Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 38: Duke Changning Is Here

“What are you talking about?”

Qing dropped her voice to whisper. “Miss, have you really forgotten about slapping the Second Miss? She will definitely take revenge. You know that everyone, especially Old Master and Mrs. Gu are on her side.”

Haha.

She had never thought about this matter. Though Gu Ruxue did like making small reports, she also liked to maintain a good reputation. So, she would always make up stories showing herself in a good light. As a result, the slap episode would always remain a secret, because Gu Ruxue must have felt humiliated due to it.

Otherwise, she would not have slapped her that day.

Gu Chaoyan smiled. “She did not talk about this with me.”

“Alright, stop wasting time on useless things. Help me boil the medicine which I bought. I am going to exercise in the yard. I have to take care of my skin and lose some weight!” Gu Chaoyan put down the snacks and the tea cup.

Qing gave a brief reply and went to follow her orders.

She had many doubts in her mind. But her lady was able to cure the little boy, so Qing assumed that she would not have any problem in taking care of her own skin and weight.

It was night by the time the medicine was done. Gu Chaoyan was done with exercising as well.

Qing stepped out of the room to prepare the hot water for the bath.

Gu Chaoyan concentrated for a moment and immediately, got a drop of water on her finger. She mixed it in the medicine, hoping that it would hasten the process of her beautification. Although she was confident about her medical skills, she did not mind taking some shortcuts.

After the medicine and bath, she laid down on the bed and slept.

Gu Chaoyan was quite tired. She found that it was probably because of her excess weight that made her become exhausted easily.

She had a dreamless sleep.

When she woke up, Gu Chaoyan found that her body was sticky. She must have sweated in the night. She quickly instructed her maid. “Qing, prepare some hot water, I need a bath.”

Qing nodded dutifully and went out.

Gu Chaoyan lifted the blanket and realized that her body was filthy, not just sweaty.

Gu Chaoyan thought of the drop of water.

Was this the result of that mystic water?

She seemed to have turned a little thinner and fairer overnight. This put her in a good mood.

Qing had hot water ready and said, “Miss, go and take a bath.”

“For some reason, the servants in the storage room delivered the water the moment I asked them to, totally different from how they used to behave earlier.” Qing mumbled yet did not think about it any further.

By now, Gu Chaoyan had already stepped into the bathing barrel.

After the bath, Gu Chaoyan felt extremely refreshed. “You don’t have to get breakfast from the kitchen today. The snacks we brought back are very tasty, let’s just eat them.”

Qing responded with a smile. She loved those snacks too.

After a quick breakfast, Gu Chaoyan decided to exercise again. She had just finished with some warm-up when Chen Fu came there.

When he saw Gu Chaoyan doing some weird moves, he asked her in confusion. “What are you doing, Miss?”

“Exercising.” Gu Chaoyan said nonchalantly.

Chen Fu laughed hearing the words. “You will look very pretty when you become thin.”

Gu Chaoyan did not bother to respond to his mocking words.

Chen Fu continued speaking. “I am here to inform you that Duke Changning and his wife are here. They are asking for you to come to the front yard.”
