang was quite good at dealing with family affairs. No wonder Ms. Lin was willing to marry him.

“Your father is right. You are the Phoenix Girl and you need to be nice to your parents. I can give you servants from the court, if you want to. Or I can expand the Gu Mansion as well,” the King said generously.

Gu Chaoyan looked calm as usual.

Gu Zhenkang was never disappointing. He made Madame Gu take the blame for what he did earlier, just to flatter her, the Phoenix Girl.

He was saying that she was tormented because of Madam Gu’s order.

Madame Gu guarded him for her entire life, but he had no gratitude towards her.

She would not want to go back to Gu Mansion, if it had been a few days ago, no matter what these two calculative men said, but now…

She was not going to ignore Gu Mansion after hearing from Sword Three and Sword Four about the murder.

So they wanted her to come back to the old home?

Alright then. She would do that.

“Okay then. I can move back to Gu Mansion, on one condition.”
