103: Her Trick!

Her Trick!

She did look pretty.0

It was obvious that during the past few years, Gu Ruxue did spend a lot of effort in building herself up.

Seeing Gu Ruxue's performance, Madame Gu nodded in satisfaction. Madame Duke Changning and Lu Jiming who were not faraway nodded as well.

Gu Chaoyan took a few sips of the tea, then she looked at the girl on the stage.

After a few moments, Gu Ruxue noticed something was going on. She felt that her clothes were slipping away. She had assumed that it was just an illusion, until she felt cool air coming towards her shoulders. It was at that moment did she realize that something wrong was happening!

She looked at the shoulders subconsciously, and got startled!

The garment on her shoulders started to crack open.

What happened?!

It should have been Gu Chaoyan's clothes that had this problem?

Not hers!

Did she make a mistake somehow?

Gu Ruxue was so shocked that she did not pay attention to her moves, which gradually turned horrible. What was more, she did not dare to make any big moves, fearing that the whole dress would fall off and her innocence would be ruined!

Gu Ruxue sweated out of anxiety, but she did not dare to stop either. Nor did she dare to make any big moves. So she was dancing like a stupid person on the stage.

The audience started to laugh at Gu Ruxue's moves, not caring a thing about her ridiculous performance.

"What is going on?!" Madam Gu's face sank.

Madame Duke Changning found it very embarrassing as well. She threw a glare at Madame Gu.

Madame Gu could not stand it any more, but hurried to the stage, asking Gu Ruxue to get off.

Gu Chaoyan had to follow as the eldest miss of the family. As she passed Lu Jiming, she noticed the disdain on Lu Jiming's face. He did not even want to take one more look at the girl on the stage.

Gu Chaoyan could not help but laugh. So this was how the man Gu Ruxue tried so hard to get behaved? She shook her head.

She was about to follow, when an arm stopped her.

Gu Chaoyan followed the direction of the arm and saw Princess Xunyang's ironic face. "You did this, didn't you?"

Gu Chaoyan nodded without any denial.

That startled Princess Xunyang. She had witnessed numerous tricks and conspiracies as a resident in the imperial court, but she had never met anyone who had left such a loophole after she or he committed a trick, nor had she ever met anyone who admitted the wrong doings so directly.

How Gu Chaoyan admitted her fault made her even less annoying than ever.

"It could have been me who was humiliated on the stage." Gu Chaoyan said to Princess Xunyang with a pair of clear eyes. "But I was smart enough to find out. I am someone who takes revenge, so anyone who dares to set me up would need to bear the same price. Or… well, I have shown her some mercy." Gu Chaoyan said as she watched Gu Ruxue's ridiculous performance.

After all…

Gu Ruxue's plan was to make her lose her innocence completely. On the other hand, she was just causing her panic and anxiety.

Instead of asking anything more, Princess Xunyang threw a cold look at Gu Chaoyan and left.

Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief. She was performing very calmly, but it was a princess standing right in front of her. If she had guessed the wrong direction of this princess, she would have lost her life.

She regained her composure and then walked towards Gu Ruxue.

The moment Gu Ruxue saw Gu Chaoyan, she pointed at her and screamed with excitement, "It must be this ugly girl who has set me up! Madame Gu, mother, you have to get justice for me!"
