052 Unknown
Seeing that Gu Yanfei was silent, the maid Qingshuang was a little nervous, fearing that she would refuse to go, so she called out again: "Second Miss?"
"Lead the way." Gu Yanfei gently stroked his sleeve and said calmly.
She should go meet the British princess and see what the Fang family is up to.
Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stretched out her hand to make a petition: "Second girl, please come with me."
Gu Yanfei followed him leisurely, and the two passed through the outer gate and walked through a courtyard paved with bluestone bricks before arriving at the hall of the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
The five doors of the hall were wide open, and several lanterns were lit inside, illuminating the entire hall with bright lights.
Mrs. Gu sat at the top as the host, and two guests, a man and a woman, sat on the two rosewood armchairs on the left.
The female guest at the bottom is about thirty-five or six years old. She is wearing a ginger-yellow gold pine and crane pattern engraved silk jacket. She has a slightly plump figure. She has a fair face with fine eyebrows and a graceful and noble appearance. There is a distant smile at the corner of her lips.
Smile, eyes indifferent.
It is the British princess.
Sitting next to her is a young man in blue clothes, about seventeen years old, with a tall and straight figure and an extraordinary handsome face.
Gu Yanfei didn't expect that Fang Mingfeng was there, so he raised his eyebrows.
The little maid guarding the corridor saluted respectfully: "Second Miss."
Three words made the three people in the hall realize that Gu Yanfei was coming, and they all looked at her with different expressions.
Fang Mingfeng turned his head and the other half of his face was exposed.
The wounds punctured by flower thorns on the left side of the face have healed and scabbed off, but the new skin is different from the surrounding skin color. It is flesh-red, densely packed, and a bit scary.
No matter how handsome your face is, it can't be called good-looking in this situation.
As soon as he saw Gu Yanfei, Fang Mingfeng couldn't help but think of what happened in Prince Jing's Mansion. The murderous intention that had been suppressed for several days came to the fore again: if it hadn't been for Gu Yanfei, he and Gu Yuncheng would have been together long ago!!
His dark eyes showed strong viciousness and murderous intent, striking at Gu Yanfei like lightning.
Gu Yanfei's steps did not stop, and she calmly carried her skirt across the high threshold of the hall.
As soon as she entered the room, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall. Mrs. Gu and the British father-in-law both looked cold, and the few maids serving next to her lowered their heads, looking as if they were silent.
After the British princess glanced at Gu Yanfei with disdain, she lowered her head and started drinking tea. It was obvious that she didn't take Gu Yanfei seriously, just like she did in her previous life.
Gu Yanfei ignored the strange atmosphere, walked up to Mrs. Gu calmly, and casually blessed her: "Mrs. Mrs."
Mrs. Gu, who was at the head, had a cold face and said nothing. Gu Yanfei didn't care. After seeing the ceremony, she sat down on her own.
Ever since Gu Yanfei returned to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Gu never asked her to come to the morning and evening night, and deliberately kept her cold. This was Mrs. Gu's attitude, letting everyone in the Hou Mansion know that she didn't like Gu Yanfei.
However, Gu Yanfei has remained unmoved during these days.
Mrs. Gu wouldn't let her pay her respects, so Gu Yanfei naturally didn't go.
Just like now, Gu Yanfei didn't care at all about Mrs. Gu's indifference and disregard. She sat elegantly, leisurely and contented in this stalemate atmosphere, not feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable.
Whether it was Mrs. Gu's indifference, the British father-in-law's contempt, or Fang Mingfeng's resentment, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her.
After pretending to take two sips of tea, the British princess put down the Magu Xian Birthday pastel tea cup in her hand and took the lead in breaking the silence: "Do you really want to regret your marriage?"
Mrs. Fang's tone was quite restrained, but she could not hide the aggressive tone in it.
"..." Mrs. Gu straightened her lips.
Naturally, she didn't want to regret the marriage. To regret the marriage would mean that the Gu family had completely offended the Fang family. Not only would the decades-old friendship between the two families cease to exist, but they would also become enemies. However, she was even more unwilling to marry Gu Yunkuang to Fang Mingfeng.
Although Fang Mingfeng was outstanding, he could not be compared with King Kang, not to mention that offending King Kang was obviously more serious than offending the Fang family.
Originally, Mrs. Gu could have used Gu Yanfei to frustrate the Fang family, but with Empress Dowager Yuan's golden words in front of her, even if Mrs. Gu insisted on using Gu Yanfei to replace her, it would not work.
While thinking, Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Yanfei on the other side from the corner of her eye, her forehead throbbing with pain.
This girl Gu Yanfei is a Sangmen star!
First, she killed her biological mother as soon as she was born. Fourteen years later, when she returned to the Marquis Mansion, she killed the Gu family, causing everything in the Gu family to go wrong and almost ruining Sister Kuang's promising future.
Mrs. Gu's eyes were dark, and she suddenly tightened the hand holding the string of Buddhist beads. The thoughts that had been lingering these days came to a conclusion at this moment -
If these two girls had not been secretly exchanged back then, perhaps the Hou Mansion would have been deprived of a family by Gu Yanfei in the past fourteen years.
Mrs. Gu suppressed the irritability in her heart, lowered her body, and sighed to Mrs. Fang: "Hey, it's my granddaughter who is unlucky..." She wanted to belittle Gu Yanfei, but after taking a look at Gu Yanfei, she felt like mentioning her.
The name was unlucky. He bit the tip of his tongue and let the salty smell spread into his mouth. "It's better to let this marriage go."
It was extremely difficult to say these last words, and Mrs. Gu's heart was bleeding.
Generally speaking, unless he wants to deliberately disgust the other party, even if one of the two parties cancels the engagement midway, for the sake of the woman's reputation, the man will not make a big fuss. Most of the time, he will cancel the engagement quietly and try not to cause any trouble.
Other people's attention, like this, is good for both parties.
Now Mrs. Gu's attitude has been made clear, that is, she agrees with the man to put all the faults on the woman. It is the woman who is unlucky, and it can be regarded as venting the man's anger.
"..." Mrs. Fang's expression was like a cloud, her delicate red hands were clasped tightly in her sleeves, and her eyes flashed with emotions mixed with resentment, shame, and hesitation.
This is simply a great shame and humiliation for the Fang family! Mrs. Fang wanted to just walk away, but she held it back.
Of course, Gu Yanfei could hear Mrs. Gu's meaning, and even caught the indignation and hesitation in Mrs. Fang's eyes, and a hint of thoughtfulness arose in her heart.
Gu Yunzhuang's "life experience is unknown" now. With her status in the British government, Mrs. Fang would not be reluctant to part with her daughter-in-law. As for herself, judging from the experience of her previous life, Mrs. Fang looked down on herself at all.
Therefore, when things have come to this point, it stands to reason that Mrs. Fang will break off the engagement as a matter of course.
So, what is she hesitating about?!
In my previous life, I was really blind and blind. I turned a blind eye to these unreasonable places and closed myself in a small world...
