Gu Yanfei grabbed the armrest of the grand teacher's chair suddenly, her fingertips turned slightly white from the force, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes gradually turned cold.

The eldest brother's skin has turned wheat-colored due to long-term sun exposure, and his face is smooth. At least she has no acne scars visible to the naked eye, except for the calluses left by martial arts on the palms and palms, and a few fine scars on the wrists and backs of hands.

She also checked Gu Yuan's pulse. Judging from the pulse, Gu Yuan is in good health without any signs of loss.

the most important is……

In the previous life, Gu Yuan would die of smallpox two years later.

The eldest brother broke his leg and lost his errand, so the long house no longer had any status in the Hou's mansion.

But even so, Mrs. Tai still refused to separate the family, and let the long house be trampled by others. The eldest brother tried his best to protect her, until he was infected with smallpox, and he couldn't worry about her until he died.

Smallpox is terrible, but as long as a person has smallpox once, he will never get it again!

The wind howled and roared, bringing bursts of cold air from the window, almost blowing out the oil lamp, and the light shrank into a small spot.

The room darkened a lot at once, making Gu Yanfei's face dark and unclear.

After a while, Gu Yanfei asked calmly: "Nurse, when you took care of elder brother by his side, did elder brother really have smallpox?"

As she asked, she already had an answer in her heart.

Mrs. Gu put so much effort into driving Nanny Pang away from her eldest brother, and now she even doesn't hesitate to kill people.

There is only one possibility—

To silence.

Nanny Pang was dumbfounded by Gu Yanfei's question, she looked at her blankly, and said slowly: "It's smallpox. How could it not be?!"

"At that time, a lot of doctors came to the mansion, and there was also a pure and pure person from Wuliangguan. They all said it was smallpox."

"The young master is dying of illness..."

The events of fourteen years ago clearly appeared in Nanny Pang's mind. She still remembered that she was worried, terrified, and couldn't sleep well. Get through this calamity.

When no one spoke, the house was exceptionally quiet, and the wind outside the house seemed particularly sharp, and the trees in the courtyard were creaked by the strong wind.

"At that time, did Mammy see elder brother?" Gu Yanfei asked again.

In her last life, she couldn't figure it out, even if there was war in Sishui County at that time, it was far from the point where it was about to fall.

Dad went to the front to defend the city, and as long as mother stayed in the Huling City behind, it would be safer than a pregnant woman running out to "refuge"!

It turned out that she was doing it for her elder brother...

Gu Yanfei felt his heart throbbing, and his fingertips were so pale that they were almost transparent.

Nanny Pang's throat was astringent and bitter, and she shook her head weakly: "No. Because smallpox is contagious, Mrs. Tai sent the old slave and the servants of Cihetang out of the house."

"During that time, only Mrs. Tai personally guarded the young master."

Smallpox is a plague, more terrible than the plague. People who get smallpox are close to death. Once the smallpox infection spreads, it is common to destroy a village.

Back then, when Nanny Pang saw Mrs. Tai taking care of the sick young master so wholeheartedly, she was somewhat moved.

But now, after talking with Gu Yanfei, Nanny Pang thinks back and feels that something has changed, as if something has been overlooked by her.

Another gust of cold wind came in through the window, completely blowing out the light of the oil lamp, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Seeing that the oil lamp was off, Juan Bi groped in the dark and lit the oil lamp again.

The flame lit up little by little, first illuminating Gu Yanfei's eyes.

Under the dim light, her beautiful almond eyes were exceptionally bright, shining like the edge of a sword.

In a daze, Nanny Pang felt that she seemed to see Gu Ce again.

Gu Yanfei's cold and windy voice cut through the silence: "When Mammy was driven away, it was before my father returned to Beijing, right?"

As far as she knew, after mother's death, father guarded Yangzhou for three whole years and never left for a moment. It was not until the sixth year of Xuanren that he returned to Beijing because of the call of the late emperor.

"Yes." Nanny Pang nodded, saying every word with difficulty.

She still remembered that at that time, all the people in the Hou's mansion were overjoyed, saying that Lord Hou was about to return in triumph, and that's what she told the young master.

"I see." Gu Yanfei said inexplicably.

smallpox.

These two words stabbed deeply in her heart like a sharp knife, and the sharp knife stirred repeatedly in her heart.

A stern look of blood flashed across Gu Yanfei's eyes.

There seemed to be tyrannical waves in the heart, constantly churning, one wave beating another wave, and each wave was higher than the other.

She couldn't help but think, if her eldest brother hadn't been "in danger of death" fourteen years ago, then mother wouldn't have rushed back to the capital from Sishui County, and died prematurely on the way.

Everything will never be the way it is now...

If mother's death was not an accident, but a conspiracy by others.

Then how innocent was my short life in the previous life...

Gu Yanfei got up, her heart was surging, and she only said: "Nurse, you should rest for a while, and heal your wounds first, your body is the most important thing."

Nanny Pang looked at Gu Yanfei's slender back, and wanted to call her to stop, but in the end she didn't make a sound, and her mind became even more chaotic.

