The King ordered the marital connection between the Min Family and Gu Yunhe. The two families did hang out with each other a few times, but as far as she remembered, after the door to enchantment was opened, and Ruxue did not turn out to be the Phoenix Girl, the Min Family had gone quiet.
Now they were suddenly at the door, saying that they wanted to talk about the martial connection between the two families and even talk about the old times…
She knew pretty well what the Min Family needed.
The Min Family was a noble family which was hundreds of years old, and they had been out of the court for years. When Gu Chaoyan treated Madame Min before, she had a good impression of the Min Family, thinking that the Min Family would stay away from the court just as they had claimed to others, despite the chaotic situation the Saint Divine Land was experiencing now.
However, after a few more times of meeting, Gu Chaoyan had seen through the Min Family.
The noble family was more pretentious than any other mansion out there.

They were here to suck up to her because she was the Phoenix Girl!
And she was going to meet them today.
Otherwise the Gu Family was going to get more profits from talking to the Min Family by using her identity.
Gu Chaoyan went to the hall with Sword One.
In the hall of the Gu Mansion.
Madame Min, Old Master, First Ms. Min, and Young Master were all seated with a worried look, especially Madame Min and First Ms. Min, who kept looking out to see if Gu Chaoyan was on the way.
Gu Zhenkang forced a smile and tried to have a casual chit chat with the Old Master of the Min Family in a very flattering way, but the Old Master was not happy at all. What they needed was the Phoenix Girl, not Gu Zhenkang. So the Old Master of the Min Family just drank his tea, looking quite distracted.

Whilst the Old Master of the Min Family was drinking the tea… Madame Min lost her patience to do so. She was waiting impatiently.
Honestly… she felt quite regretful. ɴovel(F)ɪre
They tried to suck up to the Crown Prince a while ago, and the King accepted the flattery. She believed that the Min Family already found its roots in the capital. And the King set up the martial arrangement for the families, and they were stabilized further in the capital.
That was why she asked Mrs. Min not to get involved with what was going on with the Min Family, but entrusted First Ms. Min to be in charge instead.
However, years passed… Mrs. Min was still a very stubborn woman.
She left the capital because of a few matters.
She and Gu Chaoyan were good friends, and it seemed that Gu Chaoyan liked her. If she was here today, things would be much easier. And the whole mansion would not have to be here. Zhuxun's words spoke louder than anyone else's from the mansion.

Honestly… it was her fault.
She had not thought about this before.
She ruined the whole thing just because First Mrs. Min wasn't happy.
And she had not heard from Zhuxun, so she wondered how they could get in touch with each other.
Madame Min was playing with the Buddha beads in her hands, thinking about the messy situation she had to face now.
Soon some voices arose from the hall.
She suddenly felt slightly more at ease.
Gu Chaoyan was here.
She was still willing to meet the Min Family.
