"Duan Cheng Xuan, are you serious?" Gu Danyan opened the curtain of the carriage in disbelief and looked at Duan Chengxuan, who was riding on his horse. His voice couldn't help but increase, causing the surrounding people to look over.

"Naturally." Duan Cheng Xuan nodded seriously.

He already knew that the Mirage had already infiltrated every corner of Navy Tide. Whether it was the Yun Family or the Mirage, both of them attached great importance to Gu Danyan. Just this point was enough for the strongest people around her to protect her.

It was useless to dissuade him, so Gu Daiyan could only accept his fate.

The black clothed person in front of her had saved her a few times, but unfortunately, no matter what the weather was, he never revealed the other half of his face. Unlike Cheng Shan and the others, the black clothed person was always silent.

"What's your name?" Gu Danyan rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"Ghost."

"Why did I get such a name?" It was too strange. Gu Dai Yan rubbed her head. For a moment, she didn't know what to say to the ghost, so she just shut her mouth. When she returned to Phoenix Cry Garden in the Prince's Mansion, the young girl had already prepared something for her.

In the future, he would let Yin Gou Yunfu stay in the medicine house with Qingdai to take care of him.

She quickly returned to Phoenix Cry Garden and slept soundly. Duan Chengxuan did not seem to have any objections to the way she ate and only Su Yu Wan said softly, "Since Sister Gu has already returned, isn't it time for Brother Xuan to prepare for Second Miss' matter?"

"Wan-Er wants me to pull the prime minister over here?" Duan Chengxuan's gaze softened instantly.

Su Yu Wan shifted her gaze away and said in a low voice: "After all, Brother Xuan doesn't have a good reputation in the imperial court and Prime Minister Gu only has these two daughters. If the prince can control them, then he won't help you."

"Wan'er is still thoughtful, but I still single-mindedly care about you. Gu Zixian, once you enter the estate, I won't let you suffer even the slightest bit." Duan Chengxuan only placed food into her bowl.

After getting her guarantee, Su Yu Wan just chuckled, but her plan had already been brewing deep inside her heart.

On the day that Gu Zixian entered the estate, the sky darkened and the clouds started to flow faster. Gu Daiyan was in the medicine house collecting the herbs and bringing some books from the courtyard to the prince's mansion.

He could only enter through the side door. Dressed in luxurious clothing, his smile never diminishing, he had six maids and twelve servants following behind him, which was quite impressive, but Duan Chengxuan did not personally welcome him. He only asked the house's housekeeper to place him in a slightly remote Fresh Breeze Garden, which was quite far away from Su Yu Wan and Gu Suiyan.

The only smart girl beside him was Alan, whom his mother had personally taught.

Upon entering, Lan Lan looked at the courtyard with dissatisfaction. It could not even compare to the mansion of the Prime Minister. With a change of his face, he asked the housekeeper, "Our young lady is the dignified second lady of the Prime Minister's Estate. How could she live in such a run-down courtyard?"

The housekeeper scoffed. Who didn't know that the two young misses of the Gu family were both jokes? They clearly knew that Prince Jing's heart belonged to them, yet they still licked their lips and married into their family. Gu Zixian hadn't even gotten into the side concubine's room, so how could he, the steward, care about her?

"The prince himself chose this courtyard." The butler was getting impatient.

"Although the prince chose this courtyard, is it not your duty to decorate this courtyard?" Alan was aggressive.

The steward knew that the Gu family members would not be easy to deal with, so he said directly: "Of course I'll listen to Your Highness's orders."

Gu Zixian and Lan were angry, but they could not do anything to the butler, and could only sulk.

When Gu Daiyan had finished arranging all the books in Phoenix Cry Garden, the housekeeper rushed over. He had sent quite a number of things here instead of his previous indifferent attitude, filling up the entire place.

"Princess, if you have any orders in the future, just come find me anytime." The butler smiled obsequiously.

Gu Daiyan did not understand, but Qing Dai, who was doing some sorting, said helplessly, "Miss, you don't know. During the two days you were in closed door training, the Prince had someone serve you well. Only then did the housekeeper's temper change."

"I think it's the prince who has changed his character." Gu Danyan rolled his eyes. Did this Duan Chengxuan really want to win her over?

However, she didn't want to help him do those things in the future, and even more so didn't want to attract his attention by speaking too much in front of Duan Cheng Xuan.

"If Your Highness really likes Miss, wouldn't that be what you'd want?" "Ever since that day, young miss has fallen in love with the prince at first sight. Now that we have the chance, we should seize it."

Gu Liuyan was even bigger. That so-called love at first sight was pure to the extreme.

That day, she couldn't forget Duan Chengxuan even after taking a glance under the stars and the moon. There was no reason for her to fall in love with him at first sight. However, in her opinion, if it hadn't been for that one glance, the original owner wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

"That's right, today Miss Zhi Wu entered the mansion, we can't miss the lunch later, do you want to dress up properly Miss?" Qing Dai paused and quickly walked over to Gu Daiyan's side. She looked at her carefully and was suddenly filled with helplessness, "Look at my memory, summer is approaching. Miss has yet to order a few sets of clothes."

"Speaking of which, it's only now that I remember. Without you in the medicine house, wouldn't they be going to the restaurant every day to eat?" Gu Danyan also turned to look at her. Their eyes met, and both of them started to get anxious. There were still a lot of things they hadn't done yet.

However, it was a pity that the sky was not looking good. It was already noon and the sky was already filled with thunder, but after a while, it began to rain heavily and the sky turned gloomy.

He had no choice but to find an oil-paper umbrella and jogged to the middle of the hall.

Su Yuwan and Gu Zixian had already taken their seats. Duan Chengxuan's shoulders were drenched, as if he had just arrived.

She put away the umbrella and handed it to a servant by her side. Then, she casually found a seat and sat down.

After all, it was Gu Zixian's first day in the estate, so the food was rather rich. She was tired, but when she saw Duan Chengxuan move his chopsticks, she didn't say anything and started eating.

Only Su Yuwan ate a few bites before putting down the bowl and chopsticks. She coughed a few times and said, "It's too oily."

"Yes." Duan Chengxuan personally poured a cup of tea for Su Yu Wan. The servants in the surroundings were used to this, so they only swapped out the dishes on the table. Although Gu Pingyan rarely ate on the table, they had heard of it before, so they put down their chopsticks and waited.

Gu Zixian wiped his mouth modestly. His eyes looked back and forth between Su Yuwan and Gu Daiyan, but in the end, they landed on Su Yuwan and he said in a low voice: "It's only natural that Sister Su has no appetite in this kind of rainy weather. How about I bring a chef to cook for Sister Su?"

After a slight pause, Su Yu Wan could only nod her head.

When Gu Liuyan saw Gu Zixian's expression, the corner of her mouth rose with interest. She stood up: "My prince, I still have some things to do, so I won't stay."
