Chapter 184: Not a Good Impression
Ji's words were clearly directed at the General's wife. Ji Er was her own daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law, who had been married into the General's mansion for more than ten years, was still like this. This was all due to the General's wife's poor upbringing.
When the general's wife met Ji's mocking eyes, she felt as if she were in a dream.
In her memory, after her mother died, Ji Shi became taciturn, weak and incompetent; apart from the deceased eldest son of the Ji family who doted on her, the other people in the mansion bullied her quite a bit.
But the Ji family member standing in front of her now was not only a different person, but she was even afraid to look her in the eye.
It was as if the Ji family was a high and mighty king, while she was just an ant that could be crushed at will by the other party.
"Now that you've married into a prestigious family, you don't even respect your mother anymore. Well done, General, you've raised a fine daughter!"
As the general's wife spoke, she closed her eyes and collapsed onto the old woman beside her.
The old woman, quick as a flash, helped the general's wife up and shouted, "The eldest young lady not only angered the second lady to the point of madness, but she has also angered the old lady to the point of collapse! Quickly, go and fetch a doctor!"
As soon as the old woman shouted, a maidservant immediately ran out.
Gu Shuyan stood aside and watched all of this coldly, as if the events before her had nothing to do with her. She even watched the little maid run out of the mansion without worrying at all about any news that might be detrimental to the Ji family.
“Brother Wenjin, I learned about acupoints from an old doctor a few days ago. Why don’t I take a look at the old lady?”
After the old woman had finished her act, Gu Shuyan slowly stepped forward.
Ji Wenjin had no liking for this old woman. Upon hearing this, she nodded without thinking and even personally had someone put the old lady in a chair.
The old woman was pulled aside, and before she could say anything bad, someone had already stuffed a tattered burlap sack around her throat.
Gu Shuyan slowly walked up to the general's wife, looked her over her fairly well-maintained face, and then pressed down on her philtrum.
Gu Shuyan pressed hard, and with her unkempt nails, she even broke the skin.
However, the general's wife only frowned slightly and showed no intention of waking up.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan smiled and looked at Ji Wenjin with a somewhat wicked look.
"Brother Wenjin, I've heard that the temples are closely related to a person's lifespan. Why don't we try this?"
"Alright, Sister Shu'er, please try. As long as you can wake up the old lady, you'll do whatever it takes."
Ji Wenjin's words showed that Gu Shuyan did everything for the good of the general's wife, which also gave Gu Shuyan a sense of security. Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan did not hesitate any longer and immediately had someone bring her a packet of silver needles.
"With these two needles stuck in her head, I wonder if the old lady will even have the chance to see this world one last time!"
Gu Shuyan muttered something as if regretting something, her position just right so that the General's wife could hear it clearly.
Noticing Gu Shuyan's slowly approaching body, the general's wife could no longer pretend and jumped up.
"Huh? I haven't even had the injection yet, how did I wake up?"
Gu Shuyan looked at the general's wife with confusion. Upon hearing this, the general's wife glanced at Gu Shuyan awkwardly and said, "It must be that Shuyan's previous method worked."
It was obvious that she was faking fainting, but no one at the scene cared about it because they all felt like they were meeting the general's wife for the first time.
