Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 90: Slap

No one dared to make Gu Chaoyan come late.

The visit to the imperial court was a very magnificent thing for the Gu Mansion, and no one dared to play tricks at this time. Even Madame Gu was wearing a very serious expression on her face. She got everything ready – the maids, the wagons and many others, as if they were facing a heavy battle.

Gu Ruxue and her mother shared the same wagon.

Madame Gu rode alone.

So Gu Chaoyan and Gu Xiuying ended up being in the same wagon.

Gu Xiuying had never disliked Gu Chaoyan this much. This hideous girl had lost so much weight and she was not as tanned as before! And Gu Chaoyan was wearing the clothes Mrs. Gu gave her! The clothes were bought from South by the housekeeper at the order of Madame Gu last year. She knew that the material was excellent! Look at herself! She was wearing her best clothes, yet those were bought from a store in the city and they were made with ordinary material.

Why?

So she might look slightly prettier now, yet she was not as pretty as she was! Why didn’t Madam Gu spare any concern for her?

On the way there, Gu Xiuying kept thinking about those ideas. She was glaring at Gu Chaoyan all the time.

Gu Chaoyan shrugged. Gu Xiuying should feel lucky that Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue did not set her up. Why did she still feel jealous of her clothes!?

She shook her head.

“How ugly!” Gu Xiuying mumbled, not daring to utter a loud sound.

“What did you say?”Gu Chaoyan threw a cold look at her.

Gu Xiuying did not utter a word. This ugly seemed to get increasingly scary as if she were about to slap her right on the face.

She would not fear this ugly woman if they had not been on the visit to the imperial court.

Gu Xiuying showed an equally intimidating air, but Gu Chaoyan did not care about her any more, because Gu Chaoyan realized that the wagon had stopped.

When the wagon stopped, it meant that they were already at the gate of the court.

Gu Chaoyan felt a bit nervous too. After all, it was the imperial court. People kept saying that the imperial court was a very dangerous place, and she wondered what she was about to face in the imperial court of the Saint Divine Land.

However, Gu Chaoyan’s nerves soon went away.

The feeling was already gone.

She saw Qing who had red cheeks not far away.

So, she was slapped in the wagon.

Qing was her only maid. She was sharing the same wagon with either Gu Ruxue or Gu Xiuying’s maids. The reason why they dared to hit Qing was because they did not think that anyone would care about this tiny matter on this important day.

However, Qing was Gu Chaoyan’s maid, and she was not going to let the incident be buried.

Gu Chaoyan pulled over Qing and asked. “Who hit you?”

Qing was unwilling to say a thing, because she did not want Gu Chaoyan to defend her at this moment.

She tugged Gu Chaoyan’s sleeves, telling her to forget about it.

“Qing, let me ask you one more time. Who hit you?” Gu Chaoyan raised her voice.

Gu Ruxue heard the words. She pursed her lips and said nonchalantly, “She is just a maid, we don’t have to talk about this right at the gate of the court!”

The guards threw a look at Gu Ruxue and felt what she said was a bit strange, but they could not say a thing. They were ladies, after all.

“Just a maid? Gu Ruxue, you don’t think your maids are important, okay. But my maid is a human being too, and she should not just get hit for no reason!” Then she looked at Qing. “Who did this?”

Qing pointed at the two girls next to Gu Ruxue.

Gu Ruxue snorted. “So what, are you going to hit my maids back?”
