“If we don’t pay her, someone else will. Early birds catch the worm.” Gu Chaoyan said frankly.
Actually, she liked Qing Niang. Thanks to her affection towards money, everything went smoothly. The most convenient thing was to solve the problems with money. She had a great deal of money anyway.
Li Yuanxiang let out a small sound of agreement and followed along.
Gu Chaoyan was not sure if she had understood what she meant, but it did not matter.
The western yard the school arranged for her differed from the room where everyone shared a little space. It was a small yard situated among a large yard, with four wing yards in four directions. They took up 1/4 of the yard, namely the western yard.
The yard was neat and clean, so was the room. The room was totally ready for them to use, as soon as they put down the luggage.
Money could buy them a great residence, Gu Chaoyan thought.
However, they could not have a break now… they had to pay a visit to the Medical Department.
Sword One remained at the western yard, whilst Gu Chaoyan and Li Yuanxiang went to the western yard for registration.
They had just walked out of the western yard when they were stopped. It was Gu Ruxue and Liu Hanxiang again. Without Lord Ling next to her, Gu Ruxue was wearing a very dark expression on her face. She looked at Gu Chaoyan lethally. “Gu Chaoyan, so shameful of you! Lord Ling is my fiance, why are you seducing him ? Are you afraid that you will not be able to marry anyone?”
Gu Chaoyan was confused, but soon she realized what Gu Ruxue meant.
It seemed that when Lord Ling offered to keep her company with the Department, Gu Ruxue thought that it was because of her seduction.
Gu Chaoyan wondered wht Gu Ruxue was thinking inwardly. “Gu Ruxue, it seemed that we were walking towards the Medical Department a while ago whilst you, the student of the Art Department, appeared on our way with Lord Ling.
“You even asked Liu Hanxiang to stop us, so that you and Lord Ling could make it to me. Why is it related to me?
“Also, Gu Ruxue, don’t ever forget that, you are just a concubine.
“Do you think that you, a concubine, would ever have the right to make Lord Ling decide who he should and should not like, and who he would like to invite to the mansion? Even the Princess Consort never interferes with him, and you think you can be part of the plan? You are not even his concubine yet, and you are now committing such a crime!
“Also, Lord Ling is not your fiance, he is already married.” Gu Chaoyan snapped constantly, right at Gu Ruxue’s face.
Gu Ruxue was so furious as she pointed at Gu Chaoyan. “You were seducing Lord Ling anyway!”
Haha… Gu Chaoyan could not help but laugh. She looked at Gu Ruxue as if she were an idiot.
“I don’t care about your treasure,” Gu Chaoyan said indifferently as she pushed away Gu Ruxue. “You just blocked my way!”
Then she left with Li Yuanxiang.
Gu Ruxue was totally dumbfounded – since when did Gu Chaoyan become so difficult to deal with?
Liu Hanxiang was unconvinced. “Ruxue, what should we do? They are gone now!”
Gu Ruxue stomped her feet. “What can we do?!”
What Gu Chaoyan said was right. The reason why she only dared to teach Gu Chaoyan a lesson when no one was watching, was because she was committing a crime as the concubine-to-be, namely being jealous!
