Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 709 - Xuan Lin And Zhou Huaijin

Chapter 709 - Xuan Lin And Zhou Huaijin

The Second Lady of the Chu Family pulled her away.

Gu Ruxue was so angry that she slapped the Second Lady of the Chu Family, but the Second Lady of the Chu Family was not mad. Instead, she asked with a flattering tone, "You are not angry any more, are you, Princess Consort?"

"I was not defending Madame Min, I was helping you," the Second Lady said.

She had no way to get herself out, but she needed to flatter Gu Ruxue so she added some more nice words. However, she had not expected that Madame Min, who never cared about anything, would interfere. If she did not stop them, she would have to be the scapegoat for the upcoming argument between Princess Consort and Madame Min. So she had to pull her away and maybe she could show that she had done Princess Consort a favor.

"You helped me?" Gu Ruxue looked twisted. She was obviously angry.

"Princess Consort, I am not setting you up, my father is the Prime Minister, and he has always warned us that we should never offend Madame Min," the Second Lady said and then whispered as she looked about. "Even the King has to be polite in front of her. I was worried about you so I dragged you away from Madame Min. If you want to warn Madame Min, you can have a discussion with Lord Ling. You can always take revenge, don't worry."

Only now did Gu Ruxue stop being that angry. She was so angry that she forgot about it.

Lord Ling once warned her before - she could do whatever she wanted at Lord Ling's Mansion, but she needed to stay away from Madame Min and Zhao Yiqiu.

When the Second Lady reminded her, she suddenly remembered the warning she heard before.

She became a bit timid, but whatever, she was still angry, so she did not have a good expression on her face. However, this lady seemed nice, so she added, "You are the Second Lady of the Chu Family, right? I remember you now, come to visit me at Lord Ling's Mansion when you have time."

The Second Lady smiled brightly and nodded constantly. "Sure!"

Having said these words, they returned to their seats.

Gu Ruxue did not mention what happened earlier, but she was still wearing a very arrogant look on her face.

The other wives and ladies were still sucking her up. They did not dare to irritate Madame Min, but they still dared to flatter people in front of Madame Min. They knew Madame Min well, she never spoke or cared about anyone else.

Gu Chaoyan poured Madame Min a cup of tea as a way of expressing her grat.i.tude. She knew clearly that Madame Min was not doing it for her, but she still gave her a hand.

Madame Min nodded briefly.

On the other side…

Zhou Huaijin, Zhou Huailing and Zhou Huaiyu were sharing the same table, but none of them were speaking. They had nothing in common with each other.

The only bustling sound was from the guests who were toasting Zhou Huailing.

No one came to toast Zhou Huaijin and Zhou Huaiyu. No one dared to flatter anyone apart from Lord Ling.

When Xuan Lin came with the cup and showed up in front of Zhou Huaijin, he did not raise the cup directly, but looked up at Xuan Lin.

Xuan Lin smiled. "Lord Huai, I have heard a lot about you."

Zhou Huaijin frowned slightly.

This was the man the King wanted Xunyang to marry. He did not greet him happily, but he still raised the cup and drank it.

When he finished the wine… Xuan Lin was still there.
