A white light that couldn’t be seen by the mortal eye flashed between the girl’s eyebrows and disappeared.
Fan Mushuang covered her forehead in confusion. Fan Beiran was instantly in no mood to drink tea. He put down the cup of strong tea he had just picked up and stared at Gu Yanfei with a burning gaze, as if asking, How is it?
Gu Yanfei turned to Fan Beiran and said affirmatively, “It’s a Love Gu.”
She didn’t avoid Miss Fan when she said this.
Gu?!
Fan Beiran and Gu Yuan were shocked when they heard this. The two of them thought of the Gu in the Eldest Princess, An Le.
Fan Beiran hurriedly asked Gu Yanfei, “Sister, I heard that the Eldest Princess was poisoned previously…”
Could it be the same thing?!
Gu Yuan glanced at Fan Beiran coldly. His unhappy eyes seemed to be saying: This is my sister we’re talking about!
Hearing this, Fan Mushuang couldn’t help but frown. Although she didn’t know what a Gu was, she understood one thing: Second Lady Gu was probably not here to help her elope.
Gu Yanfei explained, “Young Master Fan, the Eldest Princess was infected with the Blood Gu. The Blood Gu is ferocious and uses a person’s blood essence as nourishment. It can take a person’s life.”
“And your sister was poisoned by a Love Gu.”
“As the name implies, once you’re poisoned by a Love Gu, you’ll be trapped by love and go crazy over it.”
Fan Beiran’s expression instantly changed. On the one hand, he felt that there was a reason for his sister’s sudden change in temperament. On the other hand, he was shocked. This Love Gu wasn’t inferior to the Blood Gu that could kill people.
Think about it. If a girl caused trouble for her lover and offended all her relatives and friends, what good outcome could she have? This was simply killing her without a trace!
“No!” Fan Mushuang stood up from her chair excitedly and retorted excitedly, “Xue’er didn’t poison me with love. I really admire Xue’er.”
“I want to be with Xue’er forever. I want to be with him for the rest of my life.”
Her little face was flushed with emotion, and her small hands were clenched into fists.
Gu Yanfei glanced at Fan Mushuang again. Without a word, she picked up the teacup and gently brushed the floating leaves on the teapot.
In her previous life, she had never seen Fan Mushuang. She only knew that Fan Beiran had a sister who eloped with someone.
Because of this, the Fan family’s women lost all their faces. The few girls from the Fan family had no choice but to marry far away and lowly because it wasn’t easy to discuss marriage anymore.
This was glory for all, and humiliation for all.
Later on, Gu Yanfei also heard that Miss Fan had met a bad person. After eloping, her lover sold her to a brothel.
The Fan family didn’t give up on their lady easily. They went through painstaking efforts to find her. However, even so, Miss Fan kept saying to her family that her lover had no choice but to sell her to the brothel. She was so infatuated with him that she even secretly ran out of the house to look for her lover.
When she was captured by her family again, she shouted and caused a scene on the streets. Everyone knew about it, and the Fan family couldn’t raise their heads in the capital.
When Gu Yanfei heard of these things in her previous life, she found them unbelievable. She felt that Miss Fan was simply bewitched by a vixen.
At this moment, she realized that it was a Love Gu.
Gu Yanfei took a sip of tea and narrowed her eyes.
How strange.
First, it was the Eldest Princess, then it was Fan Mushuang. But why were there so many Gus in the country?
After the arrogant princess, Gu Yanfei specially collected some books related to witchcraft from the major bookstores in the capital. She bought nearly two bookshelves before she basically confirmed that “Gus” weren’t so common in this small world. Those places where Gus were stored were usually in remote areas in the Lingnan area.
Few people in the central plains, especially in the State of Jin north of the river, knew Gu techniques.
Chu Yi had ordered someone to interrogate Shangqing, but even he himself didn’t know who the person who nurtured the Blood Gu was.
Seeing that Gu Yanfei was silent, Fan Mushuang was even angrier. She stomped her feet and called Fan Beiran by his name. “Fan Beiran, how dare you lie to me! You said you would help me!”
Fan Beiran knew that his sister was poisoned, so he naturally wouldn’t argue with her. He anxiously asked Gu Yanfei, “Is there a way to resolve the poison in her body?”
He thought of something and added anxiously, “Should I kill that scholar?”
A cold light shot out of Fan Beiran’s eyes. He waved his hand and made a hand blade, looking like he was sharpening a knife.
Gu Yuan patted Fan Beiran’s shoulder and continued, “I’ll go with you. Put a sack over him first and throw him out of the city wall at night.”
“How dare you!” Fan Mushuang’s eyes turned red as she cried. “Second Brother, if you dare to hurt him, I’ll die…” Die for love!
“Qing Guang.” Gu Yanfei quickly interrupted Fan Mushuang. She called out calmly, with a calm expression.
“Meow!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a furry ball came over like a gust of wind. With a meow, it quickly jumped up the window sill and squatted on it. It looked at Gu Yanfei and Fan Mushuang in the house, as obedient as it could be.
It tilted its round cat face, and a few messy white beards trembled in the wind. It was biting a green grass in its mouth, looking a little mischievous.
Gu Yanfei turned her body slightly to cover the cat’s face so that Gu Yuan and Fan Beiran couldn’t see its eyes.
“Poor little guy, why are you eating grass!” Fan Mushuang looked at the kitten’s green eyes in a daze. Her voice suddenly softened and became glutinous. She asked with heartache, “Qing Guang, are you hungry? Do you want to eat pastries?”
She hurriedly handed a plate of hibiscus cakes to the cat. The cat moved its pink nose, sniffed, and turned its head away in disdain.
The cat gently jumped onto the coffee table. After patrolling around, it drank the warm water in a certain teacup and licked the water with its pink tongue…
This scene seemed to have an indescribable magic. Fan Mushuang looked at the cat drinking water in a daze and couldn’t bear to blink.
The way it drank the water was so beautiful and elegant.
Gu Yanfei gently touched the cat’s back and asked, “Miss Fan, is your husband more important or is Qing Guang more important?”
