Ms. Doctor Divine

Gu Zhenkang looked into the room and asked.

He seemed to care about Third Concubine, but he really did not care. He was just acting because of Xiuying's usefulness.

Third Concubine, when asked about her daughter, relaxed.

"She is in the room. She hasn't eaten much lunch, and is starving now. So I am fetching some food for her from the kitchen," Third Concubine said.

She was really living very badly. She guessed that Mrs. Gu must have made sure it happened.

That was why the kitchen only served them cold food, and cold food just did not work on this kind of day.

There was really no other way, but to spend some money and buy some hot food from the kitchen. She would go there in person, but she was really worried about these servants, their money was running out, so they had to save it, in case the servants betrayed her, and she would have a lot of losses.

However, Third Concubine did not dare to make any complaints right now.

No one knew what happened for Old Master and the Crown Prince to suddenly treat her well.

She was very cautious about making any mistakes. And she was worried about revenge from Ms. Gu who always caused them a lot of trouble.

Third Concubine showed Gu Zhenkang in.

Gu Zhenkang let Zhou Huailing go in first, while the servants all waited outside. The room was too small to hold many people unlike other rooms in the mansion.

Zhou Huailing frowned as he walked in, looking displeased. "Why is it so cold here? Are there no braziers?"

He had been at the imperial tombs very early in the morning. It did not snow at the imperial tombs, but he headed directly to Gu Mansion after he left the tombs without a break. He had decided to take a break here to do some real business, but he felt even worse after he stepped in. Zhou Huailing could not stand it any more and shouted out angrily.

Gu Zhenkang had no idea what was going on. Each room would have at least one brazier.

He turned to glare at Mrs. Gu. She must have done it.

He looked at Chen Fu and said, "What are you staring at? Go and prepare a brazier and hot tea. Third Concubine is still a master, how can she be treated like this?"

He did not dare to say that it was the Crown Prince's intention, but defended Third Concubine from his point of view anyway.

Third Concubine was shocked.

She had not expected that so many things would happen within such a short period of time.

Instead of staying, she added. "I will go and fetch Xiuying. She is still lying in bed since it is too cold here. Maybe she has been infected with a cold."

Gu Zhenkang nodded and Third Concubine hurried away.

Gu Xiuying was still looking really annoyed as she walked in. "Did you get the food?"

She just could not stand days like this - coldness and hunger. It was her mother who was so incapable that they had to suffer this much. So she did not show a good expression towards her.

"Xiuying, get up and get changed. The Crown Prince is here, we may have a different future now!"

Gu Xiuying gasped.
