Chapter 474 - Bragging
Chapter 474: Bragging
Gu Chaoyan could tell that Li Yuanxiang was feeling guilty and worried…
She said with a smile, “The assistant is Princess Xunyang, and I had intended to get you as the witness. But if you are not in a good position for that yourself… then I can turn to someone else. There is still time, don’t worry.”
Princess Xunyang? That was great, thought Li Yuanxiang. Chaoyan was able to get someone else even without her being present.
“Continue with your medicine, that’s what I am here for today.” Gu Chaoyan said.
Li Yuanxiang answered, then Gu Chaoyan left with Sword One.
After Gu Chaoyan left, Li Yuanxiang felt quite distressed. She had spent the whole time indoors just to study some medicine. She wasn’t a greedy person, but as long as she was able to make as good medicine as Chaoyan did, that would be great. She didn’t have the intention of exceeding anyone.
Could she really not make it? Chaoyan just told her that she could not, but she still wanted to have a try – maybe that could work!
Determined, Li Yuanxiang devoted herself to making the medicine again.
Gu Chaoyan headed towards the Gu Mansion directly after Saint College.

Time passed by, Gu Chaoyan had been spending most of her time at the Qiong Pavilion. She felt that the country was indeed cold. She had not been so worried about coldness, but now, she was feeling extra cold.
So Gu Chaoyan became laid-back, kept drinking her tea and reading her books just to kill the time.
If not for Chen Fu who reminded her of Gu Ruxue’s Adulthood Ceremony, she would never have noticed it.
“I got it, I will be there tomorrow.” Gu Chaoyan answered.
Chen Fu sighed out of relief and was about to turn around to pass on the message, but Gu Chaoyan suddenly thought of something and asked. “Are you doing well these days, Housekeeper Chen?”
Chen Fu froze. He was very surprised, but he felt that the whole thing sounded reasonable too.
With some tears in his eyes, he said, “I am doing well. Lady Chaoyan, your medicine works perfectly. You and Madame are both very kind.”
“My mother?” Gu Chaoyan was astonished that he would mention her mother Mrs. Lin.
Chen Fu wiped his tears, lowered his head and said, “I have to go.”
Then he left in a hurry as if fearing that Gu Chaoyan would have stopped him.
Gu Chaoyan did not stop him either.
The reason why he cared about her was because she was a doctor and that was asked out of instinct. She had not expected to hear anything about Ms. Lin. It seemed that she used to help Chen Fu as well. So Chen Fu sometimes helped her.
That made sense, but Gu Chaoyan felt that something else was going on, which Gu Chaoyan could not understand at that moment. However, she was sure that she could figure it out when the time was right.
“Elder Miss, are you really attending Gu Ruxue’s Adulthood Ceremony tomorrow?” Sword One asked angrily.
“Yeah.” Gu Chaoyan answered briefly.
She did not have the intention of going there, but Mrs. Gu wanted her to be there. If she turned her down, Mrs. Gu would keep bothering her all the time! So she could just go there, anyway.
That was what Gu Chaoyan was thinking.
Sword One was not aware of this matter, so she went into the room angrily and said, “Elder Miss, I will get you a very pretty dress for tomorrow.”
Gu Chaoyan laughed involuntarily. Sword One was indeed lovely.
Why was a beautiful dress so important for the Adulthood Ceremony?
She shook her head. “It is fine, that plain-color one suits me best.”
Sword One looked helpless. She mumbled into Gu Chaoyan’s ears. “Elder Miss, no way! Mrs. Gu asked you to be there to show off. You have to defend yourself!”
