Gu Chaoyan did not stop Sword One from continuing. She was not a saint. She did have feelings about what she was told. The Gu Family never liked Gu Chaoyan or had any positive opinions about her, be it the original Gu Chaoyan or the present Gu Chaoyan. They always thought that she should feel lucky, if someone was marrying her, but she was not like that.
She could understand what Sword One was doing. She was defending her, and she was going to let her do that. So she just showed a brief smile.
Madame Gu was startled. She had been disabled from walking for just a short while and now someone was proposing to Gu Chaoyan? Who could that be?
She shook her head slightly, and she just could not believe what she heard.
She knew her son well. He did not like Gu Chaoyan, not because of how terrible Gu Chaoyan was, but because of her mother who was a businessman’s daughter. Because of that, Gu Zhenkang was not going to treat her well, let alone help her marry someone great.
Could she have something the Gu Mansion was never going to get? That was why she looked so determined.
Now her maid said that she was marrying someone, who sounded extraordinary in social status.
Could...
“Could it be one of Lord Huai’s subordinates?” Madam Gu asked with a testing tone. If that was the case, she still had a chance to offer her someone better.
Sword One got so annoyed. She was angry for her Miss. Her Miss was a great woman. Did people think that she only deserved to marry a servant?
She was a servant too, and she did not think that being a servant was anything bad, but her Miss was a Miss, a lineal daughter. If that was what Madame Gu thought of her, then how could Madame Gu ever offer her something better? So she did not want to conceal the truth.
She looked at Gu Chaoyan briefly.
Gu Chaoyan smiled and nodded.
Without any hesitation, Sword One said, “Madame Gu, you are wrong. Elder Miss is going to marry Lord Huai, and she is going to be the Princess Consort! Madame Gu, can you give her a better marriage than that? No one is better than Lord Huai, isn’t that? Please tell me, if there are any?”
Madame Gu had just been thinking which Young Master had offered their hand, but she almost sprang out of the bed when she heard what Sword One said.
Her eyes widened. She glared at Sword One transfixed, “What?”
“Elder Miss is going to marry Lord Huai in the future.” Sword One repeated calmly.
Madame Gu had been excited, but now she almost collapsed and her mind was drifting away.
It was her fault. She had not expected that. Lord Huai helped her repeatedly, but she never thought that he would marry her. She thought that Lord Huai only liked her for her medical skills. However, honestly, Lord Huai could just find any skilled doctor he wanted, so why did he ever want to pick her?
It was her fault. She should have sensed that, but now... It was all a mistake.
If she had thought about this at the very beginning, the Gu Mansion would have had a different future and she would not be trapped and deserted like this. And she could be cured too.
Madame Gu was unconvinced. “But can you cure me?”
