Sitting on the high chair, Gu Ruxue had her head raised and pointed at Gu Chaoyan. She was surrounded by many maids and aunties, just as the Crown Prince Consort should have. She had six maids with her apart from the major one, and two aunties. She had at least nine people serving her. Zhou Huailing even got Gu Ruxue two more maids to take care of her for the banquet, so now she had 11 people around her, looking really intimidating.
By comparison, Gu Chaoyan only had Sword One with her. She did not even bring Qing with her because Gu Chaoyan was used to having only Sword One with her rather than many other maids.
The contrast was very pointed.
That was why Gu Ruxue looked so proud.
Back at the Gu Mansion, Gu Chaoyan only had one maid left by her mother and after she got engaged with Lord Huai, she only got one more maid with her. So she looked really poor compared to Gu Ruxue.
