Chapter 63: Marriage

“Madame Gu!” Mrs. Gu stomped hard.

She did not dare to ask Madame Gu to do anything in other aspects, but she did for this matter, which was their mutual benefits.

So she snapped with displeasure. “I am not mistaken, you are mistaken! Ms. Lin’s dowries contain so many lands and stores, and we are all living on those lands and stores. Also, Ruxue needs dowries too, she is not marrying an ordinary family, but the Prince! We can’t look shabby with her dowries!”

“….”

“What does that hideous woman want those dowries for? She may have a little knowledge of medicine, but she is too ugly for any man to marry her! Madam Gu, you have to help the important one, not the unimportant one!”

Mrs. Gu had her own ideas, so she did not like how Madame Gu dealt with this matter. That was why she countered her.

Hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Gu Zhenkang nodded in agreement. “Mom, that makes total sense.”

Madame Gu got so angry that she turned pale.

Both of them were so stupid! How come this son of hers did not resemble her in any way?

If he could be a little bit smarter like she was, she did not need to worry about so many things!

“You are all wrong!” Madame Gu got so angry that she flung away Mrs. Gu’s hand and clicked her cane against the floor. “What do you two know? The ugly girl says that Lord Huai’s men are following her to deal with this matter, and that is a great honor for us! If those from your department know that we are in a close relationship with Lord Huai, you will be honored! And you may get promoted in your career too!”

“But… we all depend on the dowries!” Gu Zhenkang argued. He was of course aware of Lord Huai’s presence, but they just could not possibly become poor again.

Madame Gu shook her head. This son of hers was so dumb-headed.

She sighed. She knew that any more scolding would not change the way he was thinking, so she explained. “Now the ugly girl is a friend of the Wang Family as well as Lord Huai. If she wants the list, just give that to her! She can’t take control of the dowery with a single piece of paper! Those are fields and stores, and she can not possibly take care of them or even know how to collect the rent! She can do nothing without us. Also, the staff who work for the fields are all our men!”

“….”

“More importantly, it won’t matter if she has the dowries, her marriage depends on us! We make the call.” Madame Gu threw a look at Mrs. Gu as she said these words.

Now Mrs. Gu finally understood what was going on, and she was no longer that annoyed.

This ugly girl was not even up to the standard of being ordinary. She was way too ugly! Even if she was a savior for the Wang Family and helped Lord Huai, she might not even find a suitor because of her appearance.

When that time came, what she needed to do was to pick one offspring from her own family. Then she would be in control of this girl anyway.

She should have thought about this before!

“I got it, Madame Gu, now I am going to do the arrangement.” Mrs. Gu was pleased and active in proceeding the errand.

Seeing Mrs. Gu leaving, Gu Zhenkang intended to follow when Madame Gu stopped him.

“Zhenkang.” She said.
