Chapter 304 Support her Xuanyuan Qing has always been a troublemaker, wishing that the world would not be in chaos. Facing the crowd who came forward to offer their courtesy, he said with a sly smile, "Everyone, don't bother with me today. I'm just accompanying Shopkeeper Gu out for some fun and to get a feel for the people. If you have any questions, just go find him." After saying that, he really brought Qingluan and Huofeng into the clinic, sat down, and watched the excitement while drinking tea. Everyone immediately gathered around and formed a circle to surround Gu Chan. "Manager Gu, my surname is Huang. I run an ironware business in Zhongyuan City. My family now owns ten ironware shops and some other businesses. My daughter just turned fifteen this year and will be an adult next year. You might as well consider marrying her!" "You only have ten ironware shops, and you dare to come to Manager Gu? Do you think it's so easy to be the Seventeenth Imperial Concubine? Manager Gu, I am a salt merchant in Zhongyuan City. I am in charge of the salt business in the entire Zhongyuan area. My daughter is twelve years old this year, just the same age as you. It will be right to get engaged to my daughter." "Go, go, go away, all of you. Shopkeeper Gu, my brother is a fourth-rank official in Kyoto. If you want to get engaged to my daughter, when you arrive in Kyoto, you and my brother will be a family. It will definitely be helpful to you. My daughter is sixteen this year. You can go straight into the bridal chamber after you marry her, and you will have a big fat boy next year!" Many people came forward to introduce themselves, and they all vied to marry their daughters to Gu Chan. Gu Chan really didn't even have a chance to speak as she was completely drowned out by the saliva of the crowd. "Hahaha……"
In the medical clinic at the rear, Xuanyuan Qing sat on a chair, crossed his legs and watched the fun, laughing heartily and enjoying himself. Gu Chan waved her hands anxiously and shouted, "Alright everyone, stop arguing. Please rest quietly in the yard and wait. I have to go to the clinic to take care of some family matters first." "Manager Gu, do you have any other household affairs to deal with?" "Yes! Your man is just a poor man, how can he compare with my daughter!" "Manager Gu, divorce her immediately. Don't let her ruin your future." Everyone started to persuade her again. Without exception, they all looked down on Ouyang Wan'er, a poor girl. They thought that their daughters were far better than Ouyang Wan'er in terms of status and appearance. Gu Chan's brows furrowed and his face became stiff when he heard this. Of course, factually speaking, she also admitted that what this group of people said made sense. Ouyang Wan'er was born into a poor family and is definitely not as good as these rich ladies. But from Gu Chan's perspective, how could she possibly abandon Ouyang Wan'er? Waving her hand to calm everyone down, Gu Chan said loudly, "Everyone, I believe you all should know that when I had nothing, Wan'er was willing to get engaged to me and has been with me until now. Although we are only engaged and have not really married, no matter what, she is undoubtedly my wife who has lived through hardships together." "If I abandon my wife now that I am rich, am I still a human being? And if I were such a person, would you trust me with your daughter?" Everyone was immediately choked speechless. Gu Chan added, "Now I ask everyone to calm down, take a good rest and wait, let me go in and deal with this matter, and after I have dealt with it, I will come out and give you an answer." When everyone heard what Gu Chan said, they made way and walked aside to rest and wait. Gu Chan quickly ran into the clinic. Ma Zheng came forward and said, "Boss, Sister Wan'er is in the room upstairs. Her eyes are swollen from crying. She hasn't come down for two days and has been locking herself in her room. You should go up and check on her!" "You stay here and entertain the Ninth Prince." Gu Chan ordered. Ma Zheng nodded quietly. Gu Chan ran upstairs quickly and soon entered the room on the fourth floor where she and Ouyang Wan'er lived. After entering the room, closing and locking the door from the inside, Gu Chan walked to the bed and sat down. At this time, Ouyang Wan'er was lying on the bed with her back facing her, her whole body curled up like a wounded bird. Not only was she trembling all over, she was also sobbing constantly.
Gu Chan looked distressed, and quickly reached out and patted her shoulders and said, "Don't cry, the Ninth Prince is trying to trick me! We have known each other for so long, you know what kind of person I am, you only have you in my heart." "Husband..." Ouyang Wan'er could no longer hold back her tears. She turned around abruptly and threw herself into Gu Chan's arms, sobbing bitterly. Gu Chan hugged her tightly, feeling really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. After crying for a while, Ouyang Wan'er calmed down and said to Gu Chan, "Divorce me! Everyone is right. You can't let me hinder your future. From now on, I will be a little maid in Zhongyuan Medical Clinic. Just give me food to eat." "I'm telling you, the Ninth Prince has tricked me this time. It's fine if I can't become the Seventeenth Prince, but if I do become the Seventeenth Princess, you will be my best princess. Anyone else who marries me can only be my concubine. You are my best princess." Gu Chan immediately gave Ouyang Wan'er a reassurance. Ouyang Wan'er burst into laughter and said, "Are you serious?" "Of course it's true. Stop crying. Cheer up right now. Act like a royal concubine and go outside to scare those people away." Gu Chan said. "Ah? How do I put this?" Ouyang Wan'er said stupidly. Gu Chan immediately stood up and imitated the pretentiousness of the concubines in the palace that she had watched in TV dramas before. She taught Ouyang Wan'er everything, including standing posture, gestures, tone of voice, facial expression, etc. After a while, the two came down from upstairs again. Ouyang Wan'er seemed to have completely changed, giving people a feeling of cold and arrogant. When everyone standing in the yard saw her change, they were all dumbfounded. Gu Chan stood at the entrance of the clinic and said to everyone, "Everyone, this is my fiancée Ouyang Wan'er, the poor girl you all mentioned. You will listen to what she has to say next." "Listen to me, all of you. From now on, I can only be the Seventeenth Imperial Concubine. Any of your daughters who wants to marry my husband must pass my test first. And after entering the house, you can only be a concubine. Don't even think about shaking my position, otherwise don't even think about entering the house." Ouyang Wan'er said fiercely. Everyone looked at her with their eyes wide open, completely stunned in the yard. Their original idea was that no matter what, they had to persuade Gu Chan to divorce this poor girl and marry their daughter to him. But now, the poor girl in their eyes suddenly showed a different temperament, which completely shocked them. Now they have to consider whether they really want to let their precious daughter marry Gu Chan as a concubine. Gu Chan breathed a sigh of relief and finally had a smile on her face. Anyway, as long as Ouyang Wan'er could stand up, she could save herself a lot of trouble! (End of this chapter)
