1635 Agreement 1

Uncle Zhou used to work for the Jiang Family, but when the young Lord Huai moved out of the Jiang Family and lived on his own, the Queen was worried, so she transferred him to Lord Huais Mansion.

It had been years since that happened.

He was experienced and old, and he had witnessed everything in the capital.

The King grounded Lord Huai because he wanted him to die alone in the mansion, with no future. Before something happened to Lord Huais Mansion, no one visited Lord Huai, but now that Lord Huai was grounded, everyone was staying even farther away from it.

If Lady Chaoyan wanted to stay away from them, that was totally reasonable, but Lady Chaoyan came to them, so Uncle Zhou personally hoped that she would not be involved. She had had a bad time in her childhood, but she was the Phoenix Girl so she was on the rise. It was not good for her to be dragged down.

!!

That was why he made that speech and got worried, but as a servant he could not possibly drive her away, so he had to lead her to the Warm Pavilion.

As they reached the Pavilion, Uncle Zhou reminded her. Lady Chaoyan, Lord Huai is inside the Pavilion. I will come to serve you some tea, after you go in.

Lady Chaoyan liked tea and was very particular about her tea as well. Uncle Zhou did not know Lady Chaoyan well, but he learned that from Lord Huai.

There were no servants working for the mansion. Some were even leaning towards the court. Uncle Zhou was not a.s.sured about their loyalty. They even offered Lord Huai cold tea.

Uncle Zhou did not want Lady Chaoyan to be served badly, so he went to fetch the tea personally.

Gu Chaoyan thanked Uncle Zhou and walked into the Pavilion.

The mansion was the second place that Lord Huai moved into, because the original one was given to Zhou Huailing for expansion.

The Pavilion was very shabby, only containing a few vases and a few books.

Zhou Huaijin was inside, dressed in a long robe. He was reading, but as Gu Chaoyan approached him and saw that the book was upside down. She was amused. The book is upside down! Can you read what is inside?

Of course. Zhou Huaijin said confidently, Its not as good as it is to hold and make a profit. If you try to keep it sharp, you cant always keep it. The hall is full of gold and jade, dont be proud of your wealth and honor, but blame yourself. Leave when you make an achievement, that is the way destiny should be

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at the book. That was right when read upside down, but Gu Chaoyan did not think that was how he read it. It was just that he remembered the contents.

She was amused and laughed.

Zhou Huaijin did not continue with that. He stood up and sat down by Gu Chaoyans side. He asked gently, What are you doing here?

He knew that she was here, the moment she arrived outside Lord Huais Mansion. He had been waiting for her all this time.

He was waiting for Uncle Zhou to bring her here, and for her to finish the conversation with Uncle Zhou.

For another, there is something I need to tell you. Monsters are already appearing in the capital. Soon chaos will dominate the country. The Cangyan Door, Piaomiao Pavilion and Snow Territory are not reliable. I wonder how they are going to protect themselves, Gu Chaoyan said, sadly.

Zhou Huaijin did not panic after hearing her words.

Instead, he smiled.
