Mrs. Gu panicked too.
If what Ruxue had done at the study had not been seen by Lord Ling, then Mrs. Gu would not have gotten so anxious - even if Ruxue turned out not to be the Phoenix Girl, Lord Ling would at least not dislike her. At least, Ruxue could stay safe and sound at the Lord Ling's Mansion as the Equal Princess Consort. However, Lord Ling saw what happened at the study the other day. And the only reason why Lord Ling tolerated the whole thing was because Ruxue was supposed to be the Phoenix Girl.
If she turned out to be someone else, then Mrs. Gu could definitely predict what would happen to them.
She just could not lose. She just could not let her daughter lose her identity as the Phoenix Girl!
Mrs. Gu pulled over Gu Ruxue's hand and asked, "Nothing happened on that day?"
Gu Ruxue shook her head, looking confused. She just could not fathom out the reason.
Mrs. Gu looked serious and went through the possibility.
