When Mada Gu was driven away by Gu Zhenkang, both Gu Yunhe and Mrs. Gu beca less annoyed. One had already sat down and asked the maid to put away the stuff in front of him, whilst the other was drinking tea.
So when the Third Concubine was asking about Ruxue’s adulthood ceremony, Mrs. Gu threw a pretentiously caring look at her. “Ruxue did ntion this on her trip back ho the other day. She is becoming an adult soon. She is married to a Lord and now she is the Equal Princess Consort, so the ceremony is going to be trendous.”
As she was speaking, Mrs. Gu threw a look at the Third Concubine. “Why do you care?”
Ruxue was her daughter, and it should be she who was in charge of this matter, rather than the Third Concubine.
Mrs. Gu threw a disdainful look at the Third Concubine.
Third Concubine, on the other hand, did not show any anger as she saw the exposed look of disdain on Mrs. Gu’s face.
She said with a flattering tone, “Ruxue needs a host, assistant and witness for her ceremony. I am just thinking that maybe Xiuying can be an assistant for Ruxue since they are sisters. They are of the sa age and they are good sisters.”
“…”
“What do you think?” Third Concubine asked with a flattering tone.
She did not mind if Mrs. Gu looked down at her, but Xiuying was her only daughter and what she had hoped was that Xiuying could marry soone great.
Only in this way would she be able to have a better life herself and get respected at the mansion.
Gu Ruxue was married to Lord Ling, so there should be many noble people who were present on that day.
She was thinking that Xiuying could marry soone with a proper position, who would be willing to marry Xiuying just to get close to Lord Ling.
If Mrs. Gu needed Xiuying for help, that would work too. Xiuying was going to support Ruxue no matter what.
As she was thinking about this, Third Concubine asked Mrs. Gu, thinking that she would approve of the request. Mrs. Gu was a smart lady after all.
Hearing what she said Mrs. Gu snorted. She threw a disdainful look at the Third Concubine.
This Third Concubine was pretty good at taking opportunities. No wonder she was able to give birth to a child. Luckily, the child was a daughter, not a son, or she would need to make more efforts to deal with potential issues.
Now she was trying to make use of Ruxue so her daughter could get a wonderful marriage, but Mrs. Gu was not going to approve of that.
Mrs. Gu was about to say sothing when Gu Zhenkang added with a smile. “That sounds nice. Ruxue does need people like this, and Xiuying is her sister, then maybe she can get a great suitor for the ceremony, which will be beneficial for the Gu Mansion as well. Mrs. Gu, speak with Ruxue about this.”
Hearing what Gu Zhenkang said, Mrs. Gu was even less pleased. Could she really do that? Gu Xiuying was not at all qualified to beco Ruxue’s assistant.
Mrs. Gu said proudly, “It is not , but if you have spoken about it earlier, then it might work. However, right now, Ruxue has ntioned that County Princess Anxi is going to be the assistant, so Xiuying is not at all qualified compared to County Princess Anxi right?”
“Then she can be the witness, that would work too!” The Third Concubine beca even more motivated after hearing the na of County Princess Anxi.
