53 Whip

Gu Yanfei pursed her lips into an ambiguous smile and suddenly stood up. As a result, the other three people’s gazes focused on her again.

Gu Yanfei said indifferently, “So the Duchess is visiting to cancel the engagement between the Crown Prince and my Third Sister. Then it’s not convenient for me to stay here.”

As she stood up, her dress flowed down like water, and her plain clothes fluttered.

“…” Madam Gu frowned and her expression changed.

Gu Yanfei tilted her head and smiled. She asked innocently, “I heard that my Third Sister has already signed a marriage contract with the Crown Prince, right?”

“Since Grandma agreed to His Highness Kang Wang’s marriage proposal, it’s only right for her to break off the engagement.”

Gu Yanfei said shocking words in all seriousness. To Fang Mingfeng, these words were like lightning striking down from the clear sky.

Fang Mingfeng’s expression changed drastically. He lost his composure and stood up, his body hitting the chair with a thud.

Marriage proposal?!

“What did you say?!” Fang Mingfeng asked sternly. His usual nobility and arrogance were gone, as if someone had poked his sore spot.

Madam Gu’s expression darkened further as she berated, “Gu Yanfei!” What nonsense was this girl spouting again!

Gu Yanfei stopped and only said, “I’ll take my leave first.”

The moment she turned around, Fang Mingfeng could no longer hold it in. He rushed forward like an angry lion and blocked Gu Yanfei’s path.

“Make yourself clear!”

Fang Mingfeng was more than half a head taller than Gu Yanfei. He glared at her from above, his handsome face twisted with anger.

He attacked at lightning speed, wanting to grab Gu Yanfei’s wrist, but Gu Yanfei dodged it easily.

To Fang Mingfeng, this was no different from adding fuel to the fire. For a moment, new and old hatred surged together and burned his rationality.

He took off the whip at his waist and whipped Gu Yanfei…

The whip lashed out, breaking through the air like a viper flicking its tongue. There was a crisp crack.

The Duchess ignored him and picked up the teacup indifferently. She also wanted to take the Gu family down a notch.

Letting her son marry such a wild girl was already making her son suffer. This girl actually didn’t know how to appreciate favors!

The expressions of the surrounding maidservants changed drastically as they gasped. Their beautiful faces turned pale as they watched the black whip quickly whip at Gu Yanfei’s tender skin. A few of them could not bear to look anymore.

However, something even more shocking happened.

Gu Yanfei only took a step to the side and avoided the whip. Her posture and steps were light, agile, and as graceful as a dragon.

She gently snatched the horse whip from Fang Mingfeng’s hand and raised it.

“Crack!”

The sound of the whip hitting flesh exploded in the air. It was not loud, but everyone else felt that even their eardrums had been shaken.

Another blood-red whip mark appeared on the left side of Fang Mingfeng’s face. The old injury had yet to heal and a new one had been added. It was a shocking sight.

The surroundings fell into an abnormally strange silence and everyone was dumbfounded.

The Duchess lost her composure and rose from her chair. She had not expected such a thin and weak country girl to be so feisty.

Her body trembled with anger. There was not only shock, disgust, anger in her expression, but also heartache for her son. She only had a son and daughter, who were both her precious babies.

Fang Mingfeng was speechless.

Fang Mingfeng glared at Gu Yanfei fiercely like a hungry wolf hunting its prey. The burning pain on his face told him that everything that had happened just now was not a dream.

Blood trickled down his cheek, dripping onto the mirror-smooth ground.

Looking at the disheveled Fang Mingfeng, Gu Yanfei said clearly, “Fang Mingfeng, in terms of status, you can’t beat Kang Wang.”

“In terms of appearance…”

Her half-smile swept across Fang Mingfeng’s old and new injured face. She ended with a sigh, which was equivalent to stabbing him twice in the heart.

Fang Mingfeng was speechless.

“What do you plan to use to compete with Kang Wang?” Gu Yanfei stared into his eyes and said word by word.

Fang Mingfeng gritted his teeth, his eyes spitting fire as if to say that it was all her fault.

“Gu Yanfei, are you crazy?!” The Duchess was almost driven crazy by anger. She wished she could drag Gu Yanfei down and punish her with 30 whips. A mere girl from a declining Marquis Mansion actually dared to whip her son!

Gu Yanfei’s response was to whip Fang Mingfeng’s face accurately.

“Crack!”

Fang Mingfeng’s bun was pulled loose, and his hair was scattered messily over half of his face, mixing with the blood on it. A few strands of hair fluttered to the ground.

The Duchess’s heart twitched again, and her face turned pale. She ordered the servants sternly, “What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and take her down!”

The two old women from the Fang family responded nervously and wanted to go forward to snatch the whip from Gu Yanfei’s hand.

Unfortunately, they could not get close to Gu Yanfei at all. Another whip curled up with a whoosh, scaring the two old women so much that they took two steps back. Then, they heard another slap.

Gu Yanfei’s third whip ruthlessly struck Fang Mingfeng’s left calf.

Fang Mingfeng grunted in pain and staggered to the ground.

He looked up at Gu Yanfei, who was a few steps away, and met the girl’s dark and clear pupils.

The light gently outlined the girl’s exquisite eyebrows. Under her long eyelashes, there was a faint sharp glint in her eyes. She was like an unsheathed sharp sword.

The servants of the Marquis Mansion were dumbfounded. They did not expect so many people to be helpless against their Second Lady.

Gu Yanfei looked at the Duchess again with a clear gaze and asked indifferently, “Duchess, are you going to do it yourself?”

As she spoke, Gu Yanfei calmly flicked her whip. Her movements were agile, revealing a hint of flaunting and intimidation.

The Duchess was speechless. Her breath was stuck in her throat and she did not dare to move.

She had no doubt that if she dared to step forward, Gu Yanfei would whip her son again!

“Then I’m leaving.” Gu Yanfei smiled, shrugged, and turned to leave.

After stepping out of the threshold of the hall, she threw away the whip in her hand and left without looking back.

Fang Mingfeng’s hatred surged. The storm and waves on that rainy night wished they could tear everything apart.

The moment Gu Yanfei’s first whip landed on his face, Fang Mingfeng clearly understood a fact: Gu Yanfei was not pretending. She really did not want to marry him.

Besides that, she was still using him… to take revenge on Gu Yunrong. She would do anything to vent the anger she had suppressed for the past 14 years.

Not only was this woman vulgar, but she was also scheming. To achieve her goal, she even acted with unexpected madness and stepped on him time and time again.

He told himself that he could not fall for this viper beauty’s ploy and could not let her get what she wanted.

However, even though he knew in his heart that Gu Yunrong would marry Kang Wang, Fang Mingfeng’s heart felt like it was being roasted by fire.
