Gu Chaoyan frowned slightly.

She did not move instantly.

When Madam Gu heard about this, she gave a push upon Gu Chaoyan despite anything, and said, “Chaoyan, Lord Huai is asking for you, just go with him, don’t be dumb here.”

Gu Chaoyan lowered her head and nodded.

Madame Gu had been worried a minute ago, but now she was showing indeed happiness.

This girl saved someone from the w.a.n.g Family, and many people were visiting them these days. If the girl could do Lord Huai a favor this time, the whole family would gain endless profits out of it.

The Gu Family was going to take off very soon! Very soon!

The Gu Family had generations who were devoted to studies. Many offspring had gained high ranks in imperial examinations, but none of them had a promising future at all. The highest official rank they had ever gained was the Fifth. If they could go upwards a little, she would live up to the expectation of the Old Master before he died!

Great, that was just great!

Madame Gu looked at Lord Huai and Gu Chaoyan’s leaving silhouettes with radiance on her face.

Apart from Madame Gu who was cheerful, both Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue were both displeased. They had never expected that Gu Chaoyan could be so skillful as to draw Lord Huai’s attention. If they had known about that, they would not have set her up, but let her come to the Huo Family smoothly.

Gu Ruxue’s fingers were twisting the handkerchief so forcefully that the handkerchief had been very distorted.

Why? Gu Ruxue was thinking about only one thing.

Huo Wei had already been brought away because of Huo Gang’s appearance.

Madame Gu was so cheerful.

But Madame w.a.n.g found it improper, so she asked Auntie Song to follow Gu Chaoyan. After all, Gu Chaoyan was a lady whilst Lord Huai was a man, gossip might appear if they were alone. Also, Chaoyan had no maid with her now, and Madam Gu expected to get something out of it so she did not dispatch anyone to be with the girl.

Lord Huai’s men approved of Auntie Song’s company.

Huo Gang was just an Elder with a rank of four, the mansion was huge yet not luxurious. The decoration of the yard was careful and nice, fitting the Elder’s social status. Elder was not a high position, yet it helped them to gain a lot of money. That was why Madam Gu did not offend the Huo Family at all.

“Why were you not telling the truth just now?” Lord Huai asked Gu Chaoyan with a cold look.

“Did not think that it was necessary.” Gu Chaoyan replied coldly. Some catkins flew by in the spring, which annoyed Gu Chaoyan who moved them with hands.

Lord Huai had been putting on a cold expression, but now, he was truly displeased. He took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hand that was waving away the catkins and gazed down at Gu Chaoyan’s face, frowning deeply.

Gu Chaoyan had no idea why this matter annoyed him. Judging from his expression, she forgot to counter for the moment but confessed, “Huo Wei set me up, saying that I caused her the rashes. What I did was to make the rashes stay, so the revenge was taken. I was glad that you defended me just now, but I am not capable enough to face the upcoming difficulties.”

Having said the words, Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief.

That was the first time for her to explain something in a careful way to someone like this.

Lord Huai’s face turned brighter.

Auntie Song, however, got a bit anxious. They were not engaged so how could they behave in this way? She was about to remind them when Lord Huai’s guards stopped her.
