Chapter 136 Discord

136 Discord
It was the twelfth lunar month in the bitter winter, and even if the rising sun rose, there was no warmth.
These thin sheds could not block the mountain wind at all. The strong cold wind blew Gu Yanfei’s hair slightly, and a few strands of hair blew into her eyes.
Gu Yanfei seemed not to notice.
Why was Yu Chaoyun in the capital at this time?!
!!
Yu Chaoyun was Fang Mingfeng’s cousin and the niece of the British Duchess.
In her previous life, Yu Chaoyun arrived in the capital in February of the following year and specially went to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to pay her respects to Madam Gu.
At that time, Yu Chaoyun took the initiative to show goodwill, saying that she had no sisters and felt like Gu Yanfei was her friend at first sight.
Yu Chaoyun’s maidservant secretly told Gu Yanfei that Yu Chaoyun had lost her mother when she was a year old, and her father had married her stepmother. Outsiders only thought that her stepmother was virtuous, but she was actually sarcastic and mean to Yu Chaoyun.
Back then, Gu Yanfei felt that she was in the same boat as Yu Chaoyun and treated her as a close friend. Unexpectedly, when she could finally bring her seriously injured brother away from the Gu family’s man-eating hell, Yu Chaoyun actually stabbed her ruthlessly in the back and completely cut off her last escape route…
The pain she had experienced in her previous life surged towards her again. Gu Yanfei felt her heart churning like boiling water, and her eyes were stained with blood.
“Miss Yu,” someone called out to Yu Chaoyun.
Yu Chaoyun glanced over, and the pearl earrings the size of lotus seed rice on her ears swayed. The pure gold butterfly collar on her neck shone in the sunlight, and the two pairs of butterfly wings embedded with seven treasures, as thin as cicada wings, trembled slightly, like a real pair of colorful butterflies stopping on her shoulder.
Wei Jiaonang, Lu Qin, and the others watched this scene in a daze without moving for a long time.
“Wow!” The girl in blue let out a low exclamation between her lips. She pointed at Yu Chaoyun’s hairpin and said, “The hairpin she’s wearing is the signature of this season!”
“And the material of her clothes should be brocade!”
“…”
“Look, the tea bowl she’s using must be a Jian ware black-glazed hare’s fur bowl…”
The girls gathered together and talked non-stop, but none of the young masters could interrupt.
Wei Jiaoniang frowned and whispered into Gu Yanfei’s ear disapprovingly, “These so-called noble families love to put on an act!”
“You don’t look like you’re here to hunt in that outfit.”
“Why did you come to the hunting ground if you’re not here to hunt?”
“Wait and watch, in a while, they’ll definitely despise the smell of blood and say that we’re vulgar and cruel.”
The blood in Gu Yanfei’s eyes had already been suppressed and returned to its original clarity. Her gaze swept across the dignified and elegant noble ladies.
From the beginning to the end, they were talking amongst themselves and did not even look at the others around them, nor did they seem to care about the gazes the others cast on them.
Some people were whispering, some were burning incense, some were sharing tea, and some people complained about the wind and asked the maidservant to quickly move the screen to block the wind…
Against the background of the other young men in fresh clothes, these refined girls looked so outstanding, as if they had accidentally walked onto the wrong stage.
“If they want to share tea, they might as well go home. Why are they so particular in such a deep mountain and old forest?!” Wei Jiaoniang could not help but mutter again.
“Jiaoniang, you don’t understand.” The girl in blue pulled Wei Jiaoniang over and whispered, “The drinker’s mind is not on the cup, they all have ulterior motives.”
Several quick-witted people at the side also sensed something from these noble ladies. They exchanged meaningful glances in twos and threes, pursed their lips, and smiled.
“By the way!” Lu Qin, who had wilted for a moment, quickly perked up again. She held up an index finger and said crisply, “There’s something else you guys don’t know, right?”
“The Third Prince of the State of Yue, Baili Yin, will also come today.”
The little girl waited to see everyone’s surprised gazes, but she was disappointed again.
The young man in green snorted. He was just short of asking if that was it?
Lu Qin wilted again, and Wei Jiaoniang laughed heartily. “Ignore them. We’ll play by ourselves.”
“How is it? How do you want to compete this year?”
They would come to the forest park every winter to hunt, and it could be said to be a tradition. It was just that this year, there were suddenly more women from aristocratic families who had not come in the past.
“Shall we hunt wolves?” The young man in the green beard flicked his horse whip with a grin, eager to try.
