Chapter 8 Heart Demon

Dou's pawnshop? ! Madam Xu almost jumped up from the chair, and her face was ugly again.

"Go to the pawnshop and redeem the earrings."

After instructing Madam Feng, Madam Xu took four or five old women to look for Gu Yanfei aggressively.

The sun is hanging high, and the fallen leaves in the yard are swept up by the autumn wind from time to time. It is as lonely and bleak as yesterday.

Juan Bi, who had gone out, had not returned, and there was no one else in or outside the yard. Madam Xu rushed into Gu Yanfei's boudoir, furious.

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

"Second girl, are you crazy? You actually asked Juan Bi to go to the pawnshop as a pawn!" When Xu Yanfei saw Gu Yanfei, she questioned her face to face.

She looked amazing on the surface, but she was actually scared.

Dou's Pawnshop is one of the most famous pawnshops in Dajing Dynasty, with branches in the north and south of Dajiang, and there are also branches in Beijing. If the news of the second girl selling the jewelry reaches the capital, then the entire Dingyuan Hou Mansion will be embarrassed!

If things develop to this point, Mrs. Ether's temperament will definitely take anger on her, then her fate is obvious.

Thinking of this, Mammy Xu's chest felt tight for a while, and she tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand.

Compared to Xu Mamma, who is strong on the outside and hard at work, Gu Yanfei is so calm and relaxed, grabbing a handful of fish food from the box and throwing it into the pond outside the window.

The fish and food fell down one after another, and a tail of goldfish in the pond smelled the fragrance, making a circle of ripples, and the clear pond water sparkled in the sun.

In Xu's eyes, this is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

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

"Our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a century-old noble man. The Marquis Mansion has strict rules, and the young masters and girls are all knowledgeable and prudent in their words and deeds."

As she spoke, Madam Xu glanced contemptuously at the stack of papers in the corner of the desk.

Copyed on the paper is "Nu Xun", the strokes are rigid and rigid, and this small script can only be called upright.

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

"You look like this, how can you go back to the Hou Mansion!" Xu Mammy increased her voice and looked at Gu Yanfei condescendingly.

Gu Yanfei grabbed the fish food from the box again and threw it into the pond, finally gave Xu Mammy a look, and said casually, "Didn't I say, I'm not going back."

The sunlight outside the window cast a light golden halo all over her body, giving her a dreamlike brilliance.

Mother Xu: "…"

Mother Xu seemed to be choking on something, her face turned blue, and she couldn't say what she had planned.

Indeed, last night the second girl had publicly said that she would not return to the Hou residence, but Xu Mammy didn't take her words seriously, she thought it was just the frightened little girl who was angry.

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

Mammy Xu's forehead throbbed with blue veins, she instinctively wanted to get angry, and pressed it down again.

Since it’s not good to be hard, it can only be soft.

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

The women behind her retreated wisely, leaving only Gu Yanfei and Xu Mammy in the room.

All of a sudden there was a lot of silence around. Occasionally, a few goldfish jumped up from the pond and fell back into the water. The falling sound of "Plop, Plop" came one after another.

Madam Xu showed a seemingly friendly smile, and the smile was beyond her eyes, and she said patiently: "Second girl, you grew up outside, and you don't know many things. Originally, this matter should be handled by Mrs. Tai. What the girl said, today I overstepped and told the girl."

"Second girl, your grandfather and the old grandfather of the British government are old friends. As early as when the girl was born, the two of them made an appointment to promise the girl to the eldest grandson of the old grandfather. Dear."

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

Seeing that Gu Yanfei was listening, Madam Xu raised the corner of her lower lip complacently, and thought to herself: If this wild girl can marry into a family like the British government, she will become a phoenix by flying up the branches.

A girl's family can only ask for a good marriage in her life. As long as she asks for something, she will naturally be controlled by herself.

The smile on Xu Ma's face deepened, and she continued: "Second girl, the British prince Fang Mingfeng is seventeen years old this year. He is the most famous young talent in Beijing. complimented myself."

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

"I have seen it." Gu Yanfei suddenly interrupted Xu Mammy.

Mother Xu: "…"

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

Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and commented calmly: "But it's hard to be a good match."

The eight words    summed up her evaluation of Mingfeng.

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

This time, without Gu Yanfei speaking, another bright female voice hurriedly said:

"Everything the girl said is true!"

Kuanbi came back in a hurry, running with sweat all over his face, and his face could not hide the tiredness.

Yesterday evening, after she went to Dou's pawnshop to **** jewelry, she immediately hired someone to go out of the city to collect the corpses for the coachman Lao Wang and Mrs. Zhang, and she has been busy until now before returning to the house.

Kuanbi strode over to Gu Yanfei's side, stood with his head held high, and then told the story of how they met Fang Mingfeng at the city gate yesterday.

Mammy Xu heard that Jue Bi was so righteous, and felt that she couldn't make up such a story even with Jue Bi's elm head, and her heart was numb.

Her mouth opened and closed, wanting to say if the second girl had broken her brain, such a good marriage could not be found even with a lantern, how many girls in Beijing could not beg for it, but the second girl dared to say She doesn't look down on the prince!

Crazy, this country girl must be crazy!

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

"You can go back if you want me," 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 girl, do you know what you're talking about?" Mammy Xu's voice came out of her teeth with difficulty.

The second girl dared to hold a shelf in front of Mrs. Tai, and she was not afraid of flashing her waist!

How could Mrs. Tai come to Danyang City to pick her up in a condescending manner!

"Mummy and remember, it's not that I want to go back, it's the Houfu who begged me to go back." Gu Yanfei shook his hand gently and issued an order to evict guests, "Mummy has to go, so I won't stay."

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

Of course she will go back to Beijing and face all the causes of her inner demons.

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