Gu Chaoyan, who had gone to the Qiong Pavilion, did not hear what those guards were talking about.
After one bumpy and dramatic day, she was very tired.
Qing got hot water ready and she decided to take a full bath. The water drops were extremely useful. Because of the water, her plan to become prettier had been realized ahead of time.
She looked at her own reflection from the bronze mirror.
Her skin was becoming fair now, and she was still slightly chubby. Nevertheless, even so, her facial features started to stand out, especially the pair of beautiful eyes. She believed that as long as she lost some more weight, her face would become prettier. However…
Gu Chaoyan felt her left cheek, where a red birthmark was visible. It was quite small, and did not stick out when she was chubby and tanned, but now that she had become fairer, the birthmark was becoming more and more conspicuous. Gu Chaoyan had not yet gotten an idea of how to remove the birthmark at the moment.
That sounded a bit unfortunate, but the most important mission right now was to lose weight.
That was a very long night.
Gu Chaoyan had a very nice sleep since her plan to become prettier went on very smoothly.
However, she was still sleeping the following morning, when Chen Fu came running to the Qiong Pavilion. Because of how Madame Gu treated Gu Chaoyan, he did not dare to do anything unfriendly at the Qiong Pavilion. He was asking Qing to get Gu Chaoyan out.
Gu Chaoyan was not in a hurry and did not go out to meet Chen Fu until she was well dressed.
Chen Fu was pacing back and forth in the hall of Qiong Pavilion when he saw Chaoyan coming out. He said quickly, “Miss, the staff of the Government Office of the capital city are here to take you to prison! They said that you hit the prince of Duke Changning! Madame Gu is not here in the mansion and the Old Master is just…” Chen Fu did not dare to say anything more, but asked Gu Chaoyan to come up with an idea.
So…
Gu Chaoyan more or less understood what happened.
Her so-called father Gu Zhenkang did not care about her at all.
“Well, let’s go and work with the staff,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly and then looked at Qing. “Qing, you stay at the Qiong Pavilion.”
Chen Fu was slightly surprised. He was about to say something, but uttered no words. He had thought that Miss had come up with an idea.
She had come up with many ideas these days.
Was she going to walk into prison now?
“Miss, if a girl has been to jail, maybe the marriage will… you know.” Chen Fu reminded her involuntarily.
Gu Chaoyan threw a look at him. Wasn’t this man working for Mrs. Gu?
“Got it.”
Hearing the words, Chen Fu had to let go.
As she walked out of the Qiong Pavilion and came to the front yard, Gu Chaoyan was grabbed by the staff from the Government Office. As they had Gu Chaoyan, the officer said to Gu Zhenkang courteously, “Officer Gu, we are here completing a fair trial, so we have to bring her away.”
Gu Zhenkang nodded. He took a step forward and looked at Gu Chaoyan, surprisedly finding that this daughter of his was becoming prettier. However, he did not care and said with a frown, “I can’t help you about this matter. You should not have hit the prince. You know pretty well who that man is!”
“…”
“Now you are going to be jailed, you will learn from this lesson so that you won’t bring any more trouble for our mansion!”
