<h4>Chapter 218: Burden</h4>


    Gu Chaoyan’s lip corner twitched.


    Qing... This girl was getting bolder. She was calling her silly!


    “Miss, you used to believe what the Fourth Lady said before, no matter what I said to you. But this time, you chose not to trust her.” Qing said happily, without noticing that Gu Chaoyan was showing a strange expression.


    Sword One was chuckling.


    Alright, Gu Chaoyan had to admit this point. She was in the original host’s body so she had to bear the past of this girl. It was okay, she was no longer stupid anyway.


    Back at the Qiong Pavilion.


    Sword One looked surprised. “Look, Miss!”


    Gu Chaoyan looked into the direction Sword One pointed out. The fruit trees she nted earlier in the yard, which were notrge, were already showing some fruits! And the fruits werepletely ripe now.


    Gu Chaoyan thought of how she poured the magical water into the trees. How wonderful the magical water was!


    She felt a little helpless. She did not expect that the magical water could work so well.


    However, she had toe up with something to exin the whole situation to Sword One.


    Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and said, “Get some down and give them to Madame Jiang.”


    “...”


    “I just realized that the soil in this area is actually very excellent, so the nts growing here are exceptionally wonderful. So I believe that the fruits should be wonderful too! So take some to Madame Jiang! If you want to eat them, pick them down directly!” Gu Chaoyan said calmly and peacefully.


    She made up the whole story, but her story sounded so convincing that Sword One did not suspect her at all.


    Miss was always right.


    So they both went up to pick down the fruits for a taste.


    Gu Chaoyan was not interested in any of this, so she went back to the room directly. She had lots of such things in her space.


    The following day, Gu Chaoyan asked Sword One and Qing to get some fruits for the Jiang Mansion. She also mixed some fruits she got from the space. After all, the air there was even thicker and better.


    She was making wine with these fruits.


    When Mrs. Gu saw Sword One and the other maids going out with lots of stuff, she thought that those stuff were for the Lord Huai’s Mansion. So she felt slightly assured.


    In the following few days, Mrs. Zheng did note to the door.


    The Gu Family, who had been nervous, understood that the whole thing was in the past. They let out a sigh of relief.


    Only Gu Chaoyan understood that Mrs. Zheng was never going to visit them in the first ce.


    The day for them to visit the court finally arrived.


    It was a rainy day. Early in the morning, Lianxiang from Gu Ruxue’s yard came to the Qiong Pavilion. She did not bow like Cai Ming as she saw Gu Chaoyan, but said with her chin up. “Are you getting ready Miss? We are going to visit the court today, and we must be on full alert. If we miss the hour because of a burden like you, you are not going to be able to bear the responsibility.”


    The Second Lady was going to marry Lord Ling, and as her maid, she was going to be very powerful in the Gu Mansion as well.


    Elder Miss was definitely going to be totally useless, so she did not have to show any courtesy.


    As Sword One heard that, she wanted so much to p her right on the face, but Gu Chaoyan stopped her.


    It was a total waste to hit someone like this.


    Since she said so, Gu Chaoyan sat down instead of taking her leave. She took up the teacup and said calmly, “If that is the case, just tell your Second Lady that I am not going. Let the Fourth Lady go instead. It doesn’t matter if I am there. I am a burden, after all, aren’t I?”
