She had not been happy to see Officer Zhao making a proposal to Gu Chaoyan. She was the prettiest girl, with both looks and intelligence, in the whole city - why was Gu Chaoyan the ugly girl able to marry the son of an officer of the Ministry of Revenue whilst she was marrying the Prince of Duke Changning who had no actual power?!
Now, hearing that someone better was making a proposal, Gu Ruxue got excited and then turned to her father.
Mrs. Gu was pleased too, to hear that a better marriage arrangement was around the corner. "Old Master, is it a son of some important ministers?"
Mrs. Gu started to consider which young masters of those families were at a proper age.
Seeing Mrs. Gu's inquiring look as well as his daughter's… Gu Zhenkang felt that for the first time in his life, he was considered great in the whole mansion. He could not help but feel proud. He shook his head and said, "No."
