267 baby girl
Yuqing's thoughts couldn't help but return to that night six years ago, the night she would never forget.
Her son, who was born in nine months of pregnancy, was taken away by Xu Yan. After that, Xu Yan brought another baby girl and handed her to raise. He said that he would let their Luo Ge'er become the future heir of the Hou Mansion.
She also knew that this would be the best for her son.
But this is her son and her flesh and blood, how could she be willing to let go!
She felt hatred and resentful in her heart, resenting that the woman named Wei Wan had snatched her Xu Yan and her only son.
The baby girl who was born in the cradle cried endlessly, and her crying became more and more sharp, which made her feel very upset.
She ignored the baby girl, covered her head with a quilt and fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found that the baby girl stopped crying and her small body was glowing blue.
The baby girl died and froze to death in that thin cradle.
Thinking of this painful memory, Yuqing's face turned pale, as pale as a dead person, and her slim body trembled.
"Frozen to death?" Wei Wan's plump and pale lips trembled violently, her eyes were bright red like blood, but there were no tears. She said sternly, "You killed her, right?"
Wei Wan shouted in a breakdown, her whole heart was dazed, and her chest was blocked in one breath, and her lips were so white that it was scary.
Gu Yanfei was quick-witted and patted the Xinshu acupoint behind Wei Wan as if lightning.
Wei Wan's red eyes gradually returned to a little brighter and came back in one breath.
"Wow!" Wei Wan cried loudly, tears gushing out from her eyes, and tears flowed like a flood that broke the dike, "My child!"
She seemed to release all the grievances, anger, regrets, unwillingness and other emotions that night, and only her sad crying was left in the room.
Gu Yanfei handed a simple white handkerchief to Wei Wan, glanced at her face quietly, and then gave a look to the Duke of Wei and his wife, indicating that they would be relieved as soon as possible.
The dead aura on Wei Wan's face finally dissipated.
Her death disaster was not completely over until now!
The Duke of Wei and his wife received Gu Yanfei's look and breathed a little relieved, but their hearts were still heavy.
The truth that has been buried for six years has been revealed, but it does not mean that everything is over. It should be said that it has just begun...
The Duke of Wei sat down beside the bed, gently stroked Wei Wan's back, and comforted her softly.
Wei Wan grabbed the hand of the Duke of Wei tightly, lowering her head and sobbing.
"No, it's not me." Yuqing shook her head and murmured, "It's her that she is too weak to support her."
"Mr. Marquis, believe me!" She clenched Xu Yan's robe with one hand, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her breath was rapid, as if she was about to faint at any time.
Xu Yan gently embraced Yuqing's slender waist, "Of course I believe in you!"
Gu Yanfei's eyes faintly swept over the lovers who were deeply in love and said goodbye.
Wei Wan's death disaster has passed, and the family affairs of the Duke of Wei's Mansion are behind it, so it has nothing to do with her.
"Miss Gu Er, I really bother you today. I am so grateful..." Duke Wei bowed to Gu Yanfei in a deep voice, "The city gate has been closed now, so why don't you rest in this village tonight. We will send you back tomorrow morning."
Gu Yanfei responded as if he was good, and Duke Wei ordered an old lady to take Gu Yanfei down to rest.
The Duke of Wei was still comforting Wei Wan who was crying softly, and casting apologetic eyes at Gu Yanfei.
"Miss Gu Er, please stay!" Seeing that Gu Yanfei was about to leave, Xu Yan hurriedly shouted, and he still hugged Xu Luo, who was scratching his skin with one hand tightly.
Yuqing also reacted, walked a few steps, wanted to chase Gu Yanfei, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Miss Gu Er, please save the child..."
There was no need for Duke Wei to give orders, and a guard stopped Yuqing.
Gu Yanfei walked through the two door curtains without looking back and walked out of the wing room. Wei Wan's sob came from behind, and then Yu Qing's sad pleading sounded: "Madam... Brother Luo was raised by you personally. He called you a mother of six years. You can't ignore him."
When Gu Yanfei walked out of the door of the wing room, he could not hear anything.
A crescent moon hangs high in the night sky outside, with stars shining brightly. The night in the suburbs of Beijing is very quiet and peaceful. A few lanterns scraped under the eaves illuminate the black and deserted courtyard.
"Miss Gu Er, please come here." The fairy-in-law in Qing who led Gu Yanfei looked at her in awe, carried a lantern, and took her to the guest room to rest.
The two walked forward along the scribbling veranda.
Along the way, the old lady spoke to Gu Yanfei respectfully and enthusiastically: "Girl be careful of her feet."