Gu Yanfei strode out of the East Wing, and stopped only when she came to the porch. She looked up at the snowy night sky in front of her, in the direction of the capital, at someone she couldn't see at the moment...

The dense snowflakes rushed towards the face with the wind, but Gu Yanfei didn't care, as if he didn't feel the chill at all.

Those memories of her previous life resurfaced in front of her eyes again, together with the past pain, regret, suffering, grief...all rushed towards her, almost engulfing her.

Her inner demons breed wildly again, the blood in her eyes is getting thicker, and she barks her teeth and claws in her dark pupils.

There is a voice in my heart screaming heart-piercingly:

Why? !

What is her life for? !

She felt like a raging beast in her body wanted to release it crazily, and the blood in her pupils surged, almost completely occupying her eyes...

Both eyes are red.

Suddenly, a trace of coolness penetrated into the brain from the pores of the scalp, and the coolness washed over the brain.

In an instant, as if someone had poured cold water on her head, her thoughts became clear.

Gu Yanfei raised her hand to caress the white jade plum hairpin that tied her hair, and the touch under her fingers was cool, delicate and smooth.

Her once out-of-control emotions slowly calmed down...

She still stands facing the wind, her clothes fluttering, dancing lightly, as if she is going to go with the wind.

"Girl, be careful of catching a cold."

Juanbi from behind hastily chased after her, put a thick cloak on her, and looked at her worriedly.

Thinking about how Nanny Pang had said a lot about Lord Xianhou and his wife just now, Juan Bi wondered in her heart whether the girl was upset by this.

People cannot be resurrected after death, and Juanbi didn't know how to comfort her daughter, so she could only silently accompany her.

Gu Yanfei stood there, motionless.

The coolness of the hairpin continuously impacted her manic mood, and the blood in her eyes gradually faded...

The master said that her Dao heart was not cultivated enough, so she was burdened by the demons again and again.

The way of heaven has its own arrangements for everyone's fate.

The Heavenly Dao of this small world dotes on Gu Yunxie, this is something she has known in her previous life.

Her previous life was only a short dozen years, and in the final analysis, she was just a stepping stone arranged by the Dao of Heaven for Gu Yunxie.

Her misfortune made Gu Yunxie's happiness.

The corners of Gu Yanfei's lips curled into a mocking arc, and his fingers rubbed the plum blossom hairpin repeatedly, feeling the shape and texture of the hairpin under his hand, and a figure in white clothes like snow appeared in his mind.

She couldn't help thinking of Chu Yi.

After all, she is the stepping stone of the Daughter of Destiny, and Chu Yi is much worse...

"Pfft."

Gu Yanfei laughed happily, his laughter was like the chirping of an oriole.

Fortunately, there is still Chu Yi in this world. Both of them were abandoned by heaven, and she is not alone.

Gu Yanfei's mood completely calmed down, and his eyes returned to normal, with a little bit of starlight in them again.

Seeing that she finally smiled, Juanbi breathed a sigh of relief, pointed forward playfully and said, "Girl, look how well the red plum blossoms here are, not worse than those in the mansion."

The two red plum trees in the courtyard are covered with a layer of white snow. The red plum blossoms are blooming in full bloom in the wind.

"It's really fragrant." Juanbi's small nose moved, and she squinted her eyes intoxicated, "Maidservant, go and break a branch for the girl to put in a bottle, okay?"

Juan Bi was about to walk out of the verandah, but she felt her cuffs tighten, and Gu Yanfei pulled the sleeves tightly.

"etc!"

Hearing what Gu Yanfei said, Juan Bi stopped and turned to look at Gu Yanfei.

Almost at the same time as the words fell, there was a sudden strong wind in the courtyard, and there was a shrill sound.

The strong wind chopped off the two red plum trees in the courtyard with a force of destruction, and the courtyard became a mess in an instant.

The broken branches and leaves were swept up by the wind, and thousands of red petals flew up one after another, caught in the wind and snow messily, like snowflakes in the air stained with blood.

This terrifying gust of wind came and went quickly, and the sound of the wind howling in the courtyard became quieter in an instant.

"Quack quack..."

More than a dozen black crows seemed to be blown here by the strong wind, flapping their wings and circling in the wind and snow, flying and howling.

The thick crow's crows make one's heart tremble.

Juan Bi was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

If the girl hadn't called her to stop just now, would the broken plum tree fall on her?

"Girl, the evil wind just now was too terrifying!" Juan Bi patted his chest with some fear.

When the evil wind rises, there must be a big event. Gu Yanfei thought to himself, habitually counting with his fingers...

Just as the thumb touched the knuckle of the ring finger, there was a dull pain in his chest.

She stopped counting with her fingers, and the corners of her mouth twitched lightly.

This feeling is a bit familiar, which means that the "big event" that happens next will involve her in all likelihood.

"Girl, you saved the servant again." Juan Bi was a big-hearted person, and soon smiled cheerfully.

Gu Yanfei looked at Juanbi's face blankly as if she had never heard of it.

It was obviously the same face, but in an instant Juan Bi's face appeared dead.
