Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 388: Conspiracy 1

Lianxiang was feeling lucky. She almost burst into laughter!

She was leading the way.

Due to what happened earlier, Lianxiang was worried that Elder Miss was not easy to deal with, but she turned out to be a dumb-headed person after all.

She led the way and turned around occasionally to see if they were following. She was feeling quite assured after seeing her following.

This kind of behavior made Sword One notice that something strange was going on. She whispered at Gu Chaoyan. “Elder Miss...”

Gu Chaoyan looked up at Sword One and shook her head slightly, asking her not to say a thing – she knew.

Sword One let out a sigh of relief. So her Miss was aware of the strangeness after all.

“Go to find Sword Two.” Gu Chaoyan told Sword One by moving just a bit of her lips.

Sword One nodded, assuring Elder Miss.

The four Swords were the most skilled hidden guards at Shadow Door, and they could make themselves almost invisible in the dark corner. For example, when Elder Miss wasn’t sure if any of them was around, they were, as a matter of fact, always around. The four hidden guards had different orientations. Apart from her and Sword Two, the other two were on watch every now and then. So she did not have to worry about anything.

Knowing that Sword One had gotten everything ready, Gu Chaoyan said nothing more. She followed Lianxiang to the front yard through which they came to study.

There was no one in the study.

Lianxiang said, “Elder Miss, please take a seat, Old Master and Mrs. Gu should be here very soon.” Lianxiang took the kettle and poured Gu Chaoyan a cup of tea.

The tea was hot, and it seemed as if the tea was just made.

Lianxiang kept staring at Gu Chaoyan.

Lianxiang did not move her gaze until Gu Chaoyan took the cup. She looked about and said, “There is no pastry here. Sword One, can you come with me to get some pastry.”

Lianxiang was speaking when Gu Chaoyan took up the tea, ready to take a sip.

She had just taken up the tea when she sensed a strange smell. Some other smell was blended with the scent of tea.

Oh, that was their plan.

Gu Chaoyan threw a sidelong glance at Lianxiang, who was staring at her transfixed despite her intention of getting the pastry.

If that was the case, Gu Chaoyan took a sip directly. Then she said to Lianxiang and Sword One calmly, “Sword One, just go and help her.”

Sword One was worried, unwilling to leave.

Gu Chaoyan nodded and gave her an assuring look.

Sword One answered. “Then let’s do it.”

Lianxiang was wearing a very excited look on her face as she took off with Sword One.

They had just left when Gu Chaoyan fed herself some magical water and detoxification pills.

Mrs. Gu had got such low-rated pills for her. She was just thinking, when the sound of knocking arose.

“Who is there?”

“It is me, pretty girl.” A very indecent-sounding voice arose from outside.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head – honestly, Mrs. Gu just could not think of any other method to set her up, could she? She had used this method before in the court and now she was using it again.

The door was pushed open, and a handsome-looking man with an indecent smile walked in.
