Chapter 9

"..." Nanny Xu flicked her sleeves fiercely, she really couldn't stay in this damn place for a moment.

She just turned around, and heard Gu Yanfei say slowly behind her: "By the way, Mommy remember to leave the monthly money before leaving."

Nanny Xu paused, then turned back, met Gu Yanfei's eyes, and said eccentrically, "Didn't the second girl refuse to go back to the Hou's Mansion? I thought you were going to separate yourself from the Hou's Mansion!"

A country girl is just a country girl, she really got into the eyes of money, and she is still thinking about the money of the Hou Mansion!

Gu Yanfei took off a gold inlaid jade bracelet with a carved swallow pattern from her wrist, gave it to Juan Bi, and said, "Pawn it."

Of course, Nanny Xu knew this bracelet. All the jewelry of the second girl was prepared by Mrs. Tai, and each piece was engraved with the mark of Dingyuan Houfu.

The pair of earrings that were pawned have not been redeemed yet. If this bracelet is pawned again, wouldn't it confirm the rumors about the decline of the Hou Mansion? !

Nanny Xu gritted her molars unwillingly: "I'll ask someone to withdraw the monthly money."

"Juanbi, you go with Nanny Xu and take all my monthly money for the past three months." Gu Yanfei told Juanbi with a smile.

Nanny Xu's face was ashen, and veins appeared on her neck.

She thought it would be enough to give out one month's monthly money, but she didn't expect this country girl to be so greedy, asking for three months as soon as she asked.

The money should have belonged to her!

Nanny Xu's heart was bleeding, feeling as if a piece of her heart had been gouged out, she left in a state of distraught.

She must return to Beijing as soon as possible to report to Mrs. Tai, otherwise, if something goes wrong in this marriage between Gu and Fang, she will be finished! !

Half an hour later, Madam Xu's carriage left Danyang City, traveling at full speed, day and night.

As soon as she returned to the Dingyuanhou's Mansion in the capital, she didn't care about washing up. The first thing she did was to rush to the Cihe Hall, and cried aggrievedly:

"Mrs. Madam, although I dare not say that I have devoted all my energy and effort these days, I did my best to teach the second girl, but the second girl misunderstood the servant, thinking that the servant is deliberately embarrassing her!"

"..."

"The second girl grew up outside, and she is used to the old days. She always likes to run out and stay away from home. The carriage had an accident that day, and the servant just tried to persuade her, and the second girl made a move on the servant..."

"That's how the servant's front tooth was knocked out."

Nanny Xu vividly described Gu Yanfei as a vulgar, ignorant and uneducated wild girl.

A cloisonné enamel incense burner is placed in a corner of the east room, quietly exhaling curling cigarettes.

A graceful old woman in her fifties was sitting on a bed of red sandalwood with swastika pattern. She was wearing a maroon-colored beige with ten patterns of brocade makeup. She was twirling a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. There are black holes on the row of front teeth, and there is no expression of happiness or anger.

An old woman with silver hair next to her persuaded softly: "Mrs. Tai calm down, the second girl is still young."

"Still young? This is almost too late." Mrs. Gu sighed lowly, "What a crime."

"..." The old mama fell silent for a moment.

This incident is a scandal in the Hou family.

The Marquis of Dingyuan has practiced martial arts for generations, and Gu Ce, the first Marquis, is the eldest son of Mrs. Gu.

In the sixth year of Xuanren, Gu Ce and his wife Xie Shi guarded Sishui County in Yangzhou. They did not want to be attacked by South Vietnam, and Xie Shi, who was pregnant for seven months, was arranged by Gu Ce to leave Sishui County.

Nanyue got the news from nowhere, and sent people to chase after Xie, trying to use Xie to coerce Gu Ce to surrender.

Xie was frightened on the road and gave birth prematurely, and died after giving birth to a baby girl. The nurse Su Niang fled all the way with the baby girl in her arms, and it took several months before she fled back to the capital.

