Last night, when Gu Yunzhen was wiping the Old Marquisâs memorial tablet, Gu Yanfei had noticed that this memorial tablet was heavier than the other memorial tablets around it, as if it was hiding something. She had also tried to avoid Gu Yunzhen and open this memorial tablet, but unless she cut open the memorial tablet, she wouldnât be able to open it at all.
So, taking advantage of the fact that they had just asked about the memorial tablet, she quietly tampered with it to make it move at the right time.
As it turned out, there was indeed something hidden in the memorial tablet. Moreover...
Gu Yanfeiâs gaze darted to Madam Guâs still-afraid face and the corners of her lips curled up.
Moreover, there was something unspeakable hidden in the memorial tablet!
Gu Yanfeiâs dark pupils were extremely clear and faint. She shook her head and sighed. âI knew it. Grandpa is unhappy.â
Madam Gu held the memorial tablet solemnly in her hands with both hands, as if she hadnât heard anything. She quietly placed the memorial tablet back on the incense table.
But after she put it down, she was still worried. Her hands were still gripping the memorial tablet, and her body was trembling almost imperceptibly.
This was the first time Gu Jian had seen Madam like this. He felt that she looked a little strange.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Gu Jian endured the pain on his right shoulder and walked to Madam Guts side to look at the memorial tablet.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the memorial tablet was intact. Then his anger began to reignite.
âGu Yanfei, this is your grandfatherâs memorial tablet. If itâs broken, can you bear the responsibility?!â Gu Jian scolded sharply. âHave you had enough!â
However, this time, Gu Jian didnât dare to approach Gu Yanfei at all. He only dared to point at her nose and curse.
Gu Yanfei ignored Gu Jian and continued to look at Madam Guâs face, from her forehead to her eyebrows to her eyes, her nose, her lips, and finally her chin.
Her gaze was so clear that it was almost fixed, as if she wanted to engrave Madam Guts face in her heart, or see her fate through her face.
Gu Yanfei suddenly chuckled and said, âMadam, have you heard of the art of borrowing luck?â
Madam Guâs eyes widened slightly, and her hands trembled as she held the memorial tablet.
She didnât speak, and Gu Yanfei didnât expect her to answer. She had already gotten the answer she wanted from the other partyâs subtle expression.
âThere are two kinds of luck borrowing techniques among Taoist doctors. One is to flush out good fortune, and the other is...â Gu Yanfei said unhurriedly,â... a substitute.
When Gu Yanfei mentioned âsubstituteâ, Madam Gu suddenly shivered. Her hand trembled and she almost pushed down the memorial tablet.
Gu Yanfei saw her loss of composure and accurately captured the change in her expression.
Her pupils reflected a gorgeous light in the candlelight as she sighed inwardly.
It was a substitute.
Gu Yanfei remained calm and continued as if nothing had happened, âIf the Murong family wants to rush joy, they want to borrow Big Sisterâs luck and even her lifespan.â
âMadam, youâre pushing Big Sister into a fire pit.â
âEven my grandfather couldnât stand it!â
Her words ended with a sigh.
The others gasped with shocked expressions, but Third Madam Yan seemed to have been struck by lightning. The color instantly drained from her face, and she was as pale as a dead person.
Didnât they say that this joyous occasion was just to expel the evil aura that was causing trouble so that the old madam could be saved?
How could that be...
If what Gu Yanfei said was true, then once Old Madam Murong recovered from her illness, wouldnât her daughterâs lifespan be shortened?!
Madam Yan looked at Gu Yanfei with red eyes and muttered, âIs it true?
Gu Yanfei nodded affirmatively. âOf course.â
once met a family who used rushing joy to extend the groomis life. The groom indeed turned from danger to safety. The couple also had fun for a few years. However, the groomâs calamity was a dead calamity. The lifespan needed to resolve the dead calamity was multiplied. In just two years, the bride died of a difficult delivery.â
âAnother year passed and even the groom died.â
âBorrowed lifespans are never long-lasting.â
Gu Yanfei said faintly. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the shocked Madam Gu.
Madam Yanâs entire body trembled violently, and she was so frightened that her soul almost left her body.
She only took it as an excuse to bring forward the marriage. She didnât dare to take the slightest risk with her daughterâs lifespan.
Her daughter was her life.
âZhenâer.â Madam Yan hurriedly looked for Gu Yunzhen and hugged her daughter tightly.
Madam Yan really couldnât stay any longer. She wished she could bring her daughter to the White Cloud Temple to find a master to resolve the murderous aura.
âIAS for the so-called âsubstituteâ Gu Yanfei looked at Madam Gu as if she was just saying it casually.â Itâs just that this poor person found someone who matches her eight characters...
With every word she said, Madam Guâs expression darkened, her eyes became more terrified, and her heart raced..
