NovelEnglishChapter 491: Watch Out for The Third Lady
However, Madame Min was still seated there, so she should not mention this now. So Gu Xiuying had to tolerate the excitement inside her heart.
Nevertheless, since Madame Min was there, she was still hoping to express herself. If only Madame Min could look at her, she would stand out in the capital. It was totally right for Gu Xiuying to be at the banquet today, she thought inwardly.
So she reached out and grabbed the kettle, pouring tea for Madame Min with a smile and said, “Please have some tea, Madame Min!”
Madame Min looked at Gu Xiuying. She frowned slightly.
Gu Xiuying felt happy inwardly when she saw Madame Min looking at her. It seemed that her attempt turned out to be successful.
Gu Chaoyan had not expected that Gu Xiuying was so terribly-mannered. It totally embarrassed Madame Min.

Sword One stepped forward and passed the teacup to Madame Min, saying, “Sorry, Third Lady, don’t steal my work.”
Gu Xiuying threw a glare at Sword One. A servant was stealing her show! However, she did not dare to utter the anger and said, “I don’t dare to!”
Madame Min looked even more embarrassed.
She frowned – she had not expected that a lady from the Gu Family was so terribly-mannered. She was in a high position in the capital with many people flattering her. She could understand the flattering compliment, but this lady was so embarrassing.
She was a lady, and she should let the servant serve the tea. They were sharing the same table after all.
It was not a get-together, but a banquet of the Min Family. What would the bystanders think, when they saw the scene?
Madame Min, who was normally well-tempered, was now very displeased.
Gu Xiuying did not notice the embarrassment, but glared at Sword One instead.
Sword One was feeling rather helpless. What a terrible lady born of a concubine! She had never seen a lady stealing work from a servant!
At this moment, someone from the Min Mansion came.
And Madame Min was asked to leave the table.
Madame Min smiled at Gu Chaoyan. “Come to see me when you have time.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She got up and saw her off, then she went back to her seat.

She took a sip of tea and continued with her pastry.
Gu Chaoyan had already completed her mission when she saw Madame Min. So she decided to stay away from the banquet.
Gu Xiuying, however, went up to join the crowd.
Some other ladies joined them too. Some who did not have to suck up to the Min Family were seated where they were instead of moving.
Madame Deng came and spoke with Chaoyan. “Lady Chaoyan, you have to watch out for the Third Lady, she is setting you up!”
Gu Chaoyan was surprised. She did not expect that Madame Deng would come and remind her personally.
Well, Madame Deng must have stopped believing that rumor.
“Madame Deng…” Gu Chaoyan was about to express some gratitude, when Madame Deng looked around discreetly.
