Chapter 946: Small Move
She didn’t think that Zhou Huaiyu was wrong about putting forward the proposal, although it wasn’t a long-term trick. It was just a very dishonest thing to do, when they intended to hold the collaboration equal and open. However, they were confronted with the imperial power at the moment, and it was the King of the Feather Mulberry Land who summoned her to the court for discussion. Since they were unable to overe his power directly, they could possibly do some small tricks to defend their own interests, but she was not planning to do so.
“I offered the profit-sharing of my own accord, so I plan to stick to the promise.” Gu Chaoyan said lightly, “I told the King that I offered the profits for Prince Muyi’s sake, so Prince Muyi didn’t have to stay grounded for so long. I was very serious about this.”
“…”
“It is a very great state, when four countries keep their own territory and make sure that their civilians live well, but the Feather Mulberry Land is obviously declining,and if it continues in this way, the Feather Mulberry Land will sooner or later get engulfed by any of the other three countries. I can help the Feather Mulberry Land, since someone like Prince Muyi is living here.”
“…”
“It is just a matter of money, but I don’t have to make so many efforts to earn 1/4 of the ine, which is already a lot for me. Also, with the King supporting the Luo’s, the Luo’s will be well protected in other aspects too. So, the King can just be given what he needs,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
That was what she had been thinking at the beginning. Yet the King appeared beyond expectation.
Muyi should think about the solutions of every potential problem that might e after. This was all she could do at the moment.
Zhou Huaiyu looked at Gu Chaoyan.
He started to think that he did not know Gu Chaoyan well at all, after hearing what she said and thought.
He thought that she was just a woman with small tricks, but after experiencing the Luo’s with her, he believed that she was a woman with some evil ideas. However, hearing what she said today, Zhou Huaiyu started to think that she was a woman with a big heart. A man would only consider himself to start with, yet she was thinking about other civilians.
Zhou Huaiyu felt that the trip with his Eighth Brother this time was all worth the while.
It was his Eighth Brother’s luck to marry a Princess Consort like this. No wonder his Eighth Brother told the King that Chaoyan was the only one he desired.
If he had been lucky enough to meet someone like her, he would not desire anyone else either.
Zhou Huaiyu looked a bit distracted.
Gu Chaoyan looked at him and was about to ask him what was going on, when Zhou Huaijin returned from outside, looking as if he had traveled far.
...
He greeted his brother first, and then came to sit down by Gu Chaoyan’s side. He took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hand and gripped it tightly.
He had no idea of how the King would deal with her, so he was not sure what would happen to Chaoyan when she was summoned to the court.
That was why he was very worried about her.
When she was in the court, he deployed his hidden guards in every corner of the court in case something happened. Luckily, Chaoyan returned safe and sound.
That was why he was a bit delayed.
He still felt very worried despite her safety.
Although he showed nothing like this on his face, this small move of his had already made Gu Chaoyan understand what he was thinking.
She pulled away her hands.
