Chapter 402 - 402: Bewitched (1)



“Oh.” The surprise on Gu Yanfei’s face disappeared in an instant. She raised her eyebrows and muttered softly, “Interesting.”

She was just talking to herself and her voice wasn’t loud.

However, Gu Yuan had sharp ears and heard it clearly. He asked, “What’s interesting?”

Gu Yanfei smiled and didn’t answer, revealing a pair of shallow dimples. She casually picked a spring flower from the branch and twirled it casually between her fingers.

Gu Yuan was just asking casually and didn’t dwell on it. He immediately said to himself, “Sister, after the second branch moves away, this house will be empty. I plan to lock half of the courtyard…”

The residence they were living in now was given to them by Emperor Taizu when they were conferred the title of nobility. It was done according to the rules of the Marquis.

The Emperor didn’t take back the residence because of the conquest. It was a gift for them to continue living here, but they had to show some attitude.

Gu Yanfei knew that his brother was just chatting with her casually and also responded casually.

They made small talk and talked about how they planned to transfer Wu Tong’s father back to the residence. They talked about how Granny Zhuang’s injuries were almost healed and how he planned to get her to come to the residence to help Gu Yanfei. They also talked about their plans to renovate Chenghui Garden.

The two of them walked and talked all the way to the ceremonial door.

Gu Yuan had been busy with work recently and had taken half a day off to split up the family. Now that he had done what he needed to, he planned to go back quickly.

Unexpectedly, in addition to his beloved foal, there was also a black-painted flat-top carriage parked at the entrance.

Gu Yuan recognized his sister’s carriage at a glance. Seeing that she was going out, he smiled and said, “Sister, I’ll send you off.”

“Sure.” Gu Yanfei didn’t stand on ceremony with her brother at all. “I’ve arranged to go to the Water Mirror Building to watch the show. It’s on the way.”

Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang had agreed that they would never go to the Tianyin Pavilion again. Wei Jiaoniang found a new theater and the two of them arranged to watch a show today.

Gu Yuan also knew about the Water Mirror Tower. He smiled and said, “The actors at Water Mirror Tower aren’t bad.”

Gu Yuan felt that a girl of his sister’s age should go out more and not stay in Yuheng Garden every day. She was even more of a homebody than her cat was.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the siblings’ carriage left, they bumped into Wei Jiaoniang’s personal maidservant.

“Xi Que?” Gu Yanfei opened a corner of the curtain of the carriage.

Xi Que bowed to Gu Yan in the carriage and said in embarrassment, “Second Lady Gu, my Ninth Miss caught a cold last night and was detained in the house by the Duchess. She’s not allowed to go out.”

“Miss asked me to tell Second Lady Gu that she’ll ask you out another day.”

Since Gu Yanfei had nothing to do, she said, “Then 1’11 go and see her.”

Gu Yuan sent his sister off, and Xi Que followed behind in the British Mansion’s carriage.

Although Gu Yanfei visited without informing her, everyone in the British Mansion knew that she was on good terms with their Ninth Miss. The gatekeeper respectfully welcomed her in.

The green-clothed maidservant first led Gu Yan to the main courtyard to greet Imperial Duchess Wei, leading her all the way to the quiet and elegant left room.

“Yanfei, you’re really considerate.” A hearty smile appeared on Imperial Duchess Wei’s handsome face. When she smiled, a few wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, softening her slightly tough contours.

She had already heard from the servant girl that Gu Yanfei had specially come to visit Wei Jiaoniang.

Gu Yanfei smiled generously and said calmly, “I’m here to see Jiaoniang and pay my respects to you.”

Imperial Duchess Wei wasn’t the only one in the room. There were others around as well.

Sitting at the bottom was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She had an oval face, crescent eyebrows, willowy eyes, and a refined appearance.

The beautiful woman was wearing 10 types of begonias and red brocade flowers. Inside was a frosty white silk collared middle shirt with a white threaded dress. A pair of dragonfly-patterned lotus shoesweres revealed under the skirt, making her look elegant and noble.

Other than the beautiful woman, there were also two children, a boy and a girl. They were both six or seven years old. The two children had fair skin and were very beautiful. However, their personalities were very different. The boy was arrogant, and the girl was quiet.

“Yanfei, this is Jiaoniang’s 12th aunt. You haven’t seen her before, right…” Imperial Duchess Wei introduced her to both parties with a smile.

Only then did Gu Yanfei know that this elegant and beautiful woman was Imperial Duke Wei’s youngest sister, the Madam of Ji’an, Wei Wan.

These children were a pair of twins under the Duchess’s knees. Their names were Xu Luo and Xu Yao.

After Gu Yanfei bowed to Wei Wan, the pair of twins also went forward and bowed to Gu Yan..
