Ms. Doctor Divine

Gu Chaoyan looked at Sword One.

Well, that was what she was talking about. The Officer was here about the dowries.

Sword One was feeling helpless. What was Elder Miss being so proud of her guesses for? It was not good at all.

She truly had no idea how to say it to Elder Miss.

“Please ask the Officer to come over,” Gu Chaoyan said.

Xiu Jie hurried off.

Seeing Xiu Jie’s retreating figure, Gu Chaoyan fell into contemplation – Xiu Jie’s talent was hidden working as a housekeeper in the mansion, but Gu Chaoyan would like to test him to see if he was able to handle small things well. – that was the prerequisite for major matters.

Xiu Jie left after he brought the Officer in.

The Officer was in a hurry as he said, “Lady Chaoyan, it is our fault, but we truly have no way out. There are many people guarding the Gu Mansion and we can’t get in. Your dowries may have to stay there for a few more days.”

The Officer wiped his sweat with his sleeves as he was talking.

He did have the intention of making the case work, but he had few guards from the Government Office and they could not possibly start a fight with the guards at the Gu Mansion. They would fail!

He truly had no way out.

When he reported the case to the superiority department, those leaders did not care. So he had to come to tell Gu Chaoyan about this.

However, he had made up his mind. He was going to apologize to Lady Chaoyan, and if they could not possibly come up with any idea, he was going to ask his men to force themselves in.

“Lady Chaoyan, just wait a few more days.” The Officer said embarrassedly.

“Thank you, Officer,” Gu Chaoyan said politely and asked Sword One to pour the tea. “Drink some tea, please.”

“…”

“Are those guards from the Gu Mansion or from somewhere else?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

“They don’t look like guards from the mansion. My staff have been there before, but they didn’t have professional guards like that,” the Officer said cautiously.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. She was aware that Zhou Huailing had placed his men there.

Apart from those from the Gu Mansion, Zhou Huailing was the second person who cared about the money. He wanted to take the throne and he needed money.

No wonder the Officer could not handle the situation.

Gu Chaoyan reminded him. “It is okay. The Gu Mansion is under the supporter of Lord Ling, and you have difficulty in getting in. Don’t worry, get your men to leave, I will handle the situation.”

“Lady Chaoyan… do you mean…?” The Officer asked in surprise.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

The Officer got her point and left. He said that he would send his men to pass on messages, if there were any.

When the Officer left, Sword One could not help but burst out. “Elder Miss, they are so shameless to keep your dowries!”

Gu Chaoyan waved her hands, asking Sword One to calm down.

It was not a small amount. It was normal that they wanted to take those dowries as their own.

Sword One looked at Elder Miss who seemed calm. “Elder Miss, do you have any ideas?”

Gu Chaoyan shook her head. “No?”

Sword One was speechless.

Oh man, her Elder Miss was becoming more and more confusing!

“But, I seem to have come up with an idea,” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.

Sword One saw Mr. Zhao Yiqiu coming towards them.
