Miss Zhang stepped up to Gu Youyou and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Gu, I've heard your medical skills are remarkable. You once cured the Empress Dowager's leg ailment and were fortunate enough to take Princess Number Nine as your apprentice. It turns out to be true."
The other ladies started to grow uneasy.
Gu Youyou was the Princess's mentor and the Empress Dowager's benefactor. Did they even stand a chance against her?
Thus, when they looked at Gu Youyou again, their eyes were filled with hostility.
These few words made Gu Youyou take another look at Miss Zhang.
An unintentional remark had made her the target of everyone's arrows!
But it didn't matter. After all, they were selecting only one, not a bunch. After these few days, everyone would go their separate ways, and who would remember who was who?
Gu Youyou, with her combined lifetimes, was more than thirty years old. She had no reason to quarrel with these little girls who were in their mid-teens.
