Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“If you are worried about anything, you can also pay me.” Gu Chaoyan blinked as she said.
Mrs. Min smiled, and actually laughed. Then she answered. “Of course I am not. That saves me a lot of money too!”
Gu Chaoyan chuckled too.
The two ladies talked about books in the room, and Mrs. Min only left by lunchtime. Gu Chaoyan had intended to keep Mrs. Min for lunch, but Mrs. Min said that they could do that next time, so Gu Chaoyan let her go.
Gu Chaoyan ate some lunch alone, then she went to have a nap after lunch.
!!
Gu Chaoyan felt a bit tired since she barely had time to sleep since she was in Bingzhou.
The sleep did not end until the following morning.
When Gu Chaoyan woke up, she had a sense that something was happening today.
Sure enough…
Sword One came to her after breakfast.
“Elder Miss, Li Qing is already in Bingzhou and he has met Xiao Jin. Many doctors in the capital have gone out to pick herbs, so they must have been informed by Li Qing too. So since they all went out of the capital, nothing will happen to them.”
“…”
“One more thing. The announcement said that Lord Yan’s Princess Consort has pa.s.sed away, which has been spread around by the officers across alleyways.”
“…”
“I think that the Princess Consort should be the topic of discussion these days so those doctors will not draw any attention. As for those who have not left the capital, there is nothing more we can do.”
Gu Chaoyan was slightly surprised.
She had not expected that Zhou Huaijin would have had Lord Yan’s Princess Consort killed so directly, but it was understandable.
Lord Yan was different from ordinary people. He had been through a lot of mental pressure, and he must have regarded his wife as his own. The overly-trusted woman had, unexpectedly, become what set him up.
Zhou Huailing was not very skilled in dealing with important matters, but he was really good at tormenting people.
Gu Chaoyan slightly shook her head.
She felt sorry for Lord Yan, and hoped that one day, Lord Yan would find the right woman for him.
Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief, then she started to write a letter to Bingzhou.

At the Chu’s Mansion.
Prime Minister Chu was seated in the hall, together with Gu Yunhe, Gu Zhenkang and Mrs. Gu.
He had no intention of meeting them, but the Gu Family were so annoying that he decided to meet them all and settle the whole thing, so that the Gu Family would not cling to them any more.
Gu Yunhe was here with his parents so it was clear what the Gu Family were doing here.
However, Prime Minister Chu did not want to accept the proposal, so he ignored the issue and asked straightforwardly, “Officer Gu and Mrs. Gu, Young Master Gu, what are you doing here today?”
Having said this, he started to tap the table with his finger, causing a light sound.
That was a move Chu Tian did when he was in contemplation.
He was thinking about how to turn down the Gu Family without letting them get any excuses.
“I am here to talk about my son and the Second Lady of the Chu Family’s wedding. My son and Second Lady of the Chu Family are peers and they love each other. We hope that a wedding can be held between them, so I have come to make a proposal.”
