Chapter 283: Interrogation at the Door

After getting Lanzhi's nod, Aunt Chen presented a wooden comb, two red hair strings, and a few feet of red satin.

Lanzhi gave her a handkerchief in return, which meant that they were engaged.

Aunt Chen also asked for Lanzhi's birth date and eight characters.

This thing was supposed to be prepared in advance, but Gu Fei and Lanzhi had never experienced these things, so they didn't know. Gu Fei hurried to the front to get red paper and wrote Lanzhi's birth date and eight characters for Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen took this and had to find someone to match the eight characters with Erlang's.

Only after the eight characters were matched, the betrothal gift could be given.

Only after the betrothal gift was given could the engagement be formally established.

Aunt Chen took the eight characters and drank a cup of tea. Gu Fei, as Lanzhi's in-laws, gave Aunt Chen a red envelope and then sent her away.

It was a coincidence that as soon as Aunt Chen left the store, Master Xu and a servant came into the store.

Gu Fei smiled slightly, "Mr. Xu is here, are you here for dinner today?"

Mr. Xu looked at the back door, "Where is Lanzhi?"

Gu Fei said lightly, "She doesn't work in the store anymore."

Mr. Xu frowned, "Not working here anymore? Then where is she now?"

He glanced at Gu Fei, "I heard that both her parents are gone, and she lives in your house now. Tell me where she is and I'll go find her."

Gu Fei smiled, "What do you want to do with her, sir?"

Mr. Xu said impatiently, "I want to ask her in person why she doesn't agree to the marriage."

Gu Fei sneered, "Just a concubine, what marriage!"

Mr. Xu looked at Gu Fei, "What do you mean? Could it be that she still wants to be the main wife?"

"She is an orphan whose parents are both dead, and being a concubine is a respect for her!"

If he didn't see that she was pretty, he wouldn't have promoted her so much and even invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Gu Fei wanted to kick Mr. Xu out, but she held back and took a deep breath, "Mr. Xu, you misunderstood. She has no intention of becoming the legal wife, but she has already been promised to someone else."

Mr. Xu's face changed, "Don't talk nonsense, it's only been a few days, and the matchmaker didn't say she was promised to someone else last time!"

Gu Fei was patient, "The engagement is just a few days away. We have already seen each other, and it just happened to be done."

Mr. Xu sneered, "Don't coax me, Lanzhi is obviously interested in me."

He stared at Gu Fei with a bad look, "Lanzhi is now staying at your house. Is it your family that stops her from marrying me?"

As he was talking, Lanzhi happened to come out from the back door at this time.

Lanzhi was used to walking with her head down, and she didn't see Mr. Xu, who was getting closer and closer.

Gu Fei held her forehead, but it was too late to remind him, Mr. Xu had already seen Lanzhi.

Lanzhi walked with her head down, and suddenly saw a pair of men's black boots. She raised her head and met Mr. Xu's face.

Master Xu's eyes were full of surprise, "You are here, it's so hard to find you."

Lanzhi was startled, she covered her face with her sleeves and turned away.

Master Xu finally saw Lanzhi, how could he let her get away, he shouted "Miss Lanzhi" and went forward to pull her.

Just as Master Xu was about to grab Lanzhi, Gu Fei jumped out of the counter and blocked Lanzhi, "Master Xu, please be respectful."

Lanzhi was almost scared to death, and when she saw Gu Fei blocking Master Xu, she turned around and ran to the backyard.

Master Xu saw Lanzhi jogging with her skirt lifted up, and she was about to run to the backyard. He was anxious and pushed Gu Fei hard, "Get out of here!"
