Chapter 172 - 172 Life-Saving172 Life-Saving
The corridor at the back was silent, and no one spoke for a long time. Only the little girl muttered innocently to her mother, “Mother, that young master just now was really good-looking. He was even better-looking than the deity in the painting!”
Gu Yanfei stood rooted to the ground and quietly watched Young Master Xia’s retreating back. She seemed to be watching him leave, but she was actually observing her surroundings without revealing anything.
The flowers and plants nearby had been trampled. Two or three people were hiding in the canopy of the sycamore trees to the northeast, and there were also people in the shadows on the eaves and walls over there…
Gu Yanfei sighed silently. Just as she exhaled a wisp of white air, it was mercilessly blown away by the cold wind.

If she was alone today, she had an 80% chance of saving her life. However, with Juan Bi, Granny Pang, and more than a hundred people in this manor, she was not even 10% confident.
Gu Yanfei gently stroked her cloak, turned around, and walked back towards the corridor.
She instructed the servant, “Go and tell your husband to call all the servants in the manor here.”

The servant was slightly stunned. She could hear the seriousness in Gu Yanfei’s voice and also tell that she seemed to be deeply afraid of this family that was here to stay.
At this point, there was no point in blaming the other party for making decisions on his own. Gu Yanfei did not say anything else. She waved her hand and gestured for the servant to go while she headed towards the central room.
The servant hurriedly bowed and ran out of the courtyard along the corridor.
The atmosphere in the corridor was a little oppressive and heavy. The wind and snow around them wailed, and the air faintly emitted an ominous aura.
About 10 minutes later, Steward Huang arrived, sweating profusely. It was winter in December, but he was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. He was in fear and trepidation.
The servants in the manor had come with him and gathered under the porch in front of the hall.
They did not know what had happened. They whispered to each other, all a little uneasy.
Steward Huang ordered someone to close the door of the courtyard and instructed the guards to guard the front and back doors. Then they entered the central room.
“Miss.” Steward Huang bowed stiffly. His expression was grave, and he could not hide the anxiety in his eyes. “Everyone is here.”
The servants outside all pricked up their ears to listen.
Gu Yanfei sat on an armchair in the central room and comforted him indifferently, “The snow is heavy and the wind is strong today. Just now, the trees were even blown down. If the house is not stable, I’m afraid it will be dangerous. It’s better to gather everyone together to prevent anything from happening.”
Her voice was neither loud nor soft. Most of the servants outside heard her and looked toward the two plum trees in the courtyard that had been cut at the waist. They whispered to each other, their voices coming from time to time.
“Miss is still the most attentive,” Steward Huang said dryly. Then, he went out and instructed the servants in the manor to tidy up the east and west rooms, preparing for everyone to sleep on the ground here tonight.
As long as they were busy, it wasn’t easy for them to think too much, and they had something to focus on. The atmosphere eased a little.
Juan Bi could tell that something was wrong with her lady’s appearance. She bit her lower lip slightly, feeling uneasy as if she had been scratched by a cat.
Gu Yanfei waved at Juan Bi.
Juan Bi obediently took a few steps forward and bowed, waiting for her instructions.
Gu Yanfei stared at Juan Bi’s face repeatedly without saying a word.
She still looked dead. A thick aura of death almost drowned Juan Bi’s small face, as if it had been blackened by smoke.

Hearing Gu Yanfei’s question, Juan Bi’s anxious heart relaxed. She felt as if the dust had settled and shook her head.
“I’m not afraid.”
She was not afraid with her lady around.
Juan Bi smiled foolishly, her eyes bright and determined.
Gu Yanfei smiled. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine, as long as you’re obedient.”
“I’m very obedient,” Juan Bi said with a confident nod.
She wasn’t confident in anything else, but she was very confident in this.
Juan Bi leaned her round face closer and stared at Gu Yanfei without blinking. She asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“There’s no hurry,” Gu Yanfei said casually with a faint smile.
She turned to look out of the window. She placed one hand on the window sill and gently stroked the short sword she had placed on the table with the other. She seemed to be playing with it, but also seemed to be deep in thought.
