Hearing what Chen Fu said, Gu Zhenkang got totally assured – it must be Lord Yu who was at the door. He struck the table heavily, looking very pleased.
Well, he did not have to suspect anything. The Gu Mansion at the moment was completely different than before. Ruxue was marrying Lord Ling, so it was going to be very normal for them to receive some lords here and there. He should have been prepared for this kind of situation. Gu Zhenkang patted his head and reminded himself about that.
He assumed that Lord Yu was here to visit him.
He thought for a while and turned a calm look at Chen Fu – Lord Yu must be here to talk about some alliances! Ruxue was marrying Lord Ling, and Lord Yu might need someone too. Luckily, he had a daughter, who was yet to become an adult, at the mansion. Gu Zhenkang showed a smiling expression. “Chen Fu, go and bring the Third Lady here, and make sure she is dressed properly! She will have a great future, do you understand that?”
Chen Fu nodded constantly. He did not understand – the Gu Mansion was never a family clan big enough to be looked up in the capital city. So why did Lords keep coming to their place these days? Could that have been a blessing from God?
However, that was not for him, a servant, to think about. Chen Fu rushed to the back yard, fearing that he would be blamed by the Third Lady because of his slight delay. After all, a marital alliance was a huge matter.
As Chen Fu came around, Gu Xiuying was throwing her temper at a maid, but she stopped suddenly at the sight of Chen Fu. She was quite surprised to see Chen Fu here – after all, he barely came to this place.
Gu Ruxue, who was one of the concubine’s daughters, already put everyone else in the shade.
Now she was marrying Lord Ling, and the whole mansion was paying their full attention upon her. They never thought about the other daughters. Gu Xiuying suddenly felt that she was even worse than Gu Chaoyan the b***h, at least she was always mentioned by others in the mansion.
Ignored by the whole mansion, Gu Xiuying even showed a touch of flattering smile on her face at the sight of the butler. “Butler Chen, do you need anything from me?”
Chen Fu was not used to this kind of attitude of hers. Instead of accepting the water given by the maid, he said with courtesy. “Old Master is asking me to tell you that you should get dressed and come to the front yard.”
Getting dressed? Coming to the front yard?
Gu Xiuying smiled brightly – were they arranging a marital affair for her now?
Hearing the good news, she kept on asking Chen Fu. “Which family is the young master from?”
“He is not a young master.”
Before Chen Fu could finish the words, Gu Xiuying looked disappointed. She went back to her seat, refusing to move.
“Third Lady, please hurry up, he is not Young Master but Lord Yu! Don’t be late, please.” Chen Fu said helplessly.
“What?!!” Gu Xiuying’s eyes brightened. A lord? She had the chance to marry a lord?
Instead of asking anything more, she went into the room and started to get dressed.
Outside the Gu Mansion…
Gu Zhenkang went to greet Zhou Huaiyu personally. The moment he saw the man, Gu Zhenkang felt that he should not have suspected a thing about his identity – those sons of the King resembled the King very much. All of them were very handsome.
Judging from the air and his face, he must be Lord Yu, for sure.
