Chapter 199: Embarrassed
He had to clarify something. After all, these were not for this minor Second Lady!
He coughed slightly. “These gifts are....”
“Are all from Madame Jiang. I know that clearly. I will definitely spare some time to thank her in person!” Gu Ruxue said as if she were very broad-minded.
Gu Ruxue found this housekeeper very annoying. He was here delivering the stuff, and she was going to remember how nice the Jiang Mansion was and she was going to help them when she was in the imperial position.
The housekeeper rolled his eyes inwardly. He had met the eldest miss of the Gu Mansion. She was highly skilled in medicine and polite too. He thought that it was because the whole Gu Family was excellent in manners, that the Eldest Miss of the Gu Mansion could have such great manners, but after meeting the Second Lady, he thought differently.
This Second Lady was so impolite. Even if he was just a housekeeper, he was sent by the Jiang Mansion! How dare she interrupt him. She did not respect him at all. Where were her manners?
He shook his head and said straightforwardly instead of showing courtesy. “These gifts are from Madame Jiang to the Eldest Miss of the Gu Mansion, I don’t think that you should take care of them.”
“...”
“Second Lady is the daughter of the concubine, you are not qualified to deal with the stuff belonging to the lineal daughter.”
What?! Gu Ruxue’s face stiffened. Her face flushed. She was both angry and bashful! These were for the ugly Gu Chaoyan?! How could that be possible!
Gu Chaoyan simply had nothing in her to get such expensive presents from the Jiang Mansion! She just could not believe that!
The Jiang Mansion must have made a mistake!
“Housekeeper Jiang, you can’t have made a mistake, can you?” Gu Ruxue asked confidently.
“Madame Jiang stressed that these presents should be given to the Eldest Miss, it was never going to be a mistake. Maybe you are the Eldest Miss, are you?” The housekeeper got annoyed too. Was she implying that they were so stupid as to give the presents to the wrong person?!
The Jiang Mansion might have no military power now, yet they were not to be humiliated by random people.
The housekeeper was already angry. “Madame Gu, please get the Eldest Miss here.”
Madame Gu was confused. She had never expected that the Jiang Mansion was here asking for Chaoyan! However, she had to obey the order.
Madame Gu asked Chen Fu to get her from the Qiong Pavilion. And she showed utter courtesy and asked the housekeeper to get the tea.
Gu Ruxue tightened her hands. She was not convinced. Why was it Gu Chaoyan who received the presents?! They must have made a mistake! Those presents were intended for her!
That was right... During these years, she always attended banquets as the lineal daughter by default, although she was only the Second Lady. They must have made a mistake too.
When Gu Chaoyan was here, the housekeeper would definitely know that they had made a mistake. By that time, she was going to see how the ugly Gu Chaoyan got humiliated!
Gu Ruxue showed a brief smile, feeling that victory was around the corner.
