Gu Ruxue was startled, then she remembered that she did stop Lord Huai back at the Officer's place a while ago. She did not have anything to tell Lord Huai, just got quite annoyed when he saw how Lord Huai cared about Gu Chaoyan.
She had thought that when she called out to Lord Huai, he would at least stop and ask what she needed, since she was the Phoenix Girl! What she wanted was to see how Gu Chaoyan would react, but Lord Huai did not stop, nor did he ask her what she needed.
Gu Ruxue had been feeling quite distressed, but now Lord Ling knew about it!
Gu Ruxue glanced at her maids, thinking that one of them must have betrayed her.
Apart from Ming, most of the other maids were from Lord Ling's Mansion. She felt that those people must have turned on her… so she was feeling very displeased, but she could not snap at them.
