NovelEnglishChapter 219: A Strike Back 1
She took a sip of tea.
Gu Chaoyan felt that something was missing. She glanced at Qing. “Qing, take out the cake, so we can have a wonderful afternoon tea.”
Qing was chuckling inwardly.
She nodded, then went to take out the cakes.
Standing next to them, Lianxiang got so furious. How dare this ugly girl refuse to go into the court? It was a great opportunity for them to show off, but this ugly girl did not cherish this chance! If not for the sake of the Second Lady, she would never be able to visit the court in her life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wished to snap, but she could not do so, because her Madame and her lady had other arrangements for her this time. If she failed to get her to follow her, she would be done for!
She did not want to bow for this ugly girl so she said with a very weird tone, “Elder Miss, it seems that you won’t be able to visit the court ever in your life if not for the Second Lady. You are ruining Second Lady’s kindness!”
However, what Lianxiang did not understand was that this ugly she was snapping at was going to take the seat of the Queen and watch over the whole world in front of her. That was a story to be talked about later.
Gu Chaoyan sipped the tea calmly, took a bite of the cake and said, “I understand her kindness. That’s why I would cause her trouble by visiting the court!”
She did not have any intention of rising. She had no intention of visiting the court. She might as well take a day off at her own Qiong Pavilion.
Also, Gu Ruxue had made her maid ask for her, so she knew that Gu Ruxue and Mrs. Gu had to bring her there, seeing Lianxiang’s panicking look on her face. Maybe... Maybe they were trying to set her up.
They were setting her up, but they were still pretending as if they were offering her a favor.
Gu Chaoyan started to take a bite of the cake at a slow pace.
Sword One almost burst into laughter. No wonder her miss stopped her from doing anything.
She was pissing this maid off by just talking! She had to learn some skills from her!
Lianxiang stomped her feet. Time ticked by. She would get blamed if she failed to finish her mission in time.
Lianxiang got so annoyed seeing Gu Chaoyan’s calm face. Anxiously, she kept wringing her handkerchief. “Elder Miss, it is my mistake! Madam Gu says that you have to go there.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe sounded as if she were apologizing, but she showed no look of apology.
Gu Chaoyan asked with disbelief on her face. “Didn’t you say that it is your Second Lady’s kindness? Why is Madame Gu involved? You are lying to me right?”
Lianxiang did not expect that this ugly girl was still so harsh when she bowed to her in such a low manner. Fury covered her whole face, but she had no other choice but to follow her Second Lady’s order. The Second Lady stressed that the time was very stressful, and what she intended to do was to show off her pride. However, this ugly girl was so annoying!
With teeth clenched, she said, “I am sorry.”
“Sorry?” Gu Chaoyan sneered. “You aren’t sorry. You know what punishment you will get when you are lying to your mistress. If you don’t know about it, I will ask Sword One to do something, or maybe I can tell Madame Gu and ask her to administer the punishment.”
As Madame Gu was mentioned, Lianxiang did not dare to do anything more. She had to slap herself several times.
Gu Chaoyan got satisfied when she saw the reddened face of hers. She then got up and went to the front yard.
As they reached the front yard, Gu Ruxue spotted Lianxiang’s wound. “What happened?”
