Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 235: Cloudy Day

That was something Gu Chaoyan could not understand.

Gu Ruxue might be a very pretty girl, but Lord Ling could get as many equally pretty girls as he wanted. And Gu Ruxue was not smart enough to be his assistant in his career either.

“Maybe Lord Ling is head-tamed?” Gu Chaoyan said casually, “But Gu Ruxue is not skilled in doing this kind of witchcraft either…”

Zhou Huaijin looked helpless, but he smiled in a sweet way.

There was no such witchcraft existing in this world, and no one from the Gu Family was able to get close to Lord Ling either.

They thought that there must be something they were not aware of in the process.

“Anyway, stop thinking about that. I will get my staff from Shadow Door to look into this matter. You have had a long day today, go and take a break now. You are heading home when you get up.” Zhou Huaijin said.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. She did feel very tired. It was indeed a long day and many things had happened.

***

The following day, no one mentioned what happened the day before the moment she woke up. The servants from Biquan Palace behaved normally as before.

Gu Chaoyan would have not remembered that something so enormous happened the day before, if she had not seen Madame Gu getting carried away. No one of the whole Gu Family was uttering a word.

Both Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue stayed silent. They were very quiet throughout the entire path leading outside the court.

Then they got onto the wagon of the Gu Mansion and headed home.

The atmosphere was so quiet and dark as if a rainstorm were on the way.

Then they got off the wagon, walked into the Gu Mansion and headed towards the front yard.

Gu Zhenkang, who was seated on the main seat in the front yard, was showing a face of distress. He looked as if the whole sky had fallen down. He did not shout at Gu Chaoyan at the sight of her, but glared at the gang that walked in.

As for what happened in the court… He already found out about it in the morning court session. And he had been seated on this spot for more than four hours.

The servants helped Madame Gu down whilst Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue were standing motionlessly in the hall.

The seat Gu Zhenkang was sitting on used to belong to Madame Gu, but Gu Zhenkang showed no intention of sparing it for her. He didn’t even ask Madame Gu about how she was doing.

After a long moment of silence Gu Zhenkang smashed the teacup and bellowed furiously as a vein popped out of his head. “What on earth happened!”

“…”

Even Mrs. Gu got startled by the way he was bellowing. Then she pointed at Gu Chaoyan instantly and said, “It is all this b***h’s fault!”

“…”

“She should have been in that room, but Princess Gu ended up being there! It must have been her plan to set Princess Gu up!”

“…”

“Now Princess is dead, and Madame Gu is sick, it is all her fault!” Mrs. Gu bellowed furiously, totally unaware of what she had been like when interrogated by Madame Gu earlier. Now she was trying to get herself out of the trouble by making Gu Zhenkang believe what she said.

Gu Zhenkang threw a glare at Gu Chaoyan directly. Fury covered his face.

He knew it! He knew that it was all this ugly girl’s fault!

The Gu Family were a family of literatis… If Madame Gu had not forced him to marry a businesswoman, none of this would have happened! Business families were always full of bad luck! Even their bloodline was totally stained!

Sure enough, the daughter born to a businesswoman would always cause trouble for the Gu Family. How would Ruxue marry Lord Ling in the future and how would he get promoted and make a fortune?

Gu Zhenkang threw a look at Madame Gu who was unable to move, looking really annoyed. It was her fault too! If she had not insisted on the marriage, he would not have ended up being like this.

“Someone, take away this girl and beat her!”
