Chapter 311: Gu Yunxuan and Gu Yunhe 1

The letter delivered to the army was quite simple, so Madame Gu and Gu Chaoyan were not mentioned. The reason why Gu Yunhe asked about Madame Gu was because he was treated very nicely back at home by Madame Gu. It was quite reasonable that he asked about her whereabouts.

As for Gu Chaoyan... he just could not believe that the ugly and chubby trash would be able to have achieved so much. So when he heard the rumor on the way, he needed to interrogate that girl personally.

When the two women were mentioned at the dinner, Gu Zhenkang let out a small cough, looking slightly displeased.

Mrs. Gu added, “He, why are you asking about these two people at the dinner table? We can talk about this later.”

Hearing this, both Gu Yunhe and Gu Yunxuan became quite curious.

Gu Chaoyan could be ignored, but Madame Gu enjoyed the highest position in the mansion, so why should she be ignored? Actually, they hoped that some of the rumors were true, so that Gu Chaoyan could be capable enough not to ruin the Gu Mansion like before.

Gu Yunhe was still trying to ask something when he sensed something strange. So he nodded and smiled. “Let’s eat!”

Then the dinner continued, but Gu Yunhe’s words ruined the atmosphere, so the dinner went on very quietly all the way to the end.

Gu Zhenkang let out a sigh and said, “Come with me, you two.”

The two boys were guided into the study. He had to tell the two sons what happened to the family, sooner or later. So instead of concealing anything, Gu Zhenkang asked the maid to serve tea and then started to tell the story. “Madame Gu has been very unwell since Princess Gu’s incident. The doctor says that she had a stroke. So I am in charge of the family nowadays, and she should not be disturbed. We were thinking about moving her to Qingfeng Yard these two days, so that she could have a quieter environment, but we were preparing for your return, so the whole matter was postponed.”

“Madame Gu insisted that you should stay in the military, so we did not mention your return to her, fearing that she would disapprove of this. However, we will tell her soon.” Gu Zhenkang said helplessly.

Gu Yunhe’s face sank as the military was mentioned.

They could have stayed at the capital as the rich young masters. They had businesses and their father worked for the government, but Madame Gu insisted that they should go to the military, saying that they would be given great jobs once they achieved something in the military. They could not argue with Madame Gu, so they accepted the order. However, their time at the military camp was so bitter and miserable, and they had achieved nothing.

He could understand why the Gu Mansion made the decision back then, but now things are different. Lord Ling was going to help them, and they needed to fear nothing.

The only hope and love they had towards Madame Gu was now gone, when they heard what Gu Zhenkang said.

Gu Yunhe decided to ignore her directly. She better not send him back to the army.

“Don’t worry, just wait until you get her the new yard,” Gu Yunhe said casually and then asked curiously, “We heard that the trash Gu Chaoyan made it into Saint College, and she was able to tolerate a lot of wine too! And she opened a restaurant called Yellow Crane with Lord Huai? Are all of these real?”
