Mother Gu was stunned and asked awkwardly, "Yun Ni, are you saying that Ming Xue took Chang An away?"
Even though Gu's mother realized Mingxue's cruelty when she slandered her, after all, they had lived together for many years, and she had raised her like her own daughter. She didn't expect that she could turn against her and be so ruthless.
Gu Yunni did not deny that Kou Mingxue could attack her foolish brother, which also meant that she might attack her mother at any time, so it might not be a bad thing to let her mother see Kou Mingxue's true face as soon as possible!
"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of this matter. I will definitely bring my brother back safely. Can you wait for us at home?"
Mother Gu knew that it would be a burden for her to go with her now, so she decided to go back. She held her daughter's hand tightly, her eyes tearing as she said, "Yun Ni, I'll leave your eldest brother to you!"
Gu Yunni nodded seriously. She watched her mother stagger and disappear at the end of the street, and the smile on her face disappeared completely.
She bit her finger, drew a talisman in the air, and muttered to herself: "The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the universe borrows the law, using blood as a guide, chase!"
A ray of golden light emerged from the blood on her fingertips and ran in one direction like a well-behaved and obedient child.
She ran quickly, following closely behind the golden light.
She didn't stop until she reached a remote courtyard, panting.
She looked around and did not rush in. Instead, she waved her fingertips and watched the golden light stained with her blood go into the house.
The rustling sound in the yard suddenly became louder in her ears.
"Miss, it's not that I'm not doing my job. It's just that I went to that house and waited for a long time but I didn't see you—pah, I didn't wait for that fake guy to come back!"
Gu Yunni recognized the voice as the son of the steward of the Marquis' Mansion.
Then came Kou Mingxue's slightly shrill voice, "You useless idiots! I told you to kidnap this idiot just to lure Gu Yunni over here. Now that Gu Yunni is nowhere to be found, what's the point of having such a idiot?"
"Miss, when I came out, I seemed to see the mother of this idiot. Otherwise, I would have tied up that old woman as well. I don't believe this—"
Gu Yunni raised her foot without hesitation and kicked towards the dilapidated gate!
After a loud bang, everyone in the room was frightened and looked up, with a fleeting look of panic on their faces.
After all, they had never done anything like kidnapping, but they were of low status and had to do it in order to please the young lady.
Gu Yunni looked at him disdainfully and sneered, as if mocking Kou Mingxue's despicable means!
Kou Mingxue was so angry that she swung the whip in her hand and hit Gu Yunni in the face!
Gu Yunni grabbed the whip and said coldly, "Kou Mingxue, you are truly despicable and shameless to the extreme!"
Kou Mingxue gritted her teeth. Seeing that she couldn't pull the whip back, she gave up and threw it down. Then she said angrily, "So what if my methods are despicable? Now that you've come in here, don't even think about getting away unscathed!"
She pulled out a gleaming knife from her sleeve, placed it across Kou Yun'an's neck, and smiled sinisterly, "Gu Yunni, tell me—are your little tricks faster, or is this dagger of mine faster?"
She thought about how not only was she ignored by her father after returning home, but she also overheard that her biological parents wanted to force Gu Yunni to return to the Marquis' Mansion and were even planning to make her the Crown Princess. She was extremely unwilling to accept this.
It was obvious that she was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but her mother had replaced her personally, causing her to lose her rightful status as the eldest daughter. Now, all her hopes were placed on Gu Yunni, the fake daughter who had replaced her for more than ten years!
Gu Yunni narrowed her eyes and did not act rashly. Firstly, her current physical strength could not sustain drawing talismans again and again. Secondly, she did not have the confidence that she could save her elder brother before Kou Mingxue was watching her closely.
"Kou Mingxue, don't forget, you've called him Big Brother for over ten years! If you dare to hurt Big Brother in the slightest today, don't blame me—"
Before Gu Yunni could finish her words, Kou Mingxue brought her dagger closer to Gu Changan and said ruthlessly, "Gu Yunni, this is your elder brother, not mine. I can keep him safe and sound, as long as you agree to one condition of mine!"
"Okay, you go ahead!"
No one saw that Gu Yunni's hands, hidden under her wide sleeves, formed a mark.
Kou Mingxue threw the dagger on the ground and said viciously:
"I'll scratch your face now!"
She would not get rid of Gu Yunni so easily. She wanted Gu Yunni to be hated by everyone and to avoid the sunlight like a rat in the gutter!
By then, both the love of her parents and the position of Crown Princess will belong to her.
Gu Yunni's eyes swept over the dagger. She took a deep breath and picked up the dagger on the ground as if she had no choice.
No one noticed that when she picked up the dagger, the fear on her face disappeared, replaced by a cold look.
Then, without waiting to straighten his waist, he shot back with his left hand, and threw the luck-enhancing spell drawn in his sleeve towards Kou Mingxue first, and finally exerted force with his right hand -
The dagger, shining with cold light, stabbed directly towards Kou Mingxue's eyes with lightning speed!
Kou Mingxue widened her eyes, as if she didn't expect Gu Yunni to suddenly attack, but she immediately decided to pull Gu Changan in front of her to block the knife!
However, just when the dagger was about to touch Gu Chang'an, for some unknown reason, her hand suddenly slipped, and she watched helplessly as Gu Chang'an escaped from her control.
The dagger was now in front of her. She had no choice but to squat down, but she was still a step too late. In the end, she clearly felt the dagger sliding across her cheek!
Severe pain and fear of disfigurement instantly invaded her heart!
"ah--"
She couldn't help but scream and roared, "Someone, come and catch Gu Yunni for me!"
Gu Yunni took advantage of the moment when everyone was not reacting and grabbed Gu Chang'an, who had a dazed look on his face and was unaware of everything in front of him, pulled him in front of her and ran straight outside.
However, because of drawing talismans excessively in a short period of time, Gu Yunni's mental and physical strength were severely overdrawn. He did not run far and was surrounded by the servants who followed him.
Gu Yunni was panting, beads of sweat forming on her face. However, her frail body still managed to block Gu Changan behind her. She glared at the scowling Kou Mingxue with a mocking expression, challenging him provocatively: "So what? Didn't you want to disfigure me? Now that you've brought this upon yourself, how does it feel to have your appearance ruined?"
