Meeting Madam Gu's angry eyes, Gu Yanfei raised his hand and casually pinched his fingers twice with his thumb.
This simple action performed by her inexplicably exudes a sense of mystery.
Madam Gu had also seen some Taoist masters with profound Taoist skills perform divination, and she was stunned: this girl's posture actually looks quite professional.
While examining her, she heard Gu Yanfei looking up at her and asked, "Madam, have you had a nightmare recently?"
Madam Gu's eyes widened slightly, and she immediately remembered the strange dream. The hand holding the Buddhist beads trembled violently.
In her dream, she turned into a cat that was at the mercy of others and died a horrible death.
After that dream, she often had nightmares. Sometimes she dreamed that she was dead, sometimes she dreamed about the day when the news of her eldest son Gu Ce's death came, and sometimes she dreamed that her second son Gu Jian and several grandchildren also died in vain...
She had been thinking, could it be that she had killed a cat in the past and hurt her virtue? But how did Gu Yanfei know? Madam Gu's eyes were extremely sharp.
Gu Yanfei stroked his sleeves and said calmly, "Dreams are often a kind of foreshadowing."
"This nightmare was meant to remind the Madam, but unfortunately, she turned a blind eye and did not restrain herself."
"You have committed indiscriminate killings. It seems that your descendants will be punished for this."
"Second sister, please stop talking nonsense," Gu Yunyan endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but retort.
Even though she has always been kind and good at dealing with people, she couldn't put on a good face when facing Gu Yanfei.
"Third sister, please don't interrupt." Gu Yunzhen gently taught Gu Yunmeng, acting like an elder sister.
After saying that, she looked at Gu Yanfei seriously again.
"Madam, don't you believe it?" Gu Yanfei smiled softly, raised his hand and counted with his fingers, the casual smile on his face became even stronger, "First the son, then the grandson."
The last word sounded like a sigh.
Sons?! Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but think of the faces of her sons, Gu Jian, and her expression changed again.
What Gu Yanfei meant was, what kind of disaster will happen to Gu Jian and the others? !
Is this girl talking nonsense, or...
While thinking, Mrs. Gu's eyes happened to fall on a few red plum trees outside the window.
The red plum blossoms were gorgeous, blooming in full swing in the cold wind. She would have felt festive in the past, but now she felt that this blood-red color exuded an ominous aura.
Gu Yunyan scoffed at these fortune-telling techniques in her heart and said as tactfully as possible: "Grandma, this is a mystery..."
This is superstition and cannot be trusted.
Before she could finish her next words, she was interrupted by a breathless female voice: "Oh no!"
A sweaty old woman in green came running over from outside the house, shouting intermittently as she ran: "Madam!"
Nanny Li, who was guarding outside the house, did not dare to stop the person. The old woman in green walked into the hall with trembling legs and bowed deeply to Madam Gu: "Madam, the Marquis got scared by his horse and broke his leg!"
Like a loud thunderclap, time seemed to stop for a moment.
Madam Gu's eyelids twitched rapidly several times, and she looked at Gu Yanfei with an almost horrified look. Her originally strong defense had a slight crack at this moment. This girl was right... No, she was right!! The next moment, Gu Yun'er met Gu Yanfei's pupils that were as bright as stars, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"Next, it's your turn." Gu Yanfei's voice was clear and cold, like a stream of cool ice flowing past.
Gu Yunyan frowned slightly. She didn't believe in divination in her heart. However, Madam Gu was even more excited than her and quickly scolded, "Enough! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Gu Yanfei remained calm, still smiling, and said nonchalantly, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, the Madam will know soon."
"I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to propose marriage soon."
I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to propose marriage soon! This sentence echoed in Mrs. Gu's ears like an echo in a valley.
"..." Madam Gu felt as if someone was beating a drum in her heart. The crack in her heart was spreading rapidly, and she was uneasy.
Gu Yanfei almost said this directly, and Gu Yunyan's marriage will be full of twists and turns...
No, it won't.
Madam Gu told herself in her heart that her little sister had been lucky since she was a child and had always been successful.
"You are spreading rumors to confuse the people!" Madam Gu's eyes were uncertain, and she scolded in a deep tone, "Come here, take the second young lady back to Yuheng Garden and keep a close eye on her."
The implication was that Gu Yanfei was placed under house arrest.
Hearing the noise, the two maids outside came in in confusion.
They didn't hear what the old lady and the second young lady said just now, but from the old lady's furious expression, they could tell that the matter was serious.
"It's useless." Gu Yanfei stood up with a smile, casually stroked her dress, and said calmly, "I can't be wrong about this hexagram. This hexagram of Zefeng Daguo, the outer hexagram is Dui, which refers to water; the inner hexagram is Xun, which refers to wood. Water drowning wood is not good."
"If you don't believe me, Madam, just wait."
"Three days is the limit."
Gu Yanfei's smile was confident and unfathomable, as if he had figured out the mystery, which made Madam Gu's heart skip a beat.
Gu Yunzhen, who had just opened his mouth, closed it silently, his eyes moved smartly, and he thought to himself: It seems that my second sister has her own ideas, so there is no need for her to plead.
Gu Yanfei left leisurely, and finally said lightly: "I'm waiting for the lady in Yuheng Garden."
As she spoke, she stepped out of the main room, and the tail end of her words was blown away by the cold wind.
The girl walking slowly in the wind has her dress fluttering and her black hair swaying, looking indescribably free and elegant.
Looking at Gu Yanfei's leaving back, Madam Gu felt as if countless ants were crawling in her heart and she was very uneasy. She didn't expect that Gu Yanfei would leave so easily.
Gu Yanfei walked farther and farther away, and her slender figure soon disappeared in the shade of the trees at the gate of the courtyard.
Accompanied by the two old women who followed him closely, Gu Yanfei brought Juanbi back to Yuheng Garden.
Madam Gu placed her under house arrest, not allowing her to go out, so several maids took turns guarding outside Yuheng Garden for three days in a row, not leaving even a step.
However, for Gu Yanfei, this house arrest order was not important because she had no plans to go out anyway.
Even if Gu Yanfei didn't go out, she could still know a lot of things.
For example, a maid named Dujuan in Gu Yunzhen's courtyard secretly copied out the prescription she gave to Gu Yunzhen and gave it to Xia Lian; for example, Gu Yunzhen asked Xia Lian to go to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion; for example, after Fang Mingfeng received the prescription and listened to the "message" from the servant, he cried with joy and was almost crazy.
Gu Yanfei curled his lips, read the pigeon letter in his hand quickly, and threw it into the charcoal brazier. Bright yellow flames sprang up from the charcoal fire and engulfed the silk paper in the blink of an eye...
