She doesn't want to pretend anymore

"I was drinking with Old Man Gu at the time, and after I got drunk, I casually mentioned it."

"I told this to Old Man Gu as a joke, and he certainly didn't take it seriously."

"What blood power? The eldest and second oldest brothers and I have never felt it. Even my grandfather and my father's generation have never heard of it. Isn't this a joke?"

If it was just a joke and Old Man Gu took it seriously, then he would have nothing to say.

"What was Mr. Gu's reaction when you mentioned it?"

Manshu still felt that the speaker was unintentional but the listener took it to heart.

"How could Lao Gu react? He just treated it as a joke. But..."

As if he had thought of something, Mr. Yan's eyes flashed.

"Don't hide it from me. I have to go upstairs to take a shower later."

Manshu really couldn't stand the bad smell on his body.

"Later, Old Gu often brought his grandson to the Yan family and even suggested that the two children arrange a marriage."

Perhaps, at that time, the old man of the Gu family was interested in the bloodline inheritance of the Yan family.

Or maybe he is gambling!

He didn't think about anything else, he just wanted the Yan family's children to be with his own children.

Regardless of whether there is blood inheritance or not, the Yan family only has this one granddaughter, so the Gu family will not be at a loss.

"You agreed?"

Manshu blinked. Could it be that the marriage was really arranged by the two old men?

"What's the point of a verbal agreement? Besides, I'm not stupid. What if my child doesn't like Gu Zimo when he grows up?"

That boy looked cute when he was a few years old, but who knows what kind of person he will be when he grows up?

"I declined at the time, saying that arranged marriages are no longer popular nowadays. If the children can get together when they grow up, it would be a good thing. If not, I won't force it."

But the Gu family took it seriously.

The Gu family didn't take it seriously, maybe Mr. Gu was just saying it casually, but Gu Zimo's parents took it seriously.

And he began to plot against the Yan family's property for the sake of his son.

It was a joke, but it fueled the couple's ambitions.

"But the Gu family has always taken it seriously. Have you ever thought that maybe Gu Zimo wanted to enter the study because his grandfather left him a message about the ancient book?"

After Manshu said this, Mr. Yan fell silent.

After a long while, he said, "Whether it is true or not, Old Gu is dead. The relationship between our Yan family and Gu family has been severed since your generation. I know you don't like Gu Zimo. If he does anything in the future, just fight back."

If anything happens, this old man will take care of it for you.

Manshu was relieved. It seemed that what the Gu family was doing now had displeased the old man.

He didn't want to care about his previous relationship with the old man of the Gu family.

"Then Grandpa, you should go to bed early. I'll go upstairs."

Manshu returned to the room, quickly took off his clothes and went to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, I looked at my skin in the bathroom mirror and it was as smooth as a peeled egg.

Her skin was so delicate that it could be blown away. Manshu pinched her face and it left a mark.

She recalled the skills left by her ancestors and circulated them through the cycle again. She could increasingly feel the magic power circulating in her body.

The headaches previously caused by excessive wasting time in the hospital were also relieved.

Manshu changed into pajamas and felt refreshed.

But as she went out and lay on the soft big bed, she soon felt sleepy.

I slept until noon, and then my aunt knocked on the door.

"Miss Manshu, are you up? The old man asked you to go downstairs for lunch."
