Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chen Yan simply couldn't listen to Gu Chan's explanation.

Taking advantage of her injury, she immediately started to act like a spoiled brat, slumped down on the chair, and said, "I can't take it anymore. I'm dizzy and my whole body hurts! I can't leave, so I have to stay here. Anyway, it was your wife who hurt me, so you have to take responsibility."

"Oh my! You're still trying to do this, right? You start to cheat when you can't win. Do you have any shame?" Zuo Xin stood aside, arms folded across his chest, and shouted angrily.

"Woooooooo..."

Chen Yan pretended to be extremely wronged, covering her face with her hands and crying.

Gu Chan helplessly patted her forehead and said, "After all this time, it seems that you two have discussed it! This is going to be troublesome."

"Husband, just throw them out." Zuo Xin shouted coldly.

Gu Chan stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "If you really throw her out now, wouldn't King Chen have even more reason to cause trouble for us?"

"What should we do? Just let her throw a tantrum here? I can't stand this kind of humiliation." Zuo Xin said angrily.

"First, treat him to good food and drinks! Don't be rude. After all, it was you who led the others to beat him up! Take care of him and compensate him if he deserves. Don't leave anything out, or you will be criticized." Gu Chan ordered.

Zuo Xin glared at Chen Yan fiercely, and then he could only suppress his anger and agree.

Then she ordered the maids and servants in Prince Chan's mansion to serve Chen Yan and others with delicious food and drinks.

Chen Yan, accompanied by a dozen guards, stayed in Prince Chan's mansion. For a while, Gu Chan didn't know whether to chase her away or not. She was extremely helpless!

In the afternoon dusk.

Just when Gu Chan was still at home, feeling troubled by the fact that Chen Yan refused to leave, a handsome man in his twenties, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in a white robe and with an elegant appearance, suddenly rushed over.

When Zuo Xin led him to the study in the backyard to meet her, she asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Madam, who is this young man?"

"Husband, he can be considered your relative!" Zuo Xin said with a smile.

"Ah? How come I had such a relative in Kyoto? I didn't know it!" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

She came from a poor mountain village, how could she have any relatives in Kyoto? So Zuo Xin's words were enough to confuse her.

The handsome man in white clasped his fists and saluted, "Lord Chan, is your master Old Bai?"

"That's right." Gu Chan nodded.

"That's right, my name is Bai Jinghong, and I'm his eldest grandson." The handsome guy named Bai Jinghong explained with a smile.

Gu Chan sighed with relief and said, "Oh! So that's how it is! So, you are still Bai Jingtian's brother?"

"Yes, I am his eldest brother. We are three siblings and he is the second oldest." Bai Jinghong said politely.

Gu Chan immediately became enthusiastic and waved her hand to invite Bai Jinghong to take a seat.

Zuo Xin said softly, "Husband, I'll have the maid serve you tea, and you can chat among yourselves. I have to go to the lobby in the front yard and keep an eye on Chen Yan to prevent her from causing trouble for me again."

"Okay! Anyway, remember, don't do it again. She has already discussed it with King Chen and is here to provoke you on purpose. Now as long as she stays in our house, King Chen will have a reason to come and cause trouble at any time." Gu Chan reminded.

Zuo Xin nodded quietly, left the study, and went to the front lobby to stare at Chen Yan.

After she left, the maid quickly brought over a pot of fragrant tea, and Gu Chan and Bai Jinghong began to chat while drinking tea.

After chatting for a while, Gu Chan asked, "By the way, since Bai Jingtian and I parted ways in Jiangnan City last time, I haven't heard from him until today. I wonder how he is doing in Wuheng County on the border now?"

"It's all thanks to Prince Chan who gave him a chance to escort the relief silver to the border. Otherwise, he would not be able to become the general of the Border Tiger Camp now." Bai Jinghong said.

"What? Has the border tiger camp been rebuilt?" Gu Chan asked in surprise.

Ever since the Diyue Kingdom invaded the border, Long Zhen was killed, and the Tiger Camp was incorporated into the various units of the Central Plains Camp, the Tiger Camp on the border has been completely disbanded.

She really didn't expect that the Tiger Camp would be rebuilt one day.

Bai Jinghong explained, "During the time when the Ninth Prince was in charge of the border, he made many reforms and made the entire border defense as solid as a rock. Rebuilding the Tiger Camp was the top priority. When my brother came over, he was favored by him, so he appointed him as the general of the Tiger Camp on the border."

"That's great! I know how powerful Bai Jingtian is. If he becomes the general of the Border Tiger Camp, the entire northwest of Tiancang Kingdom will be stable, and the late General Long Zhen will have a successor." Gu Chan sighed.

Bai Jingtian is absolutely qualified to be a general in terms of character, strength, and intelligence. Now she can feel temporarily relieved about Wuheng County on the border.

Without dwelling on this issue, Gu Chan asked, "By the way, why did you come to see me today?"

"I'm here for two things. The first is to ask you about grandpa's situation. The second is to invite you to the Bai Mansion for a chat. My parents especially want to invite you to a banquet and thank you in person." Bai Jinghong said seriously.

"I haven't been back to Zhongyuan City for a long time, so I don't know much about my master's situation. I have to ask my two wives in the palace." Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

"Then I'd like to trouble Prince Chan to ask for me. Grandpa hasn't been home for many years, and the Bai family misses him very much!" Bai Jinghong said cunningly.

There is no doubt that he must have known that Gu Chan had not returned to Zhongyuan City for a long time, so he deliberately said this. His purpose was naturally to let her go to the palace to find Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue.

As for why he did this, it can be explained clearly by the friendly attitude Zuo Xin showed towards him when she brought him to see Gu Chan.

It’s because he is the expert that Zuo Xin asked his father Zuo Wangfeng to invite.

Of course, Zuo Wangfeng did not invite him at the beginning, but his father. However, his father was old and it was not convenient for him to take action, so he sent his extremely smart son to trick Gu Chan.

Gu Chan naturally didn't know about these circumstances, and thought that the Bai family really wanted to know about Old Bai's condition, so she agreed without hesitation and said, "Okay, then I'll find a time to go to the palace to ask my two wives, and then I'll go to the Bai Mansion and attend the banquet, and I'll tell you all about it."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Prince Chan. I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave first." Bai Jinghong stood up and bowed.

After saying this, he walked away without revealing any flaws.

Gu Chan sat there, watching his back as he left, a faint smile on her face. It was their first meeting, and she really had a good impression of the eldest son of the Bai family.
