Gu Xiangzhu looked at Zhao Ci's furrowed brow. "You don't need to be so troubled. You did that girl from the Kan Family a huge favor. If you were a little more shameless and demanded she become your Mansion Official, she definitely wouldn't refuse.
With her Thunder Skill Cultivation, if she really tried, she might just be able to bring down Prince Lie's Mansion."
"Let's not."
Zhao Ci winced. "The Kan Family seems to be cursed by the heavens, always having only a single heir per generation. And in this generation, it's just her, a single woman. To persuade Mr. Kan, my Imperial Father even promised that, aside from my eldest legitimate son, they could pick one of my other children to carry the Kan surname.
If I drag her into the conflict between mansions, how is that any different from uprooting the Kan Family entirely?
She does owe me a favor, and I'm sure she wouldn't refuse if I asked.
But I helped her out.
And she once risked her life to save me.
