Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 45: The Position of Lineal Daughter

Chapter 45: The Position of Lineal Daughter

Chaoyan was still in the middle of contemplation when the sound of footsteps arose. They were on the way here.
She was an agent in her previous life, so she had a better hearing ability. It took a while before she heard their voices and saw Madam Gu arriving with a group of people. Madame Gu had a slight smile on her face. That meant that Gu Ruxue was getting better.
She got up and greeted her.
Madame Gu waved her hands directly and said, “Your prescription worked. Ruxue’s face has been cured.”
Standing next to Madame Gu, Gu Ruxue did not show a sense of gratitude, and instead looked down at Gu Chaoyan. She had been furious about Gu Chaoyan for daring to raise an exchanged condition, but now Madam Gu was here helping her to get the position of lineal daughter so she could get married openly. So Gu Ruxue was not that displeased for the moment. Instead, she was showing much pleasure on her face.
“Great Gu Chaoyan, you are smart enough not to hurt me. It is already humiliating enough that you are ugly in the mansion.” Gu Ruxue said disdainfully, as she sat down one seat lower than Madame Gu.
“Hehe.” Gu Chaoyan said disdainfully too.
Madame Gu had no intention of irritating Gu Chaoyan because of Gu Ruxue at the moment. Chaoyan was indeed a very planning girl. As she thought back at what happened to Cai Zhu, she realized that it must have been a purposeful job done by Gu Chaoyan! If she was irritated now, it might not be so easy to get her lineal daughter’s position. So she said, “We talked about this before. If Ruxue’s face is cured, you will get one thing from me as I will from you.”
“....”
“I will try my best to meet your demand, as long as it is reasonable!”
“....”
“I have got one demand here. Your Second Sister is now engaged with Prince and she is going to be the Princess Consort soon, the most promising girl of our family. So for the sake of the Gu Family and the children of the Gu Family, I hope that you can give up your position as the lineal daughter for your Second Sister so that she is able to marry Prince openly and reasonably. She needs the position as the Princess Consort, understand?”Madam Gu’s fixed her blurry gaze at Gu Chaoyan. She was asking her if she understood what she meant, not whether she was willing to give up.
Hearing this demand, Gu Chaoyan felt her heart freeze.
She had thought that the Gu Mansion already did everything bad they could to hurt her, but now they were still trying to deprive her position as her mother’s daughter.
That was how the Gu Family tried to trick themselves and others.
She was the lineal miss, and no matter how the past few years had been like for her, she was still the miss, but now...
They were trying to get her lineal position.
Gu Chaoyan laughed out of extreme anger. “Alright then, I agree.”
Madame Gu had been prepared to make a long speech, but now the words were stuck in her throat. She had not expected that she would agree so fast without hesitation. Madame Gu had thought that she had turned smarter because of what happened to Cai Zhu, but it seemed that she still had no idea of the importance of being a lineal daughter. Her birth mother went away too early so she just could not get a full understanding of her own place.
It was good in this way too.
Madame Gu said with a smile, “It is good that you are so understanding. We are doing this for the family’s interest and you are benefitting from there too.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded briefly.
She just could not turn it down at the moment.
However, soon these people would be paying back double of what they were asking now.
She had no intention of sticking to the position. What she needed was the interests she could get now. “Since I agree with what you asked for, you will have to approve of my demand too.”
“....”
“I have no other thoughts but to get back my mother’s dowry!”
Madam Gu’s smile froze instantly.
