Madam Gu covered her chest with her hands, her mind racing.

“Don’t be afraid…Except for the people in our house, no one knows she is coming.

"This Yun girl doesn't seem to want to show up in the capital, she's hiding herself.

"Even if she died, I'm afraid no one would know... We buried her quietly..."

The master and servant looked at each other, made up their minds, and nodded to each other.

It was already late, but Nanny Shi helped Madam Gu get up.

Two women in their fifties quietly came to the outside of Yun Gu's room.

The room was quiet.

No one knew that a murder had just happened here!

Madam Gu took a deep breath at the door, glanced at Madam Shi, and nodded, "No one saw it, right?"

Nanny Shi shook her head firmly, "Absolutely not."

Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Open the door."

Nanny Shi pushed the door open quietly.

She and Old Madam Gu were about to step over the threshold when they looked up!

The two men were struck by lightning, their whole bodies trembled, even their pupils trembled.

"Where... where are the people?" Nanny Shi was shaking violently.

When she opened her mouth, her teeth chattered.

"Didn't you say... that you... killed her?" Old Madam Gu also widened her eyes and looked at Nanny Shi in surprise.

Madam Shi rubbed her eyes, rubbed them hard, and then looked again...

No! No one!

The room is empty!

There was only the flickering candlelight, the silent altar, and the familiar brass bell standing alone on the altar.

Nanny Shi slapped herself in the face.

Isn't this a dream?

hiss!pain!

Her old face was burning with pain!

But the empty room before her seemed to be mocking her self-deception.

"Am I hysterical? I didn't kill anyone?"

Nanny Shi muttered to herself and looked down to see the blood on her cuffs.

Hiss! Blood!

If she didn't kill anyone, where did the blood come from?

She raised her head suddenly and looked into the room.

There was no bloodstain where Yun Gu fell just now.

The brass candlestick she used to kill people was missing.

"It's over..."

Nanny Shi's legs went limp and she fell to the ground at the door, "She's not dead, she's gone!

"She took the brass candlestick, which told me that she knew I was going to kill her! She would come to take my life!

"She is a master, not an ordinary person. How could I be so foolish! Do you think I can kill her?"

Nanny Shi regretted deeply, slapped her thigh and cried silently.

She didn't even notice that Madam Gu's complexion was getting worse and worse.

Old Madam Gu staggered and almost fell down.

She held on to the door frame tightly to avoid falling headfirst to the ground.

"Help...help me go back." Old Madam Gu's face turned dark and she was staggering.

Nanny Shi quickly wiped away her tears, suppressed her fear, supported the old lady, and went back to her bedroom tremblingly.

They were originally going to hide the "corpse".

But now that the "corpse" is missing, they have nothing to do.

Madam Gu didn't dare to turn off the lights or be alone in the room.

She asked Nanny Shi to lie on the footstool and watch over her.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw all kinds of ghosts and monsters coming to find her.

Madam Gu was so frightened that she quickly opened her eyes.

Nanny Shi was not much better than her. The two old women were frightened out of their wits.

……

In a farm on the outskirts of the city.

Song Mingli covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. This room had not been used for a long time and it smelled of dust.

"When will she wake up?"

Song Mingli asked as he looked at Yun Gu, whose head was bandaged and whose neck was pierced with many silver needles.

Nan Xing raised her head, her eyes full of excitement, "Don't worry, Miss, she will wake up in a moment!

“This acupuncture method combines the Yin-Yang and Five Elements formations, and the effect is better than simply stimulating acupoints!

"It's exactly what the old book the young lady gave me said! I was just worried that no one would ask me to try it! If you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow!"

Song Mingli looked at Nanxing, whose eyes were filled with excitement and not a trace of fear or worry...

She couldn't help but wonder to herself, is it that Nanxing just has a bit of "crazy" blood in her bones?

Or after she followed me, because I carried the blood feud from my previous life, did Nanxing also be led astray by her?

"Um……"

Yun Gu was lying on the ground, her brows furrowed and she groaned in pain.

Nanxing excitedly moved the silver needles on her head and face, the light in her eyes was focused and excited.

"My God! It's really effective! I was hit hard on the back of my head and it was bleeding...

"But he was able to wake up so quickly. Tsk, tsk, if it weren't for the method in the divine book, I couldn't have done it with my medical skills alone!"

Yun Gu's eyelids trembled and she suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked around and finally focused on Song Mingli's face.

"what--"

"Why are you screaming? If my young lady hadn't saved you, you would have been smashed to death by Granny Shi!"

Molan stood beside Song Mingli with her arms folded, and snorted disdainfully.

Yun Gu felt a little dizzy, and she tried hard to recall...

She was performing a ritual when she suddenly felt a strong wind blowing on the back of her head.

Just as she was about to turn around—bang!

The severe pain made her whole body feel like it was about to break apart. She saw from the corner of her eye that Madam Shi raised the candlestick again and smashed it down...

After that...she didn't remember anything after that.

Yun Gu wanted to raise her hand and rub her aching head.

But after trying a few times, she found that her arms were weak and could not be controlled at all.

She widened her eyes in horror and looked at Song Mingli, as well as Molan, Nanxing and others around her with confusion.

The young lady is very young, and the maids around her are also not very old.

Why is it that at this moment, she is given such terrifying pressure and shock?

"Tell me, what exactly did Madam Gu invite you to do?"

Molan asked seriously.

Her frank and clear eyes made Yun Gu feel that these young girls were easy to deceive.

But at this moment, Yun Gu suddenly realized that this bright gaze might not be someone who was easy to deceive - but someone who was calm and fearless!

Yun Gu's eyes turned quickly, and she put on a smile and said, "Young Madam, don't be angry, we have a long history!

"Let me go first, and I will tell you everything that happened seven years ago!"

Molan frowned and looked at Song Mingli in surprise.

Seven years ago?

The year when Song Mingli married into the Gu family?

"Master, you misunderstood. I am not trying to harm you, but to save you."

Song Mingli pointed at the silver needle in Nanxing's hand and said, "If it weren't for my people knowing medical skills, how could you still be alive now?"

Song Mingli smiled again, his tone indifferent.

“But you should also know that the needle in the doctor’s hand is very important. It can save lives, but if the hand shakes a little and the needle is inserted into the wrong place, it can be fatal.

"That's not the worst. What's worse is that if the piercing is off target and the person is half dead, that's the real suffering."

Nanxing giggled, and the bright light in her eyes made her look a bit crazy like a medical lunatic.

"There's another needle technique. This is the first time I've seen it! Let me try it!"

"No, no, no!" Yun Gu was shocked and refused quickly. Without bothering to keep the person in suspense, she spoke immediately.

“Back then, Madam Gu asked me to calculate the fortunes of a number of noble ladies, and you had the best fortune among them.

"Old Madam Gu asked me to perform a ritual to have the prince marry you so that she can borrow your fortune and help boost the Gu family's fortune!

"Borrowing your luck is only one of the reasons. I also need to borrow your life to extend the life of the Marquis!

"If it weren't for this, the Marquis would have died long ago!"

In the dilapidated house, the only sound that could be heard was Yun Gu's rapid breathing.

The others didn't say anything. They seemed to hold their breath and looked at Song Mingli in shock.

Borrowing luck, even borrowing life!

It turns out that the so-called marriage proposal was an exploitation from the very beginning! The Gu family was plotting to kill her!

"Oh... I see. Did you also give Madam Gu the recipe for the poisonous bird's nest?"
