The entire Gu residence was in an uproar with the arrival of Madam Gu. The servants in the residence had been guarding Danyang City for many years and had never seen the old lord of the marquisate, so they were somewhat fearful and terrified.

Surrounded by the crowd, Madam Gu went to the main hall and sat down. The maid quickly served her tea and snacks.

Madam Gu drank her tea slowly. When she was halfway through the cup, a slender figure appeared outside the hall and walked towards her.

Gu Yanfei was wearing a casual sky-blue skirt. Her slender waist was so thin that it could be held in one hand. Her black hair was casually tied up in a bun. Except for the ribbon for her hair, she had no jewelry on her body.

As the beautiful and charming girl walked towards them, her every move and gesture was as leisurely as if she was strolling in the garden, and she was cool and elegant.

Madam Gu nodded secretly and thought: Nanny Xu's three months of training has achieved some results. Although this girl is a fool at heart, her manners are not as bad as imagined.

"Second Miss Gu" was going to marry into the Duke of England's mansion. If her behavior was too vulgar, the Duke of England's mansion might not be willing to have such a daughter-in-law, and then the marriage between the two families would turn into enmity.

However, this girl's temper is too wild and she needs to be taught a lesson.

Gu Yanfei lifted her skirt and walked into the main hall.

After two hundred years, Gu Yanfei felt very calm when she saw her grandmother again.

She once had high expectations for her grandmother, but after repeated disappointments, she finally understood a cruel fact: in Madam Gu's heart, she would never be as good as Gu Yunyan.

It was Madam Gu who personally fanned the flames, making her a stepping stone for Gu Yunmeng, helping Gu Yunmeng to rise step by step.

In the end, Gu Yun'er became the model mother of the country, while Gu Yanfei died at a young age in a tragic way.

The pain of those years seemed to still be engraved in her bones. Gu Yanfei looked deeply at Madam Gu, a hint of mockery flashing across her calm eyes.

Look, for the future of her precious granddaughter, no matter how reluctant she was, she still came to Danyang City and humbled herself to pick up her unwanted granddaughter.

Gu Yanfei stopped a few steps away. Before she could speak, she heard the other party's command in an unquestionable tone: "Pack up quickly, we will leave for Beijing immediately."

Madam Gu looked cold and distant, with a condescending attitude.

Gu Yanfei didn't care about the other party's indifference at all and stood there leisurely.

Of course she would return to Beijing, but not now.

You can't leave now.

Gu Yanfei said calmly, "Madam, you must be tired after all this journey. There is no rush to return to the capital today. Why not talk about it tomorrow?"

She didn't call her grandmother, but "Madam".

Madam Gu raised her eyebrows silently, thinking that this girl was quite sensible and did not fawn on her before she had acknowledged her ancestry.

Madam Gu hesitated and glanced at the leak on the side of the kettle.

It is almost the afternoon now, neither too early nor too late. Even if they set out within an incense stick of time and hurry as fast as they can, they may not be able to reach the post station before dark.

Besides, after traveling for several days, Mrs. Gu was indeed tired.

The blue-dressed girl at the bottom could see Madam Gu's fatigue and hesitation, and gently advised: "Grandma, Second Sister is right, why don't we rest for a night before leaving. We are not in a hurry anyway."

The girl wore a light blue silk jacket carved with plum, orchid and bamboo patterns, and a horse-faced skirt with bamboo green trim. She had a head of thick black hair tied up in a bun with her hair parted on top. She had long eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose and pink lips, and was pretty and gentle.

Gu Yanfei gave her a kind smile, his eyes curved.

Madam Gu wanted to give Gu Yanfei the cold shoulder, so she took the step that Gu Yunzhen handed over and came down: "Sister Zhen, we have to travel tomorrow, you should rest early tonight."

What this means is that I agree to stay here one more night.

An old maid with a round face said quickly, "Madam, I have asked someone to clean up the room. Why don't you go to your room and rest for a while?"

Madam Gu rubbed her brows tiredly and asked the old nanny to lead the way.

Gu Yanfei was the only one left in the empty hall, and she seemed to have been forgotten.

A faint cat's meow outside the window entered her ears.

“Meow…”

The cat's cry was faint and Gu Yanfei looked out the window in the direction of the sound. There was not a breath of wind in the courtyard and the trees were not moving at all.

"I seemed to hear a cat's meow..." Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows.

"Cat?" Juanbi stretched her neck and looked out the window.

As soon as he finished speaking, a fluffy, soft ball flew in from the window and landed steadily on the windowsill.

This is a calico kitten no more than two months old.

The tip of its nose is pink, and its body is fluffy, with long black, orange and white hair blended together just right. Its small round face is embedded with a pair of round green eyes, like a pair of top-quality emeralds, sparkling in the sun.

Gu Yanfei and the kitten looked into each other's eyes. The pair of emerald green pupils were full of light, clear and lively, giving Gu Yanfei an inexplicably familiar feeling.

“Meow!”

Maotuanzi let out a soft and sweet cry of joy, his blue eyes filled with surprise, as if saying, Found it!

It kicked its legs hard and flew towards Gu Yanfei, with the momentum of a young swallow returning to its nest.

The little guy moved very quickly, but if Gu Yanfei really wanted to dodge, it would be easy.

She didn't move. For some reason, she felt that the pair of clear green cat eyes looked familiar, and the way it pounced towards her also gave her a familiar feeling.

"Kitten!"

Amid Juanbi's exclamation, the calico kitten enthusiastically threw itself into Gu Yanfei's arms. Gu Yanfei held its soft belly with one hand and touched its chin with the other, but the kitten bit the tip of his index finger with a howl.

The bright red blood overflowed from the fingertips, forming blood beads the size of rice grains.

The kitten eagerly licked off the drop of blood with its rough little tongue, and its fluffy tail swung happily behind it.

Gu Yanfei narrowed her eyes and felt as if there was an invisible heartstring connecting her to the little kitten in her arms.

She lifted the kitten higher, letting its green eyes meet hers, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Qingguang? Why are you here too?"

"How did you turn into a cat?"
