Ms. Doctor Divine

"Gu Mansion is already one of the top mansions in the capital, but it is not as deeply rooted as other noble families. The food prepared by the kitchen ordered by Officer Gu is really well made. They are almost as good as those served by our family."

"…"

"The imperial kitchen in the court serves better food, but it doesn't exist here at the Gu Mansion. So these are all that Officer Gu could do for you."

"…"

"So, please, care about Officer Gu. He is treating you with kindness, but he is not capable enough to do more than that. So you have to understand him," Min Qing said with a reasonable tone.

He was born in a noble family like the Min Family, and he did respect the Phoenix Girl, but he did not suck up to her like the others.

So he was putting forward what he believed was reasonable.

He did not think Officer Gu was right in any way, thus saying so.

Hearing what Min Qing said… Gu Zhenkang nodded in agreement.

True.

He already made the kitchen prepare the best food, which was eaten by them in daily life, but never in this way.

Min Qing's speech made it worse.

Gu Chaoyan seemed really unreasonable at the moment.

Gu Chaoyan said nothing more as she sat there coldly.

She had said nothing more than the first thing she said. It had been Min Qing and Gu Zhenkang who had constantly spoken.

Sword One could not stand it any more.

They kept saying that Elder Miss was being unreasonable as if they never made any mistake.

Elder Miss was trying to set up the Gu Family, but she would never do anything over the top. Elder Miss had never demeaned the food in front of her.

These people were just calling Elder Miss based on their own estimation.

Sword One said to the Young Master from the Min Family. "You are right, Young Master Min, these dishes are exquisite and well made, various in categories, handy to pick, but Young Master Min, none of these caters to Elder Miss' taste."

"…"

"Elder Miss grew up at Qiong Pavilion alone, and she has never been fed with this expensive food. So she is not used to those luxurious dishes. And she only eats one bowl of plain porridge and some simple pastries, and that is what Elder Miss has always wanted. She never mentioned that she needed this expensive stuff."

"…"

"Even if Elder Miss was not the Phoenix Girl, or just an ordinary lady at the mansion, couldn't she just be given something she liked to eat?"

"…"

"What do you mean by saying those words, Young Master Min?" Sword One interrogated, without retreating.

Min Qing looked really embarrassed.

He looked at Gu Zhenkang and the rest of the Gu Family.

They were very embarrassed as well.

Well…

Gu Chaoyan never said anything bad about the food.

They just assumed that Gu Chaoyan started to get critical, and thought that the mansion was not as good as the court, where she lived before.

Well…

It was good that it was Min Qing who said those things. Gu Zhenkang let out a sigh of relief and smiled friendly, "Then the kitchen can prepare those for her."

The issue of the food was solved, but Min Qing was very embarrassed.

Gu Chaoyan, who had a cold expression, turned to Min Qing.
