Chapter 8 Demons

Dou's pawn shop? ! Nanny Xu almost jumped up from her chair, and her face turned ugly again.

"Go to the pawn shop and redeem the earrings."

After giving Mrs. Feng a word, Madam Xu took four or five wives to look for Gu Yanfei aggressively.

The sun was hanging high, and the leaves in the yard were blown up by the autumn wind from time to time, as lonely and desolate as yesterday.

Juan Bi, who had gone out, hadn't returned yet, and there was no one else in the yard, so Nanny Xu rushed into Gu Yanfei's boudoir, furious.

Gu Yanfei sat leisurely by the window, leaning lazily on the window frame with his right arm.

"Second Miss, are you crazy? You actually asked Juanbi to pawn in a pawn shop!" When Madam Xu saw Gu Yanfei, she questioned her head and face.

On the surface, she was astonishing, but in fact she was terrified.

Dou's pawnshop is one of the most famous pawnshops in the Dajing Dynasty, with branches all over the country, including branches in the capital. If the news of the second girl's sale of jewelry spreads to the capital, then the entire Dingyuan Hou Mansion will be ashamed!

If the matter develops to this point, Mrs. Ether's temperament will definitely turn her anger on her, then her fate is obvious.

Thinking of this, Nanny Xu's chest felt oppressed, and she tightly clutched the handkerchief in her hand.

Compared to Nanny Xu, who is strong outside but hard at work, Gu Yanfei is so calm and relaxed, casually grabs a handful of fish food from the box, and sprinkles it into the pond outside the window.

The fish food fell down one after another, and the goldfish in the pond came smelling the fragrance, making ripples in circles. Under the sun, the clear water in the pond shimmered.

In the eyes of Madam Xu, this is like adding fuel to the flames.

She said angrily: "Second girl, don't you know what's good or bad, I'm doing it for your own good."

"Our Dingyuan Hou's Mansion has been honored for a hundred years, and the rules of the Hou's Mansion are strict. All the young masters and girls are well-educated and prudent in their words and deeds."

While speaking, Nanny Xu glanced at the stack of papers in the corner of the desk with contemptuous eyes.

What was copied on the paper was "Women's Training", each stroke was stiff and rigid, and the lower script could barely be called correct.

A country girl like this who can't read big characters can't get on the stage at all.

"You look like this, how can you go back to the Marquis Mansion!" Madam Xu increased her volume, looking down at Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei grabbed fish food from the box again and sprinkled it on the pond, finally gave Nanny Xu a look, and said casually: "Didn't I say, I won't go back."

The sunlight outside the window coated her whole body with a light golden halo, giving her a dreamlike brilliance.

Madam Xu: "..."

Nanny Xu seemed to be choking on something, her face turned blue, and she couldn't speak the words she had planned.

It is true that the second girl had said in public last night that she would not return to the Hou's Mansion, but Nanny Xu didn't take her words seriously, thinking that the frightened little girl was just being angry.

What she didn't expect was that the second girl was still stubborn after one night.

There was a twitch of blue veins on Xu Nanny's forehead, and she instinctively wanted to get angry, but she suppressed it again.

Since hard ones are not good enough, then only soft ones can be used.

Nanny Xu took a deep breath, raised her hand and made a gesture.

The women behind her withdrew wisely, and only Gu Yanfei and Nanny Xu were left in the room.

All of a sudden, the surrounding area became much quieter. Occasionally, a few goldfish would jump out of the pond and fall back into the water, with the sound of "plop, plop" falling into the water one after another.

Nanny Xu showed a seemingly friendly smile, the smile didn't reach her eyes, and she said patiently: "Second Miss, you grew up outside, and you don't know many things. Originally, this matter should be handled by Mrs. What the girl said, today I will overstep and talk to the girl."

"Second girl, your grandfather is old friends with the old man of the British government. As early as when the girl was born, the two of them made an appointment to betroth the girl to the eldest grandson of the old man. relative."

Nanny Xu said while observing the changes in Gu Yanfei's expression. Gu Yanfei took a plain white handkerchief and wiped her fair fingers slowly.

Seeing that Gu Yanfei was listening, Nanny Xu twitched the corners of her lower lips contentedly, and thought to herself: If this wild girl can marry into a family like the British government, it's like flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix.

What a girl wants in her life is nothing more than a good marriage. As long as she wants something, she will naturally be controlled by herself.

The smile on Xu Nanny's face deepened, and she continued: "Second girl, Fang Mingfeng, the prince of England, is seventeen years old this year, and he is a well-known young talent in Beijing. I praised it myself."

"When the girl goes to the capital in the future and sees Fang Shizi with her own eyes, she will definitely..."

"I've already seen it." Gu Yanfei suddenly interrupted Madam Xu.

Madam Xu: "..."

Mother Xu was stunned, her first reaction was how could this be possible!

Gu Yanfei raised her willow eyebrows, and commented calmly: "It's just mediocre, it's hard to make a good match."

Eight words summed up her evaluation of Fang Mingfeng.

Mother Xu's old eyes suddenly widened, and she reprimanded angrily: "Second girl, don't talk about it! If this word reaches the British government..."

This time without Gu Yanfei opening his mouth, another bright female voice rushed to say:

"What the girl said is true!"

Juanbi came back in a hurry, her face was covered with sweat, and her tiredness could not be concealed.

Yesterday evening, after she went to Dou's pawn shop to pawn jewelry, she immediately hired someone to go out of the city to collect the corpses of the coachman Old Wang and Mrs. Zhang, and she was busy until now before returning home.

Juan Bi strode to Gu Yanfei's side, stood with her head held high, and then roughly explained how they met Fang Mingfeng at the gate of the city yesterday.

Mother Xu listened to Juanbi's words clearly and logically, and felt that Juanbi's elm head could not make up such a story, and her heart was in a state of confusion.

She opened and closed her mouth, wanting to ask if the second girl has lost her mind. Such a good marriage can't be found even with a lantern. No matter how many ladies in Beijing, they can't ask for it. However, the second girl said brazenly She can't see the prince!

Crazy, this country girl must be crazy!

Nanny Xu's chest heaved several times rapidly, and it took her a while to recover, and said in a stiff tone: "So, the second girl has made up her mind not to return to Beijing?"

"If you want me to go back, it's okay," Gu Yanfei raised his hand to catch a piece of red maple flying into the house, and said casually, "Let Mrs. Tai come here to pick me up in person."

"Second Miss, do you know what you're talking about?" Nanny Xu squeezed her voice out through her teeth.

The second girl dared to put on airs to Mrs. Tai, and she was not afraid to flinch!

How could Mrs. Tai condescendingly come to Danyang City to pick her up! !

"Mummy, remember, it's not that I want to go back, it's the Hou Mansion begging me to go back." Gu Yanfei shook his hand lightly, and issued the order to evict the guests, "Mommy still has to hurry, so I won't keep Mommy."

Gu Yanfei curled his lips into a smile, the smile was light and faint, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

Of course she will return to Beijing, and face all the causes of her demons in her life.

Only in this way can she get rid of her inner demons and be reborn from the ashes.
