Ms. Doctor Divine

However, he had not expected that Chaoyan would feel so concerned about him!

He caressed Gu Chaoyan’s head and said, “I am fine.”

“...”

“What matters to me is the Queen and Xunyang, as for my father... I have been aware since I was a little boy of what he is up to, so I am not sad about those things.”

“...”

“I am just telling you what has happened, so please don’t be sad,” Zhou Huaijin said with a soft voice.

Despite what he had assured her, Gu Chaoyan still felt a bit concerned for him.

The King was his father, but he even sacrificed him for what he desired. Even though Lord Huai did not care, that was not what a father should do! Gu Chaoyan felt really annoyed.

Seeing the scene, Zhou Huaijin said with a smile, “Actually, it is a good thing if my Lord Huai’s Mansion is made into the Heir’s Mansion. There is an underground passage inside Lord Huai’s Mansion, which was built when I was little. Me and the people from Shadow Door have become so strong that the passage isn’t handy any more, but now, the passage should be helpful! So it will be totally within our control, when the Heir’s Mansion is built inside Lord Huai’s Mansion!”

...

Only then did Gu Chaoyan feel slightly more assured, but she was still feeling very concerned about him, though he did not care much about what he was faced with.

“What do you plan to do with your own mansion?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

“Lord Huai’s Mansion is now being built into the Heir’s Mansion, so my own mansion should be on its way to me. But I am not sure about their final decision. Those from the Ministry are just trying to suck up to the Heir so they will not care about where I live.”

“...”

“We don’t have so many servants at the mansion, so through this opportunity, I am able to clean away those unnecessary existences, and there will be even fewer people remaining attached to us. Don’t worry, everything is within my control,” Zhou Huaijin said.

...

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Those unnecessary existences, to be more specifically, were spies from the King and Honored Princess Jing, as well as the Empress Dowager.

It should be a good thing, when those groups were cleared away. Otherwise no one dared to do anything or say anything inside the mansion.

As they were talking, Mo Bing came and whispered something into Zhou Huaijin’s ears.

Zhou Huaijin waved goodbye to Gu Chaoyan and left in a hurry.

Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, was drinking tea in her own yard.

After a few sips, she was suddenly reminded of something.

Xie Yan was a man with a brain, and judging from what he had said and done in the past, he seemed to be a man with a long vision. So she wondered what Xie Yan was thinking now that the King made such a decision.

Xie Yan was under her support right now, so Gu Chaoyan was going to make good use of this man for the two months that he stayed here.

That would make his full stay here useful.

As she was thinking about it, she asked Sword One to bring the man over.

Soon Sword One came with Xie Yan, who seemed rather unwilling.

Well... He had to be present, since he was living in Xinlin Mansion.

Seeing the way he looked, Gu Chaoyan ignored his helpless look and asked him to take a seat. She asked interestedly, “Well, let me tell you one thing...”
