Chapter 573: Raising Fees 1

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I am her father. I should get some raising fees from her when she leaves the family.” Gu Zhenkang said firmly, “Also, she is going to marry Lord Huai and she will be the Princess Consort. She can just leave the dowries to me. You are so unkind not to even offer this amount of money.”

When this word was mentioned, those commoners suddenly stopped talking.

Although they were angry to have been called the stupid commoners, but children should pay filial piety to their parents. That was what they were thinking here – they had to be kind to their parents. It was not wrong for the father to get an amount of raising fees.

Also, just as Gu Zhenkang said, Elder Miss was marrying Lord Huai and did not need any money. Why must she stick to this point firmly?

Gu Zhenkang became proud when he silenced those audiences.

When Gu Chaoyan left the other day, Mrs. Gu had told him a lot of things, assuring him totally. After all, Gu Zhenkang was Gu Chaoyan’s father and he was always able to defend himself. Now it seemed that his wife was right.

The Officer looked at Gu Chaoyan, expecting to hear what she said.

According to the laws, Elder Miss was definitely going to win the case, but apart from the law, there were public opinions that usually would tear down the forces of those girls who intended to lay the charges.

He would like to defend Gu Chaoyan; he could not allow such a nice person who was willing to help the refugees to be ruined by public opinions.

Gu Chaoyan sneered, “Raising fees?”

“I was living in the most shabby Qiong Pavilion in the whole mansion with weeds growing everywhere. I only have one maid named Qing with me, who used to serve me when my mother was alive. As for the dresses… I believe that most of you have seen what I was wearing before. I believe that even civilians don’t wear clothes like that. As for the food… for years, I was never given one piece of meat in my meals.” Gu Chaoyan recounted her old days calmly.

Then she threw a look at Gu Zhenkang and smiled, “Then let me show you how many dowries my mother has left for me.”

Gu Chaoyan took out the list she had got from the Lin Family.

It was more than a few papers. It was several booklets of lists.

Gu Chaoyan said before she read the list, “If some of you are old enough, you must have seen how grand my mother’s wedding was.”

There were some elderly men in the audience. They started to remember the situation. They might not even remember about the wedding of other noble ladies, but they did have a clear memory of how the lady of the Lin Family was married.

“It was a very grand wedding!” Some of them said,

Gu Chaoyan asked Sword One to read the list. She did not stop even after one quarter.

Gu Chaoyan then looked at Gu Zhenkang and interrogated. “Gu Zhenkang, do you think you are qualified enough to bear the raising fees?!”

Gu Zhenkang had an embarrassed look on his face.

The civilians in the crowd found this annoying too. How shameless he was to have asked for so many dowries if he treated Elder Miss in this way?

“Return the dowries! Return the dowries!” The crowd started to boo.

The Officer almost let out a sigh of relief. He was about to seal the issue, when a hoarse voice arose, “Princess Consort Ruxue is here, the Phoenix Girl is here!”
