Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 493: Assistant

Gu Chaoyan had been taking a break with her eyes closed. When she heard Gu Xiuying talking, she looked at her and asked, “Yes?”

Gu Xiuying sounded even more confident.

She had no assistant for the ceremony, and she was her sister. So she would definitely take her sister into consideration, which was always the principle. Therefore, she was definitely going to be the assistant!

“Your Adulthood Ceremony is approaching soon, since it is already deep autumn now.” Gu Xiuying said.

Gu Chaoyan nodded and affirmed.

“So, since you still don’t have any assistant for the Adulthood Ceremony, why not take me instead? We are sisters, so it should be proper. I am sure that father would be glad about this too.” Gu Xiuying was still a little worried, so she mentioned Gu Zhenkang first. Then she looked at Gu Chaoyan with confidence. She was waiting for her to reply.

She had to take the assistant position no matter what.

Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Xiuying calmly and said, “It is already taken.”

What?! Gu Xiuying looked at Gu Chaoyan with disbelief. It was already taken? Who could it be? That was impossible. This girl had no friends, how could she have anyone as her assistant?

Could it be… that poor girl Li Yuanxiang at the Saint College, as her Second Sister said.

That girl was worse than she was.

“Then tell Li Yuanxiang, I am going to be the assistant, she can just give up. The assistant is a great position, which can not be taken by someone else. You don’t know what happens to Li Yuanxiang at home, right?” Gu Xiuying said firmly.

Gu Chaoyan frowned and looked at Gu Xiuying with displeasure. What right did she have to say something like this to Yuanxiang?

“The assistant is not Li Yuanxiang, but even if she is, I wouldn’t replace her.” Gu Chaoyan said with determination.

What? Not Li Yuanxiang?

“Who is it then?” Gu Xiuying just could not figure out who else it could be.

“Princess Xunyang.” Gu Chaoyan answered calmly.

Gu Xiuying was speechless.

Princess Xunyang?

So it meant that she had already got Princess Xunyang as the assistant! No wonder back at the Min Mansion, Princess Yunxi said that she was going to be the witness, not the assistant. So she had known that Princess Xunyang was going to be the assistant, and it had been confirmed ages ago.

She had not even noticed this point. When was the decision made?

She should have said that earlier. She should not have waited. She should have said that she was going to be the witness, since Princess Xunyang was going to be the assistant.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” Gu Xiuying got annoyed. She just could not maintain her mood when she learned the truth.

“You did not ask me.” Gu Chaoyan answered frankly.

Gu Xiuying was wearing a terrible expression on her face. She was full of regret. She should not have waited. She should not have waited for the sake of her face!

How could it be! She had missed the chance!

Gu Xiuying’s expression was changing constantly.

Gu Chaoyan did not care. As they came to the Gu Mansion, she got off the wagon. Then she headed directly to the Qiong Pavilion with Sword One.

Gu Xiuying looked furious.

Mrs. Gu had thought that she was angry because she was brought out of the Min Mansion by force. So she became slightly cheerful inside. She ignored her and left.

As Gu Xiuying went back to her own yard, Third Concubine walked out happily at the sight of her. “How is it, Xiuying? Anything interesting?”

Gu Xiuying glared at her.

“It is your fault! I have gained nothing!”

“What is going on?” Third Concubine asked in confusion.
