Chapter 279: Lord Yu Offered Help
Liu Zongyuan’s face sank after hearing what his wife said, but he could do nothing at the moment. He was not sure which side Lord was taking. Normally, he should favor him because he was an officer.
These lords might live a luxurious life right now, but no one knew what they were going to be like in the future. They should focus upon gathering forces rather than standing up for a commoner.
“What did you say?” Zhou Huaiyu asked indifferently.
“Liu Hanxiang failed the examination.” Gu Chaoyan repeated honestly.
Hahaha. Zhou Huaiyu suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed for a very long time before he pointed at Liu Zongyuan and asked, “So this is your family business? Why should it be concealed? You, Liu Zongyuan, you are not high in rank, but you do know how to bully people. Luckily, Miss. Gu is not injured, Otherwise you would be seriously punished! Miss. Gu’s sister is soon going to marry my brother Lord Ling, and the Gu Family is not a common family! How dare you offend them!”
What?! Liu Zongyuan felt sweat dripping off his head. He never knew that this girl was from an official’s family. She was dressed too plainly to be recognized as someone with a great background. If he had known anything about that, he would have stopped his wife directly!
“Miss. Gu...” Liu Zongyuan got so anxious that he wanted to give a full explanation.
Zhou Huaiyu glared back at him. “What?!”
Then he walked with Gu Chaoyan and Li Yuanxiang and said cheerfully, “Great that you won! We have won big!”
Gu Chaoyan frowned slightly. She was definitely going to win a great deal of money in this bet, because everyone thought that County Princess Anxi would win, but County Princess Anxi disappointed them. She was eliminated on the first day!
However, hearing that they were winning big, she looked at Zhou Huaiyu. “Why are you so happy?”
Zhou Huaiyu laughed. Then he whispered. “I joined the bet too! We can share the profits. I have got many coins, but not notes. I am just asking if I can give you the note in a couple of days?”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. “Sure.”
It was just a matter of a few days. He could not possibly deny that.
Having said the words, Gu Chaoyan pointed at the sky and said, “It is getting late, we are leaving.”
Zhou Huaiyu was about to say something when he ended up pursing his lips. He smiled, nodded and saw them off, before entering Saint College.
At this moment, the Liu Family did not dare to offend Gu Chaoyan and Li Yuanxiang even with Lord Yu gone. Even Liu Zongyuan started to spare some more looks at Li Yuanxiang. “Yuanxiang, come to me, I need to talk with you.”
Li Yuanxiang looked annoyed. She was about to leave when Liu Zongyuan took a few more steps ahead and stopped Li Yuanxiang. “Yuanxiang, why are you not talking with me?”
Having said these words, he could not wait to ask, “When did you befriend Lord Yu?”
Li Yuanxiang did not befriend Lord Yu at all. It had been Chaoyan who did not allow her to leave, so she had to stand by and listen to their conversation. As a matter of fact, Lord Yu did not talk with her, nor had he seen her before.
Gu Chaoyan had intended to leave when she saw the honest look on Li Yuanxiang’s face. She sighed and walked up to them. “We got to know each other at Saint College. Lord Yu and we get on well with each other, so we all become friends. Officer Liu, are you trying to give Yuanxiang any trouble?”
