Gu Chaoyan looked up at Qing.
Qing explained quickly. “They gave us a lot of jewelry, which was missing before in the list! The dowries are not completed!”
Qing was really excited.
In Qing’s eyes, those things did not just an the jewelry, but the blessing from Mrs. Lin. These were all what Mrs. Lin left to Elder Miss, and they should be complete.
Only now did Gu Chaoyan understand the story. That was indeed what happened.
Gu Zhenkang did promise to complete the list, and he accomplished his promise very fast.
It seed that Gu Zhenkang did not want to pay attention to Ms. Lin and herself, after knowing that one of his daughters was the Phoenix Girl.
Well… She did not care about that.
“Qing, just get those things into the storage.” Gu Chaoyan said.
Qing nodded and then headed to do that.
Gu Chaoyan decided to take a small break.
She had just laid down in the chair when Zhou Huaijin hurried in. He did not co to Gu Chaoyan directly, but removed his coat and walked about the fire basin for a while just to get rid of the cold, before coming to Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan was about to get up at the sight of him, but Zhou Huaijin pushed her down and said, “Just stay still. I am here to see if you are doing well. I am pleased to see you here.”
Gu Chaoyan chuckled.
“That makes you happy already?”
“Of course not, it would be better if you could kiss .” Zhou Huaijin raised his eyebrows as he approached Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan flushed completely. She pushed him away and said with a scolding tone, “They are watching us!”
“Then we can do it when no one is watching?” Zhou Huaijin’s eyes sparkled. He looked very expantant.
Gu Chaoyan had not expected that he would tease her like this. She turned around and refused to talk with him.
Zhou Huaijin laughed. “I am joking with you, don’t take it too seriously.”
Only now did Gu Chaoyan feel slightly satisfied.
Zhou Huaijin passed her a cup of tea and said, “I have been busy receiving guests from the Fan Nation, so I have not seen you for ages. Father isn’t picking on you, is he?”
Gu Chaoyan shook her head. If she did not want to get picked on, no one would succeed in picking on her.
“I am fine, but… the King took away the Queen’s authority token, and the Empress Dowager isn’t a piece of cake, so I am worried.” Gu Chaoyan confessed.
Zhou Huaijin smiled.
“You don’t have to worry about my mother. As long as she thinks through the whole thing, the Empress Dowager would not be able to trouble her at all.”
He had just received so ssage from his mother. His mother was telling him to handle so errands.
He was now certain that the Queen had thought through everything, which was a good thing.
He never believed that his father was a man with integrity, and it was great that his mother saw through things.
However, his mother still refused to leave the palace. She was waiting for an answer. She hoped to know what changed the King.
He understood that his mother never started anything which she could not stick to till the end. However, he knew his father well. His father never exposed his true feelings unless it was necessary. His mother would not know the truth until Destiny Monk appeared and the Phoenix Girl ca in handy.
Zhou Huaijin raised his hand to touch Gu Chaoyan’s face.
The mont his hands touched her face, Xiu Jie’s anxious voice arose from outside. “Elder Miss, sothing just happened to Yellow Crane. So people from the Fan Nation said that we made the wine from their recipes that we stole!”
