Gu Yanfei said calmly, "So the Duke's wife is here to help the Crown Prince and my third sister break off their engagement. Then it's inconvenient for me to stay here."
As she stood up, her skirt flowed down like running water, and her white clothes fluttered.
“…” Madam Gu frowned and her expression changed.
Gu Yanfei tilted his head and smiled, then asked innocently, "I heard that Third Sister and the Prince had already signed a contract, isn't that right?"
"Since Grandmother has approved the proposal of His Royal Highness Prince Kang, it is only right that we cancel the engagement."
Gu Yanfei uttered the shocking words in a serious tone. To Fang Mingfeng, these words were like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky.
Fang Mingfeng's face turned pale and he stood up in a panic, bumping his body into the chair with a clattering sound.
Propose a marriage?! "What did you say?!" Fang Mingfeng asked harshly, without any trace of his usual dignity and arrogance, as if someone had hit him in a sore spot.
Madam Gu's face darkened even more, and she shouted, "Gu Yanfei!" What nonsense is this girl talking about again! Gu Yanfei stopped talking and just said, "I'll take my leave first."
The moment she turned around, Fang Mingfeng could no longer hold back and rushed forward like an angry lion, standing in front of Gu Yanfei.
"Speak clearly!"
Fang Mingfeng was half a head taller than Gu Yanfei. He glared down at her, his handsome face distorted with anger.
He made a lightning-fast move, trying to grab Gu Yanfei's wrist, but Gu Yanfei dodged it lightly.
Fang Mingfeng caught nothing, and for him, this was like adding fuel to the fire. For a moment, new and old grudges came flooding back, burning him to the point of losing all reason.
He took off the decorative whip from his waist and whipped Gu Yanfei directly...
The whip swung out a whip flower, which came through the air like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, making a crisp crackling sound.
The Duchess of England turned a blind eye and picked up the teacup with an indifferent expression, intending to give the Gu family a warning.
Letting her son marry such a wild girl was already an injustice to her son, but this girl was so ungrateful!
The maids around all looked pale and gasped, looking at the black whip shadow rapidly lashing towards Gu Yanfei's delicate skin in horror. Some of them could not bear to watch any longer.
However, something even more shocking happened to them.
Gu Yanfei just moved sideways a step and just avoided the whip. His posture and steps were light, agile and graceful, as light as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon.
She snatched the whip from Fang Mingfeng's hand deftly and then whipped him.
“Bang!”
The sound of the whip hitting flesh clearly exploded in the air. The sound was obviously not loud, but others felt that even their eardrums were vibrated.
There was another blood-red whip mark on the left half of Fang Mingfeng's face, which was already spotted with spots. The old wound had not yet healed, and a new one had appeared, which was truly shocking.
The surroundings fell into an extremely strange silence and everyone was stunned.
The Duchess of England stood up from her chair in a state of dismay. She had never expected that such a skinny country girl could be so aggressive.
She was trembling with anger, and her expression showed not only shock, disgust, and anger, but also heartache for her son. She only had one son and one daughter, both of whom were her treasures.
Fang Mingfeng: “…”
Fang Mingfeng glared at Gu Yanfei fiercely, aiming at his prey like a hungry wolf hunting. The burning pain on his face told him that everything that had just happened was not a dream.
Blood flowed down his cheek, dripping onto the mirror-smooth ground.
Looking at the embarrassed Fang Mingfeng, Gu Yanfei spoke clearly again: "Fang Mingfeng, in terms of status, you can't compete with King Kang."
Her half-smiling gaze swept across Fang Mingfeng's face, which was covered with new and old wounds, and she ended her smile with a sigh, which was like stabbing him twice in the heart.
Fang Mingfeng: “…”
"What are you going to use to compete with King Kang?" Gu Yanfei stared into his eyes and said word by word.
Fang Mingfeng's teeth were gritting and her eyes were blazing, as if to say that it was all her fault.
"Gu Yanfei, are you crazy?!" Lady Yingguo was so angry that she wanted to have Gu Yanfei dragged away and beaten with a stick thirty times. How dare a girl from a declining marquis's mansion whip her son!
In response to this, Gu Yanfei whipped out another whip with his backhand, hitting Fang Mingfeng accurately in the face.
“Bang!”
Fang Mingfeng's bun was pulled loose, and his hair was scattered on half of his face, mixed with the blood on his face. A few strands of hair floated to the ground.
The Duke of England's heart twitched again, her face turned pale, and she sternly ordered the servants: "What are you still standing there for! Hurry and arrest him!"
The two maids from the Fang family responded nervously and wanted to step forward to snatch the whip from Gu Yanfei's hand.
Unfortunately, they couldn't get close to Gu Yanfei at all. Another whip whistled, scaring the two old women so much that they took two steps back. Then another "pop" sound was heard.
Gu Yanfei's third whip hit Fang Mingfeng's left calf hard.
Fang Mingfeng groaned in pain and staggered to the ground.
He looked up at Gu Yanfei who was a few steps away, and happened to meet the girl's dark and clear pupils.
The light softly outlines the girl's delicate eyebrows and eyes. Under her long eyelashes, there is a faint flash of sharpness in her eyes. The whole person is like a sword drawn from its sheath, with its edge exposed.
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion were dumbfounded. They never expected that so many people could be helpless against their second young lady.
Gu Yanfei looked at the Lady of the Duke of England again, his eyes clear, and asked calmly: "Lady of the Duke of England, do you want to do it yourself?"
As he spoke, Gu Yanfei calmly and composedly swung a beautiful whip. His movements were neat, with a hint of arrogance and intimidation.
"..." The Duchess of England was speechless for a moment, her breath stuck in her throat, and she dared not move.
She had no doubt that if she dared to step forward, Gu Yanfei's next whip would hit her son!
"Then I'm leaving." Gu Yanfei smiled slightly, shrugged, turned around and left in a cool manner.
After stepping out of the hall, she threw the whip in her hand away and left without looking back.
Fang Mingfeng's heart was filled with hatred, like the storm and waves on a rainy night, wishing he could tear everything into pieces.
The moment Gu Yanfei's first whip hit his face, Fang Mingfeng clearly realized one fact: Gu Yanfei was not pretending, she really didn't want to marry him.
Not only that, she is still using herself... In order to take revenge on Gu Yunmeng, she can use any means, regardless of the reputation of both families, just to vent her repressed anger for the past fourteen years.
This woman was not only vulgar, but also scheming. To achieve her goal, she even acted with a bit of unpredictable madness, trampling him to the ground again and again.
He told himself that he must not fall into the trap of this femme fatale and must not let her get what she wanted.
However, even though he knew it clearly in his heart, Fang Mingfeng felt as if his heart was being burned by fire and was extremely tormented whenever he thought about Gu Yunmeng marrying Prince Kang.
