Chapter 267 Baby Girl (One More)
Yuqing's thoughts could not help but return to that night six years ago, the night she will never forget.
The son she gave birth to in September of her pregnancy was taken away by Xu Yan. Later, Xu Yan brought a baby girl to her to raise. He said that he would make their brother Luo the future heir of the Hou residence.
She also knew that this was the best for her son.
But, this is her son, her flesh and blood, how could she be willing to let go!
She had resentment and resentment in her heart. She resented that the woman named Wei Wan took away her Xu Yan and her only son.
The baby girl who was born was crying constantly, and the crying became more and more sharp, which made her very upset.
She ignored the baby girl, covered her head with a quilt and fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found that the baby girl stopped crying and her tiny body was glowing blue.
The baby girl died and froze to death in that flimsy sack.
Thinking of this painful memory, Yuqing's face turned even paler, as pale as a dead man, and her slim body trembled.
"Frozen to death?" Wei Wan's full and pale lips trembled violently, her eyes were red as blood, but there were no tears, she said sharply, "You killed her, right!"
Wei Wan shouted emotionally, her whole body was in a trance, her breath was stuck in her chest, her lips were frighteningly white.
Gu Yanfei's eyes are sharp and his hands are quick, and he patted the Xinshu acupoint on Wei Wan's back like an electric hand.
Wei Wan's red eyes gradually regained some clarity, and she came back in one breath.
"Wow!" Wei Wan burst into tears, tears welling up in her eyes, like a flood that broke a dyke, "My child!"
She seemed to want to release all the feelings of grievance, anger, regret, and unwillingness that night, and there was only her sorrowful cry in the room.
Gu Yanfei handed a plain white handkerchief to Wei Wan, glanced at her face again calmly, and then gave Wei Guogong and his wife a look, signaling them to be relieved as soon as possible.
The deadness on Wei Wan's face finally dissipated.
Her death has not been completely over until now!
Duke Wei and his wife received Gu Yanfei's wink and breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were still heavy.
The truth that has been buried for six years has been revealed, but it does not mean that everything is over. It should be said that it has just begun...
Mrs. Wei Guogong sat on the edge of the bed, caressed Wei Wan's back, and comforted her softly.
Wei Wan tightly grabbed the hand of Mrs. Wei Guogong, bowing her head and sobbing.
"No, it's not me." Yuqing shook her head and murmured, "She is too weak to support herself."
"Master Hou, you believe me!" She clenched Xu Yan's robe tightly in one hand, her delicate body trembled slightly, her breath was short, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
Xu Yan gently embraced Yuqing's slender waist, "Of course I believe in you!"
Gu Yanfei swept his eyes lightly over the pair of lovers who were deeply in love and righteous, and took the initiative to bid farewell.
Wei Wan's death is over, and the family affairs of Duke Wei's manor will follow, and it has nothing to do with her.
"Second girl Gu, I'm really bothering you today, I'm really grateful..." Duke Wei said in a deep voice to Gu Yanfei, "Now that the city gate is already closed, why don't you rest in this village tonight, we'll be there tomorrow morning. take you back."
Gu Yanfei responded graciously, and Duke Wei ordered a woman to take Gu Yanfei down to rest.
Mrs. Wei Guogong was still comforting Wei Wan, who was sobbing softly, and cast an apologetic look at Gu Yanfei.
"Second Lady Gu, please stay!" Seeing that Gu Yanfei was about to leave, Xu Yan hurriedly shouted, with one hand still tightly hugging Xu Luo, who was scratching her skin repeatedly and frantically.
Yuqing also reacted and took a few steps on his knees, wanting to chase Gu Yanfei, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Second girl Gu, please save the child..."
Without Duke Wei's orders, a guard stopped Yuqing.
Gu Yanfei walked through the two door curtains and walked out of the wing without looking back, Wei Wan's sobbing sound came from behind, and then Yuqing's mournful plea: "Madam... Brother Luo is your own hand. Raised, he called your mother for six years, you can't ignore him."
When Gu Yanfei walked out of the door of the wing room, he couldn't hear anything.
A crescent moon hangs high in the night sky outside, and the stars are shining brightly. The night in the suburbs of Beijing is very quiet and peaceful. A few lanterns scraped under the eaves illuminate the dark courtyard.
"Second Lady Gu, this way please." The old lady in Tsing Yi who led the way for Gu Yanfei looked at her with a bit of awe, carried a lantern and led her to the guest room to rest.
The two of them walked along the chasing corridor.
On the way, the old woman spoke to Gu Yanfei respectfully and enthusiastically: "Young lady, be careful with your feet."
