The rest of the Gu family were a little frightened, several girls cuddled up to each other, looking around cautiously.

There were also two four or five-year-old children who couldn't help screaming and burst into tears.

The child was still young, so the mother naturally felt distressed, and hurriedly hugged and coaxed and caressed the child.

Most of them want to leave here. After all, this is a matter of the third room, and has nothing to do with their fourth room and fifth room. But after all, they are all concerned that Mrs. Tai is still there, and after some hesitation, they still dare not leave.

Fourth Master Gu and Fifth Master Gu exchanged glances with each other. They dared not say Mrs. Tai, so they pointed their swords at Gu Jian.

"Second brother, isn't father really annoyed?" Fourth Master Gu asked in a low voice.

Gu Jian was panicked at first, and her heart was in a state of panic.

At this moment, being questioned in public by two younger brothers, his face felt hot instantly, and he was filled with shame and anger.

"Shut up!" Gu Jian's face was livid, and he reprimanded angrily in the posture of a brother, "It's just a little trick to make a fuss. It's useless to scare you into anything."

When Gu Jian yelled, the two children who had finally stopped crying burst into tears again, about to blow over the roof.

Fourth Master Gu and Fifth Master Gu's faces were also not very good-looking, and they knew that Gu Jian was expressing his anger.

Gu Wuye said awkwardly: "Second brother, you are so loud, be careful to scare the child."

The surroundings became even more chaotic, and there were still a few girls muttering words, imitating Gu Yanfei's previous appearance and reporting their families to the ancestral tablets, as if this would give them a sense of security.

Mrs. Gu seemed completely oblivious to the commotion around her, staring blankly at the tablet of the old Hou Ye.

Her fingers unconsciously exerted force, almost crushing the string of beads in her hand until the knuckles of her fingers turned white.

"It's you, isn't it?" Gu Jian's sharp voice sounded again.

Gu Jian raised her intact left finger and pointed to Gu Yanfei who was a few steps away, and said plausibly, "Yesterday, you and sister Zhen knelt in the ancestral hall all night, you must have taken the opportunity to do something to your grandfather's memorial tablet, right? !"

The more Gu Jian talked, the more she felt this was the case, and her voice became more and more high-pitched. She really wanted to give this wild girl a family law in front of her ancestors.

Gu Yanfei calmly curled a lock of hair on her chest with her fingers, but smiled and said nothing.

In Gu Jian's view, this is tantamount to admitting, and it is a silent provocation.

He was determined to teach Gu Yanfei a good lesson, and walked towards her in three steps at a time.

But after taking two steps, his left foot tripped over his right foot, he staggered, lost his balance, and fell forward.

"Lord Hou!"

"Daddy!"

The Wang family and the boys and girls in the second room shouted in unison, but they didn't have time to help Gu Jian, and just watched Gu Jian fall on the ground helplessly.

Gu Jian's right shoulder fell to the ground, and his injuries continued to increase, and he let out a shrill scream.

Gu Yanfei shook his head sighingly, touched his chin and sighed: "Ah, grandfather is angry."

"Tut tuk, tuk tuk..."

The tablet in front was still vibrating constantly, and the extremely monotonous sound made people feel irritable.

The veins on Gu Jian's forehead were throbbing wildly, and the sharp pain from his right shoulder made his face twisted and hideous.

Wang yelled distressedly: "Quick, quickly help Lord Hou get up."

Everyone didn't move, and there was a thought in their hearts: I am afraid that my father (grandfather) is really angry.

Wang could only walk over, ordering his son to help Gu Jian up from the ground.

Gu Jian was ashamed and annoyed that he fell in public and was laughed at by his two concubines and others, it was as if he had slapped him hard on the face.

The pain in his right shoulder became more and more intense, and the pain made him a little unsteady, but he could barely stand still, with cold sweat dripping from the corner of his forehead.

He is Marquis Dingyuan, the head of the Gu family, so of course he can't show weakness in front of the siblings, let alone bear the name of "offending the late father".

Of course it wasn't him who was wrong, it was his nephews and nieces!

"You guys really let me down!" Gu Jian barely managed to complete the sentence with almost exhaustion of her whole body.

His voice grew louder, as if it would make more sense:

"Sister Zhen, you were not like this in the past, why are you so selfish now? When your grandfather loved her so much when he was alive, you actually tampered with his memorial tablet. How can you rest in peace when your grandfather is the spirit of heaven?!"

"And you, Gu Yanfei, you are just a troublemaker. It's not enough that you almost ruined your third sister's marriage. Are you even messing up your eldest sister's marriage now!?"

