章 82: With Lord Huai

However, seeing Gu Chaoyan's brief smile and calm face, he soon gained back his composure and felt gratified.

He had not fully believed that the girl only needed the dowry list to cure Jiashu, but now he did. He might be honest, but he was not stupid as a businessman. He knew that this girl was paving the road for herself.