"Do you want to eat something before taking a break, girl? Although our place is simple, it is better than fresh products."
“…”
"By the way, when the girl rests at night, remember to close the doors and windows tightly. Our village is quiet at night, and there is a little noise anywhere, and the whole village can hear it clearly."
The old lady in Tsing Yi walked all the way, and also rambled all the way, leading Gu Yanfei to the guest room on the northwest side.
Although the guest room is simple, it is considered a small sparrow. It has all the internal organs, and has all the necessary organs. There are also two women who are dedicated to waiting for Gu Yanfei's orders.
As the old woman said, the sound insulation of this village is really not very good. Gu Yanfei had just finished washing up when he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the house.
She looked out from a window and saw two guards riding horses galloping away from Zhuangzi, the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away...
For the people of Duke Wei's mansion, this is destined to be a long night, and Gu Yanfei has always slept on the pillow, and slept quite deeply.
She fell asleep to the sound of the hooves, and woke up to the sound of the hoofs.
When opened her eyes, she found that the sky was already bright outside, the air was exceptionally fresh in the quiet morning, and every little sound was amplified.
She could clearly hear a rush of hooves approaching, the sound of birds playing in the yard, and the deliberately lowered voices of the two women outside the house.
Gu Yanfei got up and got dressed. The old woman outside heard the movement in the room and came, but she stopped outside the door and did not dare to come in casually.
Madam said respectfully, "Second Miss Gu, the Duke and Mrs. Guo invite you to come over."
After taking a brief shower, Gu Yanfei went to the wing of yesterday with the old woman who came to spread the word.
Today's sky is a little gloomy, and there are layers of clouds in the sky.
When Gu Yan flew over, Wei Wan and Duke Wei were both there, and the eyes of the three were covered with bloodshots. Obviously, they hadn't slept well that night.
Wei Wan was lying on the side of the couch like last night, with a few strands of temple hair sticking to her cheeks, her whole person seemed to be several years old and haggard.
She stared at a dusty little cloth bag on the table, but the size of a porcelain pillow.
Gu Yanfei just glanced at it and guessed what was inside the cloth bag, and sighed slightly in his heart.
After a few people saw the ceremony, Mrs. Wei Guogong looked at Wei Wan, she wanted to avoid Wei Wan, but Wei Wan was very strong and stubborn since she was a child, so she had to be present.
After Mrs. Wei Guogong asked Gu Yanfei to sit down, she straightened her expression and said, unable to hide her tiredness, "Yan Fei, this... was found by Mrs. Guo who went to the place Yuqing said overnight last night... "
She let out a long sigh, "We don't know what to do, is there any particularity in the burial? Also, should we do a ritual for the child and recite the Earth Store Sutra to her? Excessive?"
As she spoke, her voice became hoarse and tight, with a hint of bitterness in her words.
Gu Yanfei walked slowly to the table, and examined the cloth bag covered with mud again, then pinched his fingers in the eyes of the three Wei family members.
Soon, she put away her hands and said calmly: "Rebury this child, erect a tombstone, and do a ritual, so that she can enter reincarnation as soon as possible."
This child died young and was hastily buried with no support for her soul. She had to be reburied to give her soul a support.
Wei Wan heard the words, and there were tears in her red and swollen eyes again, her eyes still staring at the cloth bag on the table.
"Then Xu Luo..." Mrs. Wei said with a frown.
She didn't sympathize with Xu Luo, she was only worried that the baby girl had turned into a demon for revenge and would never be born again.
"Don't worry about him." Gu Yanfei said bluntly, "The scar on his back is just a disease."
At the end, she added another sentence: "It has nothing to do with ghosts and gods."
The room fell into a moment of silence.
What? ! Duke Wei and his wife looked at each other in disbelief, and even Wei Wan widened her red and swollen eyes in surprise.
"Sick?" Thinking back on what he saw last night, even Duke Wei, who came out of the sea of blood and corpses, felt a little cold on the soles of his feet, and couldn't help swallowing.
"It's called 'ghost face sore', and it's named because it looks like a ghost face." Gu Yanfei explained casually, "At the beginning of the disease, there were sporadic erythema on the back, and the disease gradually worsened within two months, and most of them were mild. It can heal itself, but in severe cases, a blood-red scar like a ghost face will form on the back, and the skin is prone to itching and pain, which makes the patient increasingly irritable."
"There must be one of his father or mother who also had this disease."
As early as when Gu Yanfei first saw the blood-red scar on Xu Luo's back, he knew it was a disease.
The second shift is at 12:00~
