Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 268: Li Yuanxiang’s Tale

The man in the green blouse had no idea that Gu Chaoyan was first at the riding test, so he trusted what Gu Ruxue said.

Well, it sounded quite reasonable. She was a disgraced miss who had never been tutored to do anything. So she would not be able to write any poetry at all.

The man in green continued to work on his own paper as he ignored Chaoyan’s behavior.

Gu Ruxue, however, got totally angry as she held the brush tightly. Damn Gu Chaoyan, she was totally annoying.

Lots of thoughts went on in her head and she could not come up with any lines.

Gu Chaoyan, who already walked out of the pavilion, had no idea what was going on inside. She was in a good mood. The whole test seemed quite easy for her. If everything went well, she was definitely going to be accepted by the Medical Department. By that time, she could finally stand by Zhou Huaijin’s side and feel equal. After she went into the Medical Department, she was going to achieve something great with her own abilities. Only in this way would she become someone excellent enough to be Zhou Huaijin’s wife.

What Gu Chaoyan was thinking was to survive in this society the moment she arrived here. However, she had not expected that Zhou Huaijin had become one of her biggest motivations.

“What are you thinking for you to smile like that?” Zhou Huaijin asked as he came to her side.

Gu Chaoyan was startled.

With her eyes upon Zhou Huaijin’s handsome face, she asked, “What... are you doing? Didn’t you leave?”

Zhou Huaijin shook his head and pointed in one direction as the two started to walk there.

“I don’t have much to do today, so I am waiting for you here. You finished your work quickly!” Zhou Huaijin said, thinking that it was lucky that he did not leave, otherwise he would not have been able to see her again.

Gu Chaoyan felt a little bit guilty as he spoke with her. She had borrowed the ancestors’ poetry which did not originally belong to her.

She chuckled. Instead of continuing with the topic, she asked Zhou Huaijin curiously as she thought of how Zhou Huaijin spoke about Li Yuanxiang. “You said that you know who Li Yuanxiang is, how come?”

Zhou Huaijin found an empty pavilion and asked Gu Chaoyan to take the seat next to him.

Zhou Huaijin was never surrounded by anyone, either because Fu Bao stopped all the potential visitors or because no one dared to take a step forward. As far as she remembered, only County Princess Anxi dared to approach Zhou Huaijin but most of the time, she ended up being in a terrible situation.

Zhou Huaijin had never been interested in gossip, but Li Yuanxiang and her mother were so different that they drew his attention.

He said straightforwardly when Yan asked him to tell the story, “Actually, many people in the capital city should be aware of Li Yuanxiang’s story.”

“Her mother used to be the madame of the Liu Mansion, the lineal son of the Liu Mansion, namely Liu Zongyuan, is an intelligent man with integrity. He made many efforts to find a position for him in the capital, since he was born in a very poor family. Unfortunately, however, after he married Li Yuanxiang’s mother, he also got many concubines. And he favored his concubines too! So both Li Yuanxiang and her mother suffered a great deal.”

Then he even thought about getting one of his concubines, namely Liu Hanxiang’s mother, to replace the position of legal wife. That disappointed Li Yuanxiang’s mother deeply,” Zhou Huaijin said.

“What happened then?” Gu Chaoyan asked curiously. Zhou Huaijin was not someone who cared about other people’s family affairs, but if he did know so much, it basically meant that the whole thing must have been quite unique in his eyes.
