However, maybe those conflicts were gone already. After all this hideous girl was the Lin Family’s blood.

Madame Gu did not want to take the risk. So she did not approve of the proposal.

That was what Gu Chaoyan had expected. The more they resisted, the more she wanted to visit the Lin Family. So she said with a peaceful smile. “But Lord Huai has already arranged his men to keep me company there.”

“What?” Madame Gu’s eyes widened. She was now really furious, though she barely expressed her own emotion.

Lord Huai had arranged his men? Then how would she ever be able to turn that down?

Mrs. Gu was anxious too. She got so worried that she stomped her feet, fearing that she would say something wrong on this occasion. She was very worried Madame Gu would approve of the proposal because of Lord Huai’s order.

“Chaoyan, you have made a mistake. You are not giving either me or Madame Gu the trust so you got Lord Huai involved!” Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Chaoyan with an annoyed face, snapping angrily.

Madame Gu stopped showing anger on her face, but she was annoyed inwardly.

Instead of saying anything more, she looked at Gu Chaoyan in silence.

That was what Madame Gu was like. Gu Chaoyan had already been used to that, so she said, “Madame Gu has mentioned that the Lin Family hates us, so if we go up to them alone, then we might be turned down. That is why I asked Lord Huai for the favor in return. In this way, I am not only going to get the list, but also establish our reputation in the Lin Family too. After all, those are Lord Huai’s men!”

Establishing the reputation? Lord Huai’s men?

Hearing the words, Madame Gu looked slightly less annoyed. The gleam twinkled in her eyes. So she twisted the band around her finger subconsciously.

She went through the clues in her head and showed a light smile, looking very pleased. “Good girl, you are thinking of the Gu Mansion.”

“....”

“You should go to visit the Lin Family.” She said as she turned to Mrs. Gu and said, “Mrs. Gu, you need to get the wagons ready as soon as possible.”

Mrs. Gu looked unconvinced. She thought that Madame Gu had been hoaxed! So she reminded her instantly, “Madame Gu, you have to think about it first!”

“Shut up!” Madame Gu looked at Mrs. Gu with annoyance.

What a brainless person! She picked this woman for Zhenkang!

Mrs. Gu had been behaving very well in the past few years, which pleased her a great deal. Madame Gu was satisfied about her only because she was the lineal miss born by the official Gu Family, who had a great background. That was how marriage between families should be done.

But now as her children grew up, she started to get very annoying.

Honestly, their mansion had received Lord Huai once because of the Prince, but they had no other honors at all. Now Lord Huai was sending his men to help with the family affairs, what a great honor!

As long as Zhenkang leaked the information to his fellows, he would have gained a better reputation compared to the one they got from the Wang Family.

“Chaoyan, you have worked hard today, just go back home for a break. I will arrange everything for you for your trip back to the Lin Family.” Madame Gu said with a friendly face and then glared at Mrs. Gu. “Come with me.”

Gu Chaoyan bowed and left.

Mrs. Gu helped Madame Gu to walk to the inner side of Pear Yard. On the way there, Madame Gu threw an annoyed glare at Mrs, Gu, “You are getting increasingly dumber!”
