He looked very proud. He had two son-in-laws who were lords and two daughters yet to be engaged. Although the Young Duke was just a duke, Duke North was still an indispensable existence in the whole capital city. Duke North had done a great deal for the country and he had gained absolute popularity among civilians.
If he could beco his father-in-law, then he would definitely have a glorious life. How could he give this kind of opportunity up?
What was more, he and Duke North’s Mansion had no communication before, and when Chaoyan saved him, it was totally reasonable for him to marry soone from the Gu Family. It was ti for him to pay back what he had gotten from the Gu Family.
Mada Gu had turned so dumb after staying for so long in the remote yard. Why didn’t she think of this point at all? Gu Zhenkang shook his head, looking disappointed.
Hearing his explanation, Mada Gu shook her head. “No, you can’t do that, it is against etiquette!”
Wanru was the concubine’s daughter, soone yet to beco an adult, she could not just show herself whenever she wanted. That was totally unruly!
“You must not go and get her, let’s see what the Young Duke wants first!” Mada Gu insisted.
Gu Zhenkang frowned. He was displeased. He asked Madam Gu to take over the mansion, not because he needed her to play dumb and drag him down. How could he give up such a great opportunity!
“Chen Fu, go and get Third Lady, Mada Gu is too old to stay clear-minded. We have to bring her here now!” Gu Zhenkang insisted, and then turned to Mada Gu with displeasure.
“No, you mustn’t!” Mada Gu insisted, but she could not move as she sat there on the chair. Cai Ming did not dare to make any move right now.
Gu Zhenkang ignored her. He flung his sleeves and was about to leave. “Cai Ming, bring Mada Gu.”
Then he left ignoring Mada Gu.
Mada Gu was totally disappointed and desperately seated on the chair, “How could he do that?!”
He ignored her and started to do sothing terrible!
She had thought that when he asked her for help, it was because he had thought through many things.
Cai Ming did not know what to do. She was a servant and she could not scold the Old Master. Even if she did make so complaints, Mada Gu might not be pleased either. After all, Mada Gu cared about her son so much.
She sighed inwardly and consoled. “Don’t worry, Mada Gu, Old Master hopes that the Gu Mansion could flourish, you are just using different thods to make it happen.”
Mada Gu kept shaking her head, constantly.
It was not about thods, it was about etiquettes. He was not possibly able to make the mansion flourish in this way!
However, she did not expect that soone like Cai Ming would fathom the point. She sighed. “You don’t understand!”
Cai Ming said nothing more, nor did Mada Gu.
When they ca to the front yard, Gu Zhenkang and the Young Duke were drinking tea.
Young Duke was surprised. “What are you doing here Mada Gu, you are not in good health and you should rest.”
“I am here to see you, Young Duke. I am fine.” Mada Gu said with a smile.
Young Duke flushed. He waved his hand and said, “I am not here for anything special, just wondering... if Lady Chaoyan is in?”