No one would have thought that Su Niang would secretly pass her own daughter as the prostitute of the Gu family, exchanging the fake for the real, and kept this secret for fourteen years.

It wasn't until Su Niang's gambler husband came to her door half a year ago and secretly blackmailed Su Niang, but was discovered by Mrs. Gu, and then the truth about the real daughter was revealed.

"Mrs. Tai," Madam Xu pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and at the same time glanced at Mrs. Gu Tai from the corner of her eyes, and muttered uneasily, "There is one more thing about Fang Shizi." ..."

"Mingfeng?" Mrs. Gu stopped twirling the beads, her brows slightly frowned.

"It's the Prince of England." Nanny Xu swallowed, and then released the heavy hammer at the right time, "The second girl ran into Prince Fang in Danyang City by chance, she... She ran to tell Prince Fang privately, the two of them Let go of the family marriage!"

"The second girl also said that she will not return to Beijing unless...unless you go to Danyang City to pick her up in person."

Nanny Xu avoided the seriousness and pushed all the mistakes to Gu Yanfei, she lowered her head and tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

"Snapped!"

Mrs. Gu slapped the coffee table heavily, her lips were tightly pressed, and her whole body was shrouded in a thick cloud.

For this second granddaughter who has never met, Mrs. Gu can't say whether she likes or hates it.

To her, Gu Yunxie is the granddaughter she brought up with her own hands, the granddaughter she is proud of.

Gu Yunxie is good in everything, from appearance, temperament to talent and learning, all of them are top-notch, everyone in the capital praises them, and even won Kang Wang's favor.

King Kang is the son of the present empress dowager. After ascending the throne, he will be granted the title of prince. If Gu Yunxie can become Concubine Kang, it will naturally be the icing on the cake for their Dingyuanhou Mansion.

However, the Gu family and the Fang family had a marriage contract long ago, and when the old Hou Ye was alive, he betrothed the eldest daughter of the eldest house to the British prince Fang Mingfeng.

Once the marriage is divorced, the Gu family will inevitably be said to be treacherous and clinging to the powerful.

After much deliberation, Mrs. Gu decided to bring back the "real" eldest daughter.

In this way, not only can the marriage of Gu and Fang be fulfilled, but also the reputation of the Gu family and Gu Yunxie will not be affected.

Mrs. Gu has repeatedly considered the pros and cons, and is mentally prepared. This second granddaughter grew up in the countryside since she was a child. If she hasn't been carefully trained for half a year, she may not be able to meet people, but she didn't expect her to be so vulgar!

That's all for being vulgar and stupid, but the problem is that this girl didn't know her self, and she dared to go to Fang Mingfeng to speak nonsense, and she simply humiliated the Gu family!

Mrs. Gu raised her eyelids, and said slowly: "I asked you to take good care of the second girl, that's how you do things?!"

Her voice was as cold as ice scum.

Nanny Xu cursed Gu Yanfei thousands of times in her heart, she quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake: "I am ashamed, I really have nothing to do with the second girl."

After the words fell, there was an oppressive silence in Dongci room, and the air was stagnant.

The maidservants serving beside them all lowered their heads silently.

At this moment, the clear voice of the little maid came from outside the door curtain, breaking the silence: "Second...Third Miss!"

The air in the room suddenly loosened.

The next moment, the door curtain was lifted from the outside, and a beautiful, slender girl came in from the main room outside carrying tea.

The soft lines outline a clear oval face, the complexion is as fair as jade, the brows are pink, the eyes are like stars, when smiling, there are a pair of lovely dimples on both sides of the cheeks, the temperament is smart and amiable, which makes people feel at ease at first sight Have a good impression.

The girl combed double flat buns, wore a pair of ruby ​​gold silk butterfly bead flowers inlaid on her head, and wore a bright red skirt embroidered with folded branches of begonia flowers. When she walked, her figure was graceful and slender, and her steps were light and elegant.

Her arrival was like a ray of warm spring breeze blowing into the house that was originally as cold as the wind.
