Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 1136: Striking 2

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Min Family was the real noble family in the capital, and they had officers working for the court for many generations. They even had the token of a death sentence pardon, which was a special authority for only this family. Although the Min Family had no power right now, Mrs. Min was still there, and the Min Family was still influential like before.

And the Min Family was indeed a family that stuck to rules.

There was a screen separating the women and men at the banquet, and the master of the Min Family would receive guests at the gate whenever a banquet took place. Therefore, the rules at the Min Family were very strict.

This was Madame Min’s birthday banquet, so the leading role should be Madame Min.

However, at the moment, Madame Min was seated alone with no one greeting her, yet the Crown Prince Consort and the Crown Prince became the leading roles instead.

That was something that had never happened before. At every birthday banquet of some elderly people, the Crown Prince and lords would stick to the rules rather than take the opportunity of making the birthday banquet about themselves.

The Min Family was really displeased by how the Crown Prince was acting.

They were the most influential family in the capital and they did not want to be treated in this way.

Especially the master of the Min Family. He was watching the scene with a serious look on his face.

However, Zhou Huailing and Gu Ruxue did not even notice that it was inappropriate.

Especially Gu Ruxue. When she was surrounded by the madames and ladies, she showed a smile as she glanced at Gu Chaoyan. “Why did you arrive so late, Lady Chaoyan?”

“Lord Huai’s Mansion is a bit far from the Min Family, so I spent some more time on the way here.” Gu Chaoyan answered briefly.

Gu Ruxue smiled awkwardly. She was very displeased… but she had no idea how to answer her.

She asked the question because she wanted to test what mood Gu Chaoyan was in right now, but she didn’t expect her answer.

Well…

She was just saying that the new Crown Prince’s Mansion used to be Lord Huai’s Mansion.

Gu Ruxue was not that stupid, and she knew that she could not say a thing against that.

It was a birthday banquet, so if she mentioned that the Crown Prince’s Mansion was built upon Lord Huai’s Mansion, people would think that the Crown Prince was suppressing Lord Huai, which was going to ruin the Crown Prince’s reputation, if the madames and ladies heard about it.

So she said nothing more about that.

She thought of how her mother taught her, then she snorted and threw a displeased look at Gu Chaoyan before she continued with her tea.

She was in a good mood after all, when she saw how those arrogant madames and ladies were flattering her like this.

Gu Chaoyan was a businesswoman’s daughter, so she would never receive such treatment in her life.

Gu Ruxue was thinking this inside her heart.

As they were thinking to themselves Mrs. Min showed up.

Mrs. Min did not live in the mansion, but at her own house.

No one would dare say a thing about her late arrival.

Gu Ruxue threw a look at Mrs. Min and then at the vacant seat next to her, she smiled. “Mrs. Min, please have a seat here with me.”
