Xu Luo's face changed slightly, and the blood-red "ghost face" on his back became even redder, as if it was about to drip blood, and as if it was alive and about to burst out.
He pushed Wei Wan away impatiently. When he got excited, his facial features, which were originally as perfect as Jin Tong's, became a little ferocious, and the expression on his face suddenly looked like the evil ghost on his back.
Wei Jiaoniang considered herself to be very brave, but she couldn't help but gasp and her hair stood on end.
"Second Miss Gu, I wonder what happened to the child. Was he possessed by an evil spirit?" Wei Wan looked at Gu Yanfei anxiously.
Gu Yanfei remained calm, staring quietly at the blood-red scar on the boy's back that looked like a ghost face, and did not speak for a long time.
Wei Wan's heart suddenly rose up and she almost held her breath. She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to disturb Gu Yanfei.
After looking at it for a while, Gu Yanfei withdrew his gaze and signaled the wet nurse to help Xu Luo put on clothes.
Gu Yanfei stared at Xu Luo's face for a while again and said, "I have to look at his horoscope."
This involves the eight characters, so it is indeed an evil spirit.
Lady Weiguo and Wei Wan looked at each other.
Since there was no outsider here, Wei Wan told the truth about her eldest son's horoscope.
Gu Yanfei casually counted on his fingers, looked back and forth at Xu Luo and Wei Wan, and asked inexplicably: "Madam Hou, your daughter's birthday is one hour later?"
"Yes, yes." Although Wei Wan didn't know why Gu Yanfei asked about his daughter, she still nodded and answered.
Gu Yanfei continued, "Three months ago, this child suddenly developed red marks on his skin. It started on his chest and then gradually spread to his back. The color deepened and turned into this bloody scar until half a month ago, when it formed a 'ghost face'."
"His temper has become more and more impatient recently, right?"
"Indeed." Wei Wan nodded repeatedly, looking at Gu Yanfei with hope on her face, and became more convinced of her.
It’s all correct. Every word Miss Gu said was right.
My son's illness is too weird.
Over the past two months, the Marquis of Ji'an had tried every possible method, from imperial physicians to Taoists, monks, healers and sorcerers. She even invited the Shangqing Zhenren from Wuliang Temple. She got all kinds of medicines and talismans, and tried to give them to her son both internally and externally, but it was completely useless.
The bloody "ghost face" on Xu Luo's body became bigger and bigger, as if possessed by some evil spirit, occupying almost one-third of her skin. The child who used to have a good temperament had a drastic change in personality recently. She even often lost her temper with her mother and sister Xu Yao, which worried everyone in the mansion.
Wei Wan asked solemnly, "Second Miss Gu, is there any way to help my child get rid of this evil spirit?"
Gu Yanfei stared at the blood-red "ghost face" on Xu Luo's back for a while, as if he hadn't heard anything. After a while, he retracted his gaze and said quietly, "This child must be sent away today."
"Otherwise, Madam and your child will surely die!"
The room was silent for a moment.
What?! Wei Wan's eyes widened in shock.
"I don't want to!" Xu Luo's face changed instantly. He stamped his feet in frustration and shouted excitedly, "I don't want to leave!"
"Mom, don't send me away!"
Wei Wan came back to her senses and was about to comfort her son, but she heard Gu Yanfei continue, "The death energy in you and your child is caused by him. The hexagram shows that this is not a pair of dragons..."
“Bang!”
Wei Wan slammed her hand on the table, interrupting Gu Yanfei's words.
Wei Wan's face was filled with anger, and she no longer had the warm and polite manner she had before. She pointed at Gu Yanfei's nose and said angrily, "Shut up!"
She was almost mad with rage, her beautiful face was filled with overwhelming anger.
Although her son was not feeling well, it was most likely caused by evil spirit. He was not unwell and was fine when playing and studying. She had seen so many doctors and Taoists, but no one said that her son was in critical condition.
Her daughter was fine and had no problems at all.
These two children are the apple of her eye. Now this Second Miss Gu curses them to death. How can she, as a mother, tolerate this?
The more Wei Wan thought about it, the angrier she became, and her plump chest rose and fell rapidly.
When she heard from her sister-in-law that Gu Yanfei saved her eldest brother's life, and also heard that she had also saved the eldest princess, she thought she really had some ability, but it turned out to be just empty talk.
