The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story

108 Persuasion

“Could it be Imperial Duke Wei?” Madam Gu thought of Miss Wei Jiu, who had suddenly come to visit today.

Gu Jian looked at her in confusion.

He had just returned to the residence half an hour ago and had just sat down at the Benevolent Harmony Hall to drink tea when Gu Yuan returned. The three of them only exchanged a few pleasantries and did not have time to say much, so Gu Jian still knew nothing about what had happened in the Marquis Mansion today.

Madam Gu looked at Gu Yanfei with a complicated gaze and asked in a low voice, “Yanfei, why is Miss Wei Jiu from the Wei family visiting today?”

Her eyes burned as she gripped the prayer beads tightly in her hand.

Under the different gazes of the other three, Gu Yanfei said calmly, “I saved Imperial Duke Wei, so Miss Wei Jiu specially came to thank me.”

As she spoke, there was a faint smile on her lips, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

The room fell silent.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Gu Jian was the first to reprimand her.

The news that Imperial Duke Wei had vomited blood in Tianyin Pavilion had spread like wildfire in the capital. Everyone, from the noble courtiers to the commoners, knew about it. It was said that the person who had saved him was a Taoist enlightened person with extraordinary medical skills. How could this person be his niece?!

Seeing his Second Uncle reprimand his sister, Gu Yuan pursed his thin lips and looked displeased.

Madam Gu’s gaze was unclear as she asked patiently, “Yanfei, do you even know medicine?”

The word “even” seemed meaningful.

“Yes,” Gu Yanfei replied matter-of-factly. The smile on her face widened, revealing a pair of cute smiling eddies.

She was telling the truth, but it made people feel like it was unbelievable.

Thinking of what had happened a few days ago, the corners of Madam Gu’s eyes twitched. She sized her up with a deep gaze and asked, “Where did you learn it?”

Gu Yanfei casually stroked her sleeve. This time, she said half-truthfully, “Didn’t I tell Madam before that when I was in Huaibei, Spiritual Master Lingxiao took me in as his disciple and taught me all my skills?”

“Do you believe me, Madam?”

She tilted her head slightly and smiled, making Madam Gu unable to see through her.

“…” Madam Gu was silent. She pursed her lips tightly, and the wrinkles at the corner of her mouth deepened.

Last time, for Gu Yunrong’s marriage, Madam Gu had no choice but to lower her head to Gu Yanfei and deal with Mother Su.

Two days later, she finally calmed down and thought about the entire matter again. She felt that something was wrong and became skeptical of Gu Yanfei’s so-called fortune-telling ability.

“If you don’t believe me, forget it,” Gu Yanfei said as she pulled Gu Yuan up.

“Big Brother, let’s go. Imperial Duchess Wei gave me a Akhal-Teke horse. It’s beautiful and runs fast. Big Brother, let’s go walk the horse together, okay?!”

“Okay, I got 10 days off from my transfer this time. Whatever you want to do, Big Brother will accompany you.”

The siblings chatted happily as they walked out of the Benevolent Harmony Hall, leaving Madam Gu hanging there.

“…” Madam Gu wanted to stop the siblings, and her mouth was slightly open. However, she did not say anything in the end and sat there with uncertain eyes.

The siblings’ cheerful laughter quickly faded. After a while, she couldn’t hear anything.

The east room fell silent, and the atmosphere was cold.

Outside, the howling wind slapped and crackled against the panes.

Madam Gu suppressed her anger and complained to her son, “Gu Yanfei is too wild.”

She was so angry that her chest tightened, and she quickly went to serve the teacup. However, Gu Jian was distracted and did not hear what Madam Gu said at all. The person he cared about more was Gu Yuan.

“Mother.” Gu Jian frowned and could not help but say, “What do you think Yuan’er’s promotion means?”

After the words left his mouth, he realized that he was acting a little impatient, so he coughed dryly and raised his hand to gesture.

Granny Li, who was at the side, had always been good at reading people’s expressions. She softly called out all the maidservants in the room and personally guarded them outside.

Only Madam Gu and her son were left in the house.

The charcoal fire made the air in the house a little stuffy.

Gu Jian pondered for a moment before saying, “Mother… The court has finally begun to forget what happened back then. If we transfer Yuan’er back to the capital now and let him appear in front of others so openly, will it remind them of… Big Brother’s defeat in the past?”

After a pause, he sighed and added, “It’s been eight years… It’s not easy for everyone to forget.”

The cold wind in the courtyard blew harder, whistling and blowing, making the window lattice look like it was about to fly away.
