Chapter 2: Divide the money

 Gu Fei's heart trembled. Zhu Yiwei was synonymous with terror in his memory. When Zhu Yiwei entered, one could imagine what would happen.

Her mind flashed for a moment with words such as ransacking her home, beheading her, going to jail, etc. This was Zhu Yiwei's usual practice.

"Hurry and help me to the second lady's room." Gu Fei struggled to get up and whispered to the little girl. She just wanted to lie down and recuperate, but she might not have a chance.

The little girl helped Gu Fei to the side door and walked into the second lady's room. The second lady was still sitting in front of the dressing table looking at the door in confusion.

 “Close the door!” Gu Fei shouted in a low voice.

 A little girl quickly closed the door.

The second lady came back to her senses when she saw Gu Fei, and quickly came over and grabbed Gu Fei's hand, "Jade, why did you get up before your injury healed? What's going on outside?

Just when Gu Fei was about to say something, he glanced at the girls in the room. Pearl was also crowded among the girls, her eyes were red and frightened.

 The second lady immediately understood what Gu Fei meant and said softly to the girls: "You all go to the wing, I have something to say with Feicui."

The little girls lowered their heads and quickly entered the ear room one by one. They glared at Gu Fei with red pearly eyes before reluctantly walking in.

 Gu Fei then lowered her voice and said, "Second Miss, Zhu Yiwei's officers and soldiers are coming. I'm afraid it's not a good thing. You have to make plans early."

The second lady obviously knew Zhu Yiwei’s reputation. She looked nervous and asked, “What are your plans? You mean—”

Gu Fei whispered: "I guess the Marquis has committed something. The next step is probably to confiscate his home and exile him."

The second young lady began to tremble slightly, "No, then, what should I do?"

Gu Fei sighed, she didn't know what to do. If she was not injured and still had some strength, she might be able to find an opportunity to escape. Now she couldn't even protect herself.

 Forget it, do your best.

Gu Fei thought for a while: "No matter what situation a person is in, they have to eat and drink, and this all requires money!"

The second lady's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously, "You are right, I have saved a lot of money over the years. Let's hide it quickly. Where can we hide it?" She said, looking around.

Gu Fei sighed, "Don't look at it. If we really want to ransack the house, we won't be able to save it. Just hide it, as much as you can hide."

She moved with difficulty to the cabinet, took out a small box, took out a bunch of keys tied to her side, opened the small box, and picked out a few banknotes inside.

There are four silver notes, two for five hundred taels and two for two hundred taels.

 This is what the second lady has accumulated over the years.

Gu Fei signaled the second lady to hide the banknotes herself. The second lady took off one of her embroidered shoes and stuffed the two banknotes into the sole. She was about to put the remaining banknotes into the other shoe when she suddenly stopped. , handed the remaining silver notes to Gu Fei, "Jade, keep the rest with yourself."

Gu Fei was startled, and the second young lady looked at her, with tears welling up in her eyes, "You know, I have always treated you as my sister. I don't know what will happen to my family in the future. With this money, your life will be easier in the future." point."

Just when Gu Fei was about to shirk, the second lady said sincerely: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep the banknote if I leave it here. Each of us will take half of it, so the risk will be smaller."

Gu Fei was silent for a few seconds, nodded, and hid the remaining banknotes close to his body.

 Next, the second young lady took action on the beaded gold hairpin on the dressing table. She was originally a miser, but now that she heard that the house was being ransacked, she naturally didn't want to let anything go.

 The second lady was hiding herself while trying her best to stuff Gu Fei's body.

At this time, in the wing room next door, several little girls were crowded on the kang. Only Pearl stood hunched over in front of the door, looking toward the main room against the crack of the door with a malicious expression.
