Chapter 97: Not Only Did She Not Turn Ugly, But She Was Even More Beautiful
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Gu Qingxue again after six years, everyone was ready to mock her.
“My eldest sister is here. I’m going to accompany her, in case she encounters something she doesn’t understand and will be rude in front of the guests.” As Gu Lingyue spoke, she only took two steps forward when she suddenly heard surprised exclamations from the crowd.
A beautiful figure wearing a purple dress appeared in front of the crowd.
Gu Qingxue was not wearing any makeup, but she was as beautiful as a fairy. The moment she appeared, she actually surpassed all the women present.
She had a simple yet elegant appearance. She was clearly only wearing a light purple dress, and even her headdress was just a top-quality jade hairpin. Her thick black hair was tied up behind her head, and a few strands of hair drooped down beside her ears. However, she looked even more languid and charming, making her already exquisite facial features even more lively. Her pair of black eyes were like a deep pool, unfathomable.
The moment she appeared, she formed a sharp contrast with the bejeweled appearance of the women present, making her appear charming and not vulgar.
However, that was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that her posture and movements could be considered perfect. She greeted her elders when she met them, and even nodded to them when she met her peers. Every time she greeted them, she could accurately state their names and official positions.
Lan Wen stood behind Gu Qingxue and could not help but feel surprised.
Back then, in order to make a living, she had spent a full three months memorizing the complicated relationships of the people in Jing City.
However, the Eldest Miss had only heard a rough introduction just now, and she had memorized them all!
All the people who had greeted Gu Qingxue could not help but sigh at her change after the shock.
Was this still the same Gu Qingxue from before? She did not seem to be timid at all. Instead, she was graceful, and her words and actions could be said to be perfect.
Gu Lingyue watched this scene in disbelief.
In the past, in order for her to marry into the royal family in the future without losing face, Madam Kou had even hired the palace’s etiquette nanny to teach her etiquette.
However, she had painstakingly studied for a few years, but she could not be as perfect as Gu Qingxue.
What attracted people to Gu Qingxue was not how standard her actions were when she bowed, but her temperament and the way she spoke. They could not help but sigh at her natural nobility.
Unexpectedly, after Gu Qingxue went to the countryside, not only did she not become ugly, but she was even more beautiful than she was six years ago!

“Fourth Miss, is that Eldest Miss Gu? How can she be so open-minded? Look, she actually dares to speak face to face with the wife of Imperial Duke Zhan!” Miss Zhang said in surprise.
Not far away, Gu Qingxue was greeting a middle-aged woman who had just entered the door.
That woman dressed in a dark red robe was the beloved wife of Imperial Duke Zhan, Madam Qiao.
Madam Qiao could be said to be the most honorable person present. Gu Qingxue was standing at the entrance of the garden, and Qiao happened to meet her. After the two of them bowed to each other, Madam Qiao recognized Gu Qingxue and even started talking to her.
“Xue’er pays her respects to the imperial duke’s wife,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.
Madam Qiao had a pair of long and narrow phoenix-like eyes. The corners of her eyes were raised, giving off a sharp aura. Ordinary young women would never dare to greet her.
Even some people of the same generation were afraid of her identity and aura. They never dared to treat her lightly.
After all, Imperial Duke Zhan, who was also the husband of Madam Qiao, controlled three hundred thousand soldiers. He had always loved his wife. He was extremely nervous whenever there was a slight movement, causing everyone not to dare to approach Madam Qiao. They were afraid that if he offended her, they would be taught a lesson by Imperial Duke Zhan.
