154 What Is a Real Showoff

Gu Chengbin seemed to be afraid that others would not notice that he had dressed up meticulously today. He specially wore a moon-colored robe. Even the buttons were made of jade. He also wore a fox-fur cloak, it looked quite exquisite.

Lan Wen followed behind Gu Qingxue. When he saw Gu Chengbin’s appearance, she could not help but whisper, “Eldest Miss, what is the Young Master’s attire? Is he afraid that others won’t notice that he is a rich Young Master?”

“The imperial duke’s wife is always merciful in her heart. She has never liked people killing innocents indiscriminately. Yet, he insisted on wearing a fox skin cloak to the imperial duke’s manor.” Gu Qingxue looked at Gu Chengbin, finally understanding what it meant to be a real showoff.

Lan Wen was a little worried, “He really knows how to jinx things. The imperial duke’s wife doesn’t like him to begin with, yet he is still so arrogant. Isn’t he afraid that the imperial duke’s wife will throw him out of the house in a fit of anger?”

Gu Qingxue smiled slightly. “That’s not my responsibility. I’m only responsible for bringing him to the imperial duke’s manor. If the imperial duke’s wife can’t tolerate him, it’s not something I can interfere with.”

Lan Wen could not help but give Gu Qingxue a thumbs up. “The Eldest Miss is wise!”

On this side, Gu Chengbin also looked at Gu Qingxue. He saw that she was only wearing the most ordinary clothes of the common people and a plain silver hairpin on her head. Other than that, there were no other decorations.

Gu Qingxue looked fresh and was stunning.

However, they were going to the imperial duke’s manor. It would be embarrassing to wear such shabby clothes, right?

However, Gu Chengbin went to the imperial duke’s manor with Gu Qingxue today in order to steal her limelight. Seeing that she was dressed in such ordinary clothes, he became even more delighted. “Eldest sister, let’s go.”

Gu Qingxue nodded and led Gu Chengbin all the way to the front door of the Gu family.

However, just as they left, Gu Qingxue saw many people standing in front of the Gu family’s front door, including Madam Kou and Gu Lingyue.

Gu Qingxue was puzzled and strode forward.

Gu Chengbin asked with a smile, “Mother, are you here to send me off?”

Seeing Gu Chengbin, Madam Kou could not stop smiling. She pulled him forward and said, “Bin’er, look, the carriage from the imperial duke’s manor is here to pick you up!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Chengbin was pleasantly surprised. As expected, he saw the carriage with the flag of the imperial duke’s manor stopping at the gate of the Gu family.

At this time, the gate of the Gu family was already full of onlookers. Each and every one of them was standing in the carriage and the Gu family. Their words were full of envy.

“Look, it’s really the carriage from the imperial duke’s manor! It seems that the Gu family has really climbed up to the top.”

“But, wasn’t the reward from the imperial duke’s manor for Eldest Miss Gu alone? Why is this carriage here to pick up Third Young Master today?”

“You don’t understand, do you? The third Young Master is the imperial physician, and Eldest Miss Gu is just a young doctor. In the end, the Third Young Master still needs to come out.”

“Exactly. Didn’t you hear what the Eldest Madam say? This carriage is here to pick up Third Young Master. The imperial duke’s manor still thinks highly of the Third Young Master. Otherwise, why would he come to pick him up in such a big way two days ago?”

At this point, everyone felt that their guess was correct.

Gu Lingyue was very clear that Gu Chengbin had just happened to come at a good time today, and this carriage was not here to pick him up.

However, what harm was there?

Anyway, as long as others thought that this carriage was here to pick up her younger brother, it was enough.

“Lil’ Bin, quickly get in the carriage. Don’t make the Madam wait anxiously.” Gu Lingyue and Gu Yi’s words confirmed the speculation of the surrounding people.
