Hearing what Madame Deng said, the other ladies started to look at Gu Chaoyan ironically.
Some of them did not want to share the table with Gu Chaoyan, and some just did not think she was a good suitor for Lord Huai. Although Lord Huai had a bad temper, he was a man with a noble position and those young ladies in the capital would very much want to become a Princess Consort as well. So they felt extremely displeased when the position was taken by someone else.
So when Madame Deng raised the topic, the other ladies had nothing to fear any more.
"Oh yes, we are not that noble, yet we are still wives of those important ministers. We have no intention of eating with a thief. That would just make us look lower in status." Another lady stressed.
Gu Chaoyan had intended to take the seat, but she was pushed out after a few words.
Gu Xiuying did not care about her situation. Instead, she just sat down to watch the show.
