The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story

69 Honesty

“Isn’t this Second Lady Gu?!” The British Duchess stopped beside her twin horse, the Emerald Pearl Eight Treasures Carriage. She sneered softly. “Does the Gu family have any rules?!”

“Why did you come here to stop me? Could it be that you can’t bear to part with your engagement to the British Monarchy? Shameless!”

The British Duchess did not hide the disdain and contempt in her words. She vented all the coldness and mockery she had suffered from Kang Wang on Gu Yanfei.

She subconsciously touched the jade pendant hidden in her sleeve pocket. Since she had this jade pendant, she had nothing to worry about.

!!

Hmph, she did not like Gu Yanfei or Gu Yunrong. They were all the same and were not worthy of her son at all!

“Does your grandmother know that you’re here?” The British Duchess took another step closer to Gu Yanfei, her chin high, her expression sharp, impatient, and disgusted.

Gu Yanfei stood rooted to the ground and looked at her calmly.

The British Duchess’ fussy and disgusted face overlapped with that of her previous life, and the other party’s mean words seemed like yesterday.

Gu Yanfei smiled casually.

“Does the Crown Prince know that the Duchess is here today?” she asked.

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, the British Duchess’ anger was suddenly extinguished, and her expression froze for a moment.

Although she quickly regained her composure and was expressionless, that short moment of loss of composure did not escape Gu Yanfei’s eyes.

Gu Yanfei remained where she was. Her sleeves and skirt floated in the direction of the British Duchess, as if she was approaching her.

“If the Crown Prince finds out that the Duchess didn’t come for him today, he will be very disappointed,” Gu Yanfei said coldly and calmly.

“…” The British Duchess’ pupils constricted, and the shock in her eyes intensified.

She had made this trip and made such a big hooha that had also embarrassed the British Monarchy. Of course, it was not for the sake of making a decision, but how did Gu Yanfei know?!

She told herself: No, that’s impossible. It’s impossible for Gu Yanfei to know!

As if seeing through her thoughts, a faint smile appeared on Gu Yanfei’s face. She sighed and said, “Sigh, the Crown Prince is really pitiful. Not only was his love snatched away, but he was also bullied by his mother while kept in the dark.”

“How disappointed he’ll be when he finds out.”

“Is it so difficult to be honest?!”

Her voice was fleeting and ethereal, and there was an indescribable bewitching quality to it. The air seemed to be lifted by the demonic words and flowed directly toward the right sleeve pocket of the British Duchess.

The sleeve pocket lit up quickly, but no one noticed.

The cold wind was like a knife, hurting the face of the British Duchess, and her eyes flickered with uncertainty.

The British Duchess composed herself and said coldly, “What are you trying to say?!”

She had suspected that Gu Yanfei was waiting for her here to ask for the jade pendant, but now, it didn’t seem like it.

Gu Yanfei smiled politely from beginning to end. She reached out and said, “Have a safe trip, Duchess.”

The more polite she was, the more the British Duchess felt that Gu Yanfei had ulterior motives. She stared fixedly at the other party’s big black eyes, feeling uneasy.

However, she could not bring herself to say anything more to Gu Yanfei, and only said coldly to her nanny, “Return to the residence!”

Holding her nanny’s hand with one hand and holding her skirt with the other, she hurriedly stepped onto the horse stool, intending to get into the carriage. Unexpectedly, she accidentally stepped on her skirt and staggered forward.

Even as the maidservant and nanny hurried to help her, the British Duchess’ knee slammed into the carriage and she cried out in pain.

Even the hairpin in her bun was askew and disheveled.

Gu Yanfei chuckled and left. Her laughter disappeared in the strong cold wind.

“…” The British Duchess had never been so embarrassed in her life and her face burned. After she stabilized herself, she hurriedly got into the carriage as if escaping.

Soon, the luxurious carriage drove out of the west corner gate and left the Dingyuan Marquis Household.

On the way back to the British Mansion, the British Duchess kept feeling uneasy. One moment, she was thinking about Kang Wang, the next moment, she was thinking about Gu Yanfei, the next moment, she was thinking about her son, Fang Mingfeng, and the next moment…

Thoughts raced through her mind and she hadn’t even taken a sip of tea. When the tea cooled and she arrived at the British Mansion, her heart was still in turmoil.

Just as her feet landed on the bluestone floor of the British Mansion, she heard Fang Mingfeng’s anxious and excited voice.

“Mother!”

Fang Mingfeng rushed towards the British Duchess like a gust of wind. Half of the young man’s well-defined face was perfect, and the other half was covered in fine scars that were slightly covered by his bangs.

A few feet behind, two guards were chasing him. They were relieved to see the British Duchess back.

“Mother, where did you go just now? Is it the Gu family’s manor?” Fang Mingfeng stopped three steps away and asked anxiously, his eyes shining with anticipation.

For the past few days, he had been more or less depressed after being ordered by his father to be locked in his room and was not allowed to go out. It was only today that he heard from the old woman sweeping the courtyard that the Duchess had gone to the Gu family to propose an engagement that he regained his spirits.

Meeting her son’s expectant eyes, the British Duchess stiffened and her eyes wandered.

She had another motive for going to the Gu family today.

The British Duchess clenched her fists in her sleeves. She wanted to brush it off casually, but just as the words were about to leave her mouth, Gu Yanfei’s ethereal voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Every word seemed to be engraved in her heart, especially the last sentence: “Is it so difficult to be honest?!”

Was it so difficult to be honest?!

Yes, the mother and son had once been close and honest with each other.

The jade pendant in her sleeve pocket burned slightly, and a heat flowed from the pores of her skin into her heart. An inexplicable urge rose in her heart.

Her eyes gradually unfocused, and they looked empty, as if her soul had been extracted.

“Mingfeng,” the British Duchess said involuntarily. “I just went to the Gu family to propose an engagement with Rong’er.”

That was good news! Fang Mingfeng was overjoyed and in high spirits.

The British Duchess continued with a look of realization, “Rong’er agreed…”

Fang Mingfeng’s eyes shone with an irresistible light, but his mother continued, “But Kang Wang suddenly barged in and pulled Rong’er away…”

“…” The corners of Fang Mingfeng’s lips that had just curled up froze. His flying heart suddenly raced, and his heart constricted tightly, such that he could barely breathe.

...

The British Duchess said stiffly, “Kang Wang broke the hairpin I prepared for Rong’er and even chased me out of the Gu family…”

Fang Mingfeng clenched his fists tightly, and his entire body seemed to be enveloped in frost. His hatred for Kang Wang rose with his mother’s few words.

It was as if a treasure had been forcefully snatched away!

He hated Kang Wang!!
