Ms. Doctor Divine

The moment Zhou Huailing finished his words, the whole Gu Family’s eyes were brightened – they had been feeling so anxious for so long.

Outsiders might have no idea how important Ms. Lin’s dowries were for the family, but the Gu Family were pretty aware. The Gu Mansion was built upon Ms. Lin’s dowries and they would have nothing to feed on, if they were taken away, let alone keeping a grand mansion in the capital.

It’s great that there were some ideas to solve the problems.

Gu Ruxue brought herself back and came to sit down next to Zhou Huailing, as she asked curiously, “What is your idea, Lord?”

Zhou Huailing threw a look at Gu Ruxue and intended to say something, when he stopped himself. Instead, he continued with the issue of the dowries.

As this was mentioned, Zhou Huailing said proudly, “It is not an idea, just a matter of whether the dowries should be released from your side.”

“…”

“Why do we have to give them back when the Officer says so? The Officer is just a nobody!”

“…”

“The Gu Mansion is the Phoenix Girl’s mother’s home, my inlaws’ home, if I stop anyone from coming in to move anything, no one would dare to do anything, right?” Zhou Huailing said arrogantly.

Unless the King approved of the move, no one in the capital could do anything about him.

His Eighth Brother might have his men, but so what? Would he dare to start a fight in the capital?

If he gathered his own forces to start a fight in the capital, he could get easily blamed for having the intention of rebellion.

Zhou Huailing was quite confident about this matter.

Gu Zhenkang and Mrs. Gu finally understood what Lord Ling meant.

“Lord, you mean… as long as we have guards at the Gu Mansion, the dowries would not be moved?” Mrs. Gu asked.

Zhou Huailing nodded with satisfaction.

Mrs. Gu laughed. They never had to be so worried!

The Officer had sealed the case, but so what? The Gu Mansion was a powerful family under the protection of Lord Ling!

Mrs. Gu nodded. So did everyone else. Only Gu Zhenkang asked suspiciously, “What about the civilians? Wouldn’t they think ill of us?”

Zhou Huailing snorted. He was very displeased about what Gu Zhenkang had said. Why must Zhou Huailing please those stupid commoners?

“I am Lord Ling, Ruxue is the Phoenix Girl, we have strong backgrounds to shut them up! The whole world will be mine soon, why do I have to care about what those stupid commoners say?” Zhou Huailing said as he looked up at Gu Zhenkang and said with displeasure. “Officer Gu, you haven’t changed a thing. You were cowards before, but now, you are my inlaws, so you better stop being cowards.”

Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Zhenkang with dissatisfaction. What an annoying man! Lord had gotten everything settled, and this man still asked some stupid questions.

Gu Zhenkang fell into silence.

Mrs. Gu said with a smile, “Just ignore him, Lord, he is too old to understand the situation, you can speak with Yunhe about important things. He is not a young man any more and he can make decisions too.”

Zhou Huailing nodded with satisfaction.

“There is something important. Since the dowries are yours, get some money for me.” Zhou Huailing said naturally.

That made Mrs. Gu feel slightly embarrassed.
