Chapter 264 Your entire Gu clan will die
Shen Mingxuan stared at her in utter astonishment: "No way, Shen Wantang, who's talking nonsense between us? Did you hit your head on the door and hurt yourself? Have you forgotten how many times you've been beaten before?"
“When you were little, you copied one of my good poems and insisted that you wrote it yourself. As a result, your father was very angry and gave you a severe beating. Then he made you kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights as punishment!”
"Father, say something! Isn't that right, Father?"
Shen Guannian was dumbfounded and couldn't utter a single word.
He felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face without anyone noticing, and his face was burning.
Shen Wantang didn't turn around to look at Shen Guannian, but she knew that Shen Guannian's expression at that moment must be quite interesting.
She pulled Gu Qianning along and whispered, "A'ning, let's go."
Gu Qianning glanced at Shen Guannian: "Lord Shen, your memory seems to be severely distorted. You're making black out to be white. If Miss Shen hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have thought you were telling the truth! With a memory like yours, you shouldn't be an official. It's not good for the people of Dafeng."
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Chen Wantang and took her arm: "Come on, I'll treat you to drunken crab at Zuixianlou!"
The two walked out side by side.
Shen Mingxuan suddenly called out from behind, "Gu Qianning!"
Gu Qianning turned around: "Is there anything else?"
"You will die, your entire Gu clan will die, not a single one will be left!"
Upon hearing these words, Shen Wantang's expression changed drastically: "Shen Mingxuan! Shut up!"
Gu Qianning's face turned icy cold. In all her life, no one had ever dared to speak to her like that, let alone curse the entire Gu family!
She was furious, but the Gu family had carefully nurtured her for so many years, and it wasn't for nothing.
Even in her anger, she maintained her composure and noble demeanor. She did not scold Shen Mingxuan, because that would not frighten Shen Mingxuan.
She looked at Shen Guannian: "Lord Shen, your eldest daughter cursed my entire Gu family with her bare hands. I wonder if you taught her to say that, or if you yourself like to say that and your daughter overheard it and deliberately relayed it to me? Does she really think my Gu family is easy to bully?!"
When Shen Mingxuan uttered those words, Shen Guannian's face turned pale instantly. He wished he could strangle his daughter who was talking nonsense!
For the sake of his career, he had to swallow his pride and act like a grandson in front of Gu Qianning. But as soon as Shen Mingxuan arrived, he started acting like a grandpa in front of Gu Qianning!
He apologized somewhat panickedly: "My daughter spoke without thinking, and it was really not her intention to offend the Gu family. I apologize on her behalf, I am truly sorry! I hope Miss Gu will not hold such a fool against her. She has been talking nonsense for several months now, and her mind is not quite right. Miss Gu, please rest assured, I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future!"
Shen Mingxuan snorted coldly: "What is Father afraid of her for? What I said is true. The Gu family will be executed along with their entire family in the future. Don't be fooled by the Gu family's current glory. They will be the ones who suffer the most in the future. The Crown Prince doesn't like Gu Qianning at all. He will kill Gu Qianning with his own hands in the future!"
Shen Guan's back was instantly soaked with sweat, and his face was completely bloodless: "You bastard! Shut up! Guards, give her the family discipline! Give the young lady twenty lashes, then throw her in the ancestral hall and make her kneel for three days and three nights to reflect on her actions!"
Shen Mingxuan screamed in disbelief: "Father! You actually ordered someone to beat me? You weren't like this before. You only ever beat Shen Wantang, and you never had the heart to hit me!"
Shen Guannian roared furiously, "Drag her away right now! Beat her, beat her hard!"
Two old women stepped forward and dragged Shen Mingxuan away.
Soon, her screams of pain, as she was being beaten, came from outside. Each scream was more shrill than the last, attracting the attention of Madam Qi.
When Madam Qi arrived, she didn't even bother to scold Shen Wantang. She grabbed Shen Guannian's arm and pleaded for her daughter, but Shen Guannian remained unmoved and still didn't stop.
Only after all twenty strokes of the cane had been delivered, and Shen Mingxuan's crying had weakened, did Shen Guannian, drenched in sweat, look at Gu Qianning.
Gu Qianning's expression was icy, and without saying another word, she pulled Shen Wantang away.
No sooner had they left than Shen Guannian's legs went weak.
Large beads of sweat dripped from his chin; after the initial fear, there was still endless fear.
Qi came over to help him, but he slapped her hard across the face in a fit of rage.
Madam Qi screamed in agony, crying as she questioned him, "Master, what's wrong with you?!"
"You still have the nerve to ask me what happened? It's all because of your good daughter! She dared to curse the entire Gu family to be wiped out! She dared to speak ill of the Crown Prince and his future Crown Princess! If she wants to die, then she should die herself, don't drag me down with her!"
The Shen family was in a state of panic, and chaos reigned. Gu Qianning's situation was no better.
She went to Zuixianlou with Shen Wantang. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, but she couldn't eat a single bite.
Shen Mingxuan's words kept echoing in her ears, making it impossible for her to completely ignore them.
She wouldn't eat, and neither would Shen Wantang, because Shen Wantang knew that although Shen Mingxuan seemed crazy to outsiders, she was actually talking about things that had actually happened in her previous life.
The entire Gu clan was truly wiped out.
Gu Qianning did indeed die in the palace.
"A-Tang".
Gu Qianning finally couldn't hold back and asked the question that had been on her mind: "I heard that your elder sister has always said that she was reborn. She said that she has lived a lifetime and knows everything that happened in her previous life, and knows how many people died. Is that true?"
Shen Wantang looked at Gu Qianning and sighed softly: "Shen Mingxuan has always said that. She does have the ability to predict the future. When I was still in the Shen family, she predicted what diseases the maids and servants of the Shen family would get and when they would die."
"Did she predict all of them correctly?"
If it were anyone else, Shen Wantang would never admit that Shen Mingxuan had been reborn, but she didn't want to lie to Gu Qianning.
She nodded to Gu Qianning: "Yes, she predicted almost everything correctly."
Gu Qianning's face visibly paled: "How could this be? Why? This is impossible... Ah Tang, the Gu family couldn't... My cousin... he couldn't possibly want the Gu family dead, he couldn't possibly kill me..."
Shen Wantang didn't know how Gu Qianning died, but how she died wasn't important. What mattered was that she was really dead, and the Gu family was indeed slaughtered by the Crown Prince on charges of treason.
Apart from the two children that Gu Qianhan desperately begged her to save for the Gu family, there were no other survivors.
That was a catastrophe for the Gu family, a calamity that even if Gu Qianhan were reborn, he would have a hard time changing. He needed help, and if Gu Qianning could stand on his side, then the Gu family might be able to save the lives of all its members.
Shen Wantang spoke softly, "A'ning, do you remember the marriage fortune slips you drew at Fazhen Temple? They were always the worst possible ones. Is it really just a coincidence?"
