Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 43: Marriage Arrangement

She was old and still held the control of the Gu Family instead of leaving it to Mrs. Gu. So she was a forceful person who would not tolerate her maid turning to others for help.

She was glad that Madam Gu made this decision too.

That was how she was going to establish her status in the Mansion. After all, there were quite a few maids and servants who were looking down on her.

Cai Zhu was sentenced to death today, so none of the maids and servants would dare to irritate her any more.

“Chaoyan, you are getting more and more like a Miss. I feel assured.” Madam Gu pointed at a seat for Gu Chaoyan randomly. “Sit down.”

“I am calling you here to ask you why you turned down the concubine position of Duke Changning’s Mansion, even if it meant offending them?”

Gu Chaoyan had just sat down and did not panic at what Madam Gu was asking. She more or less understood what Madam Gu was going to ask on her way there.

Madam Gu was a very smart lady. She put the blame of offence on her so she could feel guilty. However, Gu Chaoyan was not like before, and she was not going to feel guilty because of what Madam Gu said. When she was turning down the offer, Madame Gu did not stop her either, meaning that Madam Gu did not think it was a proper deal either.

Gu Ruxue was the Princess Consort, and what was the use to add one more granddaughter for that Mansion. Besides, this granddaughter of hers was now related to the Wang Family.

Knowing what Madam Gu intended to get from her, Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly following Madam Gu’s ideas. “Grandma, i am doing this for the Gu Mansion’s sake.”

“....”

“Second Sister is already the Princess Consort, so it doesn’t matter if I am married to the Duke’s Mansion either.”

“....”

“Also, Madame Wang decides to establish a marriage for me too, seeing that my engagement was cancelled.”

“....”

“So if Madame Wang is out for this business, I think that the match would be very good for the Gu Mansion, so why not listen to her instead.”

After the speech, Madame Gu smiled brightly. “You can do something more for the Gu Mansion. You can mention Xiuying for them too. Xiuying might not be as pretty as Ruxue, yet she is also an intelligent and lovely girl.”

“Yes.” Gu Chaoyan answered obediently.

That made Madam Gu satisfied and gratified.

Soon, the Gu Mansion would find their way to become a place of prestige.

Zhenkang the Old Master had been working at the Temple for years, but it was a terrible working place with very little payment. Now he was connected with Duke Changning’s Mansion and the Wang Family, he would soon get promoted.

She had no other expectation for her remaining life any more. She just expected that her son would get promoted so she could get a title of Imperial Madam before she passed away.

Madame Gu was satisfied, so was Gu Chaoyan.

Cai Zhu died, but was soon forgotten by Madame Gu.

So she smiled friendly. “Chaoyan, just go back to your place now. Eat dinner at your Qiong Pavilion tonight, but come to join us for breakfast here in the front yard tomorrow. We can have the meal together.”

“Okay.”

Chaoyan bowed and left.

Seeing her Miss coming out, Qing sized her up first and saw that Miss was not injured. She let out a sigh of relief and went back to Qiong Pavilion behind her back.

As they came out of the front yard, Qing whispered as she saw that no one was around. “Miss, Cai Zhu is dead. I worry that we are falling into deep trouble!”
