Dou's Pawn Shop?! Nanny Xu almost jumped up from her chair, her face turned ugly again.

"Hurry up to the pawn shop and redeem the earrings."

After giving instructions to Mrs. Feng, Nanny Xu and four or five other ladies went to find Gu Yanfei aggressively.

The sun is high in the sky, and the fallen leaves are everywhere in the yard, blown up by the autumn wind from time to time. It is as lonely and desolate as yesterday.

Juan Bi, who had gone out, had not returned yet, and there was no one else in the courtyard. Aunt Xu barged into Gu Yanfei's boudoir, furious.

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

"Second girl, are you crazy? You actually let Juan Bi go to the pawn shop to pawn something!" When Aunt Xu saw Gu Yanfei, she burst into questions.

She looks amazing on the surface, but actually she is scared in her heart.

Dou's Pawnshop was one of the most famous pawnshops in the Jing Dynasty, with branches all over the country and branches in the capital. If the news that the two girls sold their jewelry reached the capital, it would be embarrassing for the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion!

If things develop to this point, Mrs. Ether's temper will definitely be turned on her, and her fate will be obvious.

Thinking of this, Nanny Xu's chest felt tight and she clutched the handkerchief tightly.

Compared to Nanny Xu, who was strong on the outside but hard on the inside, Gu Yanfei was so calm and relaxed. She casually grabbed a handful of fish food from the box and threw it into the pond outside the window.

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

In the eyes of Nanny Xu, this is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

She said angrily: "Second girl, don't be ignorant of what is good and what is good. I am doing this for your own good."

"Our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a century-old noble. The rules of the Marquis Mansion are strict. All the gentlemen and girls are well-educated and cautious in their words and deeds."

As she spoke, Nanny Xu glanced at the pile of paper in the corner of the desk with disdain.

What was copied on the paper was "Women's Training", each stroke was stiff and stiff, and the small regular script of this hand could only be called correct.

An illiterate country girl like this has no chance of getting on the stage.

"How can you go back to the Marquis Mansion like this!" Nanny Xu increased her voice and looked at Gu Yanfei condescendingly.

Gu Yanfei grabbed another handful of fish food from the box and threw it into the pond. Finally, she gave Nanny Xu a look and said casually, "Didn't I tell you that I won't go back?"

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

Aunt Xu: “…”

Nanny Xu seemed to be choked by something, her face turned blue, and she could no longer say what she had planned.

It is true that the second girl said in public last night that she would not return to the Marquis' Mansion, but Aunt Xu did not take her words seriously, thinking that the frightened little girl was just angry.

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

Nanny Xu's forehead was throbbing with veins, and she instinctively wanted to get angry, but she suppressed it again.

Since the hard one is not enough, the only option is the soft one.

Nanny Xu took a deep breath and raised her hand to make a gesture.

The ladies behind her wisely withdrew, leaving only Gu Yanfei and Nanny Xu in the room.

The surroundings suddenly became a lot quieter. Occasionally, a few goldfish jumped up from the pond and fell back into the water. The sound of "plop, plop" falling into the water kept coming and going.

Nanny Xu showed a seemingly friendly smile, the smile was not as deep as her eyes, and said patiently: "Second girl, you grew up outside, and you don't know many things. Originally, this matter should be handled by the wife.

The girl said it, but today I overstepped my bounds and talked to the girl."

"Second girl, your grandfather is an old friend of the British Duke. As early as when the girl was born, the two of them made an appointment to marry her to the eldest grandson of the old Duke. The two families are closely related.

relative."

As Nanny Xu spoke, she observed the changes in Gu Yanfei's expression. Gu Yanfei took a plain white handkerchief and wiped her white fingers slowly.

Seeing Gu Yanfei listening, Mammy Xu raised the corners of her lips with pride and thought to herself: This wild girl can marry into a family like the British Duke's family, which is like flying up a branch and becoming a phoenix.

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

The smile on Nanny Xu'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 the capital. He is not only of noble birth, but also versatile in both civil and military affairs. Even the current emperor is

I praised it personally.”

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

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

Aunt Xu: “…”

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

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

Eight words summed up her evaluation of Fang Mingfeng.

Nanny Xu's old eyes widened suddenly, and she scolded angrily: "Second girl, don't talk nonsense! If this word reaches the British government..."

This time Gu Yanfei didn't need to speak, another clear female voice rushed to say:

"Everything the girl said is true!"

Juan Bi came back in a hurry, his head covered with sweat, and his face could not hide his fatigue.

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

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

After hearing what Juan Bi said so lucidly, Mammy Xu felt that even Juan Bi's wooden brain could not make up such a story, and her heart was filled with confusion.

She opened and closed her mouth, wanting to say that the second girl had damaged her brain. Such a good marriage could not be found even with a lantern. There were many ladies in the capital who could not ask for it. However, the second girl actually said so brazenly.

She looks down on Prince Fang!

Crazy, this country girl must be crazy!

Nanny Xu's chest rose and fell rapidly several times. It took her a while to regain her composure, and she continued 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, you can," Gu Yanfei raised her hand to catch a piece of red maple that flew into the house, and said casually, "Let the madam come to pick me up here in person."

"Second girl, do you know what you are talking about?" Nanny Xu's voice was forced out through her teeth.

The second girl dared to show off to the madam, and she was not afraid of getting out of her way!

How could Mrs. Yu condescend to come to Danyang City to pick her up!!

"Mommy, please remember, it's not me who wants to go back, it's the Hou Mansion who begs me to go back." Gu Yanfei gently waved her hand and issued an eviction order, "Mommy has to go on her way, so I won't keep her here."

Gu Yanfei curled her lips and smiled, her smile was shallow and her eyes were as cold as ice.

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