Gu Yuan, who was drinking tea, didn't look so normal. He almost spit out the tea in his mouth and looked at Fan Beiran with a frown.
"Cough cough!" Fan Beiran coughed twice and winked at Gu Yuan.
Wasn't his fifth sister possessed by an evil spirit?! He had no other choice but to use this last resort to trick this girl out. After all, they were all family, so there was no need to be so formal.
Gu Yuan slowly swallowed the tea in his mouth, without saying a word, and just watched quietly from the side.
Gu Yanfei rested his elbow on the coffee table, held his chin and looked at Fan Mushuang, and asked casually: "Miss Fan Wu, is Mr. Xue your sweetheart?"
"Yes." Fan Mushuang's eyes lit up, his pupils sparkled like gems, and he nodded vigorously.
"Can you tell me what kind of person he is?" Gu Yanfei then asked the second question and pushed a plate of candied fruit in Fan Mushuang's direction, motioning her to try it.
Fan Mushuang turned a blind eye to it, her cheeks flushed like peach blossoms, one hand tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, and said tenderly: "Xue Lang is a scholar, and now he is staying in Wuliang Temple to study."
"Xue Lang is a man of great talent, but he just doesn't get the chance to show his talent. He studied hard for ten years at Bailu Academy. His teacher wanted to recommend him for an official position, but he was squeezed out by the son of a high-ranking official. But even though he was treated so unfairly, he didn't give up. He said that since he couldn't get into the court through recommendation, he would participate in this year's autumn examination. He would definitely pass the imperial examination next year, and become a prime minister in the future, leaving his name in history."
"The first time I saw him, I knew he was my destined one!"
"The Buddha said that it takes five hundred glances in the previous life to get to pass by each other in this life. My relationship with Xue Lang has lasted for three lifetimes. In the previous life and the life before that, we were separated by our families. In this life, I will definitely grow old with my Xue Lang!"
"No one can break us up!"
Fan Beiran had actually heard Fan Mushuang's words many times. As he listened, he couldn't help but frowning deeply and sighing secretly in his heart.
If the fifth sister is attracted to a good young talent, since she and the fourth son of Marquis Zhongqin haven't gotten married yet anyway, the most their family can do is apologize to Marquis Zhongqin and cancel the engagement.
The Fan family is a family of military generals, not the kind of pedantic family that would strangle a girl to death if someone accidentally touched her hand.
However, this Mr. Xue that the fifth sister likes, what kind of person is he? He is not good at either literature or martial arts, and he is also very ambitious and has little knowledge. Let alone a man like him becoming her brother-in-law, if he meets such a person in normal times, he would feel it is a waste of breath to say a few more words to him.
Gu Yanfei stared at Fan Mushuang's shining eyes and asked again, "Is Master Xue okay?"
"He is really good." Fan Mushuang nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Xue has great literary talent. He is proficient in poetry, songs, essays and classics. His knowledge covers ancient and modern times. No matter what he says, it touches my heart."
The corners of Gu Yanfei's mouth curled up like a crescent moon, and she seemed to be listening with great interest. Her expression did not seem fake. For a moment, Fan Beiran on the side could not help but doubt whether he was prejudiced against Xue Shasha.
No, that's not right.
I'm sure there's nothing wrong with me! Fan Beiran shook his head and told Juanbi to give him a cup of strong tea.
Gu Yanfei didn't even look at Fan Beiran, but focused on Fan Mushuang, urging him, "Tell me more."
In the past few days, when Fan Mushuang was at home, all her relatives said bad things about Xue Lang. Now, seeing that Gu Yanfei had no intention of looking down on Xue Lang at all, and thinking that the other party really wanted to help her elope, she instantly became energetic.
Fan Mushuang put her hands together, her round white face curved up with a light red corner of her lips, and she smiled so sweetly that it seemed to penetrate into her heart. She continued to talk about her Xue Lang: "He has a noble character, does not value money and other external things, nor does he blindly pursue fame and fortune. He decided to take the imperial examination in order to become a local official in the future and do something practical for the country and the people."
"It is my luck to be able to meet him again in this life. We are a lover who has been together for three lifetimes, and we are destined to live and die together in this life!"
Gu Yanfei listened attentively, his eyes brightening a little.
After Fan Mushuang finished speaking, Gu Yanfei suddenly moved, raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead.
A ray of white light invisible to mortal eyes flashed between the girl's eyebrows and then disappeared.
Fan Mushuang covered his forehead in confusion. Fan Beiran lost interest in drinking tea. He put down the cup of strong tea he had just picked up and stared at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes, as if asking, "How is it? " Gu Yanfei turned to Fan Beiran and said affirmatively, "It's love Gu."
She didn't avoid Miss Fan Wu when she said this.
insanity?!
Fan Beiran and Gu Yuan were both shocked when they heard this, and they both thought of the Gu in the eldest princess Anle.
Fan Beiran quickly asked Gu Yanfei: "Sister, I heard that the eldest princess was poisoned before..."
Could this be the same thing?!
