NovelEnglishChapter 283: The Jiang Mansion
Gu Chaoyan had once treated Madame Jiang, and she succeeded in helping her recover. That was why Madame Jiang had been taking her side all this time. Since he had no idea what the Jiang Family needed of her, he should not be punishing her at this moment.
Gu Ruxue was not very pleased by how Gu Zhenkang behaved after hearing that the Jiang Family was here. She threw herself back into the chair, looking gloomy.
She threw an even more disdainful look at Gu Chaoyan, as she clenched the mug in her hands, glaring at Gu Chaoyan fiercely.

That made Gu Ruxue even more annoyed. Her hands shook, as the tea spilled out of the mug and ran over her hand. She let out a scream, then came a maid who helped her to wipe the water off. Gu Ruxue got even more furious. She smashed the mug on the maid and said, “What do I need you for, when you can’t even do this simple thing well?!”
The maid did not dare to move an inch though she was already burned. She just stood on the spot, shivering from head to toe.
Gu Chaoyan frowned. She truly did not like how Gu Ruxue treated the servants, but she did not dare to point that out. If she did, Gu Ruxue might treat this maid even worse.
Seeing that someone from Jiang Mansion was on the way, Gu Zhenkang waved at the maid impatiently, “Just leave now.”
The maid left directly. Then another maid came to serve Gu Ruxue.
Due to what happened to the previous maid, she was shivering even more as she stood next to Gu Ruxue.
The housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion walked in and showed a very nice smile at the sight of Gu Chaoyan. “Greetings, Lady Chaoyan.”

Then Uncle Jiang greeted Gu Zhenkang and said, “Officer Gu, Madame Jiang heard that Chaoyan has arrived home from the successful examination at Saint College, she asked me to bring Lady Chaoyan home to us for a short stay.”
Then he explained after he took a look at Gu Zhenkang. “Don’t worry, Officer Gu, there are not so many people at our mansion. General passed away a long while ago, and only one of the Queen’s children is living there, as well as Madame Jiang. Sometimes Lord Huai comes and visits us, so nothing serious will happen.”
Gu Zhenkang showed a bright smile. Of course he would approve of that proposal. If she could spend some time at the Jiang Mansion, then it meant that the Gu Mansion and the Jiang Mansion would have a relationship with each other, and that would make everything better. Gu Zhenkang approved of the proposal directly and thought that the girl was a little useful in some way.
“I am totally assured about her staying next to Madame Jiang. Just take her, as you want.” Gu Zhenkang said with a look of flattery. Then he turned to Gu Chaoyan with a look of seriousness. “While you are at the Jiang Mansion, do remember to take good care of Madame Jiang, understand? Don’t make her unhappy!” He had intended to make some threat, when he stopped himself. The housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion was here, so he should not have behaved too obviously.
Gu Chaoyan threw a flat look at Gu Zhenkang, saying nothing more.
Gu Zhenkang had no patience to talk with Gu Chaoyan any more. He waved his hands. “Just leave with Housekeeper Jiang, and bring the luggage you brought to Saint College. There is nothing left at the mansion now.”
He was very worried that Housekeeper Jiang would ask someone to help her pack up at the Qiong Pavilion.
