Chapter 56 - 56 Mother Su
56 Mother Su
“Ah Jian, I…” Madam Gu whispered in a hoarse voice, her expression and voice weak.
“Mother, don’t speak first. Rest well.” Gu Jian comforted Madam Gu gently.
When the others in the room saw that Madam Gu had woken up, they looked at each other in relief. As long as Madam Gu could wake up, she should be fine.
The Great Jin Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. If anything happened to Madam Gu, be it her legitimate son or daughter, they would have to observe filial piety for three years. It would delay their future and even affect their marriage.
The air around them relaxed, so they looked at Shangqing Spiritual Master with even more reverence.
Shangqing Spiritual Master continued, “Marquis, Madam Wang, fortunately Madam Gu has already passed the crisis. She still has to rest well. When I go back, I’ll refine a furnace of pills for her. After taking the medicine, Madam Gu will be fine.”
“Now that this matter is over, I’ll take my leave first.”
He flicked his whisk and bowed again, his lean face expressionless.
Gu Jian bowed solemnly to Shangqing Spiritual Master. “Fourth Brother, send the Taoist priest off personally.”
Fourth Master Gu nodded repeatedly.
“I’ll take my leave.” Shangqing Spiritual Master turned around and left. His wide sleeves flew up, making him look like a God from heaven.
The curtain was lifted and Shangqing Spiritual Master left with the lingering sandalwood scent still in the air.
Everyone looked at the trembling curtain with surprise on their faces and someone sighed. “Shangqing Spiritual Master is indeed a God.”
“When I recover, I’ll definitely go to Wuliang Temple to thank you personally,” Madam Gu said gratefully.
She looked a little better than when she had just woken up, and her eyes were clearer.
Gu Yanfei could tell that Madam Gu must have suffered from liver loss due to her lack of ambition and was depressed. Perhaps it was because she had taken the wrong prescription that her illness became worse.
Now, her symptoms have eased a lot.
“Mother, Rong’er and I will accompany you,” Madam Wang hurriedly said.
As she spoke, Madam Wang glanced at Gu Yanfei, who had been sitting in the corner without moving, and her eyes turned cold.
Madam Wang coughed lightly and said arrogantly, “Yanfei, your grandmother is so sick. Your sisters have been taking turns to treat her for the past few days, now it’s time for you to be filial.”
Gu Yanfei stood up from her chair and gently stroked her sleeve. She smiled faintly and said, “Madam Wang, if Madam Gu looks at me, she might get even sicker. For the sake of Madam Gu, I think we should forget it.”
As she spoke, she smiled. In her beauty, there was a hint of elegance and immortality. She was like a river of spring water written by a famous artist, clear and refined.
Since she had already seen the master, it was time for her to go back and take an afternoon nap.
“…” Madam Wang was so angry that her face turned green and she barely maintained her composure.
Gu Yunrong frowned again and pursed her cherry lips as she looked at Gu Yanfei’s back without any attachment. Already blinded by hatred and resentment, Gu Yanfei really did not regret it at all.
“Mother,” Gu Yunrong said to Madam Wang as she pinched her handkerchief, “I’d better stay and take care of Grandma.”
Her appropriate tone that was as gentle as a spring breeze gave Madam Wang a way out. Madam Wang’s expression softened as she said, “Our Rong’er is still the most filial.”
Gu Yunrong smiled gently as Gu Yanfei’s figure disappeared behind the curtain.
Gu Yanfei walked leisurely through two curtains, crossed a threshold, and stepped out of the main room of the Benevolent Harmony Hall.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a plump figure hiding furtively behind a nearby parasol tree. The woman stuck half of her beautiful face out from behind the trunk and looked in her direction.
An oval face, watery eyebrows, a hump nose, and the corners of her lips… These familiar facial features formed a face that was engraved in Gu Yanfei’s heart.
It was her! Gu Yanfei narrowed her eyes and immediately recognized her.
It was Mother Su!
In her previous life, before she was brought back to the capital, she had only seen Mother Su twice. At that time, she thought that Mother Su was her mother and was filled with admiration for her.
It was not until her background was revealed that she knew why that family had disliked her since she was young and either hit or scolded her. Only then did she know why Mother Su had abandoned her in Huaibei for 14 years without asking about her.
It was Mother Su’s greed that caused the tragedy of Gu Yunhua’s life in her previous life, causing her short life of more than ten years to be dark and tragic. In the end, she died with regret and grievances.
Gu Yunhua’s life should not have been like this. She should have grown up under the care of her father and brother…
In an instant, an invisible monster seemed to crawl out of Gu Yanfei’s heart, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. An intense shadow flashed across her eyes.
She knew her mental demons were acting up again, just as they had so many times in the Bright Spirit Realm.
Every time she made a breakthrough in her cultivation, everything in her previous life would turn into mental demons that would bite her crazily, affecting her cultivation again and again.
A strong smell of blood rose in Gu Yanfei’s throat, and her fingers hidden in her sleeve trembled uncontrollably.
The moment she met Gu Yanfei’s eyes, Mother Su’s eyes darted around in panic, but she calmed herself down and raised her chin.
Things were different now as Gu Ce and Madam Xie were no longer around. Gu Yanfei was just an orphan without parents, who had just returned to the Marquis Mansion. She had yet to gain a foothold and could not do anything to her!!
Gu Yanfei’s dark eyes were like a deep pool with unfathomable depths.
It had been the same in her previous life.
After the truth was revealed, Mother Su also stayed in the Marquis Mansion. At first, she would avoid her. Later, Empress Dowager Yuan issued a decree for Gu Yunrong and Kang Wang’s marriage. After that, Mother Su straightened her back and acted like a high and mighty benefactor to her.
Filled with hatred, she had begged Madam Gu to deal with Mother Su.
In the end, Madam Gu reprimanded her instead. “Sister Hua, do you want Mother Su to die?”
“Mother Su was indeed in the wrong, but back then, Yangzhou was in chaos. She was the one who fought her way out of the sea of blood and brought you out of Yangzhou…”
“You’re too hostile and don’t know how to be magnanimous.”
Madam Gu’s words were like knives stabbing into her heart. In her previous life, she did not dare to resist Madam Gu.
As she thought about it, the madness in Gu Yanfei’s eyes grew and surged… It almost occupied her entire eyes, but she quickly calmed down. Her eyes were like the dark and vast sea at night. It seemed calm, but the undercurrents were surging.
She moved forward unhurriedly.
As she passed Mother Su, a faint glint of hatred appeared in the corner of her eye, but she did not stop.
It was clearly winter, but cold sweat still broke out on Mother Su’s forehead. She quickly wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, feeling a faint sense of unease.
“Ah Jian, I…” Madam Gu whispered in a hoarse voice, her expression and voice weak.
“Mother, don’t speak first. Rest well.” Gu Jian comforted Madam Gu gently.
