Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand
I woke up from a dream and was haunted by nightmares.
Lin Zhen heard a low whimpering sound.
He was stunned for a moment before realizing that the source of the voice was himself.
He raised his hand to wipe away tears from his face.
He had lived a life of pain and helplessness. The cold-blooded Gu San, the utilitarian Lin mother, and the ruthless Lin father hiding behind Lin mother, all of these people dealt him a heavy blow, but that long dream also made him see clearly that it was himself who pushed him to where he is today.
The nanny who fetched water in the morning saw how sad he was and also shed tears.
She and Lin Zhen have been through thick and thin together and have a deep relationship.
She hated the cruelty of the master family, who only gave Lin Zhen superficial respect and secretly treated him as a tool, even publicly branding him "jealous" and treating him as an outsider. Normally, they would rush Lin Zhen to clean up the mess, but when the time came, they refused to give him even a little benefit and were constantly hindered by them.
It's difficult for Lin Zhen to be a mistress. Even at this point, Lin Zhen's money box is empty.
The people in the Gu family are ruthless and eat people without leaving any bones.
The two of them leaned against each other and cried in low voices for a while, then packed up and returned to Xiucheng.
After two days of walking, when they were almost there, someone came hurriedly and urged the mistress to go back and take charge of the situation.
"...The master has gone mad." The servant was panting, his tone was very panicked.
"...He was fine when he went to bed last night, but he was very sick when he woke up this morning. I heard that he had a strange dream. He was shouting to see you early in the morning, saying that only you could save him." Lin Zhen lay on the soft couch in the carriage, closed his eyes and listened to the nanny's detailed explanation.
"...He would smash the mirror whenever he saw it, as if he couldn't stand the sight of that face...The dignified head of the Gu family, in broad daylight, ran outside with his hair loose, shouting and yelling, saying weird things like a madman, and ignored anyone who tried to persuade him, cursing, 'You're not a human being!'" The nanny said, with a strange smile on her face.
"I'm afraid the hosting is fake, and the accountability is real. I'm afraid they will say that the feng shui of my Lin family has hindered him." Lin Zhen thought more than the nanny, and he frowned slightly.
The nanny didn't dare to smile anymore. The corners of her mouth drooped, revealing a bitter expression.
When Lin Zhen arrived at the Gu family, he was pushed by the Gu family to meet Gu San before he even washed his face.
In the side courtyard of the Gu family, Gu San was in a miserable state with his hands and feet tied up, his eyes red and frightened, like a brutally abused Omega.
The head of the family went crazy for unknown reasons, and the Gu family naturally refused to accept it. They had to spend a lot of effort to invite the court pharmacist Lin Da to come and see the doctor.
When Lin Zhen came over, he saw Lin Da shaking his head and saying helplessly, "He's been poisoned by a Gu, a heart Gu."
The heart poison is invisible.
The only way is to save yourself.
This kind of Gu has not appeared in the world for a long time. There is only one female Omega named Miao Xu who can grow it, but she disappeared ten years ago. Her bounty is still hanging on the wall of the city gate.
"Heart Gu?" The Gu family was horrified. "How did my third brother/uncle offend that female devil?"
They looked at each other, and when they looked at Lin Zhen again, their originally hostile expressions gradually eased.
Lin Zhen knew that it was contempt.
The people in the Gu family obviously did not think that a wife like Lin Zhen, who was trapped in a deep mansion and only knew about love and jealousy, could have any friendship with the devil Miao Xu.
Lin Zhen gave a mocking smile. It was true that he and Miao Xu did not know each other, but he had worked diligently for the Gu family for so many years, but these people seemed to have no regard for their old friendship. If they had the slightest connection with Lin Zhen, they would have taken the opportunity to divorce him and kicked him out, under the pretext of giving an explanation to Gu San, and then hypocritically used the excuse that "a family cannot be without a master for a day" to hastily appoint another head of the family.
Su Liu was sitting in a teahouse not far from the Gu family mansion drinking tea.
The little chinchilla was like a pancake, lying on Qi Fengling's legs with its limbs spread out to cool off.
Sitting next to them were Luyao and Sutao.
Su Liu watched the lively atmosphere in the Gu family with a smile, occasionally communicating with Qi Fengling with her eyes.
The character Miao Xu is the heroine of the original book "Voice of the Heart". She had a very unfortunate childhood. After escaping from "Dawn of Tomorrow" at the age of fifteen, she lived in seclusion in an unknown mountain village.
She looks very ordinary, even a little ugly, but she has a very extraordinary husband.
That was the handsome man she had abducted using the "heart poison".
In the original book, this infatuated love story was written in great detail. It seemed so sad from whichever side's perspective one stood on, making people wonder who to hate.
But Su Liu knew that what happened to the Gu family was definitely not her doing. Rather than teaching a lesson to a bad guy like Gu San who could be found everywhere, Miao Xu was more afraid of revealing her identity and letting "The Dawn of Tomorrow" regain control of her life and death.
This time, she obviously took the blame for Su Liu's little chinchilla.
The court pharmacist Lin Da soon left in a carriage.
Lin Da didn't look very old, maybe around thirty at most, with a pale and compassionate face, like a detached spectator.
Su Liu glanced in the direction she went, raised an eyebrow and signaled to Qi Fengling: This pharmacist is a bit weird. Although Gu San's crazy look is very similar to the "Heart Gu", she said it was the "Heart Gu" without much doubt. It doesn't seem to be the level of the top three, unless she is also looking for Miao Li.
Qi Fengling nodded slightly in affirmation.
Su Liu smiled and took a sip of tea.
