Ms. Doctor Divine

She normally went to the front yard alone, but now she had Sword One, so she always took her along with her. Sword One knew martial arts and she was Lord Huai’s guard. So Madame Gu could do nothing to her when Sword One was with her.

She felt quite assured with Sword One alongside.

She had just come to the front yard, when Gu Chaoyan found something was different. A few more strangers were there, and they seemed even more arrogant than the servants at the Gu Mansion.

It seemed that the Gu Mansion was receiving someone who had a higher position than Gu Zhenkang.

Gu Chaoyan was still thinking who was on the visit, when she realized what was going on, at the sight of the couple seated at the hall.

Madame Gu waved at Gu Chaoyan with a very loving face. “Chaoyan, come and meet Officer Zhao and his wife.”

“Greetings.” Gu Chaoyan bowed.

Officer Zhao took a look at Gu Chaoyan and sparkles arose in his eyes. He laughed. “Mrs. Gu looks very nice. Rumor goes that you are ugly, but I think that you are very pretty, maybe a little chubby. But we are not a particular family, so you are a good match with our son.”

As he was speaking, Officer Zhao kept sizing up Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan frowned. If not for Princess Virtue who promised to deal with this matter for her sake, she would have done that herself.

Seeing Officer Zhao satisfied, Madame Gu flushed too.

She was no longer that angry about how Gu Chaoyan made the fuss at the stores. If they managed to establish a marital relationship with the Zhao Family, nothing else mattered.

As for the dowries… they could have a discussion with the Zhao Family, even if it meant that they might get less profits.

“We are satisfied with you, but you have been divorced before and you are marrying our son as the legal wife. So when we are hosting the wedding, we have to keep a low-profile. Or we will not gain a good reputation in the capital.” Mrs. Zhao continued. She had a flat expression on her face. It was hard to tell if she was glad.

Madame Gu got startled. After a long while, she answered. “That is going to work, but when is the wedding day?”

“We will get a Fengshui Master to make a calculation. When the date is certain, we will inform the Gu Mansion.” Mrs. Zhao replied with a flat expression.

“Sure.” Madame Gu agreed happily.

As long as they could make the relationship work, nothing else mattered.

Well… Madame Gu never asked Gu Chaoyan what she thought, as the couple left the mansion.

When the couple was gone… Madame Gu said to Gu Chaoyan with a kind tone, “Chaoyan, now you see that your marriage is settled, just do not do anything like that in the store. Your husband’s family would not be glad, especially not someone like the Zhao Family!”

“Anything like what?” Gu Chaoyan looked at Madame Gu. “That is my mother’s dowry, I can even sell them if I want to, I am not doing anything improper.”

Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s harsh words, Madame Gu discontinued her speech. “Alright, just do whatever you want. What matters most of all is the marriage with the Zhao Family. Just go home and take a break.”

Gu Chaoyan did not say anything more, but she thought that it could be a great idea to sell the store. She should think about it.

“Miss, why are you not turning down the marriage arrangement with the Zhao Family?!” Sword One was confused.
