Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 366: Lord Ling’s Visit

As the Young Duke was mentioned…

Gu Chaoyan thought of the look Young Duke gave her. She could not think of the cause of that look, but something was wrong. She liked The Saint Divine Anecdotes, but it was not at all indispensable. She did not have to pay a special visit just to get it.

When the Young Duke left the court, he would return the book to Sword One if he ever remembered.

So Gu Chaoyan shook her head. “No need, just get another one.”

Sword One nodded in an understanding way and went to seek for some other book.

Madame Jiang gave her a lot of books after they left the Jiang Family, and every one of them was fun to read.

Gu Chaoyan enjoyed reading them too. So she drank the tea and started to read the book.

***

The following day, Gu Chaoyan decided to sleep in since she was free, but early in the morning, Chen Fu came to her door again.

He asked her to go to the front yard for something, and mentioned that Lady Ruxue was home too.

Gu Chaoyan sighed. “Sword One, could you please ask Fu Bao when will my house be ready?” She sounded very annoyed.

She had tried to keep a low-profile yet things kept popping up to her. She needed a sleep!

“Okay!” Sword One found it funny.

She had thought that her Elder Miss was calm and poised, but after spending some time with her, she found that she could be childish too.

For example right now, she was complaining and that was what a young maid often behaved like. So she got dressed quickly.

Gu Chaoyan did not enjoy getting dressed up too fancy. Most of the time, she did not even use jewelry. She often wore plain-colored dresses and styled her hair in a simple way. So her preparation time was often very short. Soon she was ready.

Chen Fu took a look at her as they were walking out. He hesitated and asked, “Elder Miss, don’t you want to dress yourself up a little?”

Gu Chaoyan shook her head slightly without thinking. “No need.”

Chen Fu was about to say something when he stopped. Instead, he just led the way.

Gu Chaoyan had thought that they were heading for the front yard, but Chen Fu was taking the roundabouts. So she asked involuntarily, “Where are we going?”

“To the garden.” Chen Fu replied honestly.

As Gu Chaoyan came to the yard, she knew what was going on. All the ladies of the Gu Mansion, including Gu Wanru the concubine’s daughter, were there, surrounding one man, who turned out to be Lord Ling.

Gu Chaoyan frowned – what was he doing here again? She was about to leave when Chen Fu said, “Lord Ling came to our mansion for the first time, and Old Master asked all the ladies to keep him company, please stay, Elder Miss?”

Gu Chaoyan frowned.

Gu Zhenkang was such an unruly person. There was no reason to get all of the ladies to keep Lord Ling company at the garden! She shook her head slightly. “I am not feeling well, I need to leave.”

“Lady Chaoyan!” Lord Ling stopped her and then came in her direction.

Gu Chaoyan greeted him. “Greetings, Lord Ling!”

“Ruxue is playing the zither, and she says that you are quite skilled at playing the zither, come and teach her, alright?” Lord Ling asked.
