Ms. Doctor Divine

The Gu Mansion had received so much attention, and its owner Officer Gu was going to be beheaded soon. The civilians were all around to watch the show. What was more, his wife was beheaded because she murdered the Phoenix Girl’s mother and mistreated the girl for years.

Many people even had put some rotten leaves in their basket on the way to the execution grounds.

They were just ordinary civilians who could not do anything but toss the rotten leaves on them.

It was not yet time, but there were so many people on the street heading there.

Seated in the wagon, Gu Chaoyan was heading there as well.

She could hear the noise outside. It was the civilians’ curses towards Gu Zhenkang and Mrs. Gu.

Gu Chaoyan had a very calm expression on her face.

Sword One was looking really happy. She lifted the curtains and glimpsed outside, saying emotionally, “The civilians are all people with justice. They are defending you, Elder Miss!”

Gu Chaoyan took her hand and stuffed a pastry into her hands, saying, “Eat it, you talk too much.”

“Oh.” Sword One ate the cake and stopped nagging.

Qing had been staying in the mansion rather than following Gu Chaoyan around. So Sword One was the only close maid she had. Sword One had been very silent after years at the Shadow Door, but she became interested in smiling after spending time with Gu Chaoyan, who seemed even calmer.

Gu Chaoyan’s wagon reached the execution grounds despite the crowd.

It was extremely crowded there, but the leader of the Dali Temple spared a place for Gu Chaoyan, so she could watch the beheading personally.

The cart carrying Gu Zhenkang and Mrs. Gu arrived.

The demonstration for the criminals would take longer.

Therefore, when they arrived at the place, they had bruises all over their faces. Their carts were covered with rotten vegetables and leaves. So was their body.

Mrs. Gu was silent. She had accepted what happened to her.

Only Gu Zhenkang was shouting loudly that he was misjudged.

As they reached the place… Gu Zhenkang saw Gu Chaoyan not very far away, watching them. She still had the vicious-looking maid. She had no guards with her, but Dali Temple arranged a few dozen people to keep her safe.

He suddenly stopped shouting and quieted down.

Gu Chaoyan looked at this dying couple without showing any emotions.

Gu Zhenkang had a very complicated look on his face. He suddenly remembered something.

In March more than one year ago, Gu Chaoyan fell into the water and got dumped by Duke Channing’s son. She was chubby and ugly back then, but she was still standing with a straight back.

She told him that she was going to be extraordinary, and she said that she was going to marry someone with an honored title. She hated him back then. She told him never to regret what he did to her.
