Chapter 1540 - 1540 Only the Crown Prince 1
1540 Only the Crown Prince 1
He was about to say something, because Gu Ruxue was his sister and she offered him much help after she became the Crown Prince Consort. He wondered if he needed to do anything for her now that she was in trouble, but his father’s speech struck him. So he said nothing and stopped looking at her after moving his lips.
Gu Zhenkang turned to Gu Yunhe, when Gu Ruxue was gone.
Gu Yunhe was the Young Master of the Gu Mansion, and he had always considered him the heir.
Well… Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue were both useless now.
He was a little confused about what he should do with Yunhe.
Gu Yunhe was not stupid, on the contrary, he was sensitive. He said, “Sister should not have done things like this. Gu Chaoyan is the Phoenix Girl, and her existence will be beneficial for us. We should treat her well, and speak to her with friendliness as well.”
Gu Zhenkang’s hesitation about this son was gone.
He realized that Gu Yunhe was not as stupid as Gu Ruxue.
He dusted himself off and asked Gu Yunhe to stand up as well.
“Yunhe, you are more clear-minded than your sister, and you know what is important. Come with me to Pear Yard,” Gu Zhenkang said.
Gu Yunhe let out a sigh of relief, smiling and getting up. “Okay.”
Gu Zhenkang nodded in satisfaction.
What Chief De Fu meant was that Gu Chaoyan should be informed about the Crown Prince Consort’s absence. And that the King wanted the Crown Prince to marry the Phoenix Girl and take her as his Crown Prince Consort.
He needed to talk her into accepting that.
Gu Zhenkang was thinking about how to put it, so it became quiet in the surroundings.
Gu Yunhe did not dare to say anything more. He just followed him.
He was a little regretful. He should not have laughed at Gu Chaoyan in the past when she was not in a good position. If he had taken good care of her, things would not have been this embarrassing right now.
He wondered if she could forgive him.
If she still wanted to accept him as her Elder Brother, then he would separate himself from Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue. He would turn to her and defend her.
She had few people working for her. So he could even ask her if she could give him some missions because he is family. He was more assuring than others outside the family, right?
Gu Yunhe felt confident.
His father meant that he was still the Young Master of the family and that he would defend him.
The two men both had their own ideas, as they reached Pear Yard.
Gu Zhenkang was sizing up Gu Yunhe before they walked in. It seemed that he was not here seeking justice for his sister. So he nodded and let him in.
Gu Chaoyan was drinking tea when she saw the two men walking in. She had no reaction towards them, instead focusing on her tea.
Gu Zhenkang did not mind when Gu Chaoyan refused to greet him. The Phoenix Girl did not need to bow to anyone, including the King.
He sat down casually.
“No need to serve me tea. I am just here to tell you one thing,” Gu Zhenkang said casually. “The imperial order has decreed that the Crown Prince Consort is removed, so the Crown Prince’s Mansion is empty. What do you think about it?”
“…”
“You are the Phoenix Girl, a noble person. Only the Crown Prince is a good match for you in the Saint Divine Land.”
