Ms. Doctor Divine

Reminded by Mrs. Gu, Gu Yunhe finally understood that someone might be eavesdropping by the wall and that he should not talk as he would so that secrets didn’t get revealed from his own mouth.

He suddenly became more cautious, so he lowered his voice. He said with displeasure, “I found an excuse to sneak out just to speak with Ruxue.”

Mrs. Gu was surprised.

Gu Ruxue, who was not paying attention to Mrs. Gu and Gu Yunhe, came back to herself and asked Gu Yunhe in astonishment. “What is it, Elder Brother? Anything you want to say?”

Could it be related to the job? She already asked Lord Ling to arrange the best job for him. What was he unsatisfied about?

Gu Ruxue showed a displeased look on her face. She was so stuck with her own business, and now she had to help her annoying brother, but Gu Yunhe never cared about her changing expression.

Hearing what Gu Ruxue asked, he said straightforwardly, “Nothing special, it is about Lord Ling. Ruxue, Lord Ling likes you so much, and offered you the position as the Equal Princess Consort, you have to try your best to suck up to him.”

“…”

“Even the concubine’s son Gu Yunxuan was addressed as Second Brother by Lord Huai! You have to speak with Lord Ling, he has to address me as the Elder Brother! Or how would I go about in the world? I am worse than Gu Yunxuan, the concubine’s son! How would I be able to run the family with such a reputation?”

That displeased Gu Yunhe most.

He was expecting Lord Ling to address him in that way on this trip back to the bride’s home, but Lord Ling showed no sign of doing that at all. How could he feel assured by this? So he came to talk with Ruxue about this.

She was offered the position of Equal Princess Consort, how could he not be addressed as the Elder Brother?

Hearing the words, Mrs. Gu was surprised as she patted Gu Yunhe. “Yunhe, don’t trouble your sister. He is the Lord, and he has his own way of making decisions. Lord Ling would get very displeased if your sister asked him to do so.”

“That is not a major thing! She has been given the position as the Equal Princess Consort!” Gu Yunhe said, unable to fathom a thing.

Mrs. Gu sighed. If only Gu Ruxue could make the strangeness happen at any time she wanted, she would not have stopped Gu Yunhe, but the truth was that she just could not.

Without any idea of what to do, Mrs. Gu spoke with Gu Yunhe about the whole thing. After that, Mrs. Gu stressed. “You have to keep this matter a secret!”

Gu Yunhe gasped. He looked at Gu Ruxue in disbelief. He had not expected that something like this had happened.

If that was true, then the day when Ruxue could make strangeness appear in the sky, he could get whatever he desired?

Gu Yunhe rubbed his hands. “I got it, mom.”

“Don’t worry, I will not ask Lord Ling to address me as Elder Brother now. I will keep the secret of her identity as the Phoenix Girl. We will wait until the time is right,” Gu Yunhe said excitedly as if he had foreseen how he would shine at the peak of his lifetime.

“I will go back to keep the Lord company.” Gu Yunhe said.

Mrs. Gu nodded, then she asked Gu Yunhe to leave the room first.

After he left, Mrs. Gu asked Lianxiang to get the stuff she had been preparing for two days.

She had been so worried these days, so she got something for Ruxue so that she could at least have a back-up choice.

When Lianxiang got it for them, Gu Ruxue asked in confusion while looking at the bottle, “What is it?”
