Gu Siyu stroked her belly: "The Gu family is just ahead."

Qu Jian'er hugged herself: "So?"

Gu Siyu reminded him, "The Gu family is very xenophobic. Apart from my father, no one else in the Gu family..."

Just as she was about to point out that not all members of the Gu family were as easy to talk to as she was,

Then I heard it.

Qu Jian'er said seriously, "Don't worry, I've been rigorously trained. No matter how funny the other members of your Gu family look, I won't laugh unless I can't help it."

Those present: ?!

Zuo Zhijing placed his fist against his lips, and then gently and considerately supported Gu Siyu.

He didn't want his wife to go back to the Gu family, but he couldn't resist her pleas and tears.

However, Qu Jian'er is there.

Nothing major should happen.

Gu Siyu didn't know how she felt. She hadn't lost her memory of this period, so she clearly knew what had happened to her body.

Because we know.

Therefore, she doesn't understand.

Isn't the Gu family her home?

Aren't the Gu family her family?

Isn't Gu Youyou her younger sister?

Why did you have to hurt her so blatantly!

From a young age, she knew that she was not liked by her family, but she had tried her best.

She had even obediently married Zuo Zhijing, whom she did not like.

But it resulted in even greater harm!?

She knew this trip home might lead to a complete break, even though she had already anticipated the outcome.

She also wanted to ask him in person.

Ask her why she did this to her.

Even if she is truly useless, she is still a human being, and a member of the Gu family.

at the same time.

The wind swept across the old family mansion.

The wind blew towards a grove of trees behind the house.

A chilling wind swept through the forest, rustling through the leaves and bringing with it an endless cold.

The cool breeze finally stopped inside the cabin in the woods.

The interior decoration exudes mystery, with countless incantations carved on the walls, both inside and out.

"Mother, it seems my sister has returned. You must help me keep her here so that it will be convenient for my experiments."

Gu Youyou wrapped herself in a white cloth, revealing only her eyes, which gleamed with a sinister light.

She was very indignant.

After learning about Gu Siyu and Zuo Zhijing's loving relationship, she no longer remained a bystander as before.

She was jealous that Gu Siyu had someone who loved her.

She even regretted bringing Zuo Zhijing and Gu Siyu together.

Madam Gu, who was sitting cross-legged, put down her prayer beads upon hearing this: "The soul-swapping attempt failed?"

Her words were in the form of a question.

His tone, however, was very certain.

Gu Youyou lowered her head slightly: "Mother is right, I can never place my hopes on others."

She originally wanted to use this soul-swapping experiment to obtain data on whether it was feasible on Zuo Chen.

But I never expected it.

At the last minute.

The experiment failed!

She still doesn't know why.

It wasn't just because she didn't investigate, but also because the curse on her would sometimes recur.

She didn't have the time to investigate.

Upon hearing this...

Madam Gu nodded with great satisfaction: "It's good that you've figured it out. Bring her to me alone."

They are from the Sato family.

There are ways to make someone obedient.

If one method doesn't work, then try another.

Back then, she managed to deal with Gu Siyu's biological mother, her husband's first wife.

This gave her the opportunity to become Madam Gu.

Since she had a way of winning a man's heart, she was confident that she could also help her daughter.

Gu Youyou thought of Zuo Zhijing and said at the right moment, "But there are still a few people."

Madam Gu frowned as she recalled the guest mentioned by the Gu family head, her current husband.

Now is a crucial moment for the Sato family's grand plan. She is a direct descendant of the Sato family, and the fact that the Ko family is colluding with "Sato" behind the scenes cannot be exposed.

Unfortunately, the man she loved was the most "kind" and liked to bring all sorts of guests home.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Madam Gu's eyes: "Then bring them all over. There's still a member of the Zuo family and a member of the Lan family. Since they've come to us, there's no reason to let them go."

Gu Youyou was confident that her mother had plenty of ways to help her.

They were worried about not having a chance to meet the two families.

Since they've come to us of their own accord.

Then don't blame them.

Once they control the Zuo and Lan families, how could their plan to overthrow the empire not be realized?

And she would also have more options to negotiate with Zuo Chen.

The thought of Zuo Chen.

Gu Youyou's eyes were filled with tenderness, as if she could see the moment when she nestled in Zuo Chen's arms.

The mother and daughter completely ignored Qu Jian'er.

In their eyes, Qu Jian'er, who had no name, surname, or backing, was not worth mentioning at all.

Gu Youyou even forgot who Qu Jian'er was, and forgot how she bullied people during her school days.

***

The Gu family's butler approached the group and said with a smile, "Miss is back. Madam is waiting for you in the cabin in the woods. As for these guests, please come along as well."

A lowly housekeeper.

His words and actions were full of contempt.

Even when facing Gu Siyu and Zuo Zhijing, he did not show the slightest respect.

Qu Jian'er watched the butler's retreating figure with great interest, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

She could still sense the aura of someone from the same sect.

The same crooked and evil tricks.

The usage is just very different.

Qu Jian'er tried to contact Jiang Yiya and the others again, but still received no response.

She had to prepare herself to face the Gu family alone, and she needed to figure out what she could do to avoid being exposed.