"Sister-in-law, you heard what she just said." Wei Wan frowned and complained to the wife of Duke Wei, "Why do you still keep such a liar who deceives the world and steals reputation? You'd better kick her out quickly, so that she won't teach our beautiful wife bad things."
Because her sister-in-law was the daughter of her parents-in-law who came later in life, her family had always given in to her and spoiled her since she was young, which made her have a bad temper. However, Marquis Ji'an had a good temper, and the two had never had a quarrel after being married for many years.
"Twelfth sister..." Lady Weiguo wanted to persuade her sister-in-law to apologize to Gu Yanfei, but was interrupted excitedly by Wei Jiaoniang.
"Grandma, you really don't know how to appreciate kindness!" Wei Jiaoniang was even more excited than Gu Yanfei. She was so angry that her face turned red. She glared at Wei Wan who was sitting opposite her and said, "You came to me to ask for help, so Yanfei kindly gave you some advice. Why are you cursing at me?"
"We Yan Fei are not the kind of people who do calculations casually. If it weren't for me and my grandmother, Yan Fei wouldn't even bother to look at you!"
Wei Jiaoniang raised her neck and looked at Wei Wan, her aura was no less impressive than hers.
What she just said was also her true words. Gu Yanfei has always been easy-going and does what he wants. If it weren't for his grandmother bringing people to beg him, Gu Yanfei wouldn't have cared about this matter.
"You...Jiao Niang, is this how you talk to your elders?!" Wei Wan stomped her feet in shame and annoyance, thinking that she and her sister-in-law had clearly been bewitched by Gu Yanfei.
Wei Wan stood up and walked away, leaving a sentence contemptuously:
"Just treat that charlatan as your guest of honor!"
She took her son with her and called Xu Yao, the daughter from next door, and left angrily.
She was very angry. She roughly lifted up the door curtain embroidered with a dragon and a phoenix playing with a pearl, and then threw it down heavily. The door curtain rustled in the air.
A charlatan? Gu Yanfei couldn't help but laugh.
No one has ever called her a "charlatan".
The wife of the Duke of Wei would not doubt Gu Yanfei's ability, and quickly comforted her, "Yanfei, don't bother with my sister-in-law. She has had a bad temper since she was a child, and it was difficult for her to have children after marriage. It was not easy for her to have this pair of children."
"The doctor said that she had a difficult birth and was injured. I'm afraid she won't be able to have children in the future."
Because of this, Wei Wan values her two children more than anything else.
Gu Yanfei smiled without any hesitation, his eyes still clear.
Lady Weiguo looked at Gu Yanfei's expression carefully, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she didn't seem to take it to heart.
She calmed herself down and asked carefully, "Yan Fei, what did you just say?"
Gu Yanfei held his chin with one hand, staring at the dragon and phoenix embroidered on the brocade curtain in front of him, and continued with the unfinished words just now, "These are not twins, but a pair of twins."
"There was a baby girl who died shortly after birth."
What do you mean?! Gu Yanfei's two sentences made Lady Weiguo shudder and her scalp tingle.
"Really?!" Lady Weiguo couldn't help but ask.
Gu Yanfei nodded.
The wife of the Duke of Wei also looked at the door curtain embroidered with dragons and phoenixes playing with pearls, muttering to herself: "How could it be..."
How could a dead baby girl become a living son?! Lady Weiguo's mind was a little confused. She suddenly thought of the bloody scar on Xu Luo's back that looked like a ghost face. The first thought in her mind was: Is it some kind of evil magic? "I know!" Wei Jiaoniang clapped her hands excitedly and said seriously, "Xu Luo was not born by my great-aunt's mother!"
"What Yan Fei said must be right!"
Wei Jiaoniang said this with certainty, her eyes bright and determined.
Boom! Boom! Wei Jiaoniang's words hit the wife of Duke Weiguo's heart like a heavy hammer.
She gasped, her heart trembling, and even her voice was a little tight: "Dujuan, go call Awan back."
Lady Weiguo, who usually has a strong personality, rarely showed a hint of vulnerability at this moment.
The head maid Du Juan quickly obeyed the order and ran out to chase Wei Wan. Her heart was pounding and she didn't dare to think too much.
"Yan Fei," Lady Weiguo stared at Gu Yan Fei and said in a deep voice, "Will the dead baby girl..."
She couldn't help but think: Could the strange "ghost face" behind Xu Luo be the spirit of that baby girl?
