BXBX NOVEL Chapter 520 - Evilness
Chapter 520: Evilness
Since the organizer and the host were the same person, namely Madame Min…
The procedure became much less troublesome. Madame Min organized the whole process and delivered the speech to Gu Chaoyan when it was time for the host to say something. Gu Chaoyan listened to Madame Min’s words carefully and sincerely.
After Madame Min finished speaking, the servants carried the hairpins and ornaments to them…
Then Princess Xunyang the assistant helped Gu Chaoyan to put on the ornaments, whilst Princess Yunxi, the witness, announced the adulthood.
When everything was done, the Adulthood Ceremony was almost complete.
Normally, a girl would get a middle name for herself at the Adulthood Ceremony. However Gu Chaoyan did not want to go through too much trouble, since she had had the same name for both of her lives, so she skipped that step and remained as Chaoyan.
Madame Min approved of what she was pleased with.
At the banquet.
Mrs. Gu saw that nothing special happened at the Adulthood Ceremony, so she showed a proud smile.
She raised her voice and snapped. “What a grand Adulthood Ceremony, Madame Min is the host, and the witness and the assistant are both princesses, but it is still worse than that of Ruxue’s. When Ruxue held the ceremony, hundreds of birds were flying over the mansion and did not leave after a long time. God was giving us blessings!”
Anyway, Mrs. Gu just could not let her own daughter be overshadowed.
Hearing her words, many ladies felt very dissatisfied.
Although they were very jealous of Gu Chaoyan who had so many important figures at present for her ceremony, Mrs. Gu was even more annoying. What Gu Chaoyan had achieved was something they could do as well if they made some efforts, but Mrs. Gu seemed to have got something they would never achieve, no matter how much they tried. So they hated Mrs. Gu deeply.
Someone snapped directly. “What a stepmother! She keeps commenting bad things about the Adulthood Ceremony and speaks highly of her own daughter!”
The other ladies agreed.
“True!”
“Madame Deng said that this stepmother starved the girl when she was little, so she had to steal buns for food. Then later, she spread a rumor that Elder Miss was stealing the servants’ food.”
“What? What a joke that the Elder Miss of the mansion would steal servants’ things. Ladies are ladies, and servants are just servants, they don’t own anything that doesn’t belong to their owner. What filthy words upon the Elder Miss!”
“How evil she is!”
These ladies started active discussions.
Mrs. Gu would have snapped at a single person, but everyone was talking about the same thing and she just could not do anything about it.
How dare they! How dare they call her evil! They were jealous of her having a daughter like the Phoenix Girl, which they could never achieve!
“Who are you talking about?!” Mrs. Gu shouted.
The other ladies looked at Mrs. Gu as if they were looking at a joke.
She was not like a lady. She was just an ordinary woman who liked gossip! She was narrow-minded. Even when her daughter married the Lord, she was still the same.
The ladies thought about this point and felt somewhat consoled.
When Gu Yunhe got there, he saw Mrs. Gu throwing a temper tantrum.
He frowned. His mother kept teaching them to behave, but she herself failed to.
“Mom, come I need to speak with you,” Gu Yunhe said and tugged her away.
