123 Uncover(1/2)
Gu Yanfei suddenly grabbed the armrest of the Taishi Chair, and his fingertips turned slightly white due to the force, a chill rose in his heart and his eyes gradually became cold.
My elder brother's skin turned wheat-colored due to long-term sun exposure, and his face was smooth. At least there were no acne scars visible to her naked eyes. There were calluses left by martial arts in the palm of her palm, and several fine scars on her wrists and backs.
She also diagnosed Gu Yuan's pulse. Judging from the pulse pattern, Gu Yuan was healthy and showed no sign of loss.
The most important thing is...
In the last life, Gu Yuan would die of smallpox in two years.
The eldest brother broke his leg and lost his job at that time. The eldest wife had no position in the Marquis' Mansion.
But even so, the grandmother still refused to separate the family and let the eldest wife be punished by others. The eldest brother tried his best to protect her until she was infected with smallpox and could not feel at ease with her until she died.
Smallpox is terrible, but as long as you have smallpox once, you will never get it again!
The strong wind roared and brought cold air from the window, almost blowing out the oil lamp, and the light shrank into a small dot.
The room suddenly became much darker, making Gu Yanfei's face look dim and unclear.
After a while, Gu Yanfei asked calmly: "Madam, you took care of him by your elder brother back then. Did you really get smallpox?"
She asked this, and she already had the answer in her heart.
Mrs. Gu tried her best to drive Madam Pang away from her elder brother. Now, she even dared to kill people.
There is only one possibility—
To silence.
Madam Pang was stunned by Gu Yanfei's questioning, looked at her blankly, and said, "It's smallpox. How could it be not?"
"At that time, many doctors came to the mansion, as well as the Jingjing Zhenren from Wuliangguan, all of which were said to be smallpox."
"The eldest young master is dying of illness..."
The incident fourteen years ago clearly appeared in Madam Pang's mind. She still remembered that she was worried and frightened during that period and couldn't sleep well. She prayed to God and Buddha every day, hoping that God and Buddha could bless the eldest young master to safely survive this disaster.
When no one talks, the inside and the house are very quiet, making the wind outside the house particularly sharp, and the trees in the courtyard are creaking by the strong wind.
"At that time, did the nanny meet the elder brother?" Gu Yanfei asked again.
In her previous life, she couldn't understand that even though there was war in Sishui County at that time, it was far from the point of losing.
My father went to guard the city ahead. As long as my mother stayed well in Huling City behind, she would be safer than if she was a pregnant woman who ran out to "refuge"!
It turns out that she is for the elder brother...
Gu Yanfei felt a burst of cramps in his heart, and his fingertips were pale and almost transparent.
Madam Pang's throat was astringent and bitter, and she shook her head weakly: "Never. Because smallpox is contagious, the lady sent Lao Nu and Ci Hetang's servants out of the house."
"During that period, only the Madam was guarding the eldest son himself."
Smallpox is a plague, which is even more terrible than plague. People who have smallpox are equal to a life-threatening death. Once smallpox infection spreads, it is common to destroy a village, which makes people feel scared.
Back then, when Madam Pang saw the grandma taking care of the sick eldest master so hard, she was somewhat moved.
But now, after talking to Gu Yanfei, Madam Pang recalled again and felt that some places had changed, and it seemed that something had been ignored by her.
Another cold wind suddenly came in from the window, completely extinguishing the oil lamp's lights, and the house instantly fell into darkness and a darkness.
Seeing that the oil lamp was extinguished, Juan Bi groped in the dark and lit the oil lamp again.
The fire lights up little by little, illuminating Gu Yanfei's eyes first.
Under the dim light, her beautiful almond eyes were extremely bright, shining with a sword-like light.
In a trance, Madam Pang felt that she seemed to have seen the Marquis Gu Ce again.
Gu Yanfei's cold voice as wind broke through the silence: "When the nanny was driven away, was it before my father returned to Beijing?"
As far as she knows, after her mother's death, her father guarded Yangzhou for three years and never left for a moment. It was not until the sixth year of Xuanren that he returned to the capital because of the summoned by the late emperor Xuan.
"Yes." Madam Pang nodded, and it was so difficult to say a word.
She still remembered that at that time, the Marquis's mansion was happily saying that the Marquis was about to return triumphantly, and she also told the eldest son that this was what she said.
"I understand." Gu Yanfei said meaninglessly.
smallpox.
