564: Out of the Family

Out of the Family

Standing calmly right there, Gu Chaoyan kept her back straight without moving an inch.0

She did not even show any slight changes on her face after hearing what Gu Zhenkang said. She said calmly, "If that is the case, then father, please remove me from the family tree. Also, I am not yet married, so I am taking away every piece of the dowery my mother had. As for anything else, I won't bother you any more."

Having said these words, she turned around and was about to leave.

Gu Zhenkang's eyes widened. He had lost the imposing air he was holding - he had just meant to frighten this girl, but she was truly leaving the family.

"You…" Gu Zhenkang was speechless.

"You can leave, but you are an unmarried daughter who has no right to talk about dowries!" Mrs. Gu said coldly. She knew pretty well how much dowry Ms. Lin had left. She wanted this girl to leave the family without bringing away the doweries!

Ruxue had married Lord Ling…

Lord Ling had to use a lot of money and the Gu Family had to help a little, but the Gu Family was not a business family so what they had was all in the storage. And much of the money had been spent.

If Gu Chaoyan brought away the dowries, what would they have to give to Ruxue?

"You won't be able to take away those things!" Mrs. Gu insisted.

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at Mrs. Gu. So this woman was trying to take possession of Ms. Lin's dowries?

Gu Zhenkang had intended to say something, but got stopped by Mrs. Gu. He fell into silence. He was thinking that Gu Chaoyan could leave the family, but she should leave the doweries to them. Ruxue would be enough for the family, since she was the Phoenix Girl. Also, they had just offended the Queen and Lord Huai, so he did not expect the Queen and Lord Huai would be of any help for them. Therefore, those doweries were the most practical thing to keep at the moment. So Gu Zhenkang nodded in agreement.

Gu Chaoyan sneered. "Are you sure?"

"Oh yeah?" Mrs. Gu said reasonably. What would Gu Chaoyan do about it?

Maybe she would sue her at the governmental office.

Gu Chaoyan would not take this risk, thought Mrs. Gu.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. "Alright then."

Having said these words, she left with Sword One and Qing. Both Sword One and Qing looked very annoyed.

As they walked out of the mansion, Qing said, "Elder Miss, why should we leave Ms. Lin's dowries to them?"

"Don't worry, they won't be able to take them away." Gu Chaoyan said, "Let's go to the mansion first and we will deal with other things later."

Gu Chaoyan was feeling a bit tired, so she was not in a mood to deal with this thing today. However, no one was going to take anything away from Gu Chaoyan. She was going to make those thieves pay for every piece they had taken away from her.

Both Sword One and Qing believed what Gu Chaoyan said.

Sword One went to fetch the wagon.

Since they came out of the mansion alone, no one had gotten their wagons ready, so they had to go on foot.

It was very convenient to find wagons to rent in the capital. Soon Sword One found one wagon.

They got into the wagon and headed towards the mansion.

Seeing Gu Chaoyan's look, Sword One was very worried. "Elder Miss, are you alright?"

"I am fine, just tired. I am a doctor, and I know my body well," Gu Chaoyan said, asking Sword One to be assured.

That made Sword One feel slightly less worried.

As they came to the mansion, Sword One helped the girl to get off the wagon.

They ran into Zhou Huaijin and Zhao Yiqiu at the gate.

Zhou Huaijin felt something was wrong, the moment he spotted Gu Chaoyan here. "What just happened?"
