Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 428: Help or Not

Seeing Gu Yunhe’s behavior, Gu Chaoyan was glad that she had asked Sword One to leave, otherwise she would have gotten so annoyed.

“Tea is in the kettle, you can serve yourself.” Gu Chaoyan said coldly. “My Qiong Pavilion isn’t as flourishing as your yard. I have only one maid serving me so I have to do everything myself. If you are not used to my place, please leave.”

“You...” Gu Yunhe was almost suffocated with anger.

Seeing the kettle and the empty teacup, he gave up. And then he started to serve himself the tea.

Gu Yunhe had never done such a demeaning thing in his entire life. If not for what he was about to say, he would never have dropped by.

The Qiong Pavilion was so shabby that he felt very uncomfortable sitting here. He felt that everything was filthy. Nevertheless, the filthy place was incredibly proper for Ms. Lin’s daughter.

“I won’t drink a thing, you don’t have any good-quality tea I believe. Nor have you ever drunk any good tea in your life either.” Gu Yunhe said disdainfully.

Gu Chaoyan said nothing. She poured herself some tea and took a sip. She ignored what Gu Yunhe said. She did not have to make any effort to talk with Gu Yunhe at all.

Seeing her saying nothing in return, Gu Yunhe cursed inwardly – Ms. Lin’s daughter was so dumb-headed.

Then he added, “I am working for Lord Ling and now I am fully loaded. Soon, I will be granted an official place. I am doing well in the capital, and the Gu Mansion is going upwards with me around.”

Gu Chaoyan showed a cold expression, showing no interest in what he said as she continued drinking the tea.

Gu Yunhe snorted. Ms. Lin was so dumb.

He did not think that this kind of girl would know how to seize the opportunity. So he said straightforwardly, “Now I am entrusting you with an errand, which you will have to agree to take.”

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at Gu Yunhe.

So he was here to ask her for a favor. However, his attitude made her feel that it was she who needed a favor.

“It is about the dowries. Ruxue is getting married and her future husband is Lord Ling. She is going to have a wedding in the same manner as the Equal Princess Consort, which is an honor given by Lord Ling to our mansion. The Gu Mansion is a wholity, so when Ruxue and I are doing well, everyone in our mansion will do well. If neither of us are doing well, no one is going to have a happy life either.”

“...”

“Therefore, I hope you can understand the position you are in right now.”

“...”

“Ruxue doesn’t have enough dowries, so I am giving you a good offer – share half of what you have so the two sisters can have the same amount, so the two lords can be satisfied.” Gu Yunhe said, looking confident. He believed that even a dumb-headed person would understand what he meant and what to give up and share.

“...”

“I am going to the master of the Gu Mansion, and a married woman has to have support from her mother’s family. None of the women without a mother’s family would end up well, especially in the royal family where people are set up all the time.”

Gu Chaoyan showed no expression as she looked at Gu Yunhe. And she said nothing in response.

Gu Yunhe thought that she had not fathomed what he meant. “We are not born by the same parents, but this time, if you are willing to offer Ruxue a hand, I will bear it in mind, and I will back you up too.”

A while later, Gu Chaoyan was still silent.

Gu Yunhe stressed. “Gu Chaoyan, are you willing to do that or not?”
