Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 574: Raising Fees 2

The Officer did not make the seal.

Normally, people would bow to the Princess Consort, but now it was a particular time when a case was on, so the Officer did not have to stand up to greet the Princess Consort, neither did everyone involved with the case.

So when Gu Ruxue walked in with an arrogant look on her face, no one moved.

Gu Ruxue did not know about this. So when she walked in, she said disdainfully, “I am just watching the case, you don’t have to greet me. I will just take a seat here.”

The guards exchanged a look among themselves in confusion.

Normally, no one was allowed to walk into the hall when a case was going on, even the bystanders should have been arranged ahead of time. No one just walked in like this Princess Consort. Yet no one dared to stop her.

The guards turned to the Officer. The Officer still nodded, asking them to bring a chair.

The guard went to fetch one chair, “Please take a seat, Princess Consort.”

Gu Ruxue threw a look at the shabby chair – it was a chair for low-class people, not for her!

Gu Ruxue kicked away the chair.

She snapped arrogantly, “How dare you give me such a chair to sit on?”

No special chairs were prepared ahead of time, since there was a case going on right now.

The Officer frowned. He now realized one thing – like father, like daughter. The former wanted to take his daughter’s dowries whilst the latter had no manners – how dare she throw a temper tantrum in the hall. So she was the Phoenix Girl?

If that was the Phoenix Girl, then the whole land would end!

However, the Officer hid his own thoughts and said seriously, “Princess Consort, this is the legal hall, if you continue to make fuss, you will have to leave.”

Gu Ruxue got even more annoyed hearing what the Officer said. She was about to shout something, when Gu Zhenkang said, “Let’s just finish the case first.”

Gu Ruxue stopped herself after hearing what her father said. She asked the servant to pick the chair up and sat down.

Her father was right- she did not have to make a fuss here. It was an Officer, she could just do something about him when she was done with the case.

Gu Ruxue said coldly, “Officer, please continue.”

The Officer struck the seal, then he said, “The law says that a girl’s dowries do not belong to the husband’s family, but the girl herself. If the girl is deceased, then her daughter will inherit the dowries. You will have to return the dowries to the Elder Miss, Officer Gu.”

“As for the raising fees, that is another case, you will have to sue Elder Miss personally,” the Officer said according to the laws.

“Then I will sue her! She needs to pay me back with money!” Gu Zhenkang said angrily.

“Then you will play the drum and receive five hits before the case is processed,” the Officer said seriously, “But if Elder Miss is willing to pay you back, then it is fine too.”

Gu Zhenkang was about to say something, when Gu Ruxue said disdainfully, “Gu Chaoyan, you are so unkind towards your father, you are suing him for the sake of the dowries, I wonder if Lord Huai would like to marry someone like you!”

“Lord Huai is here!”
