Chapter 37: Jealousy (Part 2)
“Move the begonias out of the yard. I am afraid that the rashes on her face were caused by those flowers.”
Having said the words, she left decisively from there.
It was not until Gu Chaoyan disappeared from the Begonia Yard, did Mrs. Gu suddenly come back to herself. She asked Gu Zhenkang in an unsure voice. “Old Master, can we trust what she said?”
“The Duke Changning’s Mansion is sending people to make the marriage proposal soon, and none of the doctors have a way to cure her. So, we have to give it a try. After all, she was able to cure the little boy, so she might have some knowledge in medicine. Also, we can ask a doctor to check the prescription before using it.” Gu Zhenkang analyzed both the drawbacks and advantages of using her prescription.
Gu Zhenkang was a clever person, otherwise a minor scholar could never have become an officer at the official’s temple.
Mrs. Gu heard him and thought that it was the only option left in front of them.
She asked the servants of Begonia Yard to show the prescription to the resident doctor of Gu Mansion, and to boil the medicine if he instructed them to.
Hearing her mother give instructions, Gu Ruxue’s eyes widened and she screamed in disbelief. “Mom, how can you make me drink the medicine prescribed by that hideous girl? She wants to kill me!” Gu Ruxue could not trust Gu Chaoyan, so she refused to drink anything given by her.
Seeing her behavior, Mrs. Gu consoled her in a small voice. “Ruxue, none of the doctors are able to cure you, so we have to try this prescription. She would not dare to cause you trouble so blatantly. Your father warned her before she came to the yard. He told her that if your condition doesn’t improve, she will have to die because of that. I believe that she won’t do anything harmful to you for her own sake.”
Only at this point did Gu Ruxue get a bit assured. “Really?”
Mrs. Gu nodded, assuring her daughter earnestly.
Just to please her, she went ahead and told her the details of the conversation between the girl and the old lady. “That ugly girl reached a compromise with Madame Gu in exchange of a condition raised by Madame Gu herself. Madame Gu has promised me that as soon as your face gets cured, she will grant you the position of the eldest daughter before the wedding!”
She held Gu Ruxue’s hands in her own. “You have to take good care of yourself these two days. I believe that your face will definitely get better.”
Gu Ruxue was overjoyed hearing those words. She nodded and found this unexpectedly wonderful news to be very satisfying.
She had never liked her position as the daughter of a concubine.
Moreover, Duke Changning’s wife cared a great deal about her daughter-in-law’s social status as well. She had been worried that she would not be getting married under a proper title, but now, all her worries were gone.
Gu Ruxue was no longer scared about being framed by her sister.

By the time Gu Chaoyan came back to Qiong Pavilion, it was already evening. Seeing her miss return, Qing was really relieved. “Oh finally! Miss, you are here.”

“Miss, did you have a hard time at Begonia Yard?” Qing sized up Gu Chaoyan, trying to see if she was injured. She had been very worried all this while waiting for her.
Shaking her head, Gu Chaoyan found a place to sit down and said with a laid-back expression, “I was just checking her face, nothing would have happened.”
As she was talking, Qing got the tea and snacks ready and served them.
The tea leaves and snacks had been brought back from the Wang Family. When they had asked what Gu Chaoyan wanted as a reward, she told them that she needed food and drinks rather than jewelry.
Qing glanced around and then whispered. “Miss, you haven’t forgotten about it, right?”
