Chapter 347: Your Desire

There were many rooms in the imperial hospital, so Mrs. Duke North went to a vacant room and guided Gu Chaoyan in. The pageboy served a kettle of tea whilst Gu Chaoyan took it and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Duke North.

Because of what Zhou Huaijin told her about Duke North the day before, Gu Chaoyan felt that she should respect the people at Duke North’s Mansion. Therefore, she was showing a very friendly manner in front of Mrs. Duke North.

She took a sip of tea. It was honeysuckle tea that was served at the imperial hospital, which fitted the hospital’s style perfectly.

“What are you wondering about, Madame?” Gu Chaoyan said involuntarily, “Young Duke is badly injured, but he should recover well if he takes a good break.”

These words were spoken to assure Mrs. Duke North.

Mrs. Duke North nodded. Honestly, she did appreciate Gu Chaoyan, who was young and capable, and who also had a wonderful personality. If her husband had been alive, she would have agreed to hook her son with this girl up, but at present, they were all having a difficult time at Duke North’s Mansion. Her son was called the Young Duke, yet there were way too many siblings and cousins from the Zheng Family who looked forward to seeing something happening to her son, so that they could get the rank. So Chen’s wife had to be beneficial for him. The Gu Family were far too low in position. Otherwise she would have considered this girl as her son’s wife.

Mrs. Duke North sighed. “Thanks to you, Chen is safe. What payment do you want, I can give you anything.”

Gu Chaoyan took another sip of the tea.

Instead of thinking, she shook her head directly. “No thanks. It is what I should do.”

She would not possibly ask for payment, since she did admire Duke North to some degree. Also, she was brought in by the Dean who would definitely offer her something good in return. Besides, she was not here for money.

Seeing her direct rejection, Mrs. Duke North no longer smiled. Maybe she turned down the jewelry, because she was desiring something better.

“As far as I know, you are not having an easy time at the Gu Mansion. We from Duke North’s Mansion might not be as honorable as before, yet we are still able to promise what you want. You are really giving the offer up?” Mrs. Duke North sounded a bit serious at this moment.

Gu Chaoyan was about to say something, when Mrs. Duke North continued. “Lady Chaoyan, I am afraid that I may not be able to give you what you really desire. Chen is going to marry someone who is going to be beneficial for him, and she is not going to be you, although you did save his life.”

Gu Chaoyan was speechless. She could not utter a thing. She was no longer feeling as cheerful as before.

This is Duke North’s wife, not him. She should not have taken them as the same person.

“Then give me the jewelry. Just give me as much as you think the Young Duke’s life is valued. And don’t send them to the Gu Mansion, but to my restaurant. Someone will take care of it for me.” Gu Chaoyan snapped directly.

Mrs. Duke North had a very complicated expression on her face at this moment.
