Chapter 91: Prince of the Duke Changning

Gu Ruxue was so certain that Gu Chaoyan would not dare to behave rudely in front of the gate that she looked extremely arrogant.

However, the next second, Gu Chaoyan approached the two maids and slapped them several times on the face. She was so fast that before Gu Ruxue realized what happened, her maids’ cheeks already swelled up. They covered their own faces, not daring to make a sound. They were at the gate of the imperial court – any more sound would get them killed or severely scolded by Madame Gu.

“You!” Gu Ruxue pointed at Gu Chaoyan in disbelief. “How dare you hit them!”

She was about to step forward to slap Gu Chaoyan, when Gu Chaoyan also raised her hands without fear.

Madame Gu noticed the chaos and came to them. “What happened?”

Gu Chaoyan noticed that next to Madame Gu, there was one eunuch who came to pick them up. The Gu Family was low in social status, and it was not that easy to enter the court.

“Madame Gu, Sister just hit two of my maids!” Gu Ruxue said straightforwardly.

Hearing these words Madame Gu looked annoyed. She glared at Gu Chaoyan. “Is that true?”

The eunuch behind Madame Gu looked at Gu Chaoyan with displeasure.

She just hit the maids, which made the eunuch think that this Miss liked hitting servants. That was why he had a bad impression of her.

“It is true.” Gu Chaoyan replied straightforwardly, “Those two maids punished Qing when I was not with her. I was just paying back what they deserved. Qing behaved totally properly, and even if she ever made a mistake, it should have been I who punished her. How dare these two maids punished her without my order. I was worried that these two maids would cause some trouble in the court, so I punished them directly. You can blame me if you want to, Madame Gu.” Gu Chaoyan said frankly.

Madame Gu had no idea how to vent her anger, but the eunuch behind her looked at Gu Chaoyan with a different look on his face.

“Alright, let’s just get in. Anyone who dares to make trouble inside the court will be punished seriously by the family law!” Madame Gu snapped seriously.

Then she led them in.

As Gu Chaoyan pa.s.sed by the gate, she saw a guard thumbing up for her.

That made Gu Chaoyan feel strange.

What a funny guard!

As they came to the court, what had happened just now was simply not worth mentioning.

Inside the magnificent imperial court, everyone had their head lowered out of extreme courtersey.

It was very quiet as they walked in.

Soon Gu Ruxue broke the silence. She looked at Duke Changning’s wife and her son Lu Jiming not far away in surprise. ” Madame Duke Changning, Prince, what are you doing here?”

Seeing Gu Ruxue, Madame Duke Changning smiled, but as she saw Gu Chaoyan, Madame Duke Changning’s smile froze. “Now everyone is allowed to enter the imperial court?” Then she looked at Madame Gu. “Madame Gu, don’t you ever forget what happened before. Princess Gu is not going to have any peaceful time, if any trouble arises for her here.”

Madame Duke Changning was not as young as Madame Gu, but she did not care about the generation difference and behaved arrogantly.

Madame Gu was displeased, but she did not show anything. “We are here anyway.” It was a very vague reply, though she was quite worried inwardly as well.

However, Lu Jiming behaved differently now. He did not criticize Gu Chaoyan sarcastically as he saw her.

How unexpected! He found something was different about Gu Chaoyan when they had not seen each other for a long time.
