84 Abandonment
Gu Yunrong’s face was pale, and her eyes were stubborn as she sat there with her back straight.
“Yanfei.” Madam Gu could not stand it anymore and berated her, “Enough.”
She knew that this matter would not end well.
Regardless of whether Gu Yanfei was really good at divination, once the matter of her “child” was exposed, there would be no hope of Gu Yunrong becoming Princess Consort Kang.
Her heart swayed violently again. After a while, Madam Gu said firmly, “Okay.”
The word seemed to be squeezed between her teeth.
Gu Yunrong moved her lips but did not say anything in the end.
She did not look at Madam Gu or Gu Yanfei, as if she had finally made up her mind or given up on something…
“Ah Hui,” Madam Gu called out again. Granny Li, who was guarding outside the door, entered to listen.
“Send her to the authorities.” Madam Gu slowly twisted the prayer beads and instructed with a solemn expression.
Granny Li agreed respectfully.
However, just as she turned around, Madam Gu stopped her. “Wait.”
Granny Li looked at Madam Gu in confusion. Madam Gu looked up and said calmly, “Break the tendons in her hands and mute her with poison.”
She twisted the prayer beads in her hand, her face expressionless.
If she wanted to get rid of future troubles forever, she had to make Mother Su unable to speak and use sign language, so as to keep this secret.
Back then, Madam Gu did not want to kill Mother Su. It was also because Gu Yunrong had pleaded for Mother Su that Madam Gu treated her as a blessing for Gu Yunrong.
However, if Mother Su’s existence would hinder Rong’er…
A ruthless glint appeared in Madam Gu’s eyes.
Gu Yanfei did not hear him and leisurely peeled the pine nuts to eat.
Gu Yunrong, on the other hand, trembled violently. Her cherry lips were slightly open, and her thoughts were written on her face. This was too cruel!
“Yes, Madam,” Granny Li replied respectfully without even raising her eyebrows.
In this huge Marquis Mansion, it was not rare for servants to be flogged and sold. Moreover, Mother Su had indeed made a huge mistake, so she was considered lucky to have lived a few extra years.
After Granny Li bowed, she turned around and left.
With one less person, the Hall for Cultivating Virtues seemed empty and fell into dead silence again.
Outside, there was a rustling wind and a strong murderous aura.
There seemed to be faint wailing mixed in with the howling wind that could not be heard upon focus.
Gu Yunrong lowered her face. The voice lingered in her ears, as if it had torn pieces from her soul…
Gu Yunrong felt pain that was soul-deep and she could no longer be distracted.
She did not look at Gu Yanfei, but Gu Yanfei was looking at Gu Yunrong.
She saw that the vibrant golden luck around Gu Yunrong had a faint gray tinge, like a peony in full bloom, except the edge of one of the petals suddenly had a hint of burning and withering.
Oh, interesting. Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows, her eyes shining.
Madam Gu had had a smooth life for most of her life. Now, she had to lower her head to a junior. It was simply more uncomfortable than taking her life.
“Slam!”
Gu Yanfei clapped her hands gently and nodded bluntly. “I’m satisfied.”
“I hope Madam will always satisfy me in the future.” She tilted her head and smiled brightly, her eyes curved like crescent moons.
Madam Gu suppressed the urge to slam the table and took a deep breath, then asked patiently, “There was bloodshed today. How should we resolve it?”
Her eyes were burning as she stared at Gu Yanfei.
At this point, Rong’er’s marriage could not go wrong again!
Gu Yanfei casually took out a talisman from her sleeve and placed it close to the coffee table. “Burn the talisman and let her drink the talisman water.”
Ridiculous! Gu Yunrong’s gaze shot at Gu Yanfei like a sword. She was so ashamed and resentful that another tearing pain came from the depths of her soul.
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.” Gu Yanfei had a lazy smile on her lips. She stood up, stroked her sleeve, and walked out of the main hall.
After she turned around, the smile on her lips turned into a faint mocking smile.
This talisman had no meaning and was just a piece of crappy paper.
Actually, even if she did nothing, Gu Yunrong and Chu You’s marriage would definitely not go wrong.
Gu Yunrong was the favored child of the heavens in this small world, and Chu You was a blessing from the heavens for her. Their marriage was predestined by the heavens.
