Chapter 86: Helping Second Sister
Seeing her smile, Gu Ruxue could not help but feel her hair standing on the neck. However, it took just a few moments before Gu Ruxue regained her confidence.
Why did she need to fear this ugly woman? She threw a perfect smile.
“Well, it seems that Chaoyan is the miss of the Gu Family too, we of course are bringing her with to the court. I will talk with her about what you are worried about.” Madame Gu clicked the cane and said, “That’s all for today, just go and get ready for the court. Chaoyan, come to the Pear Yard with me.”
“Okay.” Gu Chaoyan replied courteously.
Madame Gu nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Zhenkang was about to say something when Madame Gu threw him a glare, stopping him completely. Then he turned to Gu Chaoyan. “You ugly woman, if you dare to humiliate me, I will not show you any mercy!”
Gu Chaoyan frowned and was extremely furious inwardly. She had never seen a father like this, but she could not do anything about him now. So she just threw him a very cold look. Then she turned around and followed Madame Gu.
They were silent on the way as they went all the way to the Pear Yard.
Pear Yard was probably the most beautifully-decorated place in the whole mansion.
The golden roof and the stone wall were decorated with all kinds of bird patterns with beautiful colors. The carpets were of beautiful embroideries, showing radiant flame.
Gu Zhenkang, the highest-ranked officer in the Gu Family, was working at the temple, so the reason why Madam Gu was able to live in such a luxurious yard was probably because of her mother’s dowries… It was time for her to get everything back.
Madame Gu was walking in front of her, so she had no idea what Gu Chaoyan was thinking.
In Madame Gu’s eyes, Gu Chaoyan had been a very obedient person.
It was not until Madame Gu took a seat that she said slowly, “Do you know what I need to tell you, when I asked you to come here?”
Gu Chaoyan shook her head. If Madame Gu had not asked her to sit down, she should not have.
“You are going into the court the day after tomorrow, you have to be very discreet about how to behave and what to say, after all the court is very different. Don’t mention a thing about what you experienced in childhood. And be sure not to do anything wrong this time; obey Ruxue carefully.”
“…”
“And do not be unconvinced and displeased. Ruxue is your second sister, she is prettier and smarter than you, she is one of the most talented girls in the Saint Divine Land. Now she is going to be the Princess Consort, so listen to her and help her, all will be fine.”
“…”
“As long as you listen and help her, she will know that you are a good girl and she will help you when you need it.”
“…”
“Got it?” Madame Gu asked. She would not have said a thing in the past, but now Gu Chaoyan stood out for her medical skills and prescriptions, so she had to remind her for the two sisters. If Chaoyan could help Ruxue with her medical skills, Ruxue was definitely going to have a better and better life. Only in this way would the Gu Mansion become better too.
Instead of replying directly, Gu Chaoyan said, with eyes gazing at Madame Gu, “What makes you so sure it will be me asking her for help, not her asking me for help?”
