Chapter 583: To Get Back the Dowries
The King was extremely displeased.
Even when it came to Zhao Yiqiu, a letter from him would get him to come to the capital immediately, but this young girl whom he did not speak highly of, was going to negotiate with him! And he had no choice other than to obey her!
This was the poison that even the best doctors in the court, including Zhao Yiqiu, could not detoxify. Only she had the solution.
When Zhao Yiqiu mentioned this girl, he was reminded of how this young girl saved Young Duke from death. So he had to trust her, but…
Even if he was prepared for any conditions that he might hear… the King still sat with a straight back. He was not going to lose his dignity as a King. He needed to be imposing in front of Gu Chaoyan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had been a King for decades, and he looked really intimidating.
Ministers in the court would have sweat at this time, fearing that anything they said or did would displease this man on the throne, but Gu Chaoyan….
Gu Chaoyan was not wearing any expression on her face, but said calmly as she was confronted with the King’s interrogation. “King, I have rules when it comes to treating patients. I need to get paid. When Young Duke got cured a while ago, he gave me stuff worth one million.”
“What you need is to get detoxified, which is different from normal diseases, so I have a condition. Otherwise, a doctor doesn’t normally get involved with poison, right, Mr. Zhao?” Gu Chaoyan said calmly as if there were a rule like this.
Mr. Zhao, who had been calm all this time, looked twisted.
Honestly, he truly had no idea what he should say about this Lady.
After a moment, he answered a small yes, against his will.
The King’s expression was eased, as he heard Zhao Yiqiu’s reply. It seemed that this young girl was not putting on any air in front of him. There was indeed a rule like this.
After all, the King trusted Zhao Yiqiu despite his dislike towards him.
Anyone in the world would lie, including his own mother, but Zhao Yiqiu would not, which the King believed firmly.
“If that is the case, then tell me what your condition is?” The King was all ears as he looked at Gu Chaoyan. He was feeling quite anxious inwardly.
Gu Chaoyan was marrying Zhou Huaijin in the future, then she was probably going to help Zhou Huaijin at this point, which would make Zhou Huailing’s position difficult.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe King fell into the middle of contemplation.
Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly, “Please help me get back my dowries.”
What?
The King looked at Gu Chaoyan in surprise. For one second, he had no idea what she was talking about.
Why dowries?
“In the past two days, Gu Zhenkang drove me out of the family and removed me from the family tree. If I am no longer a part of the Gu Family, then the dowries my mother left for me should be mine. The Officer has sealed the case and said that the dowries should be given to me, but right now, there are guards surrounding the Gu Family and I can hardly get anything back,” Gu Chaoyan said.
The King looked at her, then he suddenly remembered the story.
