Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 1728

1728 New Queen 2

Indeed, that was the case…

Gu Ruxue had cast him aside, turning him into a laughingstock among the n.o.ble families. For the past two years, he had been confined within the walls of Duke Changning’s Mansion, living like a timid coward. He lacked the courage to venture outside, living a life worse than that of animals.

But…

None of that mattered.

Once upon a time, Gu Ruxue had fawned over him, attempting to secure a marriage alliance.

His father’s lack of prestige had led him down this path.

But none of that mattered.

She had once been the woman he admired, the one who had tried to win his favor.

If she were to become the new Queen, it meant that he had once possessed a glorious past, having caught the attention of the woman he had once admired.

And she had even tried to win his favor!

That was enough for him.

With unwavering confidence, Lu Jiming asked in an arrogant manner.

The housekeeper snorted.

The Second Lady of the Gu Family?

This prince had clearly been confined indoors for far too long to grasp the realities unfolding in the capital.

“The Second Lady of the Gu Family has nearly lost her mind after being divorced by the Crown Prince. She is throwing tantrums in the abandoned Gu Mansion! She is in no way qualified to become the new Queen,” the disdainful housekeeper remarked, clearly harboring a dislike for the Second Lady of the Gu Family.

“Impossible!” Lu Jiming exclaimed, his confident expression fading as skepticism crept in.

He began to question the validity of his a.s.sumptions.

Soon enough, he realized that the housekeeper had no reason to deceive him.

He could simply inquire with others and receive the correct information.

Had Gu Ruxue truly fallen into such a pitiable state?

Who could the new Queen be, then?

Lu Jiming contemplated the n.o.ble ladies, running through the possibilities in his mind.

“Could it be the Elder Miss of the Chu Family? General Liu’s only daughter, married to Lord Ling… Perhaps it is one of them?” he asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

Observing his bewildered expression, the housekeeper understood his confusion.

Then, a smile spread across the housekeeper’s face.

He was well aware of the tumultuous history surrounding Duke Changning’s Mansion, much like the rest of the capital’s inhabitants.

With confidence, he proclaimed, “The new Queen is none other than the Elder Miss of the Gu Family. She is our beloved Phoenix Girl, betrothed to Lord Huai. There’s no need for further speculation!”

The housekeeper’s voice rang out with pride as he made the announcement.

Phoenix Girl was truly an exceptional young woman!

Even when Lord Huai faced adversity, she never once entertained the thought of breaking off their engagement. Her unwavering loyalty was a rare quality admired by many.

The Second Lady of the Gu Family, on the other hand, was a different story. She only pursued those with wealth and power, which ultimately led to her current predicament.

Phoenix Girl deserved a partner who would truly cherish her.

The Elder Miss of the Gu Family?

Gu Chaoyan?

That peculiar and unattractive individual?

“Impossible! That repulsive woman could never become the Queen!” Lu Jiming vehemently dismissed the notion.

In his mind, anyone in the capital could have ascended to the position of Queen, except for her.

“Prince, Phoenix Girl is not repulsive. She is beautiful and possesses a kind heart,” the housekeeper countered.

“Hahahaha!” Lu Jiming burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.

Madame of Duke Changning’s Mansion happened to pa.s.s by.

Lu Jiming grabbed her arm, exclaiming, “Mother, this servant claims that the new Queen is Gu Chaoyan, that hideous woman! Hahahaha!”
