Chapter 8
Gu Qingyuan's eyes flashed with amusement, and he shrugged indifferently: "So what." People always have weaknesses.

Ningdong saw that she was not worried at all and it was difficult to say anything. He just advised the young lady to avoid it in the future.

"Put away the jade pendant."

"Yes." Ningdong put the jade pendant into a small wooden box and placed it on the cabinet. Her young lady had no special hobbies except reading novels. She just liked to collect beautiful and strange things.

The evening breeze carries the coolness of autumn and infects the forest with the twilight.

Pei Qingci came back from the palace. After taking a bath, he fell asleep with a hint of coolness.

Just as he fell into a deep sleep, he felt a huge force sucking him into the dreamland.

In the dream, he stood in a vast expanse of white, with the sky connected to the earth and the earth connected to the sky. He could not see anything clearly. The transparent white mist woven into a huge white curtain, covering it tightly.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew away the suffocating white fog in front of me, and the surrounding scenery gradually became apparent.

The sky was filled with flames that burned half of the palace's sky red. It was filled with a strong smell of smoke, and screams could be heard one after another.

Walking forward, a tall and thin figure stood in front of the hall. He could not see the other person's face, but he clearly knew that it was himself.

The long, hideous scars on his hands snaked into his cuffs and eventually disappeared.

"Please let me go! Please, I didn't kill her on purpose. Others forced me. She is my sister, how could I kill her!" The woman in ragged clothes fell to the ground with her legs broken. on the ground.

who is she?Who is the sister she calls?
"Please let me go! I really know I was wrong!" The severe pain made her almost faint. All ten fingernails were pulled out, and the bright red flesh was exposed, which was disgusting to see.

"Let you go? Have you ever thought about letting her go?" The man seemed to be angered by the woman's words.

"If you want to repent so much, then go to hell and tell her." With the knife in his hand, the woman's throat was slit. She lay on the ground and twitched twice without moving. Blood spattered on his robe.

As soon as he turned around, Pei Qingci came to the very grand funeral procession on the street. He knelt in front of a person's grave and murmured: "I failed to give you a beautiful marriage. In the end, I can only make up for it in this way."

"Would you like to come and see me in my dream?" The deep voice was choked with sobs.

The dream came to an abrupt end, and Pei Qingci woke up suddenly. He couldn't tell what he felt while covering his violently beating heart. His heart felt as if a big stone had been pressed down, making it dull.

This dream had kept him awake at night, but it had been some days since he had dreamed about it, and somehow he dreamed about it again tonight.

……

General's House.

The sun was shining high, and the weather was nice today. When Gu Qingyuan arrived in the front hall, the old lady had been waiting for a long time. Gu Liangyue and Mrs. Jiang were also there, and the laughter and laughter in her room disappeared.

After all, the old lady is an elder, so she still has the etiquette she should have. Gu Qingyuan saluted politely and sat down without waiting for the old lady to speak.

This move made the old lady's face darken, but she still didn't say anything when she thought of her next plan.

"It's okay to call you here today. It's my birthday banquet in two days. I'll leave this matter to Mr. Jiang. How about it?"

Gu Qingyuan dozed off with her head half propped up. She finally understood why Ms. Xie left so suddenly when she returned to her parents' home. It turned out that she didn't want to hold a birthday party for Lao Shizi.

"Since I don't have any objections, it's settled." He said he was asking for opinions, but he was just here to give an announcement. The decision to be responsible for the birthday banquet had probably already been discussed long ago.

General Gu stayed at home for only a few days before being ordered to return to the frontier. Since the mistress of the house was not here, she could only leave it to the Jiang family. "It's nothing. My granddaughter will leave first."

As soon as Gu Qingyuan left, Jiang was also sent away by the old lady, leaving only Gu Liangyue and the old lady looking at each other.

She very wisely leaned against the old lady's feet and pinched her legs: "Is Grandma still strong enough?"

The old lady stroked her hair: "Fortunately our Yue'er is a sensible person, otherwise my old grandmother would be so angry at that girl."

Gu Liangyue chuckled and said nothing.

"Well, your eldest sister is not young anymore. She is almost a year old, and it's time to get married."

"My fair lady is a gentleman. My sister is both talented and beautiful. I think it won't be long before the threshold of our general's palace is crossed." She lowered her eyebrows and could not see her expression, but she could feel the obvious movements on her hands. Aggravated.

The old lady sneered and said: "Both talented and beautiful? It's just empty beauty. It's far inferior to Yue'er. Fortunately, she was born in the general's mansion. If I, the grandmother, don't look after her, what will happen? good."

"Grandma has a kind heart, but has she got a suitable son?"

The old lady raised her hand to pull her up and took out the portrait from one side: "This is the grandson of my mother's younger brother. He is a talented person, a little older, and has a good temperament. He can get along well with the older girl. .”

Gu Liangyue only glanced at it and then looked away. This old woman was really good at calculating and keeping her wealth to others.

"It would be nice to be older. I know how to take care of others, so I would be a good match for my sister." The two of them looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

She wanted to trample Gu Qingyuan under her feet, while the old lady wanted to hold Gu Qingyuan under her feet, so that they could help each other and get the best of both worlds.

Ningdong and Yuetao looked at each other and winked: "Miss, what's going on? Why haven't you said a word since you came back from the fight?"

"I don't know."

Gu Qingyuan narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, her gaze fell on her left hand, and she could no longer suppress her murderous intent.

During the old lady's birthday party in her previous life, the old lady failed to get married. She was unprepared and was drugged by Gu Liangyue. She almost lost her virginity. In order to maintain her sanity, she did not hesitate to break the tendons of her left hand. Since then, her temper has become more and more violent. , who can accept becoming a useless person in a day.

If she guessed correctly that Gu Liangyue would be the same as in the previous life, she would have to settle the score carefully, but based on her understanding of Gu Liangyue, she would definitely have some backup plans.

Gu Qingyuan suddenly opened her eyes: "Ningdong, keep an eye on Gu Liangyue these past two days, including the people in her yard."

Ningdong was frightened by her fierce and fierce eyes, and almost forgot to reply: "Yes."

……

Time flies, and everyone in the General's Mansion is very busy. Jiang is very sad about the old lady's birthday banquet, and even Gu Liangyue is too busy to touch the floor. The most leisurely person in this huge General's Mansion is probably Gu Qingyuan.

Ningdong clutched the handkerchief tightly, walked hurriedly, her brows were filled with anger, she lifted the bead curtain, and the girl leaning on the couch reading a storybook calmed her frightened heart a little.

"Miss! The second young lady is really a snake-hearted person!"

Gu Qingyuan calmly put down the notebook in his hand, not feeling nervous at all.

Ningdong drank the tea that was handed to her, and the anger in her voice could not be dissipated: "The second lady ordered someone to go to the small drug store in the east of the city to buy some medicinal powder two days ago. The maid who had previously arranged for the second lady's room sent word that this medicinal powder It’s called Xue Ulan. In the first three or four days of poisoning, a person’s face will only be covered with red rashes. Over time, it will gradually corrode the skin until the face is ulcerated. It can also be used to suppress internal energy. If it is forcibly activated, it will accelerate the development of the poison and cause ulcers all over the body. And die."
