Chapter 150 Counterattack
150 Counterattack
Gu Yanfei neither moved nor said anything, and only slightly raised her eyebrows.
Memories from her previous life instantly rolled over again, and ripples appeared in her eyes again…
All the women around looked at Yu Chaoyun and Gu Yanfei.
Everyone present was not stupid and immediately heard the hidden hostility in Yu Chaoyun’s words.
The servant from the Yu family was here, but Yu Chaoyun asked Gu Yanfei, a stranger, to bend down and pick up the golden collar for her. Wasn’t she treating her like a maidservant?
She had to pick the softest persimmon.
Among Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin, there were the Wei family, the General’s Manor that guarded the border, and the Earl’s Manor that controlled the military power of a province. They were all popular families.
Only Gu Yanfei came from the declining Dingyuan Marquis Household.
The reason why Yu Chaoyun chose Gu Yanfei to put her in her place was obvious.
This girl from the Yu family was not ordinary.
The other women from the aristocratic families exchanged glances with different expressions. They were either looking forward to it, frowning, smiling ambiguously, or stroking their sleeves indifferently.
These n.o.ble women dared to be rude to the aristocratic families and provoke their authority. If Yu Chaoyun could teach Gu Yanfei a lesson and make her bend down, she could also avenge them.
Feeling everyone’s gazes on her, Yu Chaoyun’s lips curled up a little more. She smiled and said, “Pick it up.”
The first sentence was polite, but when it came to this sentence, it was already arrogant and sharp.
Yu Chaoyun smiled and stared at Gu Yanfei, silently pressuring her.
Yu Chaoyun had just arrived and had yet to gain a foothold in the capital. Today was the best opportunity to establish her might.
After making up her mind, Yu Chaoyun slowly stroked her sleeve and said with a smile, “I heard that Miss Gu’s brother is currently working as an imperial guard. What a coincidence. My aunt-in-law, the British Duke, is currently in charge of the imperial guard.”
Her tone was gentle and slow, as if she was chatting with Gu Yanfei. A determined glint flashed across her eyes.
The girl in yellow and the girl in pink looked at each other meaningfully and covered their mouths to laugh.
Interesting. Miss Yu should have just arrived in the capital a few days ago. They did not expect her to figure out the situation in the capital and the twists and turns between the various prefectures in just a few days and know how to take advantage of the situation.
The Gu family’s eldest branch had an awkward position. Gu Yanfei’s brother was her only relative, and it was only human nature for her to consider his future.
Next, it depended on whether Gu Yanfei dared to risk her brother’s future.
This was no longer a quarrel between a few girls, but a compet.i.tion between the aristocratic families and n.o.bles.
Meeting Yu Chaoyun’s arrogant face, Gu Yanfei’s eyes were a little dazed, and she forgot where she was.
In her previous life, she had a hard time living in the Marquis Mansion and was deep in the mud. Only Yu Chaoyun took the initiative to show her kindness, be gentle, and be considerate, making her treat Yu Chaoyun as her only friend.
After Yu Chaoyun betrayed her, she asked why Yu Chaoyun wanted to destroy her and her brother’s only way out.
At that moment, Yu Chaoyun also had the same expression. She asked the maidservant to push her to the ground and step on her right palm…
Humans’ fingers were connected to their hearts, and the piercing pain was still engraved in Gu Yanfei’s hearts.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Yanfei was already filled with thoughts. Soon, the ripples in her eyes disappeared, and she looked at Yu Chaoyun calmly.
It was as if she was looking at a complete stranger.
There was silence, and time seemed to have stopped in that instant. Even the wind had stopped.
Although the two sides did not fight or shout at each other, the tension in the air could not be hidden, and anyone with eyes could tell.
Not far away, Baili Yin also inadvertently noticed the commotion here.
Eh?
He immediately saw Gu Yanfei in the crowd and stopped his horse. His interested gaze darted between the girls before landing on Gu Yanfei’s slender figure.
The bright-eyed and beautiful girl stood out just by standing there, making the surrounding girls look like commoners.
Sigh. Baili Yin sighed silently in his heart. No wonder the little beauty was targeted and troubled.
Baili Yin had been used to seeing concubines fighting since he was young in the palace. The fights between women were the most interesting. They fought for men, status, jewelry, new clothes… and jealousy.
