“We should beat the enemy suddenly! If the Imperial Master already knows that I am behind the whole thing, it would be less fun! We can make him believe that it is just someone who wants to make some money that started the whole thing. In this way, he will not take it seriously. By that time, I can appear and I would very much like to see what expression the Imperial Master has on his face then. He thinks that everyone is scared of him here in the Feather Mulberry Land,” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.
Her smile was faint and cold, not fierce at all, but it made Zhou Huaiyu hug himself.
“That is so evil! Brother, aren’t you afraid of her?” Zhou Huaiyu turned to Zhou Huaijin with a look of pity.
He suddenly felt that if he married someone who only wanted to be the master of the women in the mansion, it was a good choice. At least, she would stay indoors throughout her life. And she would not come up with such an evil idea.
Zhou Huaijin had no expression on his face. He did not understand what he should be afraid of. Instead, he took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands and said, “She is good, really good and I like her no matter how she is.”
Zhou Huaiyu shook his goosebump off him. “I can’t stay here any more. I need to get back to my own room.”
Then he went out and Wuhen followed.
Zhou Huaijin looked at Zhou Huaiyu in confusion, wondering where he had done wrong.
Gu Chaoyan withdrew her hands, glared at him and went to take a break with Sword One.
Fu Bao was chuckling next to them.
In the Saint Divine Land, people had manners – girls were introverted, men behaved like a gentleman, even the most devoted couple would not have expressed their love so openly, but here in the Feather Mulberry Land, people were more straightforward. Yet even then they proposed at the door rather than express their affection in front of the girls directly.
However, Fu Bao believed that being straightforward was good. One should not prevent themself from expressing their affection, if the feeling was so strong.
When they got everything settled, it was getting late too. So they went back to their own room to sleep.
***
When they woke up, it was already the following day.
The climate in the Feather Mulberry Land was very good, and the season was just right.
Their yard was huge, so the breakfast was delivered to each one’s room rather than shared together. However, after breakfast, Gu Chaoyan gladly proposed to walk around in the Feather Mulberry Land.
They were all happy to hear the idea, so they went out together.
After they went out of the alleyway with the wagon, they got out of it and started to walk along the street.
In front of them was the capital of the Feather Mulberry Land.
Gu Chaoyan suddenly got emotional. No wonder Prince Muyi would try to sell some of their wine to other countries – the capital of the Feather Mulberry Land was not really flourishing.
In Gu Chaoyan’s opinion, the capital looked as flourishing as Bingzhou in the Saint Divine Land, but Bingzhou was not part of the Saint Divine Land, strictly speaking.
They spent some time in the capital and soon, she obtained enough knowledge of the place, thanks to what Xiao Jin had offered to her.
They had planned to have lunch somewhere, but gave up the idea after some contemplation. So they returned to their own yard.
Gu Chaoyan was sure that the restaurant operated by the Imperial Master could only bring in income in the capital, whilst her method could bring in money in all 15 towns of the country.
They had just gotten back to the yard when Gu Chaoyan saw Yinfeng.
She was slightly surprised.
“All settled?”
