Chapter 77 Retribution
77 Retribution
Gu Yanfei tilted her head with a smile, but Madam Gu frowned even more. She did not know what Gu Yanfei was up to.
Meeting Madam Gu’s angry eyes, Gu Yanfei raised her hand and casually pinched her fingers with her thumb.
This simple action was done by her, inexplicably giving off an unfathomable feeling.
Madam Gu had also seen some enlightened people with profound Tao techniques calculate and could not help but be stunned at the girl’s decent posture.
!!
As she examined her, Gu Yanfei looked up at her and said, “Madam, have you had a nightmare recently?”
Madam Gu’s eyes widened slightly and she immediately recalled that strange dream. Her hand that was holding the prayer beads trembled violently.
In her dream, she became a cat at the mercy of others and died a tragic death.
After that dream, she often had nightmares. Sometimes, she dreamed of herself dying. Sometimes, she dreamed of the day her eldest son, Gu Ce, died. Sometimes, she dreamed that her second son, Gu Jian, and her grandchildren also died in vain…
She had been wondering if she had hurt her virtue by killing a cat in the past.
However, how did Gu Yanfei know?
Madam Gu’s gaze was exceptionally sharp.
Gu Yanfei stroked her sleeve and said calmly, “Dreams are often a sign.”
“This nightmare was supposed to be a reminder to Madam. Unfortunately, Madam ignored it and didn’t restrain herself.”
“You’ve killed too many people. It seems that retribution will befall your descendants.”
“Second Sister, stop being so mysterious.” Gu Yunrong endured it and finally could not help but retort.
Even though she had always been kind and slick, she could not put on a good expression when facing Gu Yanfei.
“Third Sister, don’t interrupt,” Gu Yunzhen scolded Gu Yunrong gently, like an elder sister.
With that, she looked at Gu Yanfei seriously.
“Madam, don’t you believe me?” Gu Yanfei chuckled softly. As she raised her hand and calculated with her fingers again, the casual smile on her face deepened. “First your son, then your grandson.”
The last word was like a sigh.
Son?! The faces of Gu Jian and her other sons appeared in Madam Gu’s mind, and her expression changed again.
What Gu Yanfei meant was that Gu Jian and the others would encounter some calamity?!
Was this girl talking nonsense, or…
As she was thinking, Madam Gu’s gaze landed on a few red plums outside the window.
The red plum blossoms were beautiful and bloomed in full swing in the cold wind. In the past, she thought it was festive, but at this moment, she felt that this blood-like red emitted an ominous aura.
Gu Yunrong snorted at these life skills in her heart and tried her best to be tactful. “Grandma, this is a superst.i.tion…”
This was superst.i.tion and could not be trusted.
Before she could finish, a breathless female voice interrupted. “Madam!”
Outside, a sweating maidservant in green ran toward them. As she ran, she shouted intermittently, “Madam!”
Granny Li, who was guarding outside the house, did not dare to stop her. The old woman in green walked into the central room with trembling legs and bowed to Madam Gu. “Madam, the Marquis was thrown off a startled horse and has injured his leg!”
Like a thunderclap, time seemed to stop for a moment.
Madam Gu’s eyelids twitched a few times as she looked at Gu Yanfei in shock. A subtle crack appeared in her originally firm heart. This girl was right… No, her calculation was right!!
In the next moment, Gu Yunrong met Gu Yanfei’s bright pupils and her heart skipped a beat.
“Next, it’ll be you.” Gu Yanfei’s voice was clear and cold, like a clear ice spring flowing past.
Gu Yunrong frowned slightly. She still did not believe in divination, but Madam Gu was even more agitated than her and hurriedly reprimanded, “Enough! What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Other than surprise, there was also a hint of uneasiness in Madam Gu’s eyes. She was afraid that Gu Yanfei would be right again.
Gu Yanfei’s expression did not change, and she still said casually with a smile on her face, “Madam will know soon if I’m talking nonsense.”
“I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is coming to propose marriage.”
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was about to propose marriage!
These words echoed in Madam Gu’s ears like a valley echo.
“…” Madam Gu’s heart seemed to be beating like a drum. The crack in her heart was spreading rapidly and she was uneasy.
Gu Yanfei was just short of saying that there would be twists and turns in Gu Yunrong’s marriage…
No, it won’t.
Madam Gu told herself that Rong’er had been lucky since she was young and had always had a smooth-sailing life.
“You’re misleading the public!” Madam Gu’s eyes were uncertain as she berated in a low voice, “Someone, bring the Second Lady back to Yuheng Garden and watch her carefully.”
What she meant was that she had ordered Gu Yanfei to be grounded.
When the two maidservants outside heard this, they walked in in bewilderment.
They had not heard what Madam Gu and the Second Lady had said just now, but from Madam Gu’s furious expression, they could tell that this was no small matter.
“It’s useless.” Gu Yanfei stood up with a smile and casually stroked her dress, unperturbed. “My divination can’t be wrong. The wind in this swamp is strong, and the external divination is Dui, pointing at water. The internal divination is Xun, pointing at wood. It’s not appropriate to drown wood in water.”
“If Madam doesn’t believe me, just wait.”
“Three days.”
Gu Yanfei’s smile was firm and unfathomable, as if she had already seen through it all. Madam Gu’s heart skipped a beat.
Gu Yunzhen, who had just opened her mouth, silently shut her mouth. Her eyes darted around as she thought to herself, ‘It seems that my Second Sister has her own plans. There’s no need for me to plead for leniency.’
Gu Yanfei flicked her sleeve and left leisurely. In the end, she said lightly, “I’ll wait for Madam in Yuheng Garden.”
...
As she spoke, she stepped out of the central room, her words blown away by the cold wind.
The girl’s dress fluttered in the wind, and her black hair fluttered. She looked indescribably carefree and elegant.
As she watched Gu Yanfei leave, Madam Gu felt as if countless ants were crawling in her heart. She did not expect Gu Yanfei to leave so decisively.
Gu Yanfei walked further and further away, and her slender figure quickly disappeared into the forest at the entrance of the courtyard.
Accompanied by the two old women, Gu Yanfei returned to Yuheng Garden with Juan Bi.
Madam Gu had given her a grounding order not to go out. Hence, a few old women took turns guarding Yuheng Garden for three consecutive days.
However, to Gu Yanfei, this grounding order was unimportant. In any case, she had no intention of going out.
Even if Gu Yanfei did not go out, she would know a lot.
For example, a maidservant called Du Juan in Gu Yunzhen’s courtyard secretly copied out the prescription she had given Gu Yunzhen and gave it to Xia Lian.
For example, Gu Yunrong had asked Xia Lian to make a trip to the British Mansion.
For example, after Fang Mingfeng received the prescription and heard the servant’s “message”, he cried tears of joy and almost went crazy.
...
Gu Yanfei smiled and quickly finished reading the messenger pigeon in her hand, then casually threw it into the charcoal brazier. Bright yellow flames rose from the charcoal and engulfed the silk paper in the blink of an eye…
