Chapter 35: You’re Lying

Gu Fei swallowed and said: “I went to the bank to pick them up this morning.”

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she knew she had said the wrong thing.

As expected, Xiao Yu’s face suddenly turned cold: “You’re lying!”

“The gold of Daying doesn’t have such a good color and luster. Also, it would not have crooked symbols engraved on it. Where did this gold come from?”

“And who are you? Where do you come from, and what is the purpose of approaching me?”

Gu Zhang looked at Gu Fei anxiously from the side. His daughter had magical abilities, but they shouldn’t let anyone know about it. Who knew if these noble people might have any bad intentions?

Gu Fei lowered her eyes and clutched her skirt tightly: “It is true that these golds are not from Daying, but I can’t tell the origin.”

“I have no intention of getting close to the young master.”

“I don’t even know what the young master’s name is, nor where your family is.”

“I just want to redeem the second young lady, I don’t have any other purpose.”

She looked up at Xiao Yu with a magnanimous look: “Whether you believe it or not, Young Master, I can only say this much.”

Xiao Yu looked at Gu Fei again.

He didn’t feel it when they met for the first time, but now the more he looked at this young lady, the more strange she became. The gold she took out, and the telescope she gave him, he was sure that they were not from Daying.

Where did this girl come from?

Could she be a spy from the enemy country?

Gu Fei looked at Xiao Yu and said: “Young Master, if you have no other instructions, then we will leave first. We still have something to do at home.”

Xiao Yu snorted coldly: “Did I let you go?”

Gu Fei lowered her head: “I wonder if you have any other instructions, Young Master?”

Xiao Yu was a little angry. Even if he was suspicious, he was no reason to detain these people here.

Besides, he felt that he was a reasonable person and would not do anything to this young lady just because of suspicion.

He snorted: “You can go.”

Gu Fei bowed deeply at Xiao Yu and said: “Thank you, Young Master, for helping me twice. If I have the chance in the future, I will repay you for your great kindness.”

After saying that, Gu Fei pulled the second young lady, Gu Zhang quickly followed, and the three of them left in a hurry.

Xiao Yu squinted his eyes: “Tell Old He, to find someone to keep an eye on them quietly, and let me know if there is any news. I always feel that this girl is not simple.”

Gu Fei and others got on the carriage outside. Gu Zhang and Boss Zhang were sitting outside. Gu Fei asked the second young lady: “What are your plans for the future? Do you have any relatives you can go to?”

The Second Young Lady shook her head repeatedly: “No, my aunt died early, my uncle and the others stopped interacting with me a long time ago. I have nowhere else to go.”

She grabbed Gu Fei’s hand tightly and said: “Xiao Fei, I’m sorry, I owe you so much money, but I don’t know how to pay you back. From now on, I’ll just be your maid, okay?”

Gu Fei smiled and said: “Don’t talk about me being a maidservant. Since you have nowhere to go, just come home with me. But my home is just an ordinary farmhouse. The food, clothing, and housing are very rough. I’m afraid you’ll feel uncomfortable.”

The Second Young Lady said seriously: “No, I can endure any hardship. Compared with Madam Hou and my several sisters, I am lucky enough to be free.”

When she was following Shitou, she looked back and saw Madam Hou’s jealous eyes. Her eyes almost ate her up.

Gu Fei nodded: “Okay, let’s buy some clothes to change first.”

After saying this, Gu Fei remembered that she had no money at all and had to go find some brothers to get money first.

Just as she was thinking about it, Gu Zhang’s voice came from outside the carriage: “Erlang——”
