"Mother, please don't talk for now and have a good rest." Gu Jian gently comforted Madam Gu.
When the other people in the room saw Madam Gu wake up, they looked relieved. As long as Madam Gu could wake up, she should be fine.
The Dajing Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety. If something happened to Madam Gu, all her children, whether legitimate or illegitimate, would have to observe mourning for three years, which would affect their future. Not only that, but even the marriages of her grandchildren would be affected.
The air around them relaxed, and they looked at Master Shang Qing with more respect.
Shangqing Zhenren said again: "My Lord, Madam, the Madam has overcome the difficulties. She needs to rest well. I will make another batch of elixirs for her when I return. After she takes the elixir, she will be fine."
"Now that the matter is settled, I will take my leave now."
He swung his whisk and bowed again, his gaunt face showing no joy or sadness.
Gu Jian bowed solemnly to the Taoist Master Shang Qing and said, "Fourth brother, please see the Taoist Master off in person."
Mr. Gu Si agreed repeatedly.
"Goodbye." Shangqing Zhenren turned and left, his wide cuffs flying up, making him look like a god in heaven.
The door curtain was lifted, and Shangqing Zhenren left, but the remaining wisps of sandalwood still lingered in the air.
Everyone looked at the trembling door curtain with a look of amazement on their faces. Someone sighed, "Shangqing Zhenren is indeed a god."
"When I recover, I will definitely go to Wuliang Temple in person to thank the immortal." Madam Gu said gratefully on the bed.
Her complexion was better than when she had just woken up, and her eyes became clearer.
Gu Yanfei could see that Madam Gu must have been suffering from emotional frustration, which caused her liver to not be able to vent and she was depressed. Maybe the medicine she had taken before was not suitable for her, which was why her illness became worse and worse.
Now, her symptoms have eased a lot.
"Mother, my sister and I will go with you then." Wang said hurriedly.
As she spoke, Wang glanced at Gu Yanfei, who had been sitting in the chair in the corner without moving, and her eyes turned cold.
Wang coughed lightly and said in a pretentious manner, "Yan Fei, your grandmother is so ill. These past few days, your sisters have been taking turns to take care of her. Today is your turn to show your filial piety."
Gu Yanfei stood up from the chair, stroked his sleeves gently, and said with a faint smile: "Madam Hou, if the Madam looks at me, she might get even sicker. For the good of the Madam, I think we should just forget it."
As she spoke, she smiled. She was very beautiful, with three parts of elegance and three parts of fairy spirit, just like a river of spring water described by a famous artist, clear and unworldly.
Now that the real person had seen it, she should go back to her nap.
“…” Wang was so angry that her face turned blue, but she managed to maintain her graceful appearance.
Gu Yunyan frowned again, pursed her lips, and looked at Gu Yanfei's back without any attachment. Gu Yanfei really had no regrets at all, and she had been blinded by hatred and resentment.
"Mother," Gu Yunyan pinched her handkerchief and asked Wang, "I'll stay and take care of grandma."
Her tone was just the right amount of gentleness, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze. It also gave Wang a way out. Wang's expression eased a little, and she even said, "Our little sister is still the most filial." and so on.
Gu Yun'er smiled gently, only to see Gu Yanfei's figure disappear behind the door curtain.
Gu Yanfei walked slowly and leisurely, passed through two curtains, stepped over a threshold, and walked out of the main hall of Cihetang.
An oval face, curved eyebrows, a hump nose, and a slightly curved lower lip... these familiar facial features formed a face that was engraved in Gu Yanfei's heart.
It's her! Gu Yanfei narrowed his eyes and recognized her immediately.
It was Su Niang! In her previous life, before she was taken back to the capital, she had only seen Su Niang twice. At that time, she thought Su Niang was her mother and was full of admiration for this woman.
It was not until her life story was revealed that she knew why that family had disliked her since she was a child and had either beaten or scolded her. She also knew why Su Niang had abandoned her in Huaibei for fourteen years and had ignored her.
It was Su Niang's greed that caused the tragedy of "Gu Yunhuan" in her previous life, making her short ten years of life dark and tragic, and finally she died with a heart full of regrets.
"Gu Yunhuan's" life shouldn't have been like this. She should have grown up under the care of her father and brother...
In an instant, it seemed as if some invisible monster crawled out of Gu Yanfei's heart with bared fangs and claws, and a fierce shadow flashed across his eyes.
She knew that her inner demon had come back again, just like it had many times in the Yaoling Realm.
Every time she made a breakthrough in her practice, all the things from her previous life would turn into inner demons that would tear at her madly and affect her practice again and again.
A strong smell of blood rose from Gu Yanfei's throat, and the fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly uncontrollably.
When she met Gu Yanfei's eyes, Su Niang's eyes moved around in panic for a moment, but then she calmed down and raised her chin in a cowardly manner.
Things are different now. Gu Ce and Xie are gone. Gu Yanfei is just an orphan without a father or a mother. She has just returned to the Marquis' Mansion and has not yet established a firm foothold. She can't do anything about herself! !
Gu Yanfei's dark eyes were like a deep pool without ripples, and the depths contained within were unfathomable.
It was the same in my previous life.
After the truth was revealed, Su Niang also stayed in the Marquis' Mansion. At first, she avoided her, but later, Empress Dowager Yuan issued an edict to grant marriage to Gu Yunmeng and Prince Kang. After that, Su Niang straightened her back and acted like a superior benefactor when facing her.
She was filled with hatred and went to ask Madam Gu to punish Su Niang.
As a result, Madam Gu scolded her instead: "Sister Huan, do you want Su Niang to die?"
"Su Niang was certainly wrong, but when Yangzhou was in chaos, it was she who fought her way out of the bloodbath and brought you out of Yangzhou..."
"You are too violent and don't know how to be lenient."
Every word and sentence Madam Gu said was like a knife stabbing her heart. In her previous life, she didn't dare to resist Madam Gu.
Thinking of this, the rage in Gu Yanfei's eyes grew and surged...almost occupying her entire eyes, and then quickly calmed down, just like the dark and vast sea at night, seemingly calm and waveless, but with undercurrents surging underneath.
She walked forward at a leisurely pace.
When she passed by Su Niang, a faint flash of blood appeared in the corner of her eyes, but she did not stop.
It was obviously a cold winter, but Su Niang still had some cold sweat on her forehead. She wiped the sweat off with a handkerchief, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in her heart.
