Gu Jiao had no interest in the flower hairpin, even less in the rumors about Gu Jinyu; she turned and left.
In Qingfeng Building, Gu Jinyu was completely flustered due to Zhuang Mengdie's words. The looks on several young ladies' faces in the private room immediately changed.
Today was a break day from the girls' school. Everyone, with nothing better to do, had gathered at Qingfeng Building to place bets on the Imperial Examination and the Sanhua List.
Gu Jinyu was a strong contender for the Sanhua List. Born to the Marquis Residence, she was the cherished pearl in Gu Marquis's palm. She was also deeply doted on by the Empress Dowager, and was given the title "lady of Hui County" by the Emperor on her coming-of-age day when she turned fifteen.
Her talents and reputation were well-known in the Capital City. After entering the girls' school, she excelled, garnering numerous first prizes, equally dividing the attention with Zhuang Yuexi.