"You have to eat something before resting? Although our place is simple, it is better than fresh mountain goods."
“…”
"By the way, when the girl rests at night, remember to close the doors and windows tightly. Our village is quiet at night, and there is a slight sound, and the whole village can hear it clearly."
The fairy lady in Qingyi walked all the way and also talked about it all the way, leading Gu Yanfei to the guest room on the northwest side.
Although the guest room is simple, it is considered that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and there are all things that should be available. There are also two mothers who are waiting for Gu Yanfei's orders.
As the old lady said, the sound insulation of this village was really not very good. Gu Yanfei had just finished washing up when he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the house.
She looked out through a window and saw two guards riding horses flying outside the village, and the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away...
For the people in the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, this is destined to be a long night, and Gu Yanfei has always been sleeping with a pillow and has been sleeping quite heavily.
She fell asleep with the sound of horse hooves and woke up again with the sound of horse hooves.
When she opened her eyes, she found that it was already dawn outside. In the quiet morning, the air was particularly fresh, and a little bit of slight sound was enlarged.
She could clearly hear a rapid sound of horse hooves gradually approaching, the sound of birds playing in the yard, and the sound of two mothers outside the house deliberately lowering their voices.
Gu Yanfei got up to dress. The woman outside heard the movement inside the room and came to hear the sound, but stopped outside the door and did not dare to come in casually.
The old lady responded respectfully: "Miss Gu Er, the Duke of the Kingdom and the Duke of the Kingdom's wife, please come over."
After Gu Yanfei washed up briefly, he went to the room of yesterday with the woman who was passing the message.
Today's sky is a little gloomy, with clouds stacking in the sky, stretching in a row.
When Gu Yanfei passed by, Wei Wan and Duke Wei and his wife were there, and the eyes of the three of them were covered with blood. It was obvious that they had not had a good sleep that night.
Wei Wan lies on the couch like last night, with a few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks, and she seems to have been several years old and haggard.
She looked at a small gray cloth bag placed on the table in a daze, but the size of a porcelain pillow.
Gu Yanfei only glanced at it and guessed what was inside the cloth bag, and sighed slightly in his heart.
After the few people saw the courtesy, the wife of Duke Wei looked at Wei Wan with a silence. She wanted Wei Wan to avoid it, but Wei Wan has been a strong man since she was a child and has a stubborn personality and must be present.
After the Duke of Wei asked Gu Yanfei to sit down, he corrected his expression and said with difficulty: "Yanfei, this... was found by the Duke of the State who asked him to go to the place Yuqing said overnight..."
She sighed quietly, "We don't know what to do. Is there any particularity in the burial matter? Also, should we do a ritual for this child and recite the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" for her to be saved?"
As she spoke, her voice became hoarse and tight, and there was a hint of bitterness in her words.
Gu Yanfei slowly walked to the table, looked at the cloth bag covered with mud, and then calculated with his fingers in the burning eyes of the three Wei family members.
Soon, she put her hands away and said calmly: "I will rebuilt this child, erect a tombstone, and then do a ritual, so that she can enter the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible."
This child died prematurely and was buried in a hurry, and his soul had no place to rest, so he had to be buried again so that her soul could have something to rest.
Upon hearing this, a little tears appeared in Wei Wan's red and swollen eyes, and her eyes were still staring at the cloth bag on the table.
"Then Xu Luo..." Mrs. Wei frowned and said again.
She did not sympathize with Xu Luo, but was worried that the baby girl would become an evil ghost for revenge and would never be reborn.
"Don't worry about him." Gu Yanfei said lightly, "The scar behind him is just a disease."
Finally, she added: "It has nothing to do with ghosts and gods."
The room fell into a moment of silence.
What?! The Duke of Wei and his wife looked at each other in disbelief, and even Wei Wan widened their red and swollen eyes in surprise.
"Sick?" Looking back on what I saw last night, even the Duke of Wei, who walked out of the sea of blood, felt a little chilling in the soles of his feet, and couldn't help swallowing.
"This is called 'ghost face sore', and it is named after it looks like a ghost face." Gu Yanfei explained slowly, "When the first disease occurs, there will be sporadic red spots on the back, and the condition will gradually worsen within two months. Most of them are mild and can heal themselves. However, in severe cases, a blood-red scar like a ghost face will form on the back, and the skin is prone to itching and pain, which will lead to the patient's temper becoming increasingly irritable."
"One of his father or his mother must have had this disease."
As early as when Gu Yanfei first saw the blood-red scar on Xu Luo's back, he knew that this was a disease.
