Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Zuo Yun couldn't help but look up to Gu Chan in his heart.

Originally, he thought that Gu Chan was the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals, but judging from the current situation, he was indeed wrong. Gu Chan was a much better person than he had imagined.

Reaching out and patting Gu Chan's shoulder, he sighed and said, "Since you can think this way, it proves that you are at least a good person. I can also feel at ease when my sister marries you in the future."

"But I don't feel at ease!" Gu Chan said helplessly.

"What should we do now? The Crown Prince has already granted you a marriage, so you don't want to marry him? Go to the palace and ask him to cancel the marriage?" Zuo Yun said.

Gu Chan was silent and had no words to say.

Zuo Yun smiled and said, "How about this! Don't think too much for now. Marry my sister first and rescue your grandfather and the other four. This will be my Zuo family's way of repaying you a favor."

"Return my favor?" Gu Chan asked doubtfully.

She really couldn't remember when the Zuo family owed her a favor.

Zuo Yun explained, "Since returning from Jiangnan, I have talked to my father about this. If you had not shown mercy, I am afraid that my father and I, as well as the 100,000 soldiers, would not be able to return to Kyoto safely."

"Oh! So this is what you are talking about! I didn't really take it seriously." Gu Chan said indifferently.

"Well, go back and discuss this with your two wives!" Zuo Yun reminded.

After saying this, he said nothing more and immediately turned around and went back into the general's mansion.

Gu Chan also temporarily suppressed the confusion in her heart and returned to Prince Chan's Mansion.

When Gu Chan returned to Prince Chan's Mansion, it was already dusk in the afternoon.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she stepped into the lobby of the front yard, she found that Su Yao and Yan Zhen were sitting in the lobby.

At this moment, they were having a very happy chat with Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue.

Seeing Gu Chan coming back, the four of them quieted down and all looked up at her.

Gu Chan walked to the first seat and sat down. She looked at Yan Zhen with a funny face and said, "How was it? Did you go back and have a good talk with your father that day?"

"We talked. My father said that you beat him before. Although I am angry with you, this will not prevent me from being good friends with you, Your Highness." Yan Zhen said with a smile.

"As long as your father doesn't hold a grudge against me, that's all that's fine." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

Yan Zhen waved his hands hurriedly, looking extremely embarrassed.

If he had known earlier that Gu Chan had beaten his father before, he would not have been so eager to please Gu Chan in Longfeng Tower that day, so you can imagine how embarrassed he is now.

Su Yao sat aside and said sarcastically, "For a person like your father, let alone Prince Chan beating him up, if he dares to provoke me, I will also beat him up."

"Miss Su! I didn't provoke you, why do you always pick on me?" Yan Zhen said bitterly.

Su Yaoli didn't want to pay any attention to him. He just looked at Gu Chan and said softly, "Prince Chan, I came to your house today to invite you to my house for a chat. My father said he wanted to meet you, and I hope you will do me the honor of coming!"

"Miss Su, you are too polite. Since Prince Cheng has invited me, how dare I not go? But I have some private matters to discuss with the two ladies. Please wait here for a moment." Gu Chan said politely.

"No problem, I'll wait for you." Su Yao nodded.

Gu Chan immediately asked the two ladies to leave and went to the study in the backyard.

After the three of them left, Su Yao glared at Yan Zhen and said, "Go away! You have nothing to do now. I am so unlucky today that I have to run into you."

"I also have something to discuss with Prince Chan. I never thought you would come. If I had known you would come, I would not have come." Yan Zhen said unhappily.

Su Yao sneered disdainfully and simply stood up and walked around in the yard outside. She didn't want to stay in the lobby with Yan Zhen at all and disliked him extremely.

Yan Zhen was too lazy to argue with her anymore, so he sat alone in the chair, crossed his legs, and sipped his tea.

In the backyard study.

Gu Chan and the other two sat opposite each other. Ouyang Wan'er asked, "Husband, what do you want to discuss with us?"

"Oh! It's still about Zuo Xin." Gu Chan sighed.

"Yesterday morning, the mother and daughter came to visit us. They were very polite to us and gave us a lot of gifts. If she marries Prince Chan in the future, we will definitely get along well." Ouyang Wan'er said with a faint smile.

Zi Yue also nodded repeatedly.

Apparently, Zuo Xin and Ji's visit to Prince Chan's Mansion yesterday left a good impression on the two of them, otherwise they would not be speaking well of Zuo Xin now.

Gu Chan said bitterly, "That's true, but I wanted to marry her. I originally planned to use her so that you two and grandpa and grandma could get away. But now I find that she has fallen in love with me, and I am afraid of hurting her. I am so conflicted!"

"What's there to be entangled about? Once she marries you, you will find a reason to divorce both of us. In the future, she will be Princess Chan, and this will be the best compensation for her."

"That's right! In my opinion, my husband, you don't have to worry about it. For her, isn't this also a kind of exchange of interests?"

Ouyang Wan'er and Ziyue tried to persuade them.

When Gu Chan heard this, the pain in her heart eased a little.

On second thought, she felt that what they said was right. At worst, she could just compensate Zuo Xin in the future and treat her better. In this way, even if something unexpected happened in the future, she would not feel sorry for Zuo Xin.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan said solemnly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Then you and grandpa and grandma should help me prepare. We will welcome Zuo Xin into the family in three days. If I can divorce you and let you escape from Kyoto first, that would be the best. But if I can't, I'll have to find another way."

"Why can't I take a break?" Ouyang Wan'er asked.

"The coronation ceremony originally scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed to half a month later. I always feel something is wrong, and I am afraid that something unexpected will happen, so I have to hurry up and marry Zuo Xin, and then send you out of Kyoto as quickly as possible." Gu Chan said in a deep voice.

Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue looked at each other, both of them had solemn expressions on their faces.

It was not until then that they understood that, although Gu Chan's life as a prince seemed very easy on the surface, it was actually full of crises in secret. If she took any wrong step, she would probably fall into an irretrievable situation!

Gu Chan reached out and grabbed their hands and said, "Alright, go get ready! Prince Cheng invited me over for a chat, so I have to go. When I come back in the evening, we can have a good reunion."

"Yes, husband." The two responded obediently.

Then the three of them said no more, and Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue went to prepare to marry Zuo Xin.

Gu Chan returned to the front yard and went to Prince Cheng's Mansion with Su Yao.

Yan Zhen shamelessly followed Gu Chan onto the Su family's carriage and couldn't be driven away, which made Su Yao very angry.
