How can that lowly Erya live better than me No, it shouldnt be like this!

Erya should be leading a worse life than me!

Li Zhaodi didnt deliberately lower her voice when she spoke to Zeng Ya. Everyone nearby heard her clearly.

Gu Yanfei was the focus of everyones attention today. For a moment, more and more gazes surged toward her. Everyones expressions were filled with surprise.

Second Lady Gu has already gotten engaged in Huaibei?!

Is this servant her sister?

How is this possible!

Everyone found it unbelievable. Their gazes became subtle and complicated, as if they were looking at Gu Yanfei with spikes.

If all of this was true, then the fact that the Emperor personally presided over Gu Yanfeis coming-of-age ceremony today would become a joke!

No matter how happy the Emperor was today, he would probably be furious when he found out the truth!

Everyone was so shocked that they couldnt speak for a long time. The lake was silent for a moment. Even the wind seemed to have stopped, and the surroundings were strangely quiet.

Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and looked back and forth between Li Zhaodi and Zeng Ya calmly. The corners of her lips even curled up into a faint smile.

Zeng Ya glared at Gu Yanfei.

She thought that she would see shock and embarra.s.sment on the other partys face. However, Gu Yanfei was smiling instead. There was even a hint of interest in her smile.

Which familys servant is spouting nonsense here? Gu Yunzhens gentle voice broke the short silence.

Gu Yunzhen picked up her skirt and walked over in a hurry. Her breathing was a little hurried because of her jogging, but her eyes were exceptionally bright and determined.

Her beautiful face was filled with anger. Her gaze landed on Li Zhaodis face as she tried to find something similar to Gu Yunrongs facial features.

Although her heart was a mess, Gu Yunzhen didnt show it on her face. She scolded Li Zhaodi righteously, What is this place and who arc you? Youve really eaten a bears heart and a leopards gall. How dare you cry and spout nonsense here? Youre simply unruly and rude!

Gu Yunzhens words werent only scolding Li Zhaodi, but also the Zeng family.

Unlike Wei Jiaoniang and the others, Gu Yunzhens tone was very gentle, refined, and restrained. However, she didnt show Zeng Ya any mercy.

Which family is so unruly to bring such a rude and tactless servant to the imperial palace? Arent you afraid of being disrespectful?! Gu Yunzhen asked, but her gaze landed accurately on Zeng Yas face.

Zeng Ya was so angry that a few veins appeared on her forehead.

If she directly said that Li Zhaodi was a servant of her family, it would be equivalent to admitting that their Zeng family was unruly!

Li Zhaodis actions today were indeed inappropriate. If the servants of other families had dared to speak so arrogantly in front of so many n.o.bles, they would have long been beaten up by the main family. In their Zeng family, such servants would only be dragged down and beaten to death in a straw mat. Their corpses would be hastily wrapped and thrown into the ma.s.s grave.

Gu Yunzhen had put herself on the line with just a few words. What the servant had done also represented the face of the main family. If she didnt express anything today, others would question the Zeng familys etiquette in the future.

Li Zhaodi was naturally not as important as the Zeng family!

Zhaodi, dont talk nonsense! Zeng Yas voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. The line of her jaw was tense. Kneel!

There was a hint of sternness in her tone and a cold glint in her eyes.

Li Zhaodi shrank back and bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled.

She couldnt help but look around at everyone timidly. The young masters and ladies in luxurious clothes around her all looked at her with a high up in the air gaze, filled with disdain and contempt.

There was no trace of sympathy or pity, and no one would plead for her.

Li Zhaodis gaze finally landed on Gu Yanfeis face. She placed her last hope on her.

However, Gu Yanfei only looked at her quietly. Her eyes were as indifferent as if she was looking at a stranger.

Li Zhaodi felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart. She picked up her skirt and knelt down with extreme difficulty.

This wasnt the first time she had knelt. With her status, she had knelt countless times in the past. Kneeling was nothing, but she had never imagined that kneeling today would be so difficult.

It made her feel that she wasnt kneeling to Zeng Ya, but to Gu Yanfei..
