Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 83: No Wonder

He had thought that he misheard her.

Lord Huai, really? The most noble lord of the Saint Divine Land, the lineal son of the Queen and the most beloved child of the King. The king did not even blame him for chopping off the arm of the minister’s daughter. He was indeed a lethal man!

How did Chaoyan get to know anyone like him?

Seeing her uncle’s overly startled look, Gu Chaoyan realized that she should not reveal her plan of marrying Lord Huai in the future.

Instead, she explained calmly. “We ran into each other at the Elder’s mansion. He heard of my excellent medical skills and needs my help. So he dispatched several men for me to use.”

Despite the explanation Lin Jiaxing was still in shock.

So Lord Huai was asking her for help? Did she really mean that?

No wonder... No wonder Chaoyan was so confident. No wonder Chaoyan was bold enough to fight against the Gu Family.

Lin Jiaxing turned extremely excited.

He hated the Gu Family for abandoning the Lin Family when they lost the status as the imperial business family. He hated it when they looked down at them for this reason, but now Chaoyan had befriended Lord Huai.

So... So if the Lin Family could ever regain the status as the imperial business family...

That would be beyond Lin Jiaxing’s imagination!

“Uncle, just stay here. I need to go home now.” Gu Chaoyan said as she saw the wagon standing outside the door.

“Oh.” Lin Jiaxing brought back to himself. They had already come to the doorstep. What he had been thinking should not be mentioned at the moment. However, he could talk about that in the future. “Chaoyan, after you get home, please inform me when you need anything.”

Gu Chaoyan smiled and nodded, then she went into the wagon.

Standing at the doorstep and seeing the wagon disappearing, Lin Jiaxing let out a sigh of relief and started to walk into the mansion. Then he laughed and felt like he was in a good mood.

He had intended to return to the study, when he thought of Lin Jiashu and took the turn to Chuyun Pavilion.

The situation at Chuyun Pavilion had already returned to normal under Mrs. Lin’s control. Shui Lan was just a maid, and her becoming a concubine depended on one order from Mrs. Lin, who only needed to get them a nice room to get the whole thing settled.

Mrs. Lin was speaking with Lin Jiashu at the moment.

Seeing Lin Jiaxing here, Mrs. Lin walked up and said with a smile. “Old Master, have you got what Chaoyan needs?”

“....”

“Chaoyan is not as mild as sister. She is quite intimidating. Please talk with her about it, okay? She splattered tea water over Jiashu just because he exchanged a few words with her. She would not make a good wife for any family!” Mrs. Lin sounded very gentle, just like a senior who cared deeply about a junior.

Lin Jiaxing would not take it seriously if it had been the past, but now things were different.

Hearing what Mrs. Lin, he glared at her. “If you two had not misunderstood her, Chaoyan would not have gotten mad! Don’t ever bad mouth Chaoyan in front of me. She is Jiashu’s savior, don’t you ever forget! You have to treat her nicely and politely.”

Mrs. Lin’s smiling face sank.

So now, Gu Chaoyan was more important than Jiashu in the Old Master’s heart?

She did not dare to counter, but sat there in utter silence.

At the Gu Mansion.

Gu Chaoyan had just come to the doorstep when Chen Fu came to her and showed a flattering smile. “Miss, Madame Gu is asking for you in the front yard, now.”
