Madam Yao stopped mid-sentence without saying further. But Ye was not taken aback by her words. Instead, she patted dearly on Madam Yao’s arm and said, “Princess Changning is a kind and gentle person.” Madam Yao understood her underlying meaning immediately. So she smiled and echoed, “You’re absolutely right. Princess Changning is the kindest.” Ye smiled faintly, while Madam Yao sensibly brought her daughter away to find a seat. When most of the attendees had arrived, Ye glanced at the empty main seat which was reserved for the Princess and then rested her hand on Aunt Zhang’s hand while speaking in an airy tone, “Alright, let’s go. It’s time to call the two girls out to meet the guests.” “Yes, Madam.” Aunt Zhang heeded the command at once and sent people to inform the Young Ladies. Both of the Young Ladies stayed a stone’s throw away from the banquet hall, so it did not take long for Gu Qiang and Gu Zhihua to come into everyon

She made sure that Aunt Zhang sent that garment to Gu Qiang.Why did it end up being worn by Gu Zhihua? Recalling Princess Changning’s words, Ye got even infuriated at Gu Qiang and was dying to rip her apart. “Yes. Didn’t you know that, Madam?” Gu Qiang smirked, eyes filled with amusement. “Normally, the Princess would only be unhappy when someone violated her peacock taboo. Do you know why she was extremely enraged today?” She leaned closer to Ye’s ear before continuing her sentence in a whisper, “Because yesterday, the Princess heard someone mentioning that servant from her memory. Thus, she became raving mad when she saw a peacock today.” “You! you!” Ye’s eyes were filled with disbelief and resentment. However, she could not vent her anger as the Princess’s maid was still waiting aside. She could only swallow all her displeasure and threatened, “We’ll see who will have the last laug

Especially Jiang Min, the eldest daughter of Jiang Family, refused to marry into Gu Family before and finally married a duke’s son after careful selection. Unexpectedly, he died young of illness. Her title as the wife of a duke’s son was gone, while her half-sister born of a concubine became a mistress. Jiang Min was extremely indignant and often pulled a face before. Afterwards, Jiang Rou died of illness. Unexpectedly, she got on well with Ye, the second wife of Jiang Rou’s husband, and had more contact with her than with her own sister.While Jiang Rou was at her last gasp, none of Jiang Family members came to visit her.When Gu Huaian was thrown out of Gu Family, none of Jiang Family members came, either.However, Jiang Min came with her family for a spring feast held by Ye. Gu Qiang sneered and her eyes were full of derision.Changning returned after changing her clothes. She was used to her brother’s French leave. Seeing Gu Qi

While speaking, Ye nudged nearby Jiang Min secretly. Then Jiang Min said drily, “Yes, I will continue doting on you.”But Gu Qiang just shook her head and stared at Ye compellingly, “Mother, what does my father think about it?”Before Ye answered, she kneeled down before Changning and bowed heavily, “Princess, my father hasn’t returned. It’s unfilial to prepare for marriage without the permission of both my parents. Besides, my elder brother hasn’t married. If I marry before him, I will be thought disrespectful for him. Princess, please help me out. Though I’m a girl, I don’t want to be a person unfilial to my parents and disrespectful for my siblings!”What she said was powerful, but Changning looked at Gu Qiang with complicated eyes. Gu Qiang’s remark seemed to bring her back to the past. Back then, though she was a princess, her Mother only loved her brother and hardly cared for her. Later, her Father ordered her to marry. She

“What?”Chui Xue was also shocked. But Gu Qiang’s warning was late. Soon Chui Xue smelt the fragrance, felt limp and fell to the ground.“Chui Xue!”Gu Qiang called her in a low voice. The fragrance inside the room became stronger and stronger. Though she held her breath in time, she breathed a little inevitably. She was still conscious but felt dizzy and limp. After walking two steps towards the door, she lost all her strength and collapsed on the ground.Knockout smoke…Gu Qiang hadn’t lost all her consciousness. She tried her best to nip her palm. After a while, the door of her room was opened with a creak by someone from the outside.Who?Who might it be?As the footsteps became louder, Gu Qiang, who was dizzy, tried to raise her head rigidly and looked at the approaching comer by the moonlight filtering through the door. He was of common appearance, but he was leering at her