These two words pierced deeply in her heart like a sharp blade, and the sharp blade repeatedly stirred in her heart.
A shrill blood flashed through Gu Yanfei's eyes.
My heart was constantly surging like a violent wave, one wave after another, one wave higher and one wave higher.
She couldn't help but think that if the eldest brother had not been "in dying" fourteen years ago, then her mother would not have rushed back to the capital from Sishui County, and even had premature birth on the way.
Nothing will be like this now...
If my mother's death was not an accident, but a conspiracy by others.
So how innocent my short life was in my last life...
Gu Yanfei rose up, his heart surging, and he only said: "Madam, you can rest. Recover the wound first. Your health is the most important thing."
Madam Pang looked at Gu Yanfei's slender back and wanted to call her, but in the end she didn't say anything, her mind became even more confused.
Gu Yanfei strode out of the east wing room, and stopped until he arrived at the corridor. He looked up at the night sky full of wind and snow in front of him, looked towards the direction of the capital, and looked at someone she could not see at all at the moment...
The dense snowflakes swelled with the wind, but Gu Yanfei didn't care, as if he couldn't feel the chill at all.
The memories of the previous life appeared before her again, and the pain, regret, pain, grief and anger... all rushed towards her and almost swallowed her.
Her inner demon grew wildly again, and the blood in her eyes became thicker, and she spread her teeth and claws in her dark pupils.
There was a voice in my heart roaring:
Why?!
What is her life for?!
She felt like a wild beast in her body wanted to release it madly, and the blood in her pupils surging, almost completely occupying her eyes...
The eyes are red.
Suddenly, a hint of coolness penetrated into the brain from the pores of the scalp, and the coolness washed the brain.
In an instant, it was as if someone poured a basin of cold water on her face, and her thoughts became clear.
Gu Yanfei raised his hand and stroked the white plum blossom hairpin with his hair tied. The touch below his finger was cool, delicate and smooth.
Her emotions that had been out of control slowly calmed down...
She still stood in the wind, her clothes flying, dancing gracefully, as if she was about to leave with the wind.
"Girl, be careful of catching a cold."
Juanbi hurriedly chased her, put on a thick cloak, and looked at her with some concern.
Thinking that Madam Pang had just said a lot about the Marquis and his wife, Juan Bi guessed in her heart whether the girl was sad about it.
People cannot be resurrected when they die, and Juan Bi doesn't know how to comfort her girl, so she can only stay by her side silently.
Gu Yanfei stood there, motionless.
The coolness of the hairpin continued to impact her manic mood, and the blood in her eyes gradually faded...
Master said that her Taoist heart has not been cultivated enough, so she is tired of the inner demons again and again.
The way of heaven has its own arrangements for everyone's destiny.
The way of heaven in this small world pampered Gu Yunhao, which was something she knew in her previous life.
Her previous life was only a few decades. After all, she was just a stepping stone arranged by Tiandao for Gu Yunhao.
Her misfortune made Gu Yunhao’s happiness.
Gu Yanfei's lips curled a sarcastic curve, and his fingers rubbed the plum blossom hairpin over and over again. Feeling the shape and patterns of the hairpin under his hand, a figure in white clothes as snow appeared in his mind.
She couldn't help but think of Chu Yi.
After all, she is the stepping stone for the daughter of destiny, so Chu Yi is much more miserable...
"Puff."
Gu Yanfei laughed happily, and his laughter was like a sing of orioles.
Fortunately, there is Chu Yi in this world. They are both abandoned by the way of heaven, so she is not alone.
Gu Yanfei's mood was completely calmed down, his eyes returned to normal, and there were a few stars in it.
Seeing that she finally smiled, Juan Bi felt relieved and pointed to the front with amused voice and said, "Girl, look at how good the red plum blossoms here are, it is not worse than the ones in the mansion."
The two red plum trees in the courtyard are covered with white snow, and the bright red plum blossoms are blooming in the wind, energetic in the cold wind, and the fragrant and clear plum fragrance fills the wind...
"It smells so good." Juan Bi's small nose moved, and she narrowed her eyes slightly intoxicatedly, "Would you like to break a piece of paper for the girl and insert it into a bottle?"
Juan Bi was about to walk out of the corridor, but she felt her cuffs tight and Gu Yanfei pulled her sleeves.
"etc!"
After hearing what Gu Yanfei said, Juan Bi stopped and turned to look at Gu Yanfei.
To be continued...
