The old Taoist glanced at Gu Qing from the side, and the brightness and clarity in his eyes made Gu Qing feel more and more panicked.

This is her deepest secret, known to no one else in the world. Could it be that this old Taoist really has supernatural powers?

Or was it just a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse and he just happened to guess right?

Gu Qing was confused for a long time, and only came to her senses after the old Taoist finished his last cup of tea.

"There are only you and me here. Madam, there is no need to worry or doubt the old Taoist." The old Taoist suddenly showed the aura of an immortal, and Gu Qing also showed admiration.

If this old Taoist priest wanted to oppose me, he could just tell others about it. Why would he come to the Chen Mansion to see me?

Furthermore, he had deliberately concealed this matter from Chen Zhizhou just now, avoiding him before explaining it to himself.

What exactly does he want to do? What is his purpose?

Gu Qing was not a suspicious person in her previous life, but after experiencing life and death, she must always tread on thin ice in this life in order to have the possibility of changing her fate.

"Sir, what exactly do you want to say? There's no need to keep me in suspense."

This was equivalent to indirectly acknowledging the old Taoist's words. Gu Qing immediately became more frank and his expression relaxed a little as he stared at him.

"I am now over eighty years old, and I always felt that I was only one step away from becoming an immortal. I never expected to encounter such a mysterious thing as Madam today. Perhaps, in the dark, you are the one who will help me become an immortal."

His speech became increasingly strange.

Gu Qing was puzzled. Did this old Taoist want to kill him?

"Since we are destined to meet, how about this old Taoist showing kindness and helping Madam?"

Gu Qing was puzzled, but he saw him pinch his index and middle fingers. Xuan smiled with relief and said, "Madam, your life has been full of ups and downs, and the road ahead is long. But with true love by your side, you will surely be able to overcome all dangers and achieve your dreams."

Even if it was just a blessing, Gu Qing was happy to hear it, but she took it a little more seriously, leaning forward slightly, as if wanting to ask more carefully: "Sir, are you serious about what you said?"

"If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't exist."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, his clear eyes narrowed slightly, avoiding the scorching sun: "I'm afraid this rain will last for a long time."

"Madam, please remember to keep an eye on your family."

"In this life, if you want peace, you must always follow your heart and never forget the purpose of your life."

Gu Qing's eyebrows trembled when he heard this.

Is this old Taoist giving her another warning? Moreover, according to the date in her previous life, there was indeed a heavy rain during the Qingming Festival.

It covered fertile fields, washed away ditches, and caused countless casualties.

And the family members that the old Taoist was talking about were exactly the second wife that she suspected!

Gu Qing suddenly clenched his hands, bowed to the old Taoist priest and said, "Gu Qing will remember your words today. If I can really fulfill my long-cherished wish in the future, I will definitely thank you generously!"

The old Taoist stroked his half-human-length beard, laughed heartily, and said, "There's no need to thank me. If Madam can truly resolve the grudges of her past life, I will be able to depart and ascend to immortality."

"Helping you is also God's last test for me."

"As for Madam's nightmares, they are caused by her depression. Chen Zhizhou is a pure yang being, so ordinary evil spirits cannot get close to you two. But Madam, please remember, if he lives, you live, and if he dies, you die."

This sentence is the verdict on myself in my previous life.

After Chen Zhizhou's death, she became increasingly haggard day by day for some unknown reason, and had nightmares every night, like an empty shell being sucked away by demons and ghosts.

Until he finally knew the truth and died in despair.

She seemed to have figured something out. Perhaps many things had already been determined in the dark. She and Chen Zhizhou were destined to be husband and wife.

Thinking of this, she remembered more and more the good things about Chen Zhizhou. She remembered that in her previous life, as long as Chen Zhizhou was around, she seemed to have never suffered and never felt uneasy.

But she was controlled by Gu Yunzhao, lost her original intention, and ended up with a bad ending.

In this life, she must protect Chen Zhizhou and let the Gu family suffer the consequences of their own actions, from which there will be no recovery!

When he looked up again, the old Taoist in front of him had disappeared. Gu Qing looked around and when he came out of the yard, he saw Chen Zhizhou standing at the door with his hands behind his back.

He was standing under the bamboo in a green robe. The light and shadow cast his slender figure on the green tiles and white walls, making him so handsome that it dazzled the eyes.

Gu Qing's eyes suddenly turned red.

Chen Zhizhou heard the noise and turned around to see his wife running towards him with her skirt lifted up and a tender and moist look in her eyes.

Chen Zhizhou chuckled, and without waiting for her to come over, he strode forward and hugged her in his arms: "What are you looking for?"

"Why are your eyes red? But what did that stinky old Taoist say to you?"

Gu Qing shook her head and just buried herself in his chest, letting his breath wrap around her tightly. After a long time, she raised her head, her eyebrows and eyes gentle and graceful: "Nothing, I just missed you."

Chen Zhizhou was slightly stunned, and even his heart skipped a beat.

Ever since Gu Qing's attitude towards her changed, they have been living in harmony like an ordinary couple, but she has never been so straightforward in expressing her feelings.

Chen Zhizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and even his eyes exuded a seductive smile.

He lowered his head slightly, and his warm breath gently fell on Gu Qing's snow-white neck, as alluring as willow catkins in spring.

Gu Qing couldn't help but tremble, her body softened like water, and she was about to let go of him with a hint of anger: "What are you doing?"

This happened in broad daylight, and Chen Zhizhou was shameless, yet she still wanted more!

Besides, the third house had suffered losses before and had been focusing on the mistakes of the first house. The second house was not an easy person to deal with either. The woman with the most concerns in the Chen family was the second aunt, Lu.

"What do you think? You just said you wanted to be my husband, but you wanted..."

Chen Zhizhou deliberately spoke in a rather frivolous tone, but he was handsome and well-proportioned, so no matter how frivolous he was, it just sounded like he was joking.

Gu Qing used some strength to push Chen Zhizhou away, straightened her clothes, and looked at the maids and servants coming and going. She lowered her head consciously, and couldn't help but blushing. She frowned and said seriously, "There are too many people in the mansion, don't make such a fuss."

Chen Zhizhou's eyes were gentle, and Gu Qing was in his eyes.

Even if she frowned and spoke in a serious tone, he looked like she was acting coquettishly, which made people very happy.

"I understand. Then be serious during the day and not serious at night." Chen Zhizhou lowered his voice so low that it was almost inaudible when he said the last few words.

But it fell into Gu Qing's ears word for word.

She blushed, coughed lightly and pretended not to hear, quickened her pace into the house, and suddenly said, "The old Taoist should have left. The master said that I am in good health and there is no need for a ritual. This way, the second and third wives will not gossip."

"Let the Second and Third Houses talk if they want. Madam, why should you be afraid of them? You have your husband to protect you. But it's better not to do the ritual. This thing is not effective, not as effective as your husband."

Gu Qing ignored him. She had just expressed her feelings a little, and this man was taking advantage of her. She had to teach Chen Zhizhou a lesson so that he wouldn't torture her like that at night.

Elsewhere, the third wife, Bai, had just entered the mansion and brushed past the old Taoist priest. She turned around and looked at him in confusion, "Where did this old Taoist priest come from? Was he invited by the eldest lady?"
