Chapter 88: Life-threatening Gu and Heart-shaking Gu
Behind Su Qianqian, a group of three people wearing the same veil hats, Qin Yuzhuo's sisters and Du's sisters-in-law, also followed from a distance.
After listening to the guards' report, Qin Hanzhang signaled them to continue hiding their tracks and tracking, and to ensure Su Qianqian's safety, then he got in the car and left.
Although Gu Wu's hair was as white as snow, she looked like a little girl from behind. The drooping veil of her hat fluttered behind her, and she looked heroic in a green tights.
[This dress is nice, perfect for escaping. Remember to ask Madam Xu to order one for you next time. 】
Su Qianqian fell in love with Gu Wu's clothes.
[You'd better not decide. You've made this nice dress look unlucky. But why are you following her? Are you looking for death? 】The system hits the nail on the head again.
Su Qianqian ignored the system. She had her own plans in mind. She stood with her hands behind her back, holding a small dart in her hands. If Madam Xu wanted to see her, Gu Wu must go with her.
Gu Wu walked slowly in front, passing through the East Market and heading north, entering an area of simple houses. Every household built their houses with grass and mud, and some of them had large cracks on their gables due to their age.
"Madam, we should not follow her. This person looks strange and doesn't look like a good person. What if she does something outrageous and hurts you?"
Su Mu couldn't help but hold Su Qianqian. If he didn't stop it and something unexpected happened, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.
At this moment, the old lady Gu in front also stopped, turned around and looked at the three masters and servants in the distance.
Su Qianqian asked Su Mu and Su Xing to wait here and not get close, and she walked forward alone with Dian Feng, with the small dart in her hand ready to go at any time.
"Grandma Gu, I accidentally learned that you were here. I followed you all the way because I wanted to do business with you. I have no ill intentions. Please don't blame me."
When she was ten steps away from the Gu woman, Su Qianqian stopped. At this distance, her small darts could hit the target every time, but the poison detection talisman bought from the mall was a safe distance.
Su Qianqian made a comprehensive assessment of Gu's poison and Gu, and learned the true meaning of the so-called poison. It turned out that this Gu was strange and could take people's lives or make people lose their minds in various ways. It was not like poison that would kill people instantly upon contact with blood. Su Qianqian was slightly relieved.
At this time, Gu Lao looked Su Qianqian up and down: "You followed me all the way from the teahouse, with two tails behind you, so you didn't accidentally find out what kind of relationship you had with the mother and daughter?"
Su Qianqian was stunned and turned around to look. Suddenly, she saw a few people wearing veil hats peeking out from outside a mud wall not far away, and there were people dressed in the same style further away.
Seeing that they were discovered, Qin Yuzhuo and her sister came out, and the three ladies behind them followed.
"Mother and aunt, why are you here too?" Su Qianqian was speechless. Is it so difficult for her to go out?
Mrs. Du waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, Granny Gu. This is not a good place to talk. Why don't we find a convenient place to discuss business? Granny Gu will decide for herself whether to do it or not."
Seeing that Mrs. Du's demeanor was not that of an ordinary person, Grandma Gu nodded and led them around an alley and into an independent small courtyard. Although the courtyard was shabby, it was kept clean.
Grandma Gu asked them to wait in the yard, walked into the low door, and came out after a while with a puppet in her hand.
"Take my child away, that's good. I won't have to worry anymore. If they hurt my child, let them be buried with her. My son won't have to suffer anymore."
There was a hint of sadness in Grandma Gu's cold and vicissitudes voice.
"Grandma Gu, what did the mother and daughter ask you to do just now? If Grandma Gu is willing to tell me and do it according to my instructions, I am willing to pay you another reward and prepare five hundred-year-old mountain ginsengs."
Su Qianqian looked around and saw that there was no place to hide anyone, so she spoke.
Gu Wu took off her veil, revealing a pretty face that looked no more than twenty years old. Her face looked very strange with her silver hair.
"I have always been trustworthy. Although I am seeking money, I have always done it in a proper way. This young lady wants me to break my promise, but she will have to pay a good price."
The voice that Gu Wu spoke was extremely inconsistent with this face.
Su Qianqian: Am I such a failure in pretending?
"Grandma Gu gave me five thousand taels more and five hundred-year-old ginsengs. Isn't this price fair enough?"
Su Qianqian felt distressed. All the money she earned from selling tomatoes to the wife of Duke Xuan was gone just like that. However, it was worth it for the sake of her brother's future success.
"The person I have offended this time is someone I cannot afford to offend. After this, I will never dare to set foot in Xijing again. Since you have cut off my path to wealth, you must give me some compensation. Add another three thousand taels, and I will be a traitor for once."
Gu Wu's eyes were as clear as a young girl's, but in Su Qianqian's eyes, they looked cold and chilling.
"I am willing to compensate you with these three thousand taels, but how can Granny Gu guarantee that she will not do anything unjust to us again?"
Du said.
"Madam, don't worry. I will make you believe it. I just want this young lady and your husband to play a trick with me. When my son returns safely, I will leave Xijing. Whatever happens next will have nothing to do with me."
Gu Wu said gloomily.
"Do you know who I am?" Su Qianqian didn't expect this old woman to be so smart.
"Hey, give me the money, and I'll make sure you understand clearly."
Su Qianqian glanced at Su Mu, who was a little embarrassed to take out the silver bills. Du came over to stop him, took out eight thousand taels of silver bills from her sleeve and gave them to Gu, and stuffed the rest back into her sleeve.
Su Qianqian was shocked. Do you need to bring 12,000 taels of silver just to go shopping?
Mrs. Du: Who knows the trouble of having money but nowhere to spend it?
"Okay, madam, you are straightforward." Gu Wu put away the banknotes and fiddled with the puppet in her hand, but her eyes fell on Su Qianqian.
"The person that Miss Su wants to get rid of is the mistress of Wuning Marquis's Mansion, Su. How many noble ladies can there be who have a relationship with Miss Su? It's just you sisters.
The wife of the prince of Duke Xuan is now bedridden, so naturally you are the one I want to take action against. ”
Su Qianqian didn't expect that the target was actually herself. She secretly felt lucky, thinking that this was really a stroke of luck.
Dianfeng swung his big tail vigorously under her feet.
"Then please tell me in detail, mother-in-law." Su Qianqian was still calm.
"I have two kinds of poisonous insects that are extremely difficult to feed, so this price is very fair."
"There is a kind of Gu called the Soul-Chasing and Life-Snatching Gu. As long as you know the birth date of the person who has been poisoned, and have the utensils she has used, the Guworm can find her and enter her body within a hundred miles. The person will cough up blood within three days, and die of vomiting blood after seven days."
Gu Wu sneered complacently, but Su Qianqian felt a chill all over her body.
"Another type of Gu is called the Yin Yang Tongxin Gu. It also requires the birth dates of a man and a woman, and the blood of one person is fed to the Gu. When the Gu falls on the other person, the two will fall in love and remain loyal to each other until death."
There was a hint of cruelty in Gu Wu's voice. As if she remembered something, she threw the puppet to the ground and stepped on it.
"So, Miss Su wants me to vomit blood and die, and to love my husband till death?"
Su Qianqian smiled.
