"Yan Fei," Madam Gu couldn't bear to listen any longer and shouted, "That's enough."
She knew that this matter could not end well.
Regardless of whether Gu Yanfei is really good at fortune-telling, once the matter of the "house-born child" is exposed, there will be no hope for Gu Yunyan to become the Princess of Kang.
Her heart was wavering again. After a while, Madam Gu said decisively, "Okay."
The word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.
Gu Yunmeng moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
She didn't go to see Madam Gu, nor did she go to see Gu Yanfei. It seemed that she had finally made up her mind, but also that she had given up something...
"Ahui." Madam Gu called again, and Nanny Li, who was guarding outside the gate, went in to listen to the order.
"Send the person to the government office." Madam Gu slowly twisted the Buddhist beads and gave the order with a serious expression.
Nanny Li responded respectfully.
But as soon as she turned around, Madam Gu called her back: "Wait."
Nanny Li looked at Madam Gu in confusion. Madam Gu raised her eyelids and said calmly, "Cut the tendons in his hands and force-feed him until he becomes hoarse."
She kept twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, her face expressionless.
If you want to prevent future troubles, you must make Su Niang unable to speak and unable to write, so that the secret can be kept.
The reason why Su Niang was kept was that Madam Gu did not want to commit murder, and also because Gu Yunmeng pleaded for Su Niang, Madam Gu considered it as accumulating blessings for Gu Yunmeng.
However, if Su Niang's existence would hinder Sister Meng...
A fierce look appeared in Madam Gu's eyes.
Gu Yanfei seemed not to have heard anything and was leisurely peeling and eating pine nuts.
However, Gu Yunyan trembled violently, her cherry lips slightly parted, and her uncontrollable thoughts were written on her face: This is a bit too cruel!
"Yes, Madam." Nanny Li responded respectfully without even moving her eyebrows.
In this huge marquisate, it was not uncommon for servants to be beaten to death or sold off. Moreover, Su Niang had indeed committed a heinous crime, and the extra half year she had lived was courtesy of her.
After paying her respects, Nanny Li turned and left.
With just one person missing, the Yude Hall seemed empty and fell into deathly silence again.
Outside the house, there was a rustling sound of wind, and a strong atmosphere of solemnity and murder was in the air.
There seemed to be a faint sound of wailing in the howling cold wind, but when I listened again, I could not hear a single sound.
Gu Yunyan lowered her head. The voice lingered in her ears, as if it had torn pieces from her soul...
The pain that came from the soul entangled Gu Yunmeng and he could no longer be distracted by anything else.
She didn't look at Gu Yanfei, but Gu Yanfei was looking at Gu Yunmeng.
She saw that the vibrant golden aura around Gu Yun'er was actually tinged with a faint gray, just like a petal of a blooming peony flower where the edge of one of the petals suddenly had a bit of burnt color.
Wow, interesting. Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Madam Gu had lived a smooth life for most of her life. Now she was being restrained by a junior and had to bow down to him. This was more painful for her than taking her life.
“Bang!”
Gu Yanfei clapped his hands gently and nodded bluntly, "Satisfied."
"I hope that Madam Dowager can always make me so satisfied in the future." She tilted her head and smiled brightly, her eyes curved like a crescent moon.
Madam Gu suppressed the urge to slam the table, took a deep breath, and patiently asked, "How should we resolve this happy event that has seen blood?"
She stared at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes, unblinking.
At this point, there must not be any mistakes in Sister Meng’s marriage!
Gu Yanfei casually took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, put it on the coffee table next to him, and said, "Burn the talisman and let her drink the talisman water."
Playing tricks! Gu Yun'er's eyes shot towards Gu Yanfei like swords, feeling ashamed and angry, and felt another tearing pain coming from the depths of his soul.
"Believe it or not is up to you." Gu Yanfei stood up with a lazy smile on his face, stroked his sleeves, and walked out of the main hall.
After turning around, the smile on her lips turned into a faint sneer.
This talisman has no meaning, it's just a piece of scrap paper.
In fact, even if she did nothing, there would be no problem in the marriage between Gu Yunyan and Chu You.
Gu Yunyan is the darling of heaven in this small world, and Chu You is the match chosen by heaven for her. Their marriage is destined and in line with destiny.
However, compared to their previous life, the love journey of this pair of lovers in this life is much more bumpy.
In the previous life, Gu Yunyan was in great glory because she "saved" Prince Kang in Prince Jing's mansion and was granted marriage by the Queen Mother.
In the previous life, everyone thought that Gu Yunmeng and King Kang were a perfect match, and everyone envied them.
People only see the glorious days, but don't know that their happiness is trampled on the flesh and blood of countless cannon fodder.
Gu Yanfei merely peeled off the seemingly perfect skin, revealing the rotten sores underneath.
But she also knew that no matter how many twists and turns this marriage had, they would still be together.
This is God's will.
Just now, Gu Yanfei was just trying to scare Madam Gu and Gu Yunmeng, but for the sake of their own interests, they all gave up on Su Niang.
