<h4>Chapter 144: To the Court</h4>


    Seeing Lady Chaoyan who talked on behalf of them, themon people became extremely happy. “Lady Chaoyan, here are the garments, are we really getting double times ofpensation?”


    “Of course.” Gu Chaoyan replied calmly.


    “In your dreams!” The manager, who was at the mercy of Sword One, was still acting restlessly. “Nopensation will be given out for the sold garments! If you want money, make this so-called Lady Chaoyan pay you back! You better ask her for help now, otherwise she herself will fall into trouble very soon.”


    p...


    The manager had just finished his words when Sword One pped him right on the face.


    That was a hard p that made half of his cheek swollen.


    Sword One was indeed angry. She had never met anyone who spoke so highly of himself when he was hoaxing themoners.


    With hand over his cheek, the manager pointed at Sword One. “How dare you hit me! I am Mrs. Gu’s cousin! I will send you to court!”


    Haha...


    “Don’t worry, you will be in court before she is.” Gu Chaoyan replied without showing any politeness.


    Sending Sword One to the court? Haha, the court was not going to receive her, considering that she was Lord Huai’s guard, no matter if she had made a mistake.


    Instead of speaking with the manager Gu Chaoyan came to the counter.


    She opened the counter and then she brought out the money. “Come, anyone who wantspensation, bring it to me.”


    Thosemoners, who had been worried that this youngdy would fear Mrs. Gu, came running towards her cheerfully seeing that she was not at all scared.


    Some kind-heartedmoners imed that they did not need doublepensation, just the exact amount ofpensation would do.


    They were not people who acted unreasonably.


    The garments sold from this store had been of such bad quality that they did not dare use them, otherwise they would not havee to get the money back.


    There was a lot of money on the counter.


    But there were quite a lot who needed thepensation, so soon the money was out.


    Seeing the money running out right in front of his face, the manager kept struggling yet failed to get rid of the grip. He kept cursing Gu Chaoyan at the beginning, but Sword One found a piece of cloth to gag himter.


    The incident at the garment store had caused a sensation in town.


    One of the page-boys who kept Gu Chaoyanpany had already run back home to report this matter.


    As the page boy was done with the report, he came running back. “Miss, Madame Gu is asking for you at the mansion. She needs to have a word with you..”


    The words had just been spoken when Sword Three joined the crowd too.


    Gu Chaoyan had been rather busy with thepensation, and as she saw Sword Three, she summoned Sword Three and said, “I still have other matters to deal with at the Gu Mansion, please deal with the rest of the affair. Give the double payment to themoners who are here for thepensation. I will go to Mrs. Gu if the money is out.”


    Then she threw a look at the so-called Mrs. Gu’s cousin.


    “Sword One, take him to the court. He hasmitted the crime!” Gu Chaoyan said.


    “Ahhh...” The manager was gagged and failed to speak. He got extremely excited.


    As the page boy saw the scene, he said, “Miss, this is Mrs. Gu’s cousin, isn’t it improper for him to go to the court?”


    “Oh, so Mrs. Gu’s cousin can skip seeing the court, even if hemits the crime? Since when did the Saint Divine Land be the domain of the Gu Family?” Gu Chaoyan snapped roughly.


    The manager turned pale and the page boy became silent.


    “Didn’t you say that Madame Gu is asking for me? Let’s go and check what she needs.”
