Chapter 85: Skills for Show

“All the ladies attending the banquet held by Princess Gu will need to show some skills. What else have you picked up during the past few years, apart from being mental.” Gu Xiuying followed up Gu Ruxue and interrogated.


She showed disdain in her eyes. “I would very much like to see if you are going there or not. We don’t want to be affected in marriage because of you. You have humiliated us so badly already, that we from the Gu Family were laughed at for ten years in the capital. That was why Dad was never promoted in rank!”


Gu Xiuying just could not help but keep hoping that Gu Chaoyan would not go there.


Among all the ladies of the Gu Family, Gu Ruxue had been engaged with Prince, whilst Gu Caiqin was too young to go anywhere. However, Gu Xiuying never expected that an ugly woman like Gu Chaoyan would ever manage to marry anyone. So she was going to be the one that needed a suitor.


She was the concubine’s daughter, so Madame Gu would not care about her at all. So she expected to show off a little in the court to get an excellent suitor. However, this hideous woman was coming along too!


That was not what Gu Xiuying liked.


“Mom, I don’t think that you should take this hideous woman with us!” Hearing Gu Xiuying’s words, Gu Zhenkang agreed as well. Now they were going to have the engagement with Duke Changning, and he had the possibility of going upwards. So this jinxed lady should not make the situation worse.


Well... That was what Madame Gu was worried about too, but... but for some reason, Princess Gu stressed that Gu Chaoyan should be attending the banquet.


Seeing Madam Gu’s hesitation, Gu Ruxue got worried too. She had tried to irritate Chaoyan, but not really stopped her from attending. After all...


Gu Ruxue said after thinking for a while. “Dad, Madame Wang is attending the banquet too, so it would be best if Sister is with us, but...” As she was talking, Gu Ruxue looked at Gu Chaoyan with a commanding view. “But... you better understand what you should do and what you should not do. Or I won’t be able to defend you, even if I become the Princess Consort in Duke Changning’s Mansion in the future.”


Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Ruxue coldly. It seemed that Gu Ruxue wished very much to have her there.


That made her involuntarily try to remember one trip Gu Chaoyan took to the court with the Gu Family in her childhood. At that time, Gu Chaoyan was not ugly, tanned or chubby, but a very lovely doll. Because of that, Madame Gu liked bringing her into the court.


However, that was also when Gu Chaoyan’s nightmare started.


Gu Ruxue and Gu Chaoyan both had to start to perform dances, but when Gu Chaoyan was dancing, her clothes were ripped open. A young girl like her stomped upon her own hem and got tripped over, then her clothes were off.


Those children from court and the officers started to laugh at her at the sight of the scene.


After that, Gu Chaoyan did not dare to step out of the Qiong Pavilion and kept herself cringed inside.


Then she turned uglier and chubbier in the Qiong Pavilion, and even Madame Gu was not bothered to take one more look at her.


At that time... how did the clothes get ripped open?


She had never thought about this before as a little girl. The whole Gu Family was soaked in humiliation so no one sought for the real reason, but today...


Gu Ruxue hoped that she could get into the court. And Gu Chaoyan could not help but think about this suggestion.


Could Gu Ruxue and her mother have done something about her clothes years back, and were they planning to do something this time again?


However, no matter what it would be, Gu Chaoyan was not afraid of those plans. She was going to pay them back severely!


With her eyes upon Gu Ruxue, Gu Chaoyan showed a brief smile.
