Chapter 6 Blood Light
Looking at the dagger that gleamed with cold light, Old Li Tou was so frightened that he stepped back several steps, his feet softened, and he fell to the ground.
Gu Yanfei put the dagger back into the scabbard without changing his expression, his movements were neat and tidy, thinking to himself: It really is a good sword!
Kuanbi stood there, dumbfounded.
"Jubi, let's go." Gu Yanfei smiled slightly, with a beautiful smile.
She carried her skirt across the high threshold, and her posture was always elegant and straight.
Kuanbi took a beat before he caught up.
The master and servant had just entered the door when they heard a stern and stern female voice in front of them aggressively scolding:
"Second girl, look at you, how can you still look like a noble lady in the Hou's residence!"
Not far away, a grandma wearing a rust-colored dark-patterned robe and three or four old ladies walked towards this side aggressively.
was headed by a grandmother in her early fifties, with drooping eyes, a few deep ravines at the corners of her eyes, and a hint of arrogance between her brows.
Chuanbi shouted in a sullen voice, "Mother Xu."
Three months ago, it was this Xu Mammy who went to Huaibei on the order of Mrs. Houfu Tai and brought Gu Yanfei here.
Mammy Xu walked straight to Gu Yanfei without salute, and swept her from head to toe with her picky eyes, swept over her slightly messy temple hair and the mud on the skirt, she frowned, feeling that this was in her heart. This second girl is really indecent, not even the first and second class maids in their Hou residence.
If it weren't for the marriage between Houfu and Fang's family...
Mother Xu calmed her mind and said sternly, "Second girl, Madam Tai asked you to stay here temporarily to learn the rules. Is that how you learn the rules?!"
"You are also approaching the age of 笄, a girl in a boudoir should read more "Nv Jie" and "Nv Xun" at home, and be a female celebrity. Look at your current appearance. Going home late, just now… hey!”
"If this spreads out, it will only make people laugh at the fact that Gu family has no way to teach daughters."
"You really failed Mrs. Tai's hard work. Thanks to Mrs. Tai, she sent a letter to ask how well you learned the rules, thinking about taking you back to Beijing earlier."
Mammy Xu shook her head contemptuously, her lofty posture and tone, as if she were the master and Gu Yanfei was the servant.
"Mother Xu, you misunderstood." Juan Bi hurriedly told about the accidental fall of the carriage on the cliff, and her eyes were slightly red when she talked about the dead coachman and the poor woman.
Grandma Xu's brows became tighter and tighter, her expression became colder and stiffer, and she scolded Gu Yanfei again: "Second girl, if you didn't have to go out, why would you be here!"
This sentence is equivalent to blaming Gu Yanfei for the death of the coachman and the poor woman.
Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows, his eyes fixed on Xu Mammy's face.
In her previous life, she woke up from a coma the next morning. She had a high fever and was weak. She had no luck for the rest of her life, only deep fear.
At that time, Mama Xu also reprimanded her like this, saying that she had killed Juan Bi, the driver and the others.
She believed it, just as Xu Mama wished, she blamed all the faults on herself... For many years after that, she spent many years in guilt and self-blame, becoming more and more inferior, always looking ahead and looking back.
But now she won't be so stupid anymore.
She knows who the real fault is and who is the one who should pay the price. She will not blame herself for the mistakes of others.
"Mother Xu, how can you..."
Juan Bi eagerly wanted to help Gu Yanfei argue, but was stopped by Gu Yanfei: "Juan Bi, enough is enough."
Gu Yanfei and Xu Mammy looked at each other with eyes like abyss.
Mother Xu conceded she had the upper hand, hooked her lower lip proudly, and a bit of mockery spread across her brows.
Can't she make a country girl movie? !
Mammy Xu casually brushed off her sleeves, and turned to Chuan Bi and said, "Cuan Bi, Mrs. Tai asked you to serve the girl in order to persuade the girl well. It's better for you to encourage the girl to stay away from home!"
"I'll give you thirty slaps."
Mother Xu pulled out a sneer slowly, intending to kill the chicken and show the monkey.
"Ju Bi, go." Gu Yanfei said lightly, not wanting to talk nonsense with Xu Mammy at all, so he raised his feet and left.
is really outrageous! Madam Xu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and she shouted, "Don't go!"
"I wonder how your body compares to the door?" As Gu Yanfei walked forward, he glanced at the half of the door on the ground, and at the same time smiled, showing his demonstration.
There was silence around , Old Li Tou and the old ladies were stunned.
"..." Madam Xu felt as if she had been slapped in public, and the anger in her heart rose.
She has been in the Hou Mansion for decades, and even the sons and girls in the mansion will give her a bit of face, but she is so humiliated by such a country girl who can't be on the stage.
"Second girl!" Xu Ma's voice was cold, and her eyes were stabbed like a knife, "If you continue to make a fool of yourself, don't even think about going back to the Hou Mansion!"
Mother Xu made no secret of the threat in her words, and she was sure that the other party would surrender.
In no mood-
Gu Yanfei didn't show any emotion at all, and shrugged nonchalantly: "Then I won't return."
The evening wind blew a few strands of blue silk on her cheeks, and the end of her hair caressed the girl's beautiful face, giving a feeling of alienation and indifference.
Volume Bi was obedient and followed immediately.
Mother Xu's three white eyes were full of surprise.
In the past three months, she has guided step by step, suppressed step by step, and progressed step by step. She has clearly grasped this timid and cowardly country girl. Like!
When passed by Xu Mammy's side, Gu Yanfei fluttered and dropped a sentence:
"You have bad luck, you will have a **** disaster."
"You dare to curse me?!" Mama Xu raised the volume subconsciously, her eyebrows standing upright.
Gu Yanfei didn't have much to say, he threw his sleeves and left.
"Stop!" Xu Mama's face was sullen, her chest heaving violently, and she was about to chase after her legs.
However, she forgot that the broken door was standing beside her feet, and her right foot tripped. The bloated body suddenly lost her balance and fell forward screaming.
This really happened too fast, and the other people around didn't have time to help them, so they just watched Xu Mama fall to the ground.
Her chin slammed on the door panel, her mouth was full of blood, and she spit out a front tooth. The hairpin on his head was crooked, and half of the gray and sparse hair was scattered, looking like a mad woman, embarrassed.
One woman stunned and pulled the other woman beside her, almost kneeling.
Just now, the second girl said that Mama Xu had a **** disaster, but it came true so quickly!
This, this... this is too amazing!
"Mother Xu, are you alright?"
After a moment of silence, there was a commotion.
Someone hurried to help Madam Xu who fell on the ground, some hurriedly ran to ask the doctor, and some shouted for the concierge to fix the door...
Gu Yanfei didn't care about this.
After returning to the house, she was alone in the room.
This boudoir is simple and elegant. Against the wall is a large and small painted bed with a sky-blue tent hanging over it.
On the east side of the wall is a dressing table and a black lacquer painted gold treasure grid, and a large dark red bookcase is placed by the east window, facing the small pond outside the window.
Gu Yanfei was sitting in front of the book desk by the window, his eyes were half lowered, his eyes were looking at his nose, his nose was looking at his mouth, his mouth was looking at his heart, and he concentrated on trying to feel the aura of the world around him.