Gu Yuan glanced at Fan Beiran coldly, and his unhappy eyes seemed to say, he said, this is his sister! Hearing this, Fan Mushuang couldn't help but frowned. Although she didn't know what was going on, she understood one thing: this second Miss Gu was probably here to help her elope.
Gu Yanfei explained: "Master Fan, the eldest princess was infected with a blood parasite. The blood parasite is vicious and can feed on human blood and essence and can take a person's life."
"And your sister was infected with the love poison."
"As the name suggests, once you are infected with the love poison, you will be trapped by love and go crazy because of love."
Just imagine, if a girl makes a fuss for her lover and offends her relatives and friends, what good will happen to her? This is simply killing people invisibly! "No!" Fan Mushuang stood up from her chair excitedly and retorted excitedly, "Xue Lang didn't put a love spell on me. I really love Xue Lang."
"I want to be with Xue Lang forever, as a couple for the rest of my life."
Her little face flushed with emotion and her hands clenched into fists.
Gu Yanfei looked at Fan Mushuang again, picked up the teacup without saying a word, and gently flicked the floating leaves on the tea soup.
In her previous life, she had never met Fan Mushuang, and only knew that Fan Beiran had a sister who eloped with someone.
Because of this, the daughters of the Fan family lost all their face, and the subsequent girls of the Fan family had to marry far away or of lower status because it was difficult to arrange marriages.
This is the principle of "prosperity for all, disgrace for all".
Later, Gu Yanfei also heard that Miss Fan did not meet a good man. After eloping, her lover sold her to a brothel.
The Fan family did not give up on their girl easily, and went through great pains to find her back. However, even so, Miss Fan kept telling her family that her lover had no choice but to do it, and she was still deeply in love with him. She even secretly ran away from home to find her lover.
When she was caught by her family again, she made a big fuss in the street, which became known to everyone. The Fan family could no longer hold their heads up in the capital.
When Gu Yanfei heard about these things in his previous life, he found it unbelievable and felt that Miss Fan was simply bewitched by a vixen.
At this moment, she suddenly realized: it turned out to be a love poison.
Gu Yanfei took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes.
How strange.
First it was the eldest princess, then Fan Mushuang, but where did so many Gu come from in the Central Plains?
After the incident with the eldest princess, Gu Yanfei specially collected some books related to witchcraft from major bookstores in Beijing. He bought nearly two bookshelves of books, and only then was he basically sure that "witchcraft worms" were not so common in this small world, and those places where witchcraft were stored were usually in remote areas around Lingnan.
In the Central Plains, especially in Jing State north of the Yangtze River, there are very few people who understand witchcraft.
Chu Yi ordered an interrogation, but even Shangqing didn't know who the person who cultivated the blood Gu was.
Gu Yanfei didn't say anything. Fan Mushuang became even angrier. He jumped up and down at Fan Beiran and called him by his name: "Fan Beiran, how dare you lie to me! You said you would help me!"
Fan Beiran knew that his sister was poisoned by a Gu, so he naturally didn't bother with her. He asked Gu Yanfei anxiously, "Is there any way to cure the Gu in my fifth sister?"
He thought of something and added hastily, "Should we kill that scholar?"
A cold and sharp light flashed in Fan Beiran's eyes. He waved his hand to make a hand blade, as if he was sharpening a knife.
Gu Yuan patted Fan Beiran on the shoulder and said, "I'll go with you. We'll put him in a sack first and throw him out from the city wall at night."
"You dare!" Fan Mushuang's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said tearfully, "Second brother, if you dare to hurt him, I will die..." die for love!
"Qingguang." Gu Yanfei quickly interrupted Fan Mushuang and called out in a neither light nor heavy voice with a calm expression.
“Meow!”
Just as he finished speaking, a furry ball came like a gust of wind, barking as it quickly jumped onto the windowsill, squatted on it, and looked at Gu Yanfei and Fan Mushuang in the room, as well-behaved as it could be.
It tilted its chubby cat face, with a few scraggly white whiskers trembling in the wind, and a piece of lush green grass in its mouth, looking a little naughty.
Gu Yanfei turned slightly, appropriately blocking the cat's face so that Gu Yuan and Fan Beiran on the other side could not see the cat's eyes.
"Poor little fellow, why are you eating grass?" Fan Mushuang stared at the kitten's green eyes infatuatedly, and her voice suddenly became soft and sticky, and she asked distressedly, "Qingguang, are you hungry? Do you want some cakes?"
She hurriedly brought a plate of hibiscus cake and handed it to the cat. The cat moved its pink nose, sniffed, and turned its head away in disdain.
The cat gently jumped onto the coffee table, looked around, and then drank the warm water in a teacup, licking the water with its pink tongue...
This scene seemed to carry an indescribable magic. Fan Mushuang stared at the cat drinking water infatuatedly, not wanting to blink at all.
The way it drinks water is so beautiful and elegant.
Gu Yanfei gently touched the cat's back and asked, "Miss Fan Wu, who is more important to you, Xue Lang or Qing Guang?"
