“The marriage arrangent is gone.” Mada Gu said with a concerned tone.
What she was concerned about was not about the broken marriage arrangent, but about the potential alliance she had intended to establish. If she could marry Chaoyan to the son of the officer of the Ministry of Revenue, maybe her son’s position could be promoted. Even other n of the mansion, like Yunhe and Yuxuan might be able to get so benefits.
Now... She was feeling so heart-broken to see the ruined marriage arrangent.
Chaoyan was unlike Ruxue, who was pretty and intelligent. Ruxue could marry almost anyone in the capital city, but Chaoyan was not pretty or smart, and she was divorced! Who else would want to marry her, when they missed the officer of the Ministry of Revenue!
Mada Gu almost burst into tears.
Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh. She had no emotion stirred up inside her as her gaze was upon Mada Gu, because she knew pretty well that Mada Gu was not feeling sorry for her.
However, in order to avoid a similar case happening again, Gu Chaoyan said, “Just let bygones be bygones. I am a friend of Lord Huai now, so I can beg Lord Huai for help in marital arrangent later.”
“...”
“Aren’t you assured when Lord Huai offers his help?”
What?
Mada Gu stopped crying and looked at Gu Chaoyan. Then a touch of joy hovered over her face as she realized what she ant. “Is that true?”
“Of course.” Gu Chaoyan replied with a serious tone.
Maybe it was because Gu Chaoyan’s tone of confirmation, maybe it was because Mada Gu had a very high expectation, but Mada Gu started to plan a picture of how the Gu Mansion would be able to flourish in her head again, after hearing the words.
She stopped the tears from dripping, then she nodded constantly. “Okay, okay, that sounds great.”
“...”
“The deceased can’t revive, so we have no choice but to drop the marriage arrangent. But they have visited us for the marriage proposal, so we have to express our appreciation at their mansion after all.” Mada Gu said, “You can go ho now. It is still early, and I can visit them now.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She had no intention of lingering at the front yard.
She was in a hurry to check up the fruit trees in the space. So the mont Madam Gu left, she headed back to the Qiong Pavilion.
Qing was preparing the food whilst Sword One was getting the hot water ready. As she was alone, Gu Chaoyan sneaked into her space.
The mont she entered the space, she could sense the fresh air.
Then she took a closer look around and found that fruits already grew on all of the trees.
Gu Chaoyan was overjoyed.
She had never expected that this space was so legendary that the trees planted there could grow so fast. What was more, Gu Chaoyan found the space getting larger and larger, creating even more vacancy for more planting possibilities.
It seed that she had to find even more herbs to plant.
Before she left, Gu Chaoyan poured so more magical water into the fruit trees and picked so fruits from the branches.
She would like people to have a taste of what those fruits were like.
She placed the fruits upon the plate in the room.
Qing ca in and said, “Miss, the food is ready, co and eat sothing.”
The words had just been spoken when Qing spotted the fruits on the table.
She looked confused. “Where did those fruits co from? I did not put them here...”
“Maybe Madam Gu got them delivered here. Anyway, Qing, have a taste, they look so delicious.” Gu Chaoyan said.
“Those fruits do look very wonderful.” Qing said and took a bite of the fruit.
“How is it?” Gu Chaoyan asked expectantly.
