The conversation between the brother and sister sounded like a thorn in Gu Jian's ears. Gu Jian's face became a little ugly and her eyes wandered.

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Jian condescendingly, taking in the subtle changes in his expression.

Even if he didn't understand it at first, he understands it now.

A sharp light like a sword's edge flashed in Gu Yuan's deep black phoenix eyes, cold and profound.

"Here it comes, the stretcher is here!" I don't know who shouted, and not far away I saw two guards from the Hou Mansion hurriedly carrying an empty stretcher.

They didn't bother to salute their masters, and carefully lifted Gu Jian on the ground onto the stretcher. Gu Jian let out a low groan from the pain, and the cold sweat almost soaked her temples, as if she had been fished out of the water.

Like a fish.

The servants kept talking:

"Be careful."

"Don't ever touch the Marquis."

"Master Marquis, please bear with me for a little longer. The doctor will be here soon."

"..."

Amidst the commotion, Gu Jian was carried away. A bunch of servants gathered around the stretcher. Even the broken rhinoceros horn bow was picked up from the ground by the servants.

Brother and sister Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei also followed, walking slowly at the end.

"Has the bow string been tampered with?" Gu Yuan asked Gu Yanfei softly, his voice so low that only the brother and sister could hear it.

Gu Yanfei stroked her sleeves gently, nodded her head imperceptibly, and slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Gu Yuan pointed at himself, then at Gu Yanfei, and then at Gu Jian. He said nothing, but seemed to have asked everything and guessed everything.

Gu Yanfei gently pressed an index finger on her lips and made a "shh" gesture, with a slight smile on her lips.

Gu Yuan understood and made the same "shh" gesture, feeling a warm current flow through his heart.

As if they had a little secret in common, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, their eyes slightly curved.

The sun set a little lower, and the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month became even colder, blowing away their robes, hairbands, and broken bow strings.

Gu Yanfei looked at the rhinoceros horn bow in the hands of the boy in green, touched the string of her own horn bow, and flicked it gently, and the bow string made a soft buzzing sound like a piano string.

When the boy brought this rhinoceros horn bow to her as a child, she could see that there was a faint black energy lingering on the bow, but in this small world, the methods she could use were limited.

Fortunately, the jade pendant she got last time gave her some spiritual power, so she used her spiritual power to draw an amulet on Gu Yuan's forehead to keep him safe.

At the critical moment, the amulet sensed the danger and protected the bow string.

However, her spiritual power is limited after all, and the bowstring will eventually break... She just needs to seize the opportunity.

The result is very satisfactory!

Gu Yanfei smiled slightly and walked casually.

Gu Jian was carried to Mingyi Courtyard, the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion. Madam Hou, Mrs. Wang, had people prepare soft bags, hot water, new clothes, etc.

Just as Gu Jian and the others arrived, Mrs. Gu also arrived at the back.

In the main courtyard, chickens and dogs were dancing.

When she saw Gu Jian's painful expression and her weirdly twisted right arm, Mrs. Gu took a breath of air, her feet went weak, and she staggered a little.

"Madam!" Bai Lu and other maids next to her quickly helped Mrs. Gu and helped her sit down on the chair next to the soft couch.

"Ajian, what do you think...?" Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Jian, her voice trembling.

The injury is on the son's body, and the pain is on the mother's heart.

She couldn't help but think about the fact that a few days ago, Gu Jian was frightened and fell off a horse and injured her leg. She had just recovered from the injury when she broke her arm again. How could her second son be so unlucky?!

"..." Gu Jian's lips turned white. The cold sweat had long been dried by the cold wind, and now more drops of sweat continued to leak out. It hurt so much that he couldn't even say a polite word, and it hurt so much that his whole body was in pain.

Trembling slightly.

Mrs. Gu felt extremely distressed when she saw her son like this, and her red eyes were filled with tears.

While wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she consoled her: "Jian, please bear with me, mother knows that you are in pain."

"It's okay, it's okay. When the doctor comes, he can reattach your broken bones and then you'll be fine."

"If you are really in pain, just grab my mother's hand..."

Gu Yanfei looked on indifferently, put another candy in his mouth, and stuffed one into Gu Yuan's mouth.

In her last life, she knew that Mrs. Tai was obviously better to her second son Gu Jian than her father Gu Ce, whom she had never met.

It's so good that it can take away your heart and lungs.

"Old Doctor Li, go this way."

The female voice coming from outside made everyone in the room cheer up.