"Do you think you can trick everyone with a little tricks?!"

Gu Jianjian let everyone in the family see clearly the true face of this girl.

Mrs. Wang supported him, feeling anxious, and couldn't help but look at the memorial tablet of the old Hou Ye.

She really wanted to persuade him to stop talking, so as not to fall again.

The children were so frightened by the yelling that they cried endlessly, and the sharp cries made the others feel even more flustered. Gu Si Ye and Gu Wu Ye winked at their wives and children, and slowly took one step back, another step.

Mrs. Gu seemed indifferent to all this, she stared at the memorial tablet of the old Hou Ye motionlessly, as if she was missing something, and seemed to be looking at someone who was not here.

Her old and cloudy eyes became more and more gloomy in the shadow of candles, and her body was stiff.

After the initial panic, Mrs. Gu gradually calmed down.

When the old marquis was alive, she wasn't afraid of him; when he was dead, she didn't have to be afraid of him.

In the blink of an eye, fourteen years have passed!

She is the only one left alive...

Mrs. Gu sighed, with a look of regret for thousands of years.

Her gaze swept over Gu Yanfei lightly, without saying anything. To her, it didn't matter whether the movement of the tablet was caused by Gu Yanfei or not.

The important thing is——

"Sister, stop messing around."

Mrs. Gu slowly turned her head to look at Gu Yunzhen who was two steps away, stared closely at her eyes, and said in an unquestionable tone: "You must marry today!"

She slowly twisted the string of beads in her hand, with a kind smile on her face as usual.

But at this moment, this smile made people shudder, as if she was wearing a mask on her face.

"Tuk tuk tuk."

After Mrs. Tai's words fell, the tablet of the old Hou Ye seemed to be stimulated by something, and it trembled even more.

The next moment, the tablet fell forward unbalanced, fell off the tall incense table, and fell towards the ground...

"ah!"

Everyone in the Gu family gasped in unison, and several female relatives exclaimed with pale faces.

The tablet is just made of wood, and if it falls from this height, it will probably break in all likelihood.

"Father has appeared..." Mrs. Gu's feet were weak, and she almost fell down weakly. Fortunately, she was supported by her two daughters in time.

Mrs. Gu naturally saw this scene, her eyes almost popped out.

She jumped up and rushed towards the fallen tablet, stretched her hands forward with all her strength, even raised her chin unconsciously, and caught the tablet with an extremely weird and twisted posture.

She didn't care about her appearance at all, and she no longer had the usual elegance.

Seeing this scene, Wang almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Gu Yunxi originally wanted to stand on the sidelines and see what the hell Gu Yanfei and the others were up to.

Seeing Mrs. Gu almost fell to catch the tablet of grandfather at this moment, Gu Yunxie hurried forward and asked with concern: "Grandma, are you alright?"

"Grandfather's Tablet..."

Gu Yunxie held Mrs. Gu's arm with one hand, trying to support her, and reached out to the tablet in her hand with the other hand, wanting to take it.

However--

Before Gu Yunxie's fingers touched the tablet, he felt a strong push on his shoulder.

Unprepared, Gu Yunxie staggered back, grabbed the incense table with his left hand, and tried to stabilize his figure.

The incense case was hit by her, and the tablets placed on it shook a few times together, making a more messy "duk-duk" sound.

Mrs. Gu was like a frightened rabbit, carefully holding the memorial tablet with both hands, and looked around with a little panic, feeling that the ancestral hall was full of ghosts this time.

Mrs. Gu's heart was beating wildly, her face was pale, and she angrily reprimanded Gu Yunxie: "How decent is it for a girl to be reckless!!"

"Grandmother?" Gu Yunxie just stood firm when Mrs. Gu scolded her head and face, she was a little dazed, and she couldn't believe it.

This was the first time she was scolded by her grandmother like this, and it was also the first time she was pushed away by her grandmother.

Gu Yunxi not only felt hurt, but also keenly felt that Madam Gu's gaffe came from the fear in her heart.

Grandma scared?

Looking at Mrs. Gu's uncertain eyes and trembling fingertips, Gu Yunxie couldn't help but have a question in his heart:

Grandma, what is she afraid of...

Gu Yanfei stood three or four steps away from Mrs. Gu, watching this scene calmly, without even moving the corners of her eyes or brows.

Last night, when Gu Yunzhen was wiping the tablet of the old Hou Ye, Gu Yanfei noticed that this tablet was thicker than the other tablets around it, as if it was hiding something. She also tried to avoid Gu Yunzhen and wanted to open the tablet, but unless she cut the tablet open, she couldn't open it at all.

