Ms. Doctor Divine

1441 Gu Zhenkang’s Plan 2

Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Zhenkang.

The Gu Family had not changed at all.

The Gu Family were considered clever, yet they achieved nothing in the court, since they were short-sighted. However, they could always aim at their own interests and make plans.

Gu Zhenkang was right when it came to filial piety in the Saint Divine Land.

That was a very moving speech, but…

Gu Chaoyan, unfortunately, never cared about this.

It was important that people should pay respect and filial piety, but whether or not it was worth her efforts was another question.

The Gu Family, for example, were not worth the while.

They kept making plans to count their benefits.

And if she accepted his offer, she might end up like her mother.

The Gu Family had been literati for generations, but no one with any ability had ever been born from there. Before Gu Zhenkang married Ms. Lin, the Gu Family were so poor that they had to use Ms. Lin’s dowries to build a mansion.

And yet those who lived at the Gu Family had never thanked Ms. Lin for her generosity. They even thought that Ms. Lin was a businesswoman who did not deserve the Gu Family. They kept looking down at her and demeaning her.

Even to this point, Gu Chaoyan was trying to leave the Gu Family alone rather than pick on them.

She had not wanted to be involved with them, but what Gu Zhenkang did today really annoyed her.

In that case… Gu Chaoyan decided to reclaim everything Ms. Lin had given to the Gu Family. So she hesitated to turn him down at the moment.

She was going to make the Gu Family see what their life would be without Ms. Lin’s help at the beginning.

She smiled, and then she threw a look at Gu Zhenkang.

Gu Zhenkang let out a sigh of relief. He understood that the smile meant that Gu Chaoyan had approved of what he said.

He knew it!

Gu Chaoyan was born to Ms. Lin, who was from a business family and who only cared about interests. Even though Gu Chaoyan disliked the Gu Family, when it came to interests, she was choosing what she could benefit the most out of.

Gu Zhenkang was just about to make his arrangements when the King said with a serious voice, “Now the door to enchantment is opened, and Lady Chaoyan is the Phoenix Girl. She has gotten the jade sword and as for what we should do next, I need to have a discussion with the Phoenix Girl and Destiny Monk together.”

“…”

“I suggest you should leave the tombs before the snow becomes heavier.”

“…”

“The Phoenix Girl should stay in the court these days.”

Then he looked at Zhou Huailing, suggesting that he should work hard these days to move the Phoenix Girl.

The King made these arrangements because he had his own plan.

Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl, which could not be changed. So what they needed to do was to make the Phoenix Girl take their side by separating her and Lord Huai. When they could not meet, Ling could try to tell the Phoenix Girl about the profits they could get if they joined forces, so that the Phoenix Girl would break off her engagement with Lord Huai. Then Ling could marry her without barriers.

When the plan was made, he looked at Zhou Huaijin and said coldly, “Eighth Son, you shall leave the tombs too.”
