Chapter 384: Report
At this time, Lord Ling walked in with his guards, only to see Gu Ruxue and Gu Chaoyan facing each other. He asked what was going on.
Gu Chaoyan greeted Lord Ling and then left.
Seeing Gu Chaoyan’s cold behavior, Gu Ruxue showed a face of helplessness, stomped on her feet and said, “Look at her, Lord!”
“...”
“I am just asking her what she was doing outside the mansion, and she even bellowed at me and told me to piss off! We are sisters, how can she treat me like this?!” Gu Ruxue looked wronged as if she cared a lot about her sister. She stared at Lord Ling pitifully.
After confirming that she was the Phoenix Girl, Lord Ling started to show extra patience towards her. Seeing how she behaved, he caressed her face and said, “Don’t worry, let’s just ignore her. My father would not like a terrible-behaving person like her, you are the well-educated one.” Lord Ling snapped at Gu Chaoyan.
Lord Ling used to think that Gu Chaoyan was someone special, but things were different. Since she was not the Phoenix Girl, she was nothing in her eyes. That was why he never said anything good about her.
Hearing what Lord Ling said, Gu Ruxue smiled and had a dancing expression on her face. She felt that she was totally loved. She knew that the Lord liked her and only had eyes for her.
She asked Lord Ling to take a seat with her in the yard, poured him the tea yet still wore a very unhappy expression on her face.
She even looked absent-minded when Lord Ling was speaking with her.
Lord Ling found that something was wrong, so he asked gently, “What is it? In a bad mood? Then let’s take a walk outside the mansion.”
Gu Ruxue shook her head. She opened her lips just to say something, but did not dare to utter a word.
Lord Ling now realized that something wrong was going on, so he asked urgently, “Anything bothering you? Still displeased by what happened just now? If you are still unhappy, I will talk with Lord Huai and ask Gu Chaoyan to apologize to you, how could she behave like this... she is your sister!”
Gu Ruxue was glad that Lord Ling was defending her, but what mattered was something else. Gu Chaoyan was annyong, but she had her own method to deal with this b**ch, and she did not have to bother the Lord for the trouble at all.
She shook her head, bit her lips and said timidly, “Lord, I was just worried about her, not giving her the blame, but I am unhappy because...”
“...”
“Because of the dowries! Sister is marrying Lord Huai and thanks to her mother who was born in a business family, she has a lot of dowries, but I am just the daughter of a minor officer, so the dowries would look a bit... thin.”
“...”
“I am just worried... that it would look bad for you, Lord, then that would upset me.”
Lord Ling patted his head – he even failed to notice this point. He took hold of Gu Ruxue’s hands. “Don’t worry, I will deal with the dowries and make you glorious. I am already feeling sorry to have arranged the wedding in such a hurry, so I will never make you feel inferior.”
“Thank you so much, Lord!” Gu Ruxue said with a sweet smile.
Lord Ling was glad to see this. He smiled brightly and looked satisfied.
Gu Ruxue looked up and asked boldly what she had hesitated to say. “Lord, if you are marrying me in such a manner, am I only marrying you as a concubine?”
