Chapter 110 - A Strange Tone
Chapter 110: A Strange Tone
Princess Gu had set up a wonderful marital arrangement for Chaoyan. And Lord Huai was helping Chaoyan back at the court too.
With all of these taken into consideration, she should go and bring the girl back, but…
Madame Gu thought for a while and concluded that the girl should be taught a lesson, so she could understand that a skillful doctor like her would need Gu Mansion’s help.
As the idea struck her mind Madame Gu sighed and shook her head. “I would like to save your Miss, but it is not a difficult thing. She is the Miss of the Gu Family, so when Madame Duke Changning is no longer angry, the whole thing will end of its own accord. Don’t worry, just get up now.”
Hearing this Qing got so sad that tears gushed out of her eyes.
She was totally devastated. The Gu Family did not care about Miss’ life and death!
Then she thought of the Lin Family and rushed out like a maniac.
Seeing the scene, Gu Zhenkang told the guards. “Stop her!”
Madame Gu waved her hands. “It is okay, just let her leave. She is going to the Lin Family, but they can do nothing as a business family.” Madame Gu said disdainfully.
Gu Zhenkang pursed his lips, saying nothing more.
With eyes upon her father, Gu Ruxue cried. Gu Zhenkang felt his heart aching. “Ruxue, what is it? How did the ugly girl set you up?”
Gu Ruxue looked wronged!
Mrs. Gu stepped forward. “You can tell what happened! Something was wrong with Ruxue’s dress as she was performing in the court yesterday! But the ugly girl put on a great show! Of course she set her up!”
“Shut up!” Madame Gu scolded Mrs. Gu angrily.
She had liked this daughter-in-law of hers before, but during the past few days, she found this woman becoming increasingly stupid.
“Ruxue was set up, but no evidence showed that it was Chaoyan’s work! Don’t blame her as you wish!” Madame Gu bellowed.
Gu Zhenkang nodded. “You are right, we have to investigate the matter. The ugly girl is too stupid to cause such mischief!”
Madame Gu was not glad hearing these words, but glared at Gu Zhenkang.
She did not like it when he belittled his daughter. He could do whatever he wanted in the past, but now Chaoyan was marrying the son of the officer of the Ministry of Revenue, and she should not be belittled all the time.
However, she did not want to scold her own son, so she said, “Just don’t keep mentioning this kind of thing any more alright, drop it now.”
Having said this, she looked at Cai Ming. “Get some money and see what is going on in the Government Office!”
“Mom, why are you still caring for the ugly girl?” Gu Zhenkang was not glad.
“Your sister set up a marriage for her with the second son of the officer of the Ministry of Revenue. We have to mind her business every now and then, and you should stop being so unfriendly towards her.” Madame Gu stressed.
Startled, Gu Zhenkang thought it through and smiled. “Sounds great.”
Madame Gu nodded in satisfaction, smiling.

At the Lin Mansion.
Qing rushed in despite any difficulties. “Old Master, please save my Miss.” Qing kowtowed without hesitation.
“What happened to Chaoyan?” The Old Master looked surprised.
Mrs. Lin pursed her lips. She knew that trouble would come when she was involved. Was she trying to seduce Jiashu with some trick?
“She doesn’t like Jiashui right? But what is she doing now asking us for help? Since she can marry someone better, let that man help her, not us.” Mrs. Lin said with a strange tone.
