After Marrying the Officer Chapter 530: Throwing the Bait

Moving to the Capital City?

Xia Chuyi’s suggestion had taken both Master and Mrs. Master by surprise.

The matter had never crossed the mind of Old Sir Guan and his wife.

Seeing their astonishnt, Xia Chuyi directly tossed a lure to Mrs. Master, saying, "Master, Mrs. Gu is now settled in the Capital City, don’t you want to go and see her?"

Upon hearing this, as Xia Chuyi had predicted, Mrs. Master paused, then lowered her gaze, pondering for a mont.

Old Sir Guan looked at Mrs. Master.

After a while, Mrs. Master raised her eyes and said to Xia Chuyi, "Let’s talk about this matter another ti."

Master also nodded along with Mrs. Master, telling Xia Chuyi, "We’ll think it over."

Xia Chuyi was sowhat reluctant but then said to Master and Mrs. Master, "By the way, Master, there is sothing I haven’t told you."

"Actually, Mrs. Gu’s health has always been quite poor."

She hadn’t intended to reveal this.

But now, in order to persuade Master and Mrs. Master to agree to go with her to the Capital City, she tried to give away a bit of information.

"What?" Sure enough, Mrs. Master was very concerned and asked, "What’s wrong with Xiu Zhi’s health?"

Afraid that Mrs. Master would worry too much, Xia Chuyi quickly said, "It’s not too big of a problem, just that a few years ago, her legs suffered from gout, making it inconvenient for her to walk."

"But now, under the regin of dicinal Food, Mrs. Gu has improved a lot."

After so thought, Xia Chuyi added, "Actually, I am not particularly gifted in embroidery."

"The reason Mrs. Gu took as an apprentice, I think, is probably because she felt a bit lonely."

"After all, aside from Professor Bao, Mrs. Gu has no other family or friends in the Capital City."

Xia Chuyi continued to throw out "bait."

"Xiu Zhi is..." Quickly, Mrs. Master’s face showed a hint of hesitation and worry.

Mrs. Master looked at her and asked, "Is Xiu Zhi’s health condition serious?"

She replied, "It’s not too bad; at least since she started teaching embroidery, perhaps due to improved spirits, her health has improved quite a bit compared to before."

The implication was that, if Mrs. Gu had company, her mood and therefore her health might improve.

Xia Chuyi thought to herself: Master, I’m sorry; she genuinely wanted Master and Mrs. Master to move to the Capital City, so she could take care of them more conveniently.

Mrs. Master fell silent, seeming to consider sothing.

Knowing that Mrs. Master was already wavering, Xia Chuyi said, "Master and Mrs. Master, it’s like this, I will still stay in G City for a while.

"In the next few days, I will set a regular ti to co here every day to study with Master."

"If you think through the move to the Capital City, you can tell at any ti."

Mrs. Master nodded gravely and said, "Alright, we will give this matter so thought,"

After setting a specific ti to co the following day, Xia Chuyi left Deep Well Lane.

Exiting the lane, she arrived at the eting place she had arranged with Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen saw her from a distance, ca over enthusiastically, and asked, "Sister-in-law, how did it go, did you see the old gentleman?"

Xia Chuyi said, "Let’s get in the car first, then talk."

"Alright!" Xiao Zhen helped her open the car door.

After getting in the car, Xia Chuyi listened to Xiao Zhen chatter, "That Mr. Guan, I heard he has great skills, but is known for having a terrible temper in their culinary community."

"Sister-in-law, if things didn’t go smoothly, you could actually tell Huo Commander!"

"There’s nothing our Huo Tuan can do that Huo Commander can’t handle well!"

The implication was that Xia Chuyi should definitively not turn to Guo Jiacheng.
