“Someone who is not as much of a sc.u.mbag as he is!” Gu Chaoyan snapped out directly, shutting Sword One up.

She understood that Sword One was extremely annoyed.

Gu Ruxue and the whole Gu Family never expected her to marry anyone excellent. They thought that when Prince of Duke Changning was willing to marry her, she should show grat.i.tude, but… Gu Chaoyan did not intend to reveal her relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Huaijin to the public yet.

She had her own reasons.

Zhou Huaijin treated her so nicely, so she should not slow him down. At least, she had to get herself enrolled into Saint College with her own abilities first. At least, she needed to remove the rumor that Mrs. Gu used to spread around, the one that spoke of her shoplifting.

At that time, Gu Chaoyan would not mind showing off her relations.h.i.+p. However, now was not the time.

Gu Ruxue sneered at Gu Chaoyan and Sword One. She knew that they could not come up with anyone excellent. No one was willing to marry this ugly girl.

Well, that was too true. It would be strange if someone was willing to marry her.

“Don't be sad, Sister. When I marry Lord Ling in the future, I don't mind seeking for a suitor for you if I have time. Some young master might be interested in marrying you by order of Lord Ling.” Gu Ruxue smiled.

Gu Chaoyan smiled coldly.

Gu Ruxue stood up and started to walk away. “Great that you are aware of who you are, Sis. I was here to console you, fearing that you would be sad about not marrying Prince, but it seems that I don't have to do so.”

She had achieved her purpose, so she left this broken Qiong Pavilion, which she disliked, directly.

She hated the Qiong Pavilion and thought it was a dirty hole, but it was a dirty hole that matched this ugly girl well.

Before she left, she threw a look at Gu Chaoyan and felt displeased.

This ugly girl was not only ugly but also stupid. She might not even be aware of how n.o.ble Lord Ling was, otherwise she would have shown some jealousy. But it was fine, when she saw the wedding, she would get extremely jealous.

Gu Chaoyan sneezed, and mumbled inwardly. “Gu Ruxue can't be nagging about me still now when she is gone, can she?”

Sword One was mumbing too, “Miss, why did you stop me? That Second Lady is so d.a.m.n annoying! Lord Ling might like her, so what? Lord Ling is not as high in rank as our Lord, and he has his own Princess Consort already! But if you marry our Lord, you will be the most n.o.ble Princess Consort!”

Sword One was extremely angry. Her cheeks were bloated, and she looked rather unhappy. She was extremely p.i.s.sed.

She had been with Gu Chaoyan for a long time and started to consider her more as a friend than a miss. So she got rather p.i.s.sed by the unfairness Gu Chaoyan received.

Gu Chaoyan waved her hands. “There is no hurry to do so.”

“…”

“We are going to have every opportunity to slap her right on the face, but it is not yet the time.”

“…”

“Also, it will be very bad for Lord Huai, if I am marrying him now, since I don't have a very good reputation,” Gu Chaoyan said with a laugh.

At this moment, a crispy and gentle voice arose from not far away. “Why is it bad for me?”

Gu Chaoyan turned around and saw a silhouette in front her.

Zhou Huaijin was still dressed in a purple robe, simple and straightforward. He looked very fresh as he looked at Gu Chaoyan with a smile.

“I have got something to talk with you, so it's good that you are here,” Gu Chaoyan said.
