Chapter 397: Young Duke’s Visit 2
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 become 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 someone from the Gu Family. It was time for him to pay back what he had gotten from the Gu Family.
Madame 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, Madame Gu shook her head. “No, you can’t do that, it is against etiquette!”
Wanru was the concubine’s daughter, someone yet to become 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!” Madame 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, Madame Gu is too old to stay clear-minded. We have to bring her here now!” Gu Zhenkang insisted, and then turned to Madame Gu with displeasure.
“No, you mustn’t!” Madame 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 Madame Gu.”
Then he left ignoring Madame Gu.
Madame Gu was totally disappointed and desperately seated on the chair, “How could he do that?!”
He ignored her and started to do something 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 some complaints, Madame Gu might not be pleased either. After all, Madame Gu cared about her son so much.
She sighed inwardly and consoled. “Don’t worry, Madame Gu, Old Master hopes that the Gu Mansion could flourish, you are just using different methods to make it happen.”
Madame Gu kept shaking her head, constantly.
It was not about methods, it was about etiquettes. He was not possibly able to make the mansion flourish in this way!
However, she did not expect that someone like Cai Ming would fathom the point. She sighed. “You don’t understand!”
Cai Ming said nothing more, nor did Madame Gu.
When they came to the front yard, Gu Zhenkang and the Young Duke were drinking tea.
Young Duke was surprised. “What are you doing here Madame Gu, you are not in good health and you should rest.”
“I am here to see you, Young Duke. I am fine.” Madame 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?”
