Empress Dowager Gu disapproved of Lin Jixue. She felt that any young lady from any family in the Capital City was far superior to her.
But Mrs. Gu and Lady Lin were childhood best friends and had kept in touch for decades.
With this connection, it was understandable that Mrs. Gu would want Lin Jixue as a daughter-in-law.
"I have weathered the ups and downs of the palace for decades. What kind of person haven't I seen? That Lin Jixue may look gentle and considerate, but her ambition is practically spilling from her eyes. She is not worthy of Xun."
Gu Xun had a good personality and was skilled in both scholarly and martial arts. Although he wasn't the family heir, not just anyone was fit to be his principal wife.
Empress Dowager Gu had already looked down on Lin Jixue's background, and now, having met her in person, she felt an even greater sense of disgust.
