<h4>Chapter 321: Her Own Choice</h4>


    The way Gu Zhenkang talked sounded as if he had been granting someone a great favor.


    Gu Chaoyan’s face sank deeply. That was the first time for her to get really mad since she appeared at the Gu Mansion. Sword One might be a maid, but in Gu Chaoyan’s heart, she was not! Sword One defended her all the time, taking her as first priority. In her heart, Sword One was her own sister, just like Qing.


    Nowadays, Gu Yunhe and Gu Zhenkang thought about taking Sword One as a concubine! She would have killed them both if it were the 21st century. However, now, she had to consider the so-called filial piety. How ridiculous.


    “I say no.” Gu Chaoyan turned them down directly without any hesitation.


    Sword One was going to marry someone in the future, and that man did not have to be a noble person, yet he had to be a great match with Sword One, and Sword One was not going to be just a concubine. Gu Yunhe was not at all a great match. So she would definitely disapprove of this proposal.


    Gu Zhenkang had thought that he was going to get what he wanted directly, so he changed his expression when he heard her words.


    He looked at Gu Chaoyan as if he had misheard something. Then he brought himself back and his expression sank, realizing that she did say a no.


    He looked at Gu Chaoyan with displeasure. “Why not? Your brother is a handsome, noble person. It is her honor that she can be a concubine!”


    Gu Zhenkang was not so arrogant before, but now, he thought that the Gu Mansion would have a promising future soon, and he assumed that he would probably be the future King’s father!


    He thought that he was going to be rted to the imperial court! Then his son should get the best things and people in the whole world. That Sword One was just a maid!


    Gu Yunhe was displeased too. He struck the teacup on the table. “If she was not your maid, I would have just slept with her!”


    Gu Chaoyan tightened her fist. She got so furious that she burst intoughter. With eyes upon Gu Yunhe and Gu Zhenkang, she said, “If that is the case, you can turn to Lord Huai instead. He gave Sword One to me and he owns the contract. I can’t make a decision. If you are able to convince Lord Huai, then I can leave myself out of this matter.”


    The two men shrank when Lord Huai was mentioned. They stayed silent for a long while.


    In the end, Gu Zhenkang let out a small cough in embarrassment. “Lord Huai and you are friends, you can probably talk with him.”


    “I told you, I said no.” Gu Chaoyan said resolutely.


    Gu Zhenkang’s face sank, and then he raised his hand, intending to p Gu Chaoyan.


    Gu Yunhe said confidently, “If you don’t have the contract, you don’t have to get involved. Just ask her what she wants. If she agrees, we can go to Lord Huai and talk with him together.”


    Well... he was a young master of the Gu Mansion. He was confident that Sword One would agree to marry him. After all, her own social status would be changed, and he believed that she would definitely say yes.


    As for Lord Huai... if Sword One agreed, Lord Huai would definitely go with her request. That was her own happiness! Also, Lord Ling was his brother anyway. Therefore, he did not want to waste any time talking with Gu Chaoyan here.


    When Sword One said yes, her disapproval would not work. She was just a divorced woman who did not want to see other women getting happiness.
