Ms. Doctor Divine
CH 47
Chapter 46: Dowry
Madame Gu had thought that what Gu Chaoyan was going to ask for was her own defence, so she could have an easier time in the Gu Mansion.
She had not expected that she was demanding to get the dowry her birth mother had left her.
According to the land’s law, the girl’s dowry when getting married belonged to her only, and it was something to be dealt with by the girl’s children.
Ms.
Lin died at a young age, so the Gu Mansion had been taking care of the dowry.
According to the laws, the dowry should be her own daughter’s, namely Gu Chaoyan’s despite her early death.
However, Ms.
Lin’s dowery was quite exceptional.
The Lin Family was in the medicine business and had relations with the imperial court.
So the dowries were quite abundant.
The Gu Mansion could be so wealthy right now mostly because of the dowry from the woman.
The Gu Family had been a family with literacy, yet none of the men stood out because of their knowledge.
So the whole family had had a very poor life.
That was the reason why Gu Zhenkang married Ms.
Lin back then.
Although he married Ms.
Lin for her money, he just did not want to mention this woman at all.
That was why Ms.
Lin had been a rare mention in the entire Gu Mansion.
Even Madam Gu almost forgot that it had been the stores, which were from Ms.
Lin’s dowry, that kept the expenses going on for the entire Gu Mansion.
Silence dominated the entire hall.
Gu Chaoyan was very sure by now that Ms.
Lin’s dowry was very abundant.
The Gu Family just did not want to give them up.
No wonder Gu Chaoyan had been deserted in the Qiong Pavilion these years.
If she had not noticed the leases of these stores in the Qiong Pavilion a few days earlier, she would not have thought about the dowry at all.
What an excellent thing!
Great!
Madam Gu’s face expression turned and then she replied with slightly calmness.
“The dowry from your birth mother will be given to you when you are married.”
Madame Gu was offhand with her.
She was just trying to convince Gu Chaoyan for the time being.
Gu Chaoyan did not believe those words but said straightforwardly, “Grandma, what I mean is that you can put mother’s dowry in my hands.
I was too young and too busy to take care of the dowry, but now I am going to become an adult and the marriage has been recently cancelled, I truly feel insecure not to have the dowry with me.”
Mrs.
Gu who had been watching the show was now not very glad.
If the hideous woman got the dowry, what should they do about Ruxue’s dowry? Ruxue was a very nice girl and she deserved to have those things rather than this hideous woman!
However, Mrs.
Gu could not spill those words, so she said, “There are so many stores in Ms.
Lin’s dowry, and you are not able to manage them well.
When you get married, those will be yours anyway.
You don’t trust me to take care of them?”
“No.” Gu Chaoyan said without blinking.
“You!!!” Mrs.
Gu pointed at Chaoyan furiously.
Gu Chaoyan had no fear at all.
“Everyone knows what kind of life I have had in the Gu Mansion these years, so of course I don’t trust you.” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile, “If you don’t agree with my demand, then our deal is off.
I am still a lineal daughter.”
As the words were spoken, Gu Ruxue got more nervous.
She tugged at her mother’s sleeves, blaming Mrs.
Gu inwardly.
The most important thing right now was the position as the lineal daughter, but her mother kept talking about dowry.
When she got the position as the lineal daughter, the dowry would be in their charge anyway!
