Chapter 104: Outstanding
As she was speaking, Gu Ruxue was struggling just to start a fight with Gu Chaoyan.
However, Madame Gu stopped her and covered her mouth, fearing that something more inappropriate would come out of her mouth.
She would have approved of Ruxue before. She was pretty and had an excellent suitor, and the Gu Family had to rely on her. For her sake, Gu Chaoyan was nothing, and she could even bear the responsibility for today!
However, now it would not work.
Ruxue had humiliated herself, yet she could not get Chaoyan involved.
Chaoyan had not only the support from the Wang Family, but also Lord Huai as well as Madame Min. What was more, Princess Gu had helped to arrange a marriage for her too. So, no, she must not do anything.
Madame Gu covered up Gu Ruxue’s mouth and asked the maid to bring Gu Ruxue back to the inner chamber of Princess Gu at Biquan Palace.
And during the whole process, Gu Chaoyan was standing right on the spot with back straight, staring at Gu Ruxues’s mess.
Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Chaoyan fiercely.
She did not believe that Gu Chaoyan was smart enough to set up Ruxue, but she was making a mistake today, if she did not get her to admit. Also, she was angry that Madam Gu was not helping Ruxue this time.
She took a few steps forward and glared at Chaoyan with a fierce look. “Ugly girl, you better admit the wrong doing today, or you are never going to have a peaceful day in your life.”
Gu Chaoyan sneered and approached Mrs. Gu, asking calmly, “Auntie Gu, did you ask Madame Gu for permission for me to admit the mistake?”
The words had just been spoken when Gu Chaoyan left without taking one more look at her.
Mrs. Gu stood motionlessly on the spot. She felt that something different had happened to Chaoyan, but she could not tell what the difference was.
She shook her head.
Impossible. She was still the ugly girl that could be easily bullied by them.
Mrs. Gu followed the gang.
As they came into Biquan Palace, Gu Chaoyan was on the way to see Gu Ruxue when a maid from Biquan Palace stopped her. It was a stranger who showed a cold expression to Gu Chaoyan as they met. “Lady Chaoyan, Princess Virtue is asking for you.”
Princess Virtue?
Gu Chaoyan nodded and left with the maid.
It was a fortunate thing if Princess Virtue was asking for her.
When she was checking up Princess Gu during the daytime, she more or less understood that Princess Virtue would either ask for her or try to cause her trouble. It would be great if it was the former.
It was always more useful to get one more friend than one more enemy.
Princess Virtue was the main princess at Biquan Palace. So she was residing in the largest hall.
There were quite a few maids and eunuchs in the major hall, and the maid led her in.
Princess Virtue was seated in full composure. Her well polished hand was holding the teacup. However, she was not taking a sip from the tea, nor did she show any expression.
Gu Chaoyan greeted her politely.
After the greeting, Princess Virtue nodded. “Sit down.”
“…”
“You stood out very clearly today.” Princess Virtue said as she was still holding the cup.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but look at her hand.
“Thanks, Princess Virtue.” Gu Chaoyan replied with a smile.
“However, you should never get confused by one glorious moment and assume that you can do anything and achieve anything.” Princess Virtue said, sounding honest.
At the interval, her maid changed a new teacup for her.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. “I got it.”
“You got what?”
