Chapter 1469 Grudge
Chapter 1469 Grudge
Gu Zhenkang's face became increasingly twisted as he sorted out Begonia Yard without saying another word.
Gu Chaoyan went into the room to take a break, whilst Sword One led the servants and helpers to get their award. Gu Chaoyan was very generous. To those that picked small pieces, they were offered another piece. So suddenly, there was a great air at Begonia Yard.
Those servants were very glad to meet a generous mistress, which was good luck for them and made them happy.
When Sword One was done with that, she went to prepare the hot water for Elder Miss to take a bath.
Gu Chaoyan asked Qing to run some small errands at Xinlin Mansion, so Qing was gone. Only Sword One was taking care of Gu Chaoyan, so she was quite busy. When Qing came in a few days, she would be less busy.
Sword One helped Gu Chaoyan to remove her dress as Gu Chaoyan said happily, "Just leave the chores for those from the court so that you can take care of me. You don't have to do everything personally, that will tire you out."
"Elder Miss, I am worried about you…" Sword One said worriedly.
"Nothing to worry about. I am the Phoenix Girl, so the King dare not do anything. These servants are working for him, so you don't need to worry about anything. We can make full use of them." Gu Chaoyan said, "We are in a better position right now, so we don't need to be as wary as before."
Having said that, Gu Chaoyan walked towards the wooden bucket.
The water was at a mild temperature. Sword One had become used to working for her so she knew about her hobbies and habits, so she rarely made any mistakes.
Gu Chaoyan closed her eyes and took a break in the warm water.
Sword One was rubbing her back.
Gu Chaoyan's skin had become very fair, and it reflected with some redness in the warm water. It was much better than the skin she had in her previous life, thanks to the magical water, which beautifies people.
When she was done taking a bath, Gu Chaoyan went to bed.
She fell asleep the moment her head touched the pillow.
She had ordered that the servants from the court should serve her overnight, but Sword One still wanted to be on watch personally.
Elder Miss did not sleep deeply, but she did not expect anything bad to happen.
It was already very bright outside when she woke up the following day.
Gu Chaoyan slept well and had regained her energy. She was sitting on the chair for makeup.
The servants who dressed her and combed her hair were from the court.
They behaved very timidly in front of the Phoenix Girl, worrying that they would make some mistake that might irritate her. If the Phoenix Girl was irritated, she might even order a death penalty on them.
Chen Fu's voice arose. "Elder Miss, I am here to inform you of what the Old Master says. He is asking you to have breakfast with them in the front yard. They are already there."
"Okay." Gu Chaoyan answered coldly.
The maids said, "We will hurry up."
"No need. Take it slow, as slow as possible," Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly.
The maids did not understand what she meant, but they still did what they were told.
Gu Chaoyan was not in a hurry. She sat there quietly for the maids to dress her.
The maids, who were worried, gradually relaxed upon seeing that she was sitting quietly.
At the front yard…
Gu Zhenkang had thought that she would show up after the message, but the breakfast had been reheated twice, and she was still not there. He urged Chen Fu to pass on the message again.
Gu Ruxue was already furious. She slammed her chopsticks onto the table.
