Chapter 464: Proof

Gu Chaoyan got startled when he appeared unexpectedly.

When she saw who it was, she calmed herself down and asked, “What is it?”

Gu Zhenkang looked at the wagon that was leaving. He wanted to snap at her, but did not dare to utter a thing. Instead, he asked, “Why didn’t you ask Lord to stay for dinner?”

Lord Ling refused to eat dinner with Ruxue on her trip back home today, but if Lord Huai could stay for dinner, then things would be totally different.

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at him.

The reason why she asked Zhou Huaijin to not get out of the wagon was because she did not want the Gu Mansion to make use of Zhou Huaijin’s identity as the Lord all the time.

“Lord is busy with something else.” Gu Chaoyan answered briefly.

Gu Zhenkang was very displeased inwardly, but he did not dare to express it.

Gu Chaoyan was exactly like her deceased mother, neither cold nor warm. She sounded so far away, totally unlike Ruxue who was always so caring. He felt extremely distressed as he thought about this.

Neither Mrs. Gu nor Yunhe understood his plan at all. He was sparing no efforts to suck up the daughter of Ms. Lin even though he felt extremely humiliated. He was already very exhausted, but neither of them was showing any support to him.

The Princess Consort of Lord Huai could definitely be made good use of!

Gu Zhenkang stopped thinking about this, as he saw Lord Huai’s wagon disappearing far into the distance.

“Dinner is almost ready, go and have some dinner with us in the front yard.” Gu Zhenkang said. “The Gu Family is very large, and we normally eat at our own yard, but now Ruxue is married, so we could just have one dinner together.”

Gu Zhenkang’s words made sense and Gu Chaoyan simply found no excuse to turn it down. As for what he said about eating at their own yards… That was not the case.

As far as she remembered, only Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu’s children had the right to eat in the front yard. She and the concubine’s children were never allowed to do so.

As they were talking, Gu Chaoyan was already pushed to the front yard.

In the front yard, Gu Chaoyan saw Gu Xiuying and Madame Gu, who were rare guests.

Gu Chaoyan found the whole thing becoming complicated, but in the end, she still took her own seats.

Instead of snapping at Gu Chaoyan, Mrs. Gu added. “Chaoyan, peel a apple for Madame Gu, it is just next to you.”

Gu Chaoyan frowned and looked at what was next to her.

She seemed to understand what Mrs. Gu was up to. So she did what she said.

She was about to peel the apple when Gu Chaoyan was given a push. She could have dodged it, but she didn’t intend to and instead got wounded, so the blood came out.

Lianxiang kneeled down in front of her and said, “Sorry, Elder Miss, it is my fault to have bumped into you.”

“It is fine.” Gu Chaoyan answered. “I will get myself wrapped.”

Mrs. Gu smiled and said directly, “Xiuying, you can go and peel the apple instead.”

Gu Xiuying was extremely displeased. She was the lady not the servant, why must she do something like that? But she did not dare to counter Mrs. Gu, otherwise she might get her marriage ruined. So she took it over.

However, Mrs. Gu found an excuse to leave the room, claiming that she forgot to bring something. The moment she walked out of the room, she looked up into the sky.
