Ms. Doctor Divine

He would have asked Lord to spend the night with Ruxue directly, if not for Mrs. Gu’s prevention. They were getting married anyway, and it would be best if they could make sure that the couple was firmly set.

Gu Zhenkang had the intention, but he still listened to Mrs. Gu’s words and stopped that thought.

Mrs. Gu was a lady born from an officer’s family and she knew a lot of rules. Normally, a concubine did not have to obey those rules, so Gu Zhenkang shook his head.

Zhou Huailing felt that Gu Zhenkang seemed much more affable than before.

“Father-in-law, I am here discussing about getting Ruxue to my mansion. I have been thinking that even if Ruxue has not yet become an adult, it is always better if she can move into my place as soon as possible. My wife and concubines haven’t given birth to any children, so if Ruxue can move into my mansion and get pregnant, maybe she can become the Princess Consort instead.”

“…”

“As for the adulthood ceremony, we can have it at my mansion and it can be big.” Zhou Huailing promised and then looked at Gu Zhenkang. “What do you think, father?”

He was sure that Gu Zhenkang was going to say yes to that proposal.

He was just following the routine, and if Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl, he would do whatever he could to please Gu Zhenkang anyway.

Gu Zhenkang was totally dumbfounded as he heard the words. He had been worried that the longer the wedding was postponed, the more potential accidents would pop up, but he just did not expect that a few meetings between them had made Lord Ling urgently want to take her home.

Gu Zhenkang felt so joyful inwardly.

He was about to nod, when Lord Ling continued. “It is a little bit urgent, but I believe that I am able to have a grand, fancy feast for Ruxue to marry me.”

He was not trying to save face for the Gu Family, but for himself. Because in this way, when Ruxue’s real identity was revealed to the public, she would not be embarrassed.

Gu Zhenkang was shocked. He knew that normally a concubine did not get any wedding feast, and just got carried into the mansion with a litter. However, Lord was marrying Ruxue as if she were the Princess Consort.

Then the Gu Mansion was definitely going to be…

Well, Gu Zhenkang just could not imagine what might happen. And the Lord was calling him father just now!

Well… Gu Zhenkang nodded constantly. “Sure, we are getting ready too, so we are seeing Ruxue off with a large feast too!”

Zhou Huailing nodded with satisfaction. Since the deal was done, he was no longer wasting any more time.

“Then I am off now for rest.” Having said this, he got up and left.

Gu Zhenkang got so excited that he even forgot to see him off. When he got back to himself and realized what happened, Lord Ling was already gone. He thought for a moment and then headed to the Begonia Yard. Ruxue was going to be very happy to hear the news, and she was getting ready too! He should tell Mrs. Gu about getting ready as well. Half a month was not a long time, and Ruxue should be treated well.

He rushed to Ruxue’s place, where she was eating grapes.

Seeing her father hurrying in, she got confused. “Dad, what is it?”

“Ruxue, you are my good daughter! Lord Ling just told me that he is marrying you as soon as possible, in the manner of the Princess Consort. You are a great honor for us!” Gu Zhenkang said excitedly.

“What?” Gu Ruxue stopped eating the grapes. “Really? I am going to talk with the Lord now!”

Then she hurried off.