So, when she was just asking about the tablet, she quietly moved her hands and feet to make the tablet make a movement at the right time.

Facts have proved that there is something hidden in this tablet.

and……

Gu Yanfei's eyes turned away from Mrs. Gu's still somewhat scared face, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Moreover, there is still an ulterior thing hidden in the tablet!

Gu Yanfei's pitch-black pupils were extremely clear, and he shook his head and sighed: "I'll just say, grandfather is not happy."

Mrs. Gu solemnly held the tablet in her hands, as if she had never heard of it, she lightly put the tablet back on the incense table.

But after putting it down, she was worried again, she still held the tablet with both hands, her body trembling almost invisibly.

It was the first time for Gu Jian to see Mrs. Tai like this, and she always felt that she looked a little strange.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, enduring the spoiler on her right shoulder, Gu Jian walked over to Mrs. Gu and looked at the tablet.

After confirming that the tablet was intact, he was relieved, and then his anger began to rekindle.

"Gu Yanfei, this is your grandfather's tablet, if it breaks, can you afford it!" Gu Jian scolded sharply, "Have you had enough trouble?"

Only this time, Gu Jian didn't dare to get close to Gu Yanfei at all, and only dared to point at her nose and scold at her.

Gu Yanfei ignored Gu Jian, and still looked at Mrs. Gu's face, from her forehead, to her eyebrows, to her eyes, nose, chin, lips, and finally her chin.

Her eyes were so clear that they were almost straight, as if she wanted to engrave Mrs. Gu's face in her heart, and also as if she wanted to see through her face to see through her fate.

Gu Yanfei suddenly let out a chuckle, and said, "Madam Tai, have you ever heard of the art of borrowing luck?"

Mrs. Gu's eyes widened slightly, her hands trembling while holding the tablet.

She didn't speak, and Gu Yanfei didn't expect the other party to answer. She had already got the answer she wanted from the other party's subtle expression.

"In Taoist medicine, there are two techniques of borrowing luck, one is to celebrate happiness, and the other is..." Gu Yanfei said unhurriedly, "...a substitute."

When Gu Yanfei mentioned "substitute", Mrs. Gu shuddered suddenly, her hands trembled, and she almost pushed down the tablet.

Gu Yanfei saw the other party's gaffe, and accurately grasped the momentary change in the other party's expression.

The pupils reflected brilliant light in the candlelight, and she sighed inwardly:

It's a stand-in.

Gu Yanfei remained calm, and continued as if nothing had happened: "The Murong family wants to be happy, and they want to borrow the big sister's luck, and even her longevity."

"Mrs. Tai is pushing big sister into the fire pit."

"Even grandpa can't stand it!"

Her words ended with a sigh.

The others gasped, their faces uncertain, but the third wife, Yan Shi, was as if struck by lightning, the color faded from her face in an instant, she was as pale as death.

Didn't it mean that this celebration is just to use the happy event to drive away the evil spirits that are causing trouble, so that the old lady can turn the crisis into safety?

how could be……

If what Gu Yanfei said was true, then once Mrs. Murong recovered from her illness, wouldn't her daughter have a short life after lending her life yuan? !

Yan looked at Gu Yanfei with red eyes, and murmured, "Is it true?"

Gu Yanfei nodded affirmatively and said, "Naturally."

"I once met a family who extended the groom's life with Chongxi, and the groom did turn from danger to safety, and the couple had been happy for several years. But the groom's calamity is a death calamity, and the lifespan needed to resolve the death calamity is doubled. Just two years later, the bride died of dystocia."

"Another year passed, and even the bridegroom died."

"This borrowed longevity will never last long."

Gu Yanfei said quietly, glancing at Mrs. Gu who was still in shock from the corner of her eye.

Yan's whole body trembled violently, she was so frightened that she almost lost her wits.

She only thought that being happy was just an excuse to advance the marriage, and she didn't dare to take the slightest risk with her daughter's lifespan.

The daughter is her lifeblood.

"Sister Zhen." Yan's eyes hurriedly searched for Gu Yunzhen, and tightly embraced the daughter beside her.

The Yan family really couldn't stay any longer, and wished she could take her daughter to Baiyun Temple to see a master right now, so as to dispel the evil spirit.

"As for the so-called 'substitute'..." Gu Yanfei looked at Mrs. Gu, and seemed to just casually say, "It's just that this unlucky person finds someone who looks like him..."

Every time she said a word, Mrs. Gu's complexion became ugly, her eyes became more frightened, and her heart beat faster.
