Chapter 119
Hearing Madam Gu's question, Chen Fu wiped the dripping sweat, nervous and scared.
Madame Gu had lost her patience. She clicked the cane, urging him.
Chen Fu said uneasily, "Madame Gu, the guards of the Government Office said that Lord Huai was carrying the wounded Miss out of the office and they were heading towards…."
The news that Lord Huai was holding the girl was already shocking enough…
Madame Gu gasped.
Mrs. Gu and Gu Zhenkang could not believe it either.
Same went for Gu Ruxue – why, why the ugly girl!
"Impossible!" Gu Ruxue said with certainty. She still remembered how n.o.ble Lord Huai looked in the purple dress, whom even she did not dare to approach or dream about. That was a clear-minded, extraordinary man, how could he even hold that ugly girl? Gu Ruxue just could not believe a thing about the story.
Madame Gu glanced at Gu Ruxue with displeasure.
Instead of showing fear, Gu Ruxue straightened her neck, looking determined and proud.
Chen Fu continued. "They were heading towards Lord Huai's Mansion!"
"If you don't believe me, Madame Gu, I think that we can dispatch someone to Lord Huai's Mansion to check it out. She is the miss of the Gu Family, after all. It is reasonable to get someone to check." Chen Fu suggested.
Madame Gu already became overly joyous. Hearing what Chen Fu suggested, she nodded and
Chen Fu let out a sigh of agreement and then set about doing it.
Madame Gu looked joyous and her face flushed. With hands folded, she mumbled. "Oh G.o.d, please bless us, so that our family could have great achievement."
Gu Ruxue looked stricken and mumbled, "That can't be possible! How could that be possible!"
Hearing the words, Madame Gu was indeed displeased.
Indeed, she had thought Ruxue was an understanding girl with a broad and nice personality, what made her so narrow-minded?
She shook her head. "Mrs. Gu, take Ruxue home and stay silent! Something so enormous has happened to Duke Changning's Mansion, it seems that the marital arrangement has to be delayed."
Mrs. Gu's eyes blinked as she nodded, and then she took the absent-minded Gu Ruxue away.
In the hall of the front yard.
Gu Zhenkang and Madam Gu were the only two people remaining.
Faced with her son, Madame Gu could do nothing, but give him a lesson instead of blaming him seriously.
"Kang, I know that you don't like Chaoyan because of your deceased wife, but she is no longer the stupid girl from before. She has not only established her relations.h.i.+p with the w.a.n.g Family with medical skills, but also with Lord Huai! You have to treat her nicely in the future, so she won't give up on you as her father," Madame Gu said with a heavy tone.
Gu Zhenkang nodded.
"You are the master of the Gu Family, and you have to understand how to keep the family running properly. As long as your daughters, be it Ruxue or Chaoyan, can bring us profits for our family, we should make use of them. So, they are the same to you, and you have to use the one that brings you the profits well."
"If Chaoyan could be appreciated by Lord Huai, the Gu Mansion would be completely honored! That's a point you have to understand!" Madame Gu said with a persuasive tone.
Gu Zhenkang looked confused. "I got it, mom, but Mrs. Lin…"
