    Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue as well as everyone else were staring at Gu Chaoyan. Apparently, they were curious about the truth. After all, it would be Gu Chaoyan who betrayed Lord Huai, not them.


    “Chaoyan, we are a family, you can just tell us anything.” Mrs. Gu added.


    “I can tell you about it, but you know pretty well what Lord Huai is like. If you know his secret, your lives might be....” Gu Chaoyan made a move of throat cutting.


    Mrs. Gu got startled and cringed. She was no longer that curious about what happened.


    Seeing the situation, Gu Ruxue added uneasily. “Is that so serious? You are just frightening us.”


    Gu Chaoyan raised her eyebrows. “Well, alright, Lord Huai said...”


    Before the words were spoken, Madame Gu bellowed. “Stop mentioning that. If Lord Huai wants to keep it as a secret, then don’t spill out anything.”


    Gu Chaoyan bowed and nodded. She was pleased with the situation.


    Madame Gu was just unhappy that things did not go her way and she could do nothing about it.


    She waved her hand. “We are all tired today, let’s just go back home.”


    “Madame Gu.” Gu Chaoyan said, “I would like to go to the Lin Family tomorrow.”


    These words made Mrs. Gu cease her steps and Madam Gu frown.


    After Ms. Lin passed away, no one had been there and few people mentioned them either. Gu Zhenkang did not allow anyone to mention a thing about them either. Same went for Madame Gu.


    But today, when Gu Chaoyan said that she would like to visit the Lin Family... Gu Zhenkang hopped up and said with a serious face, “No way!”


    “I would like to go there, because I need to get back the list of dowries, since Madam Gu already agreed to give the dowry back to me. Second Sister is getting married soon, right, and I still keep the lineal daughter’s position.” Gu Chaoyan turned to Mrs. Gu, who instantly reacted. “What list? I can sort out the dowry and you can get them, simple and straightforward!”


    Mrs. Gu would never allow the list to be found.


    Ms. Lin had so much dowry with her. She was thinking about giving her some small portions to get by, but she had not expected that she would be smart enough to get the list! Honestly, the Gu Mansion was depending on Ms. Lin’s dowry. Mrs. Gu turned to Madame Gu directly. She and Madame Gu might not get along that well, yet they shared the same ideas when it came to dowry.


    Madame Gu understood clearly that she should not go there. So she clicked the cane and said, “After your mother passed away, the Lin Family and our family have had conflicts with each other. You are not getting the list from them, and you might get humiliated too. I don’t think that it is necessary...”


    “....”


    “Did you notice that the Lin Family and our family never visit each other these years.”


    “....”


    “The Lin Family hates us!”


    “....”


    “Grandma is supervising Mrs. Gu as she goes through the dowry, does that work?”


    Madame Gu did not like Ms. Lin’s identity as a businesswoman, but the Gu Family had never had much wealth and needed money from them. Otherwise she would not have allowed Gu Zhenkang to marry Ms. Lin.


    It had been Ms. Lin’s dowry that gave them a wonderful life.


    When Gu Chaoyan had been hideous and fat and hated by everyone, they never thought about giving Gu Chaoyan the dowry, but now she started to think about the list, which was definitely not given to her.


    Now Madam Gu was trying to stop her from visiting the Lin Family.


    Although the truth was that the Lin Family and the Gu Family had conflicts.
