Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 308: Jealousy

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at Gu Zhenkang and then at Gu Xiuying who looked completely dressed up.

No wonder Gu Xiuying was present in the hall – that was what Gu Zhenkang was thinking. What a bold idea that he had come up with!

“Isn’t Second Sister marrying Lord Ling?” Gu Chaoyan said.

“That is true. Your second sister is marrying Lord Ling, and if your third sister marries Lord Yu, everything would be great. With them married to the lords, Caixin would be able to marry an excellent family too. Now the King is getting older and older, what if something happens to him? At that time, the Gu Mansion would have a solid support. No matter which lord takes over the throne, the Gu Family would become part of the imperial family!” Gu Zhenkang said proudly. He looked forward to having a bright future with the Gu Family.

Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Zhenkang as if she were looking at an idiot. He did think that he was the smartest guy in the entire world.

Even other ministers in court would not dare to take sides. Which side would he take if something happens to the court? He would not end up well, if he took neither.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head slightly. She now understood why the Gu Mansion had come to the present situation. She wondered if Madame Gu knew any of these.

“Are you helping or not? We are one family and sisters. If we live a great life, we can support each other.” Gu Xiuying threatened.

Gu Chaoyan sneered. She truly had no idea what to say to these two people. “If you want help, you should turn to your Second Sister. Isn’t she going to be the Princess Consort of Lord Ling? Her words matter more than mine.”

That reminded Gu Zhenkang suddenly. How stupid had he been? He should have turned to Ruxue. Gu Chaoyan was just a useless being!

As this thought hit him, he lost all patience with Gu Chaoyan. “Just do whatever you are supposed to do, serve Madame Jiang well, so she stays happy.” Then he hurried off with Gu Xiuying.

Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief. She was not even bothered to dwell upon these two people. Before she went back to the Jiang Mansion, she told Sword One. “Sword One, stay at the Gu Mansion these days and watch out for Chen Fu. Try to see what he is up to?”

“What do you mean?” Sword One asked with a small voice.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head. To be more exact, she truly had no idea what she wanted to get from her. She just felt that something was going on with that man. He seemed to be tolerating something.

“It is fine. Just keep your eyes out for him. Nothing particular.” Gu Chaoyan said.

“Yes, Miss, I got it.”

When she went back to the Jiang Family, Qing was her only maid with her.

The wagon was still the same, so was the driver, except that Chen Fu did not have time to see her off.

Back at the Jiang Mansion.

The moment she entered the mansion, Zhou Huaijin appeared. “Where have you been, I have been waiting for you for ages.”

Well… Gu Chaoyan felt that he was playing cute with her.

She softened her tone. “Zhou Huaiyu asked for me at the Gu Mansion, and delivered the money to me. That was why I was gone.”

The money? He knew that Zhou Huaiyu liked hosting some gaming events when he had time, but he did not expect that Chaoyan would get to know him this way. And she was calling him Zhou Huaiyu in an intimate way! That was not going to work!
