Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 400: Not Like This

Mrs. Duke North had been nagging to herself anxiously so she shivered hearing the angry shout. She looked at Zheng Chenyi in confusion, obviously unaware of what made him so pissed.

Seeing his mother’s look, Zheng Chenyi could not utter a word. That was what his mother was like – she was dubious because she had to take care of him all these years alone. He should not blame his mother for what she had done.

He let out a sigh of relief, as anger disappeared, gentleness again dominated. He explained carefully, “Mom, Lady Chaoyan is not someone who remembers the grudge. Why bother to think about all of these?”

“If she does care about the grudge, she would have done something immediately. When I left the court the other day, Lord Huai even sent some of his men to see me off. Can’t you stop taking Lady Chaoyan as someone evil? She is a very broad-minded woman!” Zheng Chenyi said.

He had not spent much time with Lady Chaoyan, but judging from the way she talked and behaved, as well as the book he was reading, he could tell that Lady Chaoyan was different from ordinary girls. That was why he was certain about this idea.

Lady Chaoyan would not hate the whole Duke North Mansion for what his mother had done to her.

He had no idea why mother had been so certain about her grudge which had been troubling her for so long.

As he was speaking, Mrs. Duke North still kept shaking her head. “Chenyi, you are way too young to understand all of these.”

“...”

“You will never know what is happening and what other people think! You should not take everything so easy. Duke North Mansion has been in a very embarrassing position in the court, you will get framed if you stay so innocent.” Mrs. Duke North got very anxious as she spoke.

Zheng Chenyi got slightly annoyed, but he simply could not vent the anger. He shook his head, then he left.

He was very annoyed – and he was very afraid that he would piss off his mother because of the fury. So all he could do was to leave now.

Mrs. Duke North sighed slightly, looking troubled. Chenyi grew up at Duke North Mansion and he had to stay discreet every day in case he got framed. How could he still stay so innocent under such an environment?

She had to make plans for him now, otherwise Chenyi would not make it.

As she thought of this, Mrs. Duke North asked the housekeeper to walk in.

The housekeeper answered. “What can I do for you, Madame?”

“Go to the storage and sort out my dowries to see how much we have left. Give me the list and we should see if they are enough for Lady Chaoyan.” Mrs. Duke North said, looking rather worried.

Duke North Mansion was still the grand, old Mansion, one of the most prestigious royal families, but now, it was empty from inside out. There was nothing left for them to give out, except for this magnificent-looking mansion.

As she thought about this, Mrs. Duke North returned to her own yard with a bitter look on her face.

The housekeeper turned around to carry out the mission, as he gazed upon Mrs. Duke North’s back figure.

***

When Gu Chaoyan returned to Saint College, it was lunchtime. The students were off the course, walking about in their departments.

Gu Chaoyan would like to turn to Li Yuanxiang directly, so she started to head towards the room for herb making.

Before she reached the room, she was stopped by Liu Hanxiang. “Oh look at who it is. Ms. Elder Miss, what are you doing here rather than staying at home waiting to get married?”
