Chapter 308: Drawing Gu

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At that time, Gu Yanfei would be the one with a flawed reputation. It wouldn’t hinder his son, nor would it affect his son’s future marriage proposal.

But such a simple matter was full of twists and turns…

Every time Madam Yu thought of the words she had blurted out in front of her son that day, she was extremely vexed. If she hadn’t said those words back then, her son wouldn’t have been so agitated that he would have impulsively gone to the Gu family and been injured like that.

After that, Madam Yu thought about it repeatedly. She felt that her hot-headed state that day wasn’t right. Now that she thought about what happened today, her heart began to beat uncontrollably, and her heart was in a mess.

Surnamed Gu, from the Dingyuan Marquis Household? The Yu Family Head frowned and said thoughtfully, “I remember Shangqing saying that there was an expert in the Dingyuan Marquis Household who interfered and caused the Murong clan’s matter to fall through, causing him to suffer a backlash.” When Madam Yu heard this, she was stunned.

She had seen Shangqing suffer from a backlash. His appearance was neither human nor ghostly, and she could barely look at him directly.

Shangqing was born with a Dao bone and was proud and arrogant. In the past 40 years, everything has been smooth-sailing. After entering Wuliang Temple, he had made a name for himself. In the temple, he was only below the Temple Master and had never suffered any setbacks.

Shangqing only briefly mentioned the matter of the backlash. They wanted to ask clearly, so he flew into a rage and left.

Could it be that the “expert” that Shangqing mentioned was Gu Yanfei?!

Was it Gu Yanfei who caused Shangqing to become like that?!

When she thought of this possibility, Madam Yu felt as if there were countless ants gnawing at her heart, and her fingers dug deeply into her palm.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down so she could think clearly. Once could be said to be a coincidence, but twice or three times wasn’t something that “accidentally” could explain.

That’s right, the expert that Shangqing was talking about must be Gu Yanfei!

Madam Yu immediately said, “Brother, you can’t stay in the capital anymore. To be safe, you should leave quickly and return to Yuzhou first.”

The Yu Family Head was shocked by the Yu Family Head and couldn’t help but ask, “Second Sister, why are you panicking?”

Although the current situation isn’t good, it shouldn’t be this bad.

Shangqing knew the pros and cons and wouldn’t easily implicate the Yu family. Second Sister is a woman after all.. The Yu Family Head lamented in his heart.

“Brother, it’s better to be cautious,” Madam Yu said seriously. When she thought of what would happen to the Murong family and Shangqing, the uneasiness in her heart intensified. “Brother, with the British Monarchy around, I’ll be fine. However, if our Yu family loses you, there’s no hope for us to prosper in the future.”

Emperor Taizu suppressed the aristocratic families, and the Yu family was the maternal family of the last Empress of the previous dynasty. Their situation was more or less awkward.

In the past 50 years, the Yu Family has been cautious. It was only when she married into the British Monarchy that she was considered to have caught the eye of the other aristocratic families.

After so many years of operation, the Yu Family had barely improved. If they took a wrong step at this time, all their previous efforts would be in vain. Not to mention restoring the family’s former glory, the Yu Family would probably be completely destroyed.

The Yu Family couldn’t afford to lose!

“Alright, then I’ll return to Yuzhou first.” The Yu Family Head decided to listen to the Yu Family. He immediately stood up and instructed the head butler to quickly prepare the carriage.

After the Yu Family Head left, only some people from the Yu Family were left sitting in the hall in a daze, restless and waiting for the next group to report.

Madam Yu looked sharply through the open window in the direction of the palace.

She wished she could open her Heavenly Eye and see what Gu Yanfei was doing.

Not only Madam Yu, but the commoners from Chengtian Gate to Chang’an’s right gate were also staring at Gu Yanfei.

Gu.

They had only heard of it but had never seen it before.

There was no lack of stories about Miao people, sorcerers, and voodoo among the strange rumors circulating among the people. There were stories of Miao women poisoning their lovers and their lovers losing their lives because of the voodoo poison. There were also legends of those sorcerers poisoning their enemies to take revenge, harming their entire family.

Every single one of them was related to human lives, and it was as if they wouldn’t rest until one of them died.

The commoners discussed the Gu worms and felt their blood run cold.

At this moment, no one wanted to leave. They wanted to see if the eldest princess was really poisoned and how this matter would end.

The square from Chengtian Gate to Chang’an’s right gate was like the rising and falling of a tidal wave.

After a while, Eunuch He hurried over with a wooden box.

“Second Lady Gu, this is the incense you wanted.” Eunuch He respectfully handed the box to Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei took out an incense stick from the box and sniffed it.

Resting Fragrance, Appetite Fragrance, Seduction Fragrance, Mugwort Grass… They were all here.

“Very good.” Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows in satisfaction. She sighed in her heart that the spices and medicinal herbs in the palace were really complete. In such a short period of time, she had gathered more than ten types of things that she wanted and even made them into incense.

Gu Yanfei casually picked up the incense stick and leaned over to the wheelchair. She said gently, “It might hurt a little later. Bear with it.” “I’m not afraid of pain,” An Le said obediently, her voice soft.

She wanted to pat her chest to show her determination, but she was too weak, and her arms didn’t listen to her at all.

Gu Yanfei’s heart softened. She reminded Chu Yi again, “Hold her in a while.

Don’t let her move.”

Chu Yi nodded slightly.

Gu Yanfei casually flicked the incense stick. One end of the incense stick ignited without a fire, and a thin wisp of green smoke floated out.

This scene made the surrounding commoners exclaim in surprise. Words like “Goddess Descends to the World”, ‘Mystical Power”, and “High Mana” floated over again.

The corners of Gu Yanfei’s eyes twitched imperceptibly. She shook the goosebumps all over her body and cursed Xia Houqing again.

Wisps of green smoke floated in the air.

The fragrance of the incense was very unique. It was mixed with the fragrance of pines and cypresses. It was simple and distant, like silk, dispelling the gloomy and cold air..
