Yuqing's thoughts could not help but return to that night six years ago, a night she will never forget.

The son she gave birth to in September of her pregnancy was taken away by Xu Yan. After that, Xu Yan brought a baby girl to her to raise. He said that he would make their Brother Luo the future heir of the Hou Mansion.

She also knew that it was best for her son.

But, this is her son, her flesh and blood, how can she be willing to let go!

She had hatred and resentment in her heart, resentment that the woman named Wei Wan took away her Xu Yan and her only son.

The baby girl who was born in the swaddle was crying endlessly, and the crying became more and more piercing, which made her very upset.

She ignored the baby girl, covered her head with a quilt, and fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found that the baby girl had stopped crying and her small body was glowing blue.

The baby girl died, freezing to death in that flimsy swaddle.

Thinking of this painful memory, Yuqing's face turned even paler, as pale as death, and her slim body trembled endlessly.

"Frozen to death?" Wei Wan's full and pale lips trembled violently, her eyes were as red as blood, but there were no tears, and she said sharply, "You killed her, didn't you?"

Wei Wan yelled emotionally, her whole body was in a trance, her breath was stuck in her chest, and her lips were frighteningly white.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Gu Yanfei lightly patted the Xinshu point on Wei Wan's back like lightning.

Wei Wan's red eyes gradually regained some clarity, and she turned around in one breath.

"Wow!" Wei Wan wailed loudly, tears welled up in his eyes, like a flood breaking a bank, "My child!"

She seemed to want to release all the emotions of grievance, anger, regret, unwillingness and so on that night, and only her extremely sad crying was left in the room.

Gu Yanfei handed Wei Wan a plain white handkerchief, glanced at her face calmly, and then gave Wei Guogong and his wife a look, signaling them to rest assured as soon as possible.

The lifeless look on Wei Wan's face finally dissipated.

Her death calamity was not completely over until now!

Wei Guogong and his wife received Gu Yanfei's wink and were slightly relieved, but their hearts were still heavy.

The truth that has been buried for six years has been uncovered, but it does not mean that everything is over, it should be said that it has just begun...

Mrs. Wei Guogong sat on the side of the bed, stroking Wei Wan's back, and comforted her softly.

Wei Wan tightly grasped Mrs. Wei's hand, sobbing with her head bowed.

"No, it's not me." Yuqing shook her head and murmured non-stop, "It's because she is too weak to support her."

"Master Hou, trust me!" She clenched Xu Yan's robe tightly with one hand, her delicate body trembled slightly, her breath was short of breath, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

Xu Yan gently embraced Yuqing's slender waist, "Of course I believe in you!"

Gu Yanfei glanced lightly at this pair of affectionate lovers, and took the initiative to say goodbye.

Wei Wan's death is over, and the family affairs of the Duke of Wei's mansion are behind, and it has nothing to do with her.

"Miss Gu, I'm really bothering you today, I'm really grateful..." Wei Guogong bowed his hands to Gu Yanfei in a deep voice, "Now the gate of the city has been closed, why don't you rest in this village tonight, tomorrow morning we I'll send you back."

Gu Yanfei obediently agreed, and Duke Wei ordered a woman to take Gu Yanfei down to rest.

Mrs. Wei Guogong was still softly comforting the weeping Wei Wan, and cast an apologetic look at Gu Yanfei.

"Miss Gu, please stay!" Seeing that Gu Yanfei was about to leave, Xu Yan yelled hastily, with one hand still tightly hugging Xu Luo who was scratching his skin repeatedly and almost insane.

Yuqing also reacted, took a few steps on her knees, wanted to go after Gu Yanfei, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Miss Gu, please save my son..."

Without Wei Guogong's order, a guard stopped Yuqing.

Gu Yanfei walked out of the wing through the two curtains without looking back, Wei Wanruo's sobs came from behind, and then Yuqing's mournful pleading sounded: "Ma'am... Brother Luo was handed by you!" The raised one, he has been your mother for six years, you can't leave him alone."

When Gu Yanfei walked out of the door of the wing room, he couldn't hear anything.

A crescent moon hangs high in the night sky outside, and the stars are shining brightly. The night in the suburbs of Beijing is very quiet and serene. A few lanterns scraped under the eaves illuminate the dark courtyard.

"Second Miss Gu, this way please." The woman in Tsing Yi who was leading the way for Gu Yanfei looked at her with a bit of awe, held a lantern, and led her to the guest room to rest.

The two walked forward along the chasing corridor.

Along the way, the mother-in-law talked to Gu Yanfei respectfully and enthusiastically: "Miss, be careful where you step."

