Chapter 105: Presents for You
“I am one of the ladies of the Gu Family, but I am not helping Princess Gu.” Gu Chaoyan replied calmly. She put it straightforwardly when answering Princess Virtue’s question, just like before.
She was a straightforward person, and after a brief conversation, she understood that Princess Virtue was a very smart lady.
Instead of talking implicitly, she put forward everything.
“Oh, really?” Princess Virtue smiled and looked at Gu Chaoyan with interest. “You do understand the point. But tell me, why are you not helping Princess Gu, when you are in the same family that can give you honor?”
Princess Virtue showed a smile on her face, but Gu Chaoyan could sense the lethal atmosphere coming out of her.
Gu Chaoyan understood that those who knew too much would not live for too long.
However, since Princess Virtue was asking, she was actually giving her the opportunity.
Gu Chaoyan smiled ironically, “Giving me honor?” Princess Gu is planning to marry me to the second son of the officer of the Ministry of Revenue. He is a dumb-headed person. That is an honor I would not want to get.”
“...”
“Please, tell me, why would I help someone like that?”
“...”
“She is now making me marry a dumb-headed person, what do you think she will do to me in the future?”
Oh?
Princess Virtue had no idea about this arranged marriage, but when she saw Gu Chaoyan, she noticed that Gu Chaoyan was full of ambition and she was not at all convinced.
“You know pretty well what you need.” Princess Virtue said and put down the teacup in your hands. “Since you trust me, I would like to give you a hand too. Don’t worry, I would not make you marry that man. Go and check on your Second Sister.”
Gu Chaoyan showed some joy on her face as she looked at Princess Virtue. “Thanks, Princess Virtue.”
Princess Virtue waved her hands.
The maid guided her out. As she came out of the hall, the maid showed a touch of courtesy.
As she came to Princess Gu, Gu Chaoyan could still hear Gu Ruxue’s screaming that made a lot of curses at her.
Seeing the scene, Madame Gu looked at Gu Chaoyan helplessly. “Chaoyan, you can go home with Madame Duke Changning and the Prince. Ruxue has to spend one night here.”
Gu Chaoyan frowned slightly.
She truly had no intention of staying at the palace, but she did not want to go home with Duke Changning’s Mansion’s wagon either.
Madame Duke Changning did not turn down the proposal, even if her face looked dark.
Lu Jiming was, however enthusiastic, “Chaoyan, let’s leave.”
“Thanks.” Gu Chaoyan replied calmly.
Lu Jiming’s face sank too, when he saw Gu Chaoyan’s cold expression.
Even Gu Ruxue was flattering him as she was standing in front of him but this ugly girl was giving him the cold shoulder? He left Biquan Palace with displeasure.
Lu Jiming said unhappily, “Ugly girl, Ruxue told me that Madame Gu is going to marry you to the stupid son of the officier of the Ministry of Revenue?”
“...”Gu Chaoyan did not reply.
“If you beg me, I would not mind letting you marry me with an equal amount of presents.” Lu Jiming said arrogantly. Now he was offering the deal that Gu Chaoyan could not possibly turn down, or so he a.s.sumed.
