Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 659: Not that Easy

Zheng Chenyi nodded seriously. “I have to. That is my father’s rank and it should not be given to someone like Zheng Yunfan. The King is looking for someone who can lead the army on the battlefield. If I can get the rank, my father will definitely be delighted. The clan brothers of the Zheng Family are different. What they need is just a rank, they don’t have concern for the whole country.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded. That was true.

The Zheng Family were always out for some tricks and all they wanted was the title.

Zheng Chenyi could be physically strong for the competition. It was just that he had to make some effort.

“Lady Chaoyan, can I be physically strong for that?” Zheng Chenyi asked.

“Yes, but you need to put in some effort.” Gu Chaoyan answered calmly. “You were seriously injured and are not actually as strong as normal people. If you spare no effort, then you will have to suffer a great deal after the competition.”

“I am fine with it!” Zheng Chenyi answered with resolution.

Gu Chaoyan felt his pulse. He was generally healthy, but she still gave him a bottle of pills. “Take one pill every day and when you know about the time and place for the competition, tell me, so I will be there in case of an emergency.”

Zheng Chenyi was surprised and felt rather motivated. He hoped that the competition day could arrive as soon as possible.

Lady Chaoyan was going to watch him compete with the others!

Zheng Chenyi clenched his fist, then he nodded. “Okay!”

“Then I will go back to the mansion for practice!” Zheng Chenyi walked away with a smile, looking like an inspired young man.

Gu Chaoyan looked at his retreating figure in confusion. She was not sure what made him so happy.

She shook her head when she could not understand, then she returned to her own seat.

The tea had turned cold, so Sword One made a new cup for her.

Gu Chaoyan fell into contemplation as she drank the tea.

When Zhou Huaijin walked in, he looked confused too. “What was Young Duke doing here? He seemed to be in a good mood. He bumped into me as he walked out, but he ran away without looking at me! I had some words to ask him about, but he could not be stopped. What had made him so happy?”

Gu Chaoyan shook her head. She also had no idea what made Young Duke so cheerful suddenly, but… She still narrated what happened today. “Nothing really, but something happened to the mansion today.”

“The King did not want to give the rank directly to Young Duke, but asked him to have a competition with the clan brothers and the winner will get the rank. Mrs. Duke North made a fuss here, so he came to explain it to me. Then he asked me to check if he was physically strong for the competition,” Gu Chaoyan said.

Zhou Huaijin had a terrible look on his face.

“That is so unreasonable!” Zhou Huaijin said angrily, “Duke North made such great contributions to the country and he even died in the war. And now he doesn’t give the rank to Young Duke… how can this be fair for Duke North?!”

Gu Chaoyan felt really angry about this too at the beginning, but after she thought about this, she found the whole thing getting complicated.

She placed her hands over Zhou Huaijin’s and whispered discreetly, “Well, in my opinion…..”
