Ms. Doctor Divine

Observing Tian Qi’s departure, Jiang Caixiu’s mother grew genuinely fearful. She hastened to catch up, pleading for mercy. “Danqiu, Danqiu, please don’t be like this. I realize my mistake now. The engagement between Caixiu and you is over. You two have nothing to do with each other. It was my thoughtless words that led to this situation.”

“…”

“Please, Danqiu, spare me. Caixiu is already taken away. I can’t afford the same fate. Our Jiang family would be ruined—completely hopeless!” She couldn’t fathom the dire future that awaited the Jiang family.

Her cries echoed, and Gu Chaoyan frowned, irritated by the unjust implication that the Yan Family was to blame for the Jiangs’ predicament.

“The Jiang Family’s plight is your own doing. Jiang Caixiu brought it upon himself, just as you did. Whatever befalls the Jiang Family is your responsibility. Face the consequences of your actions,” Gu Chaoyan retorted, her patience waning.

Unable to tolerate Jiang Caixiu’s mother any longer, Gu Chaoyan expressed her frustration.

Fortunately, Tian Qi swiftly reported the incident to the authorities, who promptly arrived at the Yan residence.

The officials, recognizing the troublemakers from past visits, inquired, “Who’s causing trouble?”

Gu Chaoyan pointed at Jiang Caixiu’s mother. “It’s her.”

Without hesitation, the officials apprehended her and turned to Gu Chaoyan, requesting, “Please come with us, Miss Yan. Let’s verify the credentials.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded and planned to follow him.

Auntie Lianhua was a little worried.

Danqiu was a girl after all, and she wasn’t married yet. Although she wasn’t the one causing trouble, it wasn’t good to go to the government.

She thought for a moment and said, “Danqiu, I’m also present. Besides, I spoke first. Why don’t I go with you? You can wait at home.”

Gu Chaoyan knew what Auntie Lianhua meant.

Her heart was warm.

However, she had to go personally. After all, it was related to her.

Also, although Auntie Lianhua was also very smart, she was afraid that she would not be able to explain it clearly.

So she decided to go there herself.

“Don’t worry, I will be back soon. We have done nothing wrong, so don’t worry.” Gu Chaoyan said.

Only then did Auntie Lianhua stop insisting. She nodded and agreed.

She was afraid that Danqiu’s reputation would be ruined.

If Danqiu had her own ideas and plans, it was fine. She would just listen to her.

Before she left, she handed the house to Auntie Lianhua and followed her.

The officials arrived and departed, escorting two individuals away. A curious crowd of villagers gathered, eager to witness the unfolding events.

Although the officials remained tight-lipped, they dared not oppose Auntie Lianhua and the others.

“Why were they taken away?” the villagers inquired of Dao Seeking.

“Jiang Caixiu’s mother instigated trouble and the matter was reported to the officials. It’s only natural for them to handle it. Return to your homes and don’t linger here to witness the disturbance,” Auntie Lianhua responded with measured words.

When she alluded to the notion of causing trouble, the villagers, to some extent, found the explanation credible.
