Young Miss from the Feng Family - FJXM Chapter 16

At first glance, Gu Jiu Ge thought the man before her looked a bit too delicate.

“Your Highness, are you alright?” Before she could take a closer look, their exchange was interrupted.

“I’m fine!” Leng Tian Ao replied curtly.

“Let’s go!” He brushed off the incident, and they continued on their way, leaving the small encounter unnoticed by others.

Gu Jiu Ge wasn’t in a hurry to go to the Prime Minister’s Manor. Instead, she took the jade pendant and went to the place her master had mentioned.

Standing in front of the street, almost entirely occupied by her master’s businesses, Feng Jiu Ge couldn’t help but twitch her lips. This was probably the biggest commercial street in the capital!

She could understand the presence of apothecaries and medical clinics, but inns, restaurants, and martial arts schools? Who would have thought that her two masters, who appeared so indifferent to worldly affairs, were secretly among the wealthiest in the capital?

“Young Master, you’ve finally arrived!”

As soon as Gu Jiu Ge appeared, the managers of the various establishments swarmed around her. Before she could even speak, they were already arguing.

“I was the first to see the Young Master!”

“No, it was me!”

Their personalities were remarkably similar to that of the Divine Healer, leaving Gu Jiu Ge no choice but to helplessly rub her nose.

“I’m just here to borrow a few people. No need to get so excited.” Seeing that the situation was escalating, Gu Jiu Ge finally intervened.

“Young Master, just say the word! Whatever you need, we have it.”

In the end, Gu Jiu Ge selected one man and one woman from the martial arts school to accompany her.

At the gates of the Prime Minister’s Manor.

Feng Jiu Ge stood at the entrance, her eyes flickering as she stared at the sign bearing the words “Prime Minister’s Manor.”

She whispered softly, “Prime Minister’s Manor… Gu Jiu Ge, rest easy. I, Feng Jiu Ge, will avenge you.”

“Stop right there! Who are you to barge into the Prime Minister’s Manor?”

“How dare you!” The woman beside Feng Jiu Ge stepped forward.

“The legitimate heir of the Prime Minister’s Manor is returning home, and you dare to block the way!”

“Xiaowei.” Feng Jiu Ge said softly, raising her hand slightly.

“Today is my first day back, so I’ll forgive your mistake. But from now on, you’d better watch carefully!”

“I am Gu Jiu Ge, the legitimate son of the Prime Minister’s Manor and its future heir. Remember that. Next time something like this happens, it won’t be resolved so easily.” From today onward, her name will be Gu Jiu Ge.

“Young Master!”

“Quickly, report to Madam!” The guards, flustered, hurried off to inform Madam Gu as Feng Jiu Ge and Xiaowei walked into the manor.

“What?”

“Gu Jiu Ge is back!” That bastard didn’t die! What incredible luck!

“Mother, don’t be angry.”

“He’s just a bastard raised in the countryside. If we didn’t manage to kill him last time, now that he’s here in the manor, what harm could he possibly do?” If it didn’t work once, they’d just try again. She refused to believe that Gu Jiu Ge could be this lucky every time.

“Mother, let’s go meet Gu Jiu Ge!”

In the main hall.

Gu Jiu Ge sat at the head seat, facing all the household staff of the Gu family, who were kneeling before her.

“I’ve gathered you all here today simply to get to know each other.” she said casually, popping a grape into her mouth. “No need to be so nervous.”

“I’ve just arrived at the Prime Minister’s Manor, so we’ll need to look out for each other from now on. Isn’t that right, Steward?” She suddenly addressed the Gu family’s steward, causing him to flinch.

“I’m just a humble steward, I could never compare to you, Young Master. Whatever you need, just give the order.”

“No one in the entire manor would dare disobey.”

As the steward spoke, cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He had seen much in his life, and he could tell at a glance that this “young master” who had been raised in the countryside was far from simple.
