1498 Gu Zhenkang’s Plea 2
Gu Chaoyan looked very firm.
She thought through the request, showed a calm face, sipped her tea and said calmly, “She offended me first, so she should apologize to me first, before I think about doing this for her sake.”
To apologize?
Gu Zhenkang looked very embarrassed.
They were just sisters, and Ruxue was younger than she was. Why did she need an apology?
Also Ruxue would never apologize to anybody.
Well…
“How do you want her to apologize to you?” Gu Zhenkang asked.
Gu Ruxue had been in the Gu Mansion for too long and if she could not get back to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, things might go into a bad direction. So she had to bend down at the moment.
And Ruxue should weigh the priority.
At least that was what Gu Zhenkang thought.
“She needs to apologize to me sincerely. If she doesn’t know how to do that, she can ask the other concubine’s daughters for help to see how they should apologize to the lineal daughter,” Gu Chaoyan said coldly.
“I will speak with Ruxue.” Gu Zhenkang was very embarrassed, but he still nodded with agreement.
Gu Zhenkang believed that as long as Gu Chaoyan agreed, things could be solved easily.
Gu Chaoyan saw him leaving in a hurry and sighed.
“Actually, Gu Ruxue is a girl surrounded by happiness. Even though Mrs. Gu and Gu Zhenkang aren’t nice people, they are truly doing this for Gu Ruxue’s sake, no matter whether they are out to make use of her, or not when she is completely disgraced. Mrs. Gu is not in a steady position herself, but she is still fighting for her to keep the yard, whilst Gu Zhenkang is still going around to plead for her return to the Crown Prince’s Mansion.”
“…”
“They addressed her as Ruxue when she was still the Phoenix Girl. And she is still addressed as Ruxue, but me… I am still just Gu Chaoyan, even though I am the Phoenix Girl.”
Gu Chaoyan’s eyes were sparkling clearly and she seemed a little wishful about what she had seen.
In her previous life, she was traveling about with no emotions, just doing her missions. She had no parents or family. She was alone, but now, she had many people around her, yet she had never felt what family love should be like.
Well…
She did feel a little envious like that.
“Elder Miss.” Sword One called her by her title, feeling a little concerned. She gripped Gu Chaoyan’s shoulders, asking, “Elder Miss, are you okay?”
Gu Chaoyan stopped thinking, as she put her hands on Sword One’s, chuckling. “It is fine. I am just being emotional. No need to be worried.”
Having said this… Gu Chaoyan turned serious again.
She had reclaimed Begonia Yard which should have belonged to Gu Chaoyan and Pear Yard which should have belonged to Ms. Lin, but…
That was far from what she was about to do.
These were just materialistic, unimportant facilities.
Compared to the bitterness Gu Chaoyan went through those years, and Ms. Lin’s death, these were nothing.
Mrs. Gu loved to torment people so that they would become desperate, so she did not mind spending more time on it.
There was still a lot to do.
“Sword Three should be here with what I asked him to look into by this time,” Gu Chaoyan asked Sword One as she looked at her.
Sword One was still feeling sorry for Gu Chaoyan, so hearing her question… she was about to answer her when Sword Three got back.