"Miss, do you want something to eat before resting? Although our place is simple, it is better than fresh mountain products."

"..."

"By the way, when the girl rests at night, remember to close the doors and windows tightly. Our Zhuangzi is quiet at night, and if there is any slight noise, the whole Zhuangzi can hear it clearly."

The woman in Tsing Yi walked all the way, and also talked in a rambling manner, leading Gu Yanfei to the guest room on the northwest side.

Although the guest room is simple, it is small and well-equipped with all the necessary internal organs. There are also two women who are dedicated to Gu Yanfei's orders.

As the woman said, the sound insulation in this village is really not very good. Gu Yanfei had just finished washing when he heard the sound of horseshoes outside the house.

She looked out from a window, and saw two guards galloping out of the village on horseback, and the sound of horseshoes gradually faded away...

For the people in Duke Wei's Mansion, this was destined to be a long night, but Gu Yanfei always fell asleep as soon as he touched his pillow, and slept quite deeply.

She fell asleep to the sound of hooves and woke up again to the sound of hooves.

When she opened her eyes, she found that the sky outside was already bright. In the quiet morning, the air was exceptionally fresh, and every slight sound was amplified.

She could clearly hear the sound of horseshoes approaching, the sound of birds playing in the yard, and the deliberately low voices of the two women outside the house.

Gu Yanfei got up to get dressed, the woman outside heard the movement in the house, heard the sound, but stopped outside the door and dared not come in casually.

The mother-in-law said respectfully: "Miss Gu, the Duke and Mrs. Guo invite you to come over."

After Gu Yanfei simply washed up, he went to the wing room yesterday with the woman who came to pass the message.

Today's sky is a bit gloomy, with layers of clouds in the sky.

When Gu Yanfei passed by, Wei Wan and Wei Guogong and his wife were there, and the eye sockets of the three were bloodshot, obviously they didn't sleep well that night.

Wei Wan was lying on her side on the couch just like last night, with a few strands of hair on her temples sticking to her cheeks in disorder, her whole body seemed to have aged several years, and she was extremely haggard.

She looked at a small gray cloth bag on the table in despair, but it was only the size of a porcelain pillow.

Gu Yanfei guessed what was inside the cloth bag with just one glance, and sighed slightly in her heart.

After several people met the ceremony, Mrs. Wei Guogong looked at Wei Wan hesitantly. She wanted Wei Wan to avoid him, but Wei Wan was very strong and stubborn since she was a child, so she insisted on being there.

Mrs. Wei Guogong asked Gu Yanfei to sit down, straightened her expression, and said in a tired voice, "Yanfei, this... was found by the Duke of Wei who went to the place Yuqing said overnight... "

She sighed deeply, "We don't know what to do. Is there anything special about the burial? Also, should we do a ritual ceremony for this child and recite the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" for her?" Exceed?"

As she spoke, her voice became hoarse and tight, with a hint of bitterness in her words.

Gu Yanfei walked slowly to the table, inspected the cloth bag covered in mud again, and then pinched his fingers under the burning eyes of the three members of the Wei family.

Soon, she put away her hands and said calmly: "Rebury this child, set up a tombstone, and do a ritual ceremony, so that she can enter reincarnation as soon as possible."

This child died young and was buried hastily, with no soul to cling to, so she had to be re-buried so that her soul could cling to something.

When Wei Wan heard this, tears welled up in her red and swollen eye sockets, and her gaze was still fixed on the cloth bag on the table.

"Then Xu Luo..." Mrs. Wei Guogong frowned and said again.

She didn't sympathize with Xu Luo, she was only worried that the baby girl would turn into a ghost for revenge and would never be reborn.

"Don't worry about him." Gu Yanfei said bluntly, "The scar on his back is just a disease."

At the end, she added another sentence: "It has nothing to do with ghosts and gods."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

What? ! Wei Guogong and his wife looked at each other in disbelief, even Wei Wan's red and swollen eyes widened in surprise.

"Sick?" Recalling what he saw last night, even Wei Guogong, who walked out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, felt a little cold on the soles of his feet, and couldn't help swallowing.

"It's called 'ghost face sore', and it got its name because it looks like a ghost face." Gu Yanfei explained unhurriedly, "At the beginning of the disease, there were sporadic red spots on the back, and the disease would gradually worsen within two months, most of which were mild. It can heal itself, but in severe cases, a blood-red scar like a ghost face will be formed on the back, and the skin is prone to itching and pain, so that the patient's temper becomes increasingly irritable."

"One of his father or mother must have had this disease."

As early as Gu Yanfei saw the blood-red scar on Xu Luo's back for the first time, he knew it was a disease.