It's really hard to see the light without seeing the darkness. This palace pharmacist is incredible. His Majesty the King is always thinking about eradicating "The Dawn of Tomorrow". Does he know that his pharmacist is also a member of "The Dawn of Tomorrow"...
The two vampires exchanged a few words with their eyes, then drank their tea and looked at the scenery of the embroidered city.
Xiucheng is not as attractive as Taocheng, nor as full of cultural atmosphere as Nancheng. The decay and prosperity of Xiucheng blend together like water and milk, without distinction between good and evil.
Not long ago, Lin Shu sent someone to conduct a background check on the girl from the Gu family who was sold to Pin Village.
Although Lin Zhen, the mistress of the Gu family, spoke viciously, she did not do anything extreme. At the beginning, she just ordered her subordinates to send her far away and not to come back to bother him. So the nanny sold this little girl to a family with no descendants in Taocheng as a goddaughter. The old couple in that family were both frail and sickly. If she was filial, the things they left for her would be enough for her to live a comfortable life.
But she was not satisfied.
"So smelly, so dirty! Why are you two old fools so smelly and dirty? Are you doing it on purpose?"
"What are you eating peanuts and pickles for? Are your teeth okay? Stop ordering me around every day. Do you really think you're the boss?"
"Go get me some hot water! I want to take a shower! It stinks!"
"...Just have a bowl of porridge. What side dishes do you want? I'll tell you again, stay out of trouble. Do you understand? If you keep howling and crying, I'll beat you up."
"What do you mean by your money? That's all mine. Where did you get the money?"
"People like you should just die when you reach seventy. What are you living so long for? You're just causing trouble!"
"Why buy this stuff? You've been ripped off, you old bastard. What? What did you say? You're still challenging me. You earn money for me. It's my money, understand? How many times have I told you this? Are you deaf? Why can't you understand what I'm saying?"
The town is not big, and what she said spread everywhere.
"...That little girl, she's not very old, but her mouth is really foul. She says this is stinky, that is stinky, and every word she says is dirty. In my opinion, her heart is stinkier than anyone else's, dirtier than anyone else's!"
"...How could that be? She escaped after less than seven days. Who knows where she went?"
"...It's been years, maybe fifteen. The old couple was really pitiful. All their money was stolen by that girl. Later, a female Beta who lived next door couldn't stand it and killed them."
"If I had known they wanted a daughter so badly, I would have given my daughter to them for adoption. Our town is so small, we know her well enough. Why would we need to go to Xiucheng to buy her?"
"That little bastard is so wicked... She even boasted to us that she's from some side branch of the Gu family in Taocheng. Hey, to put it bluntly, she just wants us to serve her for free. Ha, with her heartless and sarcastic attitude, she deserves to be kicked out of the house!"
After Sichun absconded with the money, she was quickly scammed due to her lack of social experience. She wandered around for ten years, neither rising to high nor low, until she was finally recognized in Xiucheng by one of Lin Zhen's men. He happened to have a history with Sichun, and, furthermore, the mistress had warned her, "If Sichun dared to show up in Xiucheng again, she would be subjected to a fate worse than death." So, he secretly silenced her and sold her to Pin Village.
This is also the reason why Sichun never says that she is from Xiucheng even when she suffers from hysteria.
Bringing out all the things about her sexual desire one by one confirmed Lin Zhen's previous evaluation of her: she was ambitious and never satisfied.
At this time, in the main house of the Gu family.
The elders held a meeting.
There were only two things going on at the meeting.
One thing is naturally to appoint a new head of the family.
Another more important thing is to discuss the price to be paid after joining Spark City.
Lin Zhen was not qualified to participate in such a meeting. He stayed quietly in the back house, lying in a rocking chair in a daze.
The nanny was relaying the details of the master's madness last night.
"...One moment he said he wasn't Gu San, the next moment he said Gu San had beaten him. He looked mad and terrifying."
Let’s go back two days.
Gu San and a group of clansmen took advantage of the Lin family banquet to secretly observe Su Liu. For some reason, they always felt that Su Liu was not an easy person to get along with. Other ideas came to their mind, so they asked Gu Liu to stay and serve the city lord, and they rushed back to Xiucheng overnight and continued to discuss the matter behind closed doors.
A group of people discussed it back and forth for two days and one night, and they were almost exhausted.
Gu San couldn't stand it any longer and went to sleep first...
It was a very long dream.
At first, Gu San knew he was dreaming.
Later, the dream seemed to come true.
He was walking down a deserted street.
That street looked like the kind of snack street commonly found in corners of the city.
He often went there. It was a place where all kinds of people mixed together and was perfect for debauchery.
Since Ayin got old, he raised a few soft and tender little Os. It seemed that he was hungry after being held back for two days, and he even started thinking about that thing in his dreams.
Gu San's heart was full of anticipation, and his throat felt dry and dry.
But he didn't expect that he could never reach the place he wanted to go.
This street looks crowded and narrow, but it has many twists and turns.
As Gu San walked, he suddenly felt that the building in front of him became much taller.
The road is getting longer and longer.
"Lin Zhen! Why don't you come over and study? Who allowed you to sneak out?"
Before he could finish his words, Gu San felt a burning pain on his face.
Who dares to hit him?
Gu San covered his face with his hands angrily and got up from the ground.
It was a nanny he had met once. She was his old, ugly and vicious wife, the nanny who served Lin Zhen's mother.
"Who are you to deserve to hit me?" Gu San was furious.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gu San was stunned. Why did the voice of a young Omega come out of his throat?
"Rebellion?" Lin's mother came out and slapped him hard. "Who taught you to talk like that?"