Gu Yanfei walked down the stone steps in front of Yude Hall, not caring at all about Gu Yun'er's cold gaze behind him.
A gust of wind carrying sand blew towards her, blinding her eyes, making them ache and bringing out tears.
Through tearful eyes, Gu Yanfei recalled her previous life when Su Niang lived a life of luxury and had a deep mother-daughter relationship with Gu Yunmeng. Until the moment of her death, Su Niang lived a life of extreme luxury.
It turns out that it is just like this! A line of tears fell from the corners of Gu Yanfei's eyes and slid down her jade-like cheeks...
The knot in her heart suddenly dissipated, as if a bubble was easily popped.
In an instant, Gu Yanfei felt suddenly enlightened and his eyes suddenly brightened.
Her sea of consciousness was like a vast, calm ocean with a cloudless blue sky, giving her a feeling of the vastness of the sea and sky.
Gu Yanfei raised his hand and wiped away the tears on his cheeks with his fingertips.
These tears are from the previous life.
She curled her lips and smiled, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Her smile was brighter and more beautiful than the glow in the sky.
There was a sudden rustling sound in the treetops nearby. The kitten poked its head out from between the leaves, jumped down from one of the trees, and landed accurately in her arms.
"Meow meow meow..." Qingguang called happily.
"Have you had enough of the fun?" Gu Yanfei put the cat on his shoulder, and the cat squatted down obediently, and meowed again with great energy.
Gu Yanfei patted its back and said, "It's time to go back."
The kitten was very excited, and kept meowing, trying to tell her about Su Niang's fate. Its pair of green eyes sparkled in the sun, so beautiful that it made people's heart palpitate.
Unfortunately, Gu Yanfei didn't understand a word.
The master and servant returned to Yuheng Garden amid the lingering sound of cats' meows.
Gu Yanfei glanced towards the boudoir with a sense of realization, and casually handed the kitten that was licking her shoulder to Juanbi, and ordered: "Juanbi, go get some boiled chicken for Qingguang."
"Little Qingguang, are you hungry? Sister will make you something delicious!" Juanbi happily carried Qingguang away. When she coaxed the kitten, her voice softened involuntarily, just like coaxing a child.
Gu Yanfei entered the room alone. The small study was empty, with no one in it.
However, outside the half-open window, there was a familiar baby face facing her.
The young man in blue smiled very warmly and happily, without the slightest embarrassment, as if it was a normal thing for him to climb over the wall.
"Miss Gu," Xiao Shi waved at Gu Yanfei with a smile, and said in a cheerful tone, "My master asked me to bring wine to you, Qiu Lubai."
In Xiao Shi's other hand, he held a wooden tray, on which was a pastel enamel wine jug.
He placed the wine jug and glass on the table by the window, looked at Gu Yanfei with a smile, and stretched out his hand as if to ask for something.
Good luck today, worth congratulating.
Gu Yanfei poured himself a glass of Qiulubai.
Qiulubai is named after the lotus dew in early autumn. The wine is white and has a very refreshing fragrance.
Gu Yanfei sniffed it intoxicatedly, then took a sip and drank it all in one gulp. He felt the wine in his mouth was fragrant and sweet, and the aftertaste remained between his lips and teeth, which was endless.
"Good wine!" Gu Yanfei praised happily, with his eyes half-closed.
"As long as the young lady likes it!" Xiao Shi smiled and praised his master, "This Qiulubai is the imperial wine, others can't drink it. If the young lady likes it, I will give it to her next time."
"Thank your young master for me." Gu Yanfei casually took a red plum from the plum vase next to him and handed it to Xiao Shi outside the window.
The plum blossoms, blooming in the bitter cold, lonely and proud of the snow, are quite a match for him.
Is this flower a gift to their young master? Xiao Shi was startled, and after taking the flower branch, he felt as if something was upside down.
Weird, where exactly is it?! Xiao Shi racked his brains to think about it, and returned to the palace in a daze. When he presented the red plum blossom to Chu Yi, he realized that something was wrong.
As the saying goes, fine wine is given to heroes and flowers are given to beauties.
How come the situation is reversed between my son and Miss Gu? !
Chu Yi was wearing his usual white clothes, playing with the red plum blossom in his hand with great interest.
The red plum blossoms on the branches are as bright as fire, reflecting his handsome face and adding a bit of bright radiance, which is really dazzling.
Chu Yi turned the red plum blossom, and the petals trembled slightly.
He lowered his head and sniffed, and a hint of fresh plum fragrance entered his nose.
For some reason, he recalled the scene when he first met her in the suburbs of Danyang.
In such a tragic situation, the girl was still so free and easy, with her dress flying and her long hair fluttering...
Seeing that Chu Yi quite liked Gu Yanfei's return gift, Xiao Shi said jokingly: "Sir, Miss Gu is really a straightforward person... No, she is a smart and straightforward person!"
"It is a blessing for a chess player to meet a worthy opponent." Chu Yi smiled softly.
This time, they joined forces to play a brilliant game of chess.
"It is a blessing for a chess player to meet a worthy opponent." This sentence comes from "Honor of Kings".
