Chapter 216: Ill Intention
As long as they paid a great deal for the trouble.
Gu Chaoyan did not show any coutersey but accepted the check. She said with a guaranteed tone, “I will definitely deal with the matter well.”
Madame Gu nodded with satisfaction.
As Gu Chaoyan walked out of the front yard, she thought inwardly that the Gu Family were so gullible. It took her just a few words to get 1 million yuan.
Apart from the money she gained from selling the store, she was able to buy a high-quality yard in the capital city. When the time came, she was going to move out of this place, so that she did not have to feel disgusted by the Gu Family any more.
“Miss, are you alright?” Sword One and Qing came running, asking worriedly.
Judging from how the servants behaved, they realized that something was going to happen. They were so worried yet they just could not get in.
Gu Chaoyan shook her head. Together with Sword One and Qing, she walked out of the front yard.
Then they found an empty place and brought out the check of 1 million, chuckling. “I am not only doing well, but I also tricked them into giving me one million. Sword One, tell Sword Two to find a place for us to buy.”
Sword One and Qing got startled. That was such a huge amount of money!
They thumbed up simultaneously for their lady.
The three of them laughed and talked as they walked back to the Qiong Pavilion. Then they were stopped halfway.
Gu Caiqin looked at Gu Chaoyan with widely-opened eyes. She said with a sweet voice, “Sister, finally, here you are!”
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while in her head. Only now did she realize that she was the Fourth Lady of the Gu Mansion.
Since she was born by a concubine, she was not supposed to go to the front yard. So she was barely seen.
As far as the original host remembered, she was probably the nicest girl among all the four sisters. She often behaved very obediently. She was liked by the original host who often gave her presents.
However, Gu Chaoyan did not like her that much. She might have a smile on her face, yet the smile was so hypocritical, and she did not look innocent.
Probably only the original host was able to get tricked by this stupid acting skills.
“What is it?” Gu Chaoyan asked calmly.
Gu Caiqin was startled. She felt that this sister of hers had changed not only on the surface, but also in her personality. When she greeted her in this way before, this sister of hers was always cheerful, but today... Why did she look so cold?
Bah! She changed because she gained some popularity in the front yard.
If not for the banquet she had to attend, she would not have come to this place to flatter this ugly girl.
Nevertheless, she still showed a very sweet smile on her face. Soon disappointment hovered over her face. With her handkerchief in her hands, she said, “Sister, I heard that you are going into the court in a few days, but I have never been to the court before. Sister, you are the lineal daughter, could you please speak with Madame Gu about me following you guys there too? She will definitely approve of it!”
Then she showed an expression of shyness.
Gu Chaoyan would have offered to help and talked with Madame Gu when she heard the flattering words, but... If Gu Chaoyan did so, Madame Gu would definitely think of Gu Caiqin and replace her with Gu Chaoyan instead.
Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly, “Sure, when I have time, I will speak with Madame Gu, don’t worry.”
As the words were spoken, they started to head towards the Qiong Pavilion.
Gu Caiqin’s smiling face stiffened. She pointed in a different direction and said, “Sister, Pear Garden is not there!”
