Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just thinking about it made Madam Hua’s heart ache. It was already aggrieved enough for her eldest son to marry a girl from such a vulgar and rude family…

Master Hua knew what Madam Hua was thinking. He nodded stiffly and said, “The young lady’s temperament is uncertain. She was happy for a moment but later went back on her word.”

“But the elders of the Lu family are willing. The two families just signed a marriage contract today,” Master Hua added.

Gu Yunrong’s heart was as clear as a mirror. She had more or less confirmed the cause and effect of the entire matter: The cause of this matter is that Lu Qin is fickle. She agreed to the marriage and wanted to cancel it halfway.

She and Wei Jiaoniang were on good terms with Gu Yanfei. This talisman was most likely Gu Yanfei’s doing.

Gu Yanfei had always been a person who helped her family. Just because Lu Qin didn’t like this marriage, Gu Yanfei used this method to ruin the marriage.

Gu Yunrong gripped the talisman in her hand tightly, her eyes flickering.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yunrong said calmly, “Since your son is ill, the Lu family must be unwilling to accept this marriage, so they resorted to witchcraft.”

In the past, Gu Yunrong didn’t believe in performing spells and drawing talismans.

However, Gu Yanfei’s actions over the past few days have refreshed her worldview again and again. She couldn’t help but guess how Gu Yanfei had done those unbelievable things…

There was a famous saying that, excluding all impossible factors, the rest, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth.

Therefore, Gu Yanfei was indeed a philosopher with an academic method and indeed had that extraordinary ability.

“Witchcraft?” Madam Hua’s eyes widened, and her pupils moved. “Miss, do you mean that my son only fell sick because the Lu family hired someone to perform witchcraft on him?”

Tears streamed down her flushed face, and she was panting slightly. Veins appeared on her neck, and she was shocked and angry.

So this was what happened.

Zhao’er was clearly healthy, but his life is suddenly in danger. It turns out that an evil person has done something to him!

Master Hua’s expression also changed. His face was filled with surprise and doubt, and his brows were furrowed deeply.

“Most likely.” Gu Yunrong nodded slightly and looked out of the window leisurely. She looked in the direction of the Gu Mansion and suddenly said, “As far as I know, Third Miss Lu is on good terms with the Second Lady of the Gu family.”

She stopped and didn’t say anything else. She didn’t say anything bad about Gu Yanfei.

But to the Hua family, this sentence was enough.

“Second Lady Gu?!”

Old Master Hua and Madam Hua had heard of Second Lady Gu, the Second Lady who had even killed Shangqing Spiritual Master.

The couple looked at each other. There was shock, fear, doubt, uneasiness, and even heartache for their second son, Hua Zhao.

Was Second Lady Gu the one who harmed their second son?

“Why?!” Madam Hua’s eyes widened again. She whimpered and said angrily, “Is it because Third Miss Lu is unwilling that Second Lady Gu wants to harm my son?!”

“This is too much!”

The more Madam Hua spoke, the more agitated she became, and her breathing became faster and faster.

She held Hua Zhao’s hand hard. Her usually warm and strong hand was now cold and sweaty, and her fingers were weak.

The hurt was in her son’s body, but the pain was in her heart.

Madam Hua wished she could suffer on behalf of her second son.

Although Master Hua also felt sorry for his son, he was more rational than Madam. He sized Gu Yunrong up with a strange gaze and felt that this girl knew too much.

Gu Yunrong calmly met the other party’s sharp gaze. What she said was the truth. She had a clear conscience.

Besides, as long as they investigated some things, they would definitely be able to find clues. It was just that they didn’t expect their in-laws to harm their son!

Madam Hua was extremely sad. She bit her lower lip so hard that it was almost bleeding. She muttered, “Then… what should I do with my son?”

What should she do with her Zhao’er?

Her eldest son, Xi’er, could no longer be saved. He had been sentenced to death by several doctors. If even her remaining second son was in trouble, what would she and her husband do?

What should she do about the Hua family’s incense?

Madam Hua’s heart sank. Her limbs were cold, bone-chilling, and it hurt.

“…” Gu Yunrong was silent. Her cherry lips pursed slightly.

After sighing, she instructed Doctor Wan, “Doctor Wan, try your best to save him first and lower his fever… If this continues, I’m afraid…”

“Sigh.” Doctor Wan also sighed and frowned deeply.

In the eyes of Madam Hua, her helpless look was exactly the same as that of Doctor Wang, who had sentenced her eldest son to death.

This sigh was more like someone stabbing Madam Hua again and again with a knife.

“…” Madam Hua’s heart constricted violently. It was so painful that her soul seemed to have been pierced by a knife.

Madam Hua’s vision darkened. She held her heart and collapsed, letting the darkness completely swallow her…

“Madam!”

“Madam, how are you?”

Waves of sharp shouts surrounded Madam Hua. The servants of the Hua family surrounded her worriedly, and the surroundings were in chaos.

“Let me take a look.” Doctor Wan hurriedly went forward to take Madam Hua’s pulse.

Gu Yunrong looked pitiful and sighed secretly.

Just because Lu Qin doesn’t like this marriage, they didn’t hesitate to sacrifice a life?!

This was too unscrupulous.

The front hall of the Myriad Herb Hall was in a mess, like a cat on a hot tin roof.

This scene also fell into the eyes of Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang, who were in a tea shop not far away.

Wei Jiaoniang has been restless since last night.

Although she trusted Gu Yanfei, she couldn’t help but panic and be afraid when she thought of the seriously ill Lu Qin.

At dawn, Wei Jiaoniang ran to the Gu residence to look for Gu Yanfei. Gu Yanfei brought her here. The two of them had already drunk two pots of tea here. When the Hua family’s convoy came over just now, Wei Jiaoniang almost rushed over to teach him a lesson. However, in the next moment, she saw Hua Zhao fall from his horse.

Gu Yanfei took a sip of the fragrant barley tea and touched her chin. She smiled and said, “Ah Qin should be able to wake up.”

“That’s great!” Wei Jiaoniang was overjoyed. She finished the barley tea in her cup in one sitting and placed the empty cup on the table.

Wei Jiaoniang lowered her voice and whispered into Gu Yanfei’s ear.. She pointed in the direction of the Myriad Herb Hall and asked, “What about him?”
