Seen Through

"No." Gu Chaoyan answered sharply without hesitation.0

"Princess Yunxi offered to be my witness and that is because she is kind enough to take me as a friend. Aunt, you are telling me to frame Princess Yunxi!" Gu Chaoyan glared back at Mrs. Lin. "If you insist on this point, I will have to drive you out of the Gu Mansion."

What?

Hearing what Gu Chaoyan said Mrs. Lin got rather annoyed.

Driving her out of the mansion?

"You!" Mrs. Lin looked furious.

She was about to say something, when some people came in their direction.

Gu Chaoyan did not recognize them, but judging from the way they were dressed, she knew that they were from a very grand family.

Gu Chaoyan was about to say something…

When the lady said, "I did not have the intention of letting Yunxi come to such a mansion to be your witness, but now I realize why she is so willing to, Lady Chaoyan! You are worth being Yunxi's friend!"

Hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan guessed that it was Princess Consort Zuo, namely Princess Yunxi's mother.

So she heard the conversation.

Gu Chaoyansaid with guilt. "Greetings, Princess Consort Zuo, I am sorry to have let Yunxi come to such a demeaned place, but don't worry, I won't allow anything bad to happen to her."

Princess Consort Zuo smiled with satisfaction. Then she turned to Mrs. Lin with a pair of sharp eyes.

Prince Zuo's Mansion was a family that already ran into people like Mrs. Lin. But Prince Zuo's Mansion was not an easy going place. Anyone who had the intention of setting up Yunxi would have to pay.

However, today was different.

Princess Consort Zuo glared at Mrs. Lin and said, "You have to be grateful for being Lady Chaoyan's aunt, or I would crush you like ants."

Mrs. Lin turned pale.

It was such a private matter which should only be discussed in private, but she had not expected that Princess Consort Zuo would be here and would overhear the conversation. She completely regretted that she had not had the conversation somewhere more hidden so that no one around would run into their conversation.

Mrs. Lin did not dare to say a thing and just cringed in the corner.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head. She even thought of how grandfather gave up the social rank as the imperial businessman, since he was too old to take care of the Lin Family. That was why he made uncle do the job, which was definitely giving him a great deal of trouble. Her uncle was not a very decisive person and would always get misled by someone, like Mrs. Lin.

They were just gathering trouble for themselves when they decided to become an imperial business family.

When the Lin Family were only involved with their family properties, nothing happened. However, now that they ran into people like Princesses, something serious happened.

So Gu Chaoyan of course had to spare some extra thoughts.

When they walked into the hall, Princess Consort Zuo took the lead.

Princess Yunxi got excited at the sight of her mother. "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Princess Consort Zuo looked at her with adoration, but didn't ention anything about what just happened.

Lin Jiaxing also noticed the pale-looking Mrs. Lin and then asked, "What is wrong? You look horrible."

Mrs. Lin shook her head. She did not dare to admit that she had offended Prince Zuo's Mansion!

The Princess Consort Zuo almost had the urge to kill her.

Well… If Princess Consort Zuo really decided to have her killed, it would just be a very easy matter.

"Nothing." Mrs. Lin answered unwillingly. Then they were arranged to leave the spot.

And then began Gu Chaoyan's Adulthood Ceremony.

The Adulthood Ceremony was not a very complicated process.

Madame Min brought Gu Chaoyan to get changed into the uniform.
