Chapter 145: Nothing Good

Gu Chaoyan did not think that Mrs. Gu was asking for her because of something good. Someone must have told her what happened and she was just asked to go home instead of continuing with the fuss here.

Superficially speaking, Mrs. Gu might be the one in charge of the stores, but the revenue must have flowed into the Gu Mansion.

That was exactly what made Mrs. Gu anxious.

Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly and asked the horseman to go through the bustling streets they had just been to.

There were many trade stands on the bustling streets.

When she passed by this place a moment ago, no fresh herbs were sold. The herbs were probably sold directly to the pharmacies. After all, no one except for the doctors would buy the herbs home for planting. Such a stand would not exist here.

Therefore, Gu Chaoyan started to consider planting some fruits in the empty space.

She was thinking what kind of fruits would grow in that magical space.

The page boys got very anxious seeing that they were not on the way home. “Miss, where are we going? Madame Gu is waiting at the mansion!”

They were worried that Miss would go and make trouble in other stores.

If that happened… they would be doomed.

“We are on the way home, but I need to buy some things.” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.

The two page boys were not very assured.

They were not on the way home! They had taken a roundabout way!

Gu Chaoyan ignored them. With Sword One gone, she got off the wagon and picked a pile of various kinds of fruit trees from the market. Those trees were already growing. She did not want them to grow too slowly.

After the shopping was done, she placed some in the wagon, or asked the page boys to carry them.

That made the two page boys even more miserable.

Normally, their job was to carry cosmetics when they were out with other ladies. However, when they were out with this Miss, they were carrying trees back home.

Nevertheless, they did not dare to refuse the order. The Miss was no longer the same as before.

With these trees on their shoulders, they spent even more time before they finally reached home.

Gu Chaoyan was still feeling quite pleased inwardly. She just could not help but imagine what those fruit trees would be like in space.

At this moment…

A very luxurious wagon passed them by.

The young man in white dress could not help but ask after seeing the scurrying wagon. “Which family does this wagon belong to?”

“Sir, the mark says that it is from the Gu Family. But there are many such families in the capital city, are we looking into which Gu family it is exactly?” The guard replied courteously.

The young man in white shook his head. He just found it a bit funny.

Which noble lady would buy so many trees? Weren’t they supposed to buy cosmetics?

Okay, it was a Gu Family.

He did not need to look into that matter. They would meet when it was time. If that ever happened, he was not going to let her go so easily.

“Let’s just leave.”

The young man in white replied with a cold voice, and the wagon marched on.

The guard let out a sigh of relief.

This was an interlude that was totally unknown to Gu Chaoyan who was seated in the wagon.

They arrived at the Gu Mansion and Sword One, together with Chen Fu, was waiting for Gu Chaoyan at the doorstep. “Miss, Madame Gu is waiting for you at the front yard.”

“Okay.” Gu Chaoyan replied calmly and said to the two page boys, “Take the things to the Qiong Pavilion, Qing, go and watch them.”

Then she looked at Sword One. She was suggesting that Sword One should come to the front yard with her.

She did not think that Madame Gu was asking for her because of anything good.
