Chapter 669 - Someone’s Miss
Chapter 669: Someone’s Miss
“This is the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai, she is not for you to humiliate! Your family has not gotten the rank yet, and how dare you humiliate the royal family! So are you going to demean the King when you get the rank, then?” Fu Bao bellowed angrily.
He was so angry. When he was with Zhou Huaijin, he never ran into things like this, but when the Lord was away, someone dared to humiliate Lady Chaoyan. What was wrong with them!
Fu Bao was Zhou Huaijin’s personal guard, so he did have an imposing air.
When Madame Zheng heard his words, she turned pale. She had not expected that she had offended the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai!
Noble families had stopped hanging out with Duke North’s Mansion, that was why Madame Zheng was bold enough to cause the misunderstanding, seeing that Gu Chaoyan looked unfamiliar.
She did not dare to offend the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai now… and even when Zheng Yunfan got the rank, she would not dare to offend a woman with that background.
If such a misunderstanding was kept, then the rank would be influenced. She was the Madame of the Zheng Family, but if something like this happened, the Zheng Family would blame her for causing trouble.
Madame Zheng turned pale and became increasingly anxious.
The other people from the Zheng Family were watching Madame Zheng as if they were watching an entertainment show. Zheng Yunfan was the most likely winner for today’s contest, but if Madame Zheng caused trouble, then the other members of the Zheng Family would have the chance of winning the rank. So they wished that Madame Zheng would cause some more trouble, otherwise she would be so annoying bullying people around as if she were the boss.
Gu Chaoyan said nothing. She was just watching Madame Zheng in silence.
Madame Zheng felt dizzy. She kneeled down directly and said, “Please, Miss, I am too stupid to cause such trouble, please don’t blame me for that, please.” She said this as she kept kowtowing.
Gu Chaoyan continued to watch her in silence and did not ask her to get up.
Gu Chaoyan did not like the manners of kowtowing and kneeling, but today, she did not want her to get up. This woman was so terrible. When she felt that you were someone to bully, she spared no efforts in bullying you, but when she found that you were not someone to offend, she just kneeled down, begging for forgiveness.
If it had been someone else without background who was at this position today, then the miss would be deeply bullied, wouldn’t she?
Her son had not gotten the rank yet, so how dared she offend Mrs. Duke North and Young Duke. How terrible!
Gu Chaoyan glanced at her and said nothing. Instead, she turned around and focused upon the pitch.
The contest seemed to have started.
It was a simple contest, because it was a rank for the Zheng Family to compete among themselves.
What the King hoped to see was who would be able to lead the army, and as long as that winner was able to lead the army to the battlefield, the King would approve of that person for the rank whilst getting him a strategist for further deployment. All he needed was the title!
So it was just a contest in martial arts.
Zheng Chenyi was still waiting, whilst the other members of the Zheng Family were already in the contest.
Gu Chaoyan was watching very carefully too. She would like to see how strong the Zheng Family was.
Madame Zheng was still on her knees. She sneaked a look at Gu Chaoyan, hoping that this method would make her change her mind. She had been on her knees for too long yet Gu Chaoyan still refused to let her get up. So she had to continue to sit on her knees.
On the other side, however, a man in a long robe pointed at Gu Chaoyan as he asked Zhou Huailing next to him.. “Who is she?”
