Zhou Huailing did have feelings for Gu Ruxue, but that was mostly because she was the Phoenix Girl. However, he did not like it if she became clever.
The Gu Mansion used to be a very minor mansion in the past, and Gu Ruxue could not even be considered a noble lady. The only thing that was a little different was that there used to be a Princess Gu born in the mansion. As he approached Gu Ruxue, the whole mansion started to suck up to him.
He was very happy to be treated like that. And he was happy that Gu Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl too! However, what he had not expected was that one day, Gu Ruxue would bee smart! She was clearly aware of how important she was as the Phoenix Girl.
What Gu Ruxue had said was simply telling him that there were many lords in the capital whilst there was only one Phoenix Girl in the whole world. She also indicated that she could choose whoever she wanted, and that person she chose would bee the heir.
He had always thrown his temper at Gu Ruxue, because he never expected that Gu Ruxue would have seen this point.
However, what she had said today was different. Apparently she was pretty aware of this point by now and she seemed to be quite satisfied by his Eighth Brother.
Zhou Huailing had the urge to kill Gu Ruxue at that moment, but he had no choice, but to tolerate whatever she was doing at the moment.
When Gu Ruxue betrayed him with another man, he had to ignore that. When Gu Ruxue praised the Eighth Brother, he had to ignore that too.
That was only because he was still far from the throne, and he needed Gu Ruxue as the Phoenix Girl!
Zhou Huailing’s anger disappeared within one second.
Soon he showed a gentle smile, as he took hold of Gu Ruxue’s hands and said gently. “Ruxue, you are my Princess Consort, how can you say things like that?
“Yes, it was my mistake to have lectured you like this. I should not have thrown my temper at you or mentioned the previous Princess Consort, even if I am met with something unhappy. She is not as good as you at all!
“I am just worried, so I got angry. Things went so terribly today, especially when Gu Chaoyan took out a phoenix! Although my father ordered that the news should not be spread, many people were present at the Spring Hunt, so the news will be leaked sooner or later. I am just worried about you, because when the news is out, you will be the one that suffers,” Zhou Huailing said and showed a look of worry to Gu Ruxue.
Gu Ruxue had already dropped the arrogant air of hers.
Honestly, Lord Ling had been treating her well and planned everything for her sake, except that he got anxious when running into some affairs.
Like what he was doing right now, he was still doing this for her.
Gu Ruxue sighed and cuddled in Zhou Huailing’s arms and said with a sigh, “Lord, you have suffered a lot!”
When she finished speaking, Gu Ruxue suddenly thought of something. She noticed that it was still not very late yet.
“Let’s not go back to the mansion today, take me to Gu Mansion now.” Gu Ruxue said anxiously, “Lord, you are right, too many people have seen the phoenix today, and the news will be spread. We have to deal with it now. Gu Chaoyan isn’t a big deal, but I can talk with my father about how to deal with it.”
Hearing these words, Zhou Huailing believed that it made sense. He had been too angry just now to realize that it was an urgent matter to deal with.
The phoenix had been following Gu Chaoyan’s order, but that did not necessarily mean that it belonged to Gu Chaoyan.
They could get the phoenix and take it as their own.
“Go to the Gu Mansion now!” Zhou Huailing said directly.
