Chapter 769 Rupture - Annihilation
Wuyin drew her longsword, her face splattered with the blood of her biological father, but her heart felt a great sense of relief.
He finally died, and he died by his own hand.
Wuyin stared at the corpse on the ground for a long time before standing up and smiling.
From this day forward, she can finally be completely silent.
As for the abuse she suffered at the hands of her biological father during her childhood, all of that could be completely erased from her mind with the death of Shadow.
Wuqing woke up three days later. Looking at the unfamiliar room, Wuqing sighed and murmured, "I never thought I would die like this."
"Do you really want to die?"
Wuyin's somewhat playful voice reached his ears, and Wuqing thought he must be hallucinating. Otherwise, how could Wuyin, that ice-cold little firecracker, speak to him in such a tone?
He rolled over and sat up in bed, a sharp pain shooting through his body, and Wuqing couldn't help but frown.
Just then, Wuyin walked over worriedly, "You're still injured, how can you make such a big movement?"
Seeing the silence before him and then looking at the bandaged wounds on his body, Wuqing finally believed that he was not hallucinating.
"Now that he's awake, let's pack up and get ready to hit the road."
The speaker was none other than Xu Yunzhi, who was teasing the child.
Over the past few days, Xu Yunzhi has grown to like children more and more, especially his own little nephew who never cries or fusses when he's around. Xu Yunzhi likes him even more.
In the capital city.
Gu Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Wu Yin and the other person had gone to chase after the child, and at the same time, she finally began to take care of her health.
That day, Gu Shuyan had just finished drinking the ginseng soup and was talking with Meng Wei and the others when Yu Fei rushed in from outside.
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
Yufei is becoming increasingly composed; she would never show such an expression unless it was something extremely important.
Catching her breath, Yufei hurriedly handed a letter to Gu Shuyan.
"Young Master, we've found the Young Master!" Yu Fei's face was full of joy.
Gu Shuyan was also overjoyed and quickly opened the letter. It was written by Wuyin herself, explaining that they had encountered Xu Yunzhi on the road and that he had helped save the child.
"Thank God, Buddha has protected us."
After reading the letter, Gu Shuyan quickly clasped her hands together and sincerely prayed to God.
When she turned back, Gu Shuyan quickly instructed, "They will be back in five days. You go and prepare a guest room yourself." She paused, then changed her words, "No, prepare a courtyard, and have the kitchen prepare extra food. We'll give them a proper welcome back."
Seeing Gu Shuyan's happy expression, Meng Wei's eyes flickered.
However, it was a good thing that the child had been found, so Meng Wei naturally had to congratulate Gu Shuyan.
Back at the Marquis's residence that evening, Meng Wei looked at the busy Gu Renjie and couldn't help but say, "Husband, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
Seeing that Meng Wei hesitated to speak, Gu Renjie put down his pen and said, "We are husband and wife, so we can just say what we want to say. There is no such thing as whether it is appropriate or not to say it."
Seeing him say that, Meng Wei felt a little relieved. "It's about my sister. I always feel that my sister is a bit strange, especially when I think about the day she gave birth, I feel a chill down my spine."
Meng Wei, being a thoughtful and meticulous person, later tried to explain Gu Shuyan's behavior with a thousand different explanations, but ultimately failed to find a plausible answer.
Upon hearing this, Gu Renjie realized there was something he didn't know, so he pulled Meng Wei aside and asked her to tell him about what happened that day.
Upon learning that Gu Shuyan could predict her delivery time and immediately recognize that her child had been switched, even Gu Renjie frowned slightly.
The whole thing seemed very illogical, after all, they didn't believe in any kind of prophecy, and besides, if there really was such a thing as prophecy, why hadn't they discovered it before?
It seems that to find out the truth, we still need to have a serious talk with Gu Shuyan.
Thinking this to himself, but not wanting to overcomplicate things for Meng Wei, Gu Renjie could only offer the excuse that pregnant women might have some unusual premonitions to gloss over the matter.
That night, Meng Wei lay in bed, still troubled by the matter.
That night, Meng Wei had a dream in which a small snake ran into her arms and slept soundly. Slowly, the snake changed its appearance and turned into a golden dragon. Just as the dragon was about to fly into the sky, it transformed into a child lying in her arms.
The next day, Meng Wei felt so weak that she couldn't get out of bed, perhaps because she hadn't rested well.
Seeing that she looked unwell, the maid immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor.
Meng Wei initially thought that her poor sleep and low spirits were due to her chaotic dreams, but after the doctor took her pulse, he told her that she was pregnant.
Thinking of the child in her dream, Meng Wei suddenly realized that it was a hint from the dream.
Of course, Meng Wei wasn't thinking about why the child was a dragon at this moment. However, she suddenly had an explanation for Gu Shuyan's strange behavior.
Perhaps, as Gu Renjie said, pregnant women can foresee certain things in advance.
The news of Meng Wei's pregnancy quickly reached the ears of the old lady and Madam Ji. The elders of both families immediately sent a lot of tonics, especially Madam Ji, who came to see Meng Wei right away.
However, because it was still early in the month, the Marquis's residence did not send anyone to the Meng family to deliver the news.
Just as the Marquis's family was overjoyed because their daughter-in-law was pregnant, a shocking event spread throughout the capital.
"Have you heard? The entire Anguo Duke's mansion was wiped out. More than a hundred people in the entire mansion were killed, and not a single one survived."
"Heavens! The Duke of Anguo's mansion is the princess's husband's family. Who has the audacity to kill someone from the Duke of Anguo's mansion?"
"I heard that the Duke of Anguo accused the Fifth Prince of poisoning His Majesty, and His Majesty was so angry that he exiled the Fifth Prince. Who knows, this might just be someone's revenge, to avenge the Fifth Prince."
"That can't be! All the men in the Fifth Prince's maternal uncle's family are dead. Who can avenge the Fifth Prince?"
"..."
There were many different opinions both inside and outside the court, but the general conclusion was that the Duke of Anguo's family was killed in retaliation.
Only Yun Yichen and Gu Shuyan knew that Yun Yichen was the one who did it. He not only orchestrated the massacre of the Duke of Anguo's family, but he also personally participated in it.
According to Gu Shuyan's original plan, those servants who did cleaning and chores could have escaped this disaster, but who told Duke Anguo to cause trouble for no reason and actually get involved.
