Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 469: Your Guest

Gu Chaoyan nodded in an understanding way.

The Adulthood Ceremony was indeed an important event, one that only took place once in a girl’s life.

She should take the guests into consideration. Now Princess Xunyang was going to be the assistant, and what she needed was a witness and a host. She had very few acquaintances in the capital, so she did need to make some efforts to find some proper suitors, but there was still time, and she did not need to hurry.

She could probably ask Yuanxiang if she was willing to be the witness.

As for the host… she should have asked her aunt, but she did not expect Mrs. Lin to be involved.

Madame Bai was aged, and she did not have any daughter-in-law, so she was out of question.

That did baffle Gu Chaoyan a little bit.

When Mrs. Gu and Third Concubine saw the baffled look on Gu Chaoyan’s face, they were quite happy – Mrs. Gu knew that even if Gu Chaoyan was able to marry Lord Huai, she still lacked guests for her Adulthood Ceremony! Her Ruxue was still better.

The Third Concubine, on the other hand, was looking forward to seeing Gu Chaoyan beg for her help.

Although she did not like Gu Chaoyan, she was going to be the Princess Consort in the future anyway, so it would be great if Xiuying could be her assistant after all.

“I got it, thanks for the reminder.” Gu Chaoyan said peacefully.

Neither Mrs. Gu nor the Third Concubine spoke any more.

The Third Concubine did not mention anything voluntarily either.

Then the dinner continued. The kitchen must have been well-prepared for the dinner, because it turned out to be quite tasty.

Gu Chaoyan ate something quickly, since she had no appetite in sharing food with those people.

The dinner finished fast, after all, none of the people present were really here for food. They were just gathered to find an excuse for a discussion of different matters.

After dinner Gu Chaoyan left.

On the way to Qiong Pavilion, she ran into Cai Ming. She asked Cai Ming if she had gotten the food. Knowing that the maid did, Gu Chaoyan left for home directly.

In the wing-yard.

The Third Concubine arrived home cheerfully as well.

Gu Xiuying was glad too, seeing her mother’s happy look. “She said yes?”

Third Concubine sighed, but smiled again.

“Mrs. Gu is a sneaky woman, she said no! She said that she already asked County Princess Anxi and the Elder Miss of the Huo Family!” Third Concubine said unhappily.

Gu Xiuying was displeased too. She sat down casually and complained. “Then what are you smiling for anyway?”

“Mrs. Gu said no, but Gu Chaoyan needs to hold the Adulthood Ceremony as well. She has no friends here, so she is definitely going to come beg you for help. Even if she is not that outstanding, she is marrying a Lord after all. If she comes to you, you don’t have to embarrass her, just nod when it is time. You are not in a disadvantageous status anyway.” Third Concubine said to her kindly.

Hearing what the Third Concubine said, Gu Xiuying suddenly had some ideas emerging.

She was done with Gu Ruxue, Gu Chaoyan could work too. Lord Huai was handsome, and if she performed well, she might exceed Gu Chaoyan too.

She showed a very happy expression on her face.

“I got it, mom, don’t worry, I know what to do,” Gu Xiuying said confidently.

Third Concubine nodded.

Xiuying was a smart person who did not need much of her concern. That made her assured.

“Apart from you, only Gu Caiqin is suitable for the job. Don’t get overshadowed by Gu Caiqin when it is time.” The Third Concubine reminded her. “Also, you have to be prepared to face Gu Chaoyan. She will be coming to you soon.”
