Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 89: Conspiracy

As they walked out of the pavilion, Gu Ruxue’s maid Ming’er asked anxiously, “Miss, what if the hideous girl doesn’t wear them?”

“Don’t worry, she will. She has never seen anything as good as those before. She may be stubborn now, but when the day comes, she will still wear them.” Gu Ruxue was confident. All women liked beautiful things. Even Gu Xiuying did not even get to wear those wonderful clothes. It would be ridiculous if the hideous woman turned them down.

The gang left without feeling unease.

In the room, Gu Chaoyan observed the clothes carefully.

Of course Gu Ruxue was not kind enough to get those clothes to her without any hidden plan.

She would like to see what the hidden plan was – could it be an issue with the sewing?

“Miss, what is the problem with the clothes?” Qing asked in confusion.

Gu Chaoyan nodded and observed it carefully.

Suddenly, she seemed to catch a strange smell, so light that it was almost invisible without careful observation.

Soon...

Gu Chaoyan found what was wrong with the clothes.

She checked the shoulder...

Gu Chaoyan sneered. “She did make many efforts to set me up. How did she come up with such a plan?”

Gu Chaoyan shook her head. “Qing, go and wash the clothes, and then sew them repeatedly.”

“Miss, what is it with the clothes?” Qing asked. She had no idea what the problem was.

“The thread on the shoulder is the point. The thread must have been blended with alums and will break open when touched by water. So...”Gu Chaoyan just could not imagine what would happen to other girls if they ran into this issue. They might not even be able to live on because of this.

The guests needed to perform at the banquet... If the clothes came loose, then the news would spread all over the entire capital city.

Girls cared a great deal about reputation. If such a thing happened, marriage would never happen to them.

Gu Chaoyan had not had a good reputation, so if such a thing happened, Madame Gu would give her up directly. What would it matter if she was skilled in medicine? She would at most be a doctor or an imperial doctor.

Unfortunately, Gu Ruxue had placed the conspiracy on the wrong person.

She was not going to let her plan succeed.

Since Gu Ruxue dared to set her up, she would definitely pay her back. It was her motto to take revenge upon those who once framed her.

“Miss, how dare Second Miss treat you like this!” Qing was still in shock!

“If not for her, I would not have been like this at all.” Gu Chaoyan smiled. “Don’t worry, I won’t be framed. Just go and do that.”

Qing looked at her concernedly, but she went to wash the clothes.

Gu Chaoyan started mixing some medical powder. She knew what was on the clothes by the smell, and it was very easy to make a similar one.

It would be a very tremendously shocking scene, if the prettiest girl of the capital city had her clothes coming loose in public. After all, who would care about the loosened clothes of the ugliest girl? Gu Chaoyan thought inwardly.
