Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 239: Anxious

After all, if one daughter of the Gu Mansion was able to marry Lord Ling, even as a concubine, then the whole thing would get really fantastic.

Honestly, Lord Ling’s Princess Consort was the daughter of a general, one of his concubines, the second daughter of the prime minister… So who would ever expect that the third position would have been taken by the miss of the Gu Family?

When Madame Huo learned of the news, she was already really shocked. And she was even more shocked when she saw the presents given by Lord Ling for the proposal – they were enormous, almost as much as those given to the second daughter of the prime minister, or probably even more glamorous. Honestly, Lord Ling must have been paying a great deal of attention to this.

Gu Zhenkang was still not in a very high position right now, but after the marriage was completed, the Huo Family would definitely have to turn to the Gu Family for help and favor!

Honestly… Madame Huo felt a bit jealous.

The ladies of the Huo Family were actually quite pretty too, and her son was in a relatively high position too. So why didn’t they get such a marital arrangement.

Yes, she was jealous, but she had to do her job well.

Madame Huo asked Lord Ling’s men to put everything down and then gave Gu Zhenkang the list personally. “Officer Gu, here is the list for the marital presents. Lord Ling pays a great deal of attention to Miss Ruxue. Generally speaking, concubines do not have so many luxurious presents for a proposal, so Miss Ruxue is truly honored!”

Gu Zhenkang took over the list and felt that his vision was blurred at the sight of the list. Then he gasped. He knew that he had made the right decision. Ruxue was the prettiest among all of his daughters. She was the smartest and most adorable, and she would always achieve something great. Now all that proved to be right. Even Lord Ling considered Ruxue to be important.

In the future the Gu Mansion would definitely flourish.

He got so excited that his hands were shivering. He kept nodding. “Alright, alright, please pass my gratitude to Lord Ling!”

At this time, Mrs. Gu also got the news from Chen Fu and hurried to the front yard.

She had already seen full boxes piled up even when she was outside. As she came in and saw Madame Huo there with the matchmaker, she showed a very bright smile. “Those are all the presents for our Ruxue?”

“Of course.” Madame Huo said with a smile, thinking inwardly that Mrs. Gu was so rude to mention all of these now, but she kept silent at the moment. After all, the Gu Mansion was totally different from this moment on. So she did not have to offend anyone for this minor matter.

Mrs. Gu looked very excited.

During the past few days, she had become so distressed, because the Old Master had been complaining about her and Mrs. Jinzhang had been mocking her. She had not had a peaceful day since the incident happened, but now… Her Ruxue had such great achievements. No one would dare to say a thing when Lord Ling showed his care for her.

Mrs. Gu started to chat with Madame Huo passionately. All Madame Huo could do was to listen patiently.

The talk lasted for a very long time and much time had passed.

Gu Ruxue had been watching from the screen all this while, because the bride-to-be was not supposed to be present when the proposal was made. So most of the time, they were watching from behind.

However, Mrs. Gu spoke for way too long and Gu Ruxue lost her patience. She stepped out and said, “Mom, why are you still keeping Madame Huo? Madame Huo needs to make a report back to Lord Ling.”

She was afraid that Lord Ling would regret his decision, if she was kept here for too long. Her mom was so bad-mannered.

Hearing these words, Madame Huo stood up and said, “Yes, Lord Ling is waiting for me to give him a message!”
