1421 Third Lady 1

In his opinion, the Phoenix Girl was always in the Gu Family, so it did not matter which one it was, as long as it was his daughter. So all he needed was to keep the Gu Family’s position and status. Also, he hoped that the Phoenix Girl could open the door to enchantment as soon as possible, so everything would be settled. Otherwise he would always feel unsure, and if any mistakes happened, he would be so embarrassed, together with the Gu Family.

Therefore, he was trying his best to suck up to the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince liked anyone from his family, he could take her, including Xiuying.

Anyway, the Gu Family had to stay the same as before.

Gu Zhenkang was anxious too. He guided Zhou Huailing directly to the Third Concubine’s home instead of informing them of anything.

Third Concubine was very confused when they arrived at the yard.

She had not seen her Old Master for ages, so what was going on here?

The Third Concubine had not yet responded, when she saw the Crown Prince approaching her.

Third Concubine was just on her way to fetch some food for Xiuying and could not believe what was happening in front of her. She rubbed her eyes, trying to make sure that she was not making a mistake.

Seeing that she was not delusional, she turned to the maid behind her. “Is the Old Master here?”

“Yeah, it is him!” The maid sounded excited, as she answered her.

They had not had a good time during the past period, neither the master nor the servants. Now the Old Master was here and they expected the situation might change. If the master lived a better life, the maids would definitely live better as well.

When it was confirmed, Third Concubine could not conceal her happiness, but kneeled down and said, “Greetings, Old Master, and Long live the Crown Prince!”

“Just get up now.” Zhou Huailing sounded gentle.

He would normally never dain to speak with any concubine from the back yard. He found them so filthy that his eyes might be ruined, but today was different.

He knew that this concubine’s daughter might be the Phoenix Girl, who would be useful for him, so he should not look down on people like them, in case anything happened unexpectedly.

That was why he behaved so gently.

Gu Zhenkang wasn’t a very smart person, but he more or less understood how to behave according to the leaders’ facial expressions. So he did not show much emotion either.

Without saying a word, he approached Third Concubine and helped her up. He stressed. “It is very cold these days. Why are you not at home, but out here? You might get sick from getting cold.”

Third Concubine was dumbfounded. Clearly she had no idea what was going on.

She spent decades at the Gu Mansion and it was the first time for the Old Master to treat her so nicely. What happened all of a sudden?

Third Concubine was dumbfounded.

“I will be careful.” Third Concubine answered quietly, but honestly, it was not at all warm inside her home.

“Where is Xiuying?”
