“If you can’t borrow luck successfully, there will definitely be a backlash.” A thought-provoking smile appeared on Gu Yanfei’s face. “Madam should understand this logic, right?’
“This is just the beginning.”
Staring straight into Madam Yu’s eyes, Gu Yanfei spoke slowly with an extremely slow voice. Her threatening tone was obvious.
” ” Madam Yu’s eyes widened. She couldn’t hide the panic in her eyes.
She thought that the current situation was already the worst moment of her life, but Gu Yanfei actually said that it had just started? Madam Yu wanted to speak, but her throat felt dry and tight.
Gu Yanfei sighed and said, “Next, you will…”
Madam Yu’s heart was in her throat. She waited for Gu Yanfei to continue, but what came was a long silence that was almost suffocating.
The other party’s cold eyes made Madam Yu’s hair stand on end.
Gu Yanfei chuckled and casually brushed a leaf off her shoulder. She used this action to gently press her chest.
Facing Madam Yu, she no longer felt the shackles and oppression that she used to feel.
“I’m just here to see Madam. I don’t have anything else to do.” Gu Yanfei turned around without hesitation and walked away. “I’ll take my leave first. ‘
Gu Yanfei only said half of what she wanted to say, but she passed it off so easily. This made Madam Yu even more uneasy.
She wanted to stop Gu Yanfei and let her finish her sentence, but she couldn’t swallow her pride.
It was harder for Madam Yu to lower her head in front of such a wild girl than to make her kneel.
He Lie and the Embroidered Uniform Guards looked at Gu Yanfei in shock. They didn ‘t expect Second Lady Gu to really just come to see the British Duchess.
Yu Chaoyun, who was in the rear hall, stared at Gu Yanfei’s receding figure. She couldn’t help but think of the first time she saw Gu Yanfei at the hunting ground in Upper Forest Garden. Yu Chaoyun herself was high up in the air and surrounded by all the girls from the aristocratic families.
But now, she was locked up here like a bird in a cage. Meanwhile, Gu Yanfei didn’t even bother to look at her.
Yu Chaoyun tried her best to suppress her surging emotions. She hid the unwillingness and resentment in her eyes and sat still.
No, she still had a chance.
Yu Chaoyun tried to calm herself down again and again.
Yes, I still have my cousin.
My cousin will never leave me alone.
At the thought of Fang Mingfeng, a hint of repression and tenderness appeared in Yu Chaoyun’s dark eyes. Her cousin was the person she yearned for the most but couldn’t get.
Yu Chaoyun stood up and went over to support Madam Yu. She said in a low voice, “Aunt, don’t panic. Uncle will come sooner or later…”
Hearing her niece mention the British Duke, Madam Yu was so angry that she blurted out without thinking, “1 want to see the British Duke!”
Madam Yu was angry and hateful. Her chest heaved up and down violently, and her eyes were bloodshot. She felt uneasy, as if countless ants were biting her.
She couldn’t wait any longer.
“He Lie, I’m a married woman. The law doesn’t punish married women. You
Embroidered Uniform Guards have no right to force me to stay here.” “I want to return to the British Mansion!”
“He Lie, the Emperor still respects our British Monarchy. You’re just a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, you ‘re nothing but a third- grade martial artist. You’re offending your superior!’
Madam Yu shouted and approached He Lie outside the hall. She was arrogant and tried to suppress him with her aura.
The British Monarchy had a large army that even the current Emperor had to be wary of.
10 years ago, the Duke killed the commander of the Five Cities Military
Department, Yang Shineng, on the streets without saying a word. The previous Emperor only appeased him and fined him a few months’ salary before gently letting the matter go.
However, He Lie wasn’t moved at all. He sneered disdainfully, “You don’t know what’s good for you.”
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was indeed only a third- grade martial artist, but he was the Emperor’s trusted aide. He Lie was naturally not a fool to be able to sit in this position.
He knew very well that the Yu Family was finished.
Even he knew how arrogant and unreasonable those so-called noble families in the royal court were.
The aristocratic families led by the Yuan Family formed a group.
Although the nobles had military power, most of them stood by and watched how the battle between the Emperor and Kang Wang would end. After all, the Emperor wasn’t young and was weak and sickly, while Kang Wang was young and strong.
It was hard to say in the future.
Even a boor like He Lie could see how difficult it was to be an Emperor.
The Emperor had long wanted to deal with the aristocratic families, but he had no name. He had to pry open a crack first before he could make a fuss.
Unexpectedly, the Yu Family would give him something to use against them and even make the entire capital know about this.
Now that the public was angry, no one could protect the Yu Family.
He Lie raised his hand and made a gesture, and the door to the hall closed agam..