An old lady anxiously led an old doctor with gray hair into the blue gauze cupboard.

After some simple greetings, Old Doctor Li sent all the other unrelated people out of the Bisha Cupboard, saying that he was going to set bones for Lord Hou. Only Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Wang, stayed inside.

Mrs. Gu, Gu Yuan, brother and sister Gu Yanfei were all waiting in the left room outside the Bisha cupboard.

"Click."

The chilling sound of bone setting and Gu Jian's sharp scream sounded at the same time.

This was just the beginning. After that, the screams came one after another, as if they were about to tear down the roof, and like thousands of needles piercing Mrs. Gu's heart.

Mrs. Gu was so distressed that she craned her neck and looked at the Bisha Cupboard several times worriedly, and hurriedly sent Nanny Li in to see how Gu Jian was doing, with a motherly heart.

She was almost restless, and when she glanced at Gu Yuan a few steps away, there was a bit of anger in her worried eyes, and she asked angrily: "Brother Yuan, what on earth is going on?

"

"Didn't your second uncle go to the martial arts arena to test your martial arts? How could he be injured?!"

She almost asked directly, did Gu Yuan hurt Gu Jian by mistake?

"..." Gu Yuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, his heart felt a little cold and heavy.

Some scenes from the past flew past his eyes like a revolving lantern.

He is the eldest grandson, and his grandmother has loved him very much since he was a child.

After his mother passed away, he lived in the capital for several years, and his grandmother personally initiated him.

In the following years, he and Gu Yunkuang traveled between the capital and Yangzhou, living in the capital for three or four months every year. His grandmother always treated them affectionately.

However, everything changed after my father passed away eight years ago.

Grandma's treatment of him suddenly became much calmer. She was always polite, as if she was separated by a layer of distance, and she seemed to be wary of him.

Five years ago, when he wanted to enter the military camp, his grandmother was furious and scolded him for taking the imperial examination to enter an official career. He had to learn from his father!

He also knew that his grandmother blamed his father for causing the Marquis to almost lose his title.

In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.

Gu Yuan's eyes were turbulent, but then they became calm, indifferent, cold and deep.

"Madam, you can't say that." Gu Yanfei raised her hand and gently snapped her fingers, looking at ease, "I told you last time that the Marquis has been in trouble recently."

Mrs. Gu frowned lightly, and the words of Gu Yanfei from last month rang in her ears again: "You have caused indiscriminate killings, and it seems that you are going to repay your descendants."

Thinking about her son being injured twice in less than a month, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but skip a beat of her heart. Her heart was agitated, and she said again: "But didn't you resolve it last time?"

Meeting Mrs. Gu's frightened eyes, Gu Yanfei asked with a smile: "Mrs. Mrs., think about it carefully, how many murders have you done?"

"As the saying goes, every code comes back to you, and this retribution must be repaid slowly one by one."

Gu Yanfei's little face was always smiling and joking, leaving Mrs. Gu speechless.

Mrs. Gu held the string of Buddhist beads nervously, but she couldn't be sure whether Gu Yanfei was pretending to be a ghost to scare her.

This girl is so wild!

"ah!"

Another heart-rending scream sounded from inside the Bisha cupboard.

Mrs. Gu's face became a little paler. She felt that her soul had been hit hard. She was so frightened that she almost jumped up. She was panicked, frightened, and uneasy. It seemed that there were pairs of invisible eyes staring at the dark corners.

She wanted her to pay for it with her life.

Bai Lu saw Mrs. Gu's expression was not good, so she quickly offered her tea, but she waved it away impatiently. Bai Lu shook her hand, and the hot tea overflowed from the cup and splashed on the back of her hand. Her face turned pale.

But Mrs. Gu didn't realize it at all.

"As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son. There is some truth to these sayings, don't you think so, Madam Tai?" Gu Yanfei's faint voice echoed through the room again. Under the background of the screams in the blue gauze cupboard, the feeling became more and more intense.

Looks cool.

Mrs. Gu's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Gu Yanfei expressionlessly, with a bit of angry embarrassment in her eyes.

What is this girl hinting at?! Is she accusing herself of favoring her second son over her eldest son?!

Meeting the opponent's sharp and turbid old eyes, Gu Yanfei remained unmoved and said slowly: "The Marquis just cut off his hand, and the wife almost passed away from crying. Eight years ago, my father died in the battle in Yangzhou, and his head was killed by the enemy."
