Chapter 395 - Request
Chapter 395: Request
Cai Ming was worried that the Old Master would take out his anger upon Madame Gu, so she was about to explain something, however, Gu Zhenkang already raised his feet, ready to walk into the room.
Cai Ming was surprised and got very excited – was the Old Master visiting Madame Gu because he was worried about her?
Cai Ming could tell that even if Madame Gu showed a look of indifference, Madame Gu loved her children more than anything else in the world. Now Princess Gu was gone, and what Madame Gu cared about above all was whether the Old Master was thinking about his mother. However, apart from asking for things, the Old Master never appeared again.
That made Madame Gu extremely disappointed. Now the Old Master was here once again.
Instead of thinking about anything more, Cai Ming got up, getting ready to prepare for some tea.
In the room.
Gu Zhenkang had intended to walk in with a frown, yet seeing that the room turned out to be neat and clean, he unknitted his eyebrows. Seeing Madame Gu lying in bed, Gu Zhenkang showed a very guilty look, almost bursting into tears.
“What is going on?” Madame Gu asked.
“Something happened. I never expected that Mrs. Gu was so narrow-minded! She tried to set up Chaoyan because she disliked Mrs. Lin. It was okay if she did that before, but now, Chaoyan is marrying Lord Huai! How could she do anything like this? We should think about the interest of our mansion!” Gu Zhenkang complained.
Madame Gu got a bit worried as well after hearing what he had said. Gu Chaoyan was not to be framed.
“Mom, come and be the manager of the mansion. We need you!” Gu Zhenkang suggested.
Madame Gu looked moved. She had thought about leaving everything behind, because the daughters of the Gu Mansion were marrying good people, and the Gu Mansion should stand still although not many benefits would be brought.
Now… She had not expected that Mrs. Gu was being so stupid. She was becoming an enemy with Lord Huai!
Chaoyan had Lord Huai as a supporter whilst Ruxue had Lord Ling as a supporter, if these two men were involved, the Gu Mansion would have to suffer seriously.
She had to stand out and press down Mrs. Gu! Only in this way could the Gu Mansion experience peace.
Seeing that Madame Gu did not deny directly, Gu Zhenkang realized that his request was possible. So he continued. “Mom, the whole mansion will get messy without you!”
Madame Gu sighed, then she nodded.
“I can come and stay in charge, but I am not healthy enough to see to everything. You have to take over when necessary.” Madame Gu said.
That was her effort. She was not going to live for much longer, and her son had to be able to support the whole mansion and learn something from her.
Gu Zhenkang nodded constantly. “I will! And I will get you a new yard, it is too inconvenient here.”
Madame Gu did not reject the proposal.

At the Qiong Pavilion.
Gu Chaoyan had already got her stuff ready for the Saint College, when she wondered what happened because Sword One was absent.
Sword One hurried back and placed the package on the table. “Miss, we don’t have to give out our stuff. Madame Gu doesn’t need our help any more.”
“What is it?”
