“What originally should have happened to Ah Qin will happen to him.” Gu Yanfei’s voice was calm, as if she was cutting ice and jade, and there was an almost cold calmness in it.
The talisman in the pouch was drawn by Gu Yanfei yesterday. She instructed Lu Shi to hand it to the young master of the Hua family personally and make him personally admit that he was Hua Xi.
As the saying goes, “The law follows the word.”
Wei Jiaoniang’s eyes were sparkling. She personally poured tea for Gu Yanfei and silently toasted her.
The two of them smiled tacitly.
People entered the tea shop one after another on the streets. They talked about what had just happened.
“The person who just fell off the horse seems to have been sent to the medical center ahead.”
“That young master seems to be having a high fever. His body was twitching like an epileptic… He said he’s about to die. How pitiful. He’s so young, and 1 heard that he just got engaged today.”
The tea guests sighed, and the more they talked, the more lively it became.
“That’s right, that’s right.” Another well-rounded middle-aged woman came in from behind and spoke excitedly to the tea guests in front. “Doctor Wan said that that young master isn’t sick, but has been under an evil spell.”
“And he said…”
At this point, the middle-aged woman revealed a strange and complicated expression. She wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she didn’t know if she should say it.
Immediately, another young woman tugged at her sleeve curiously and asked, “Sister, what else did Doctor Wan say?”
The middle-aged woman was still a little hesitant. Another old man who had just entered the tea shop said to her, “The people from the Myriad Herb Hall said that Second Lady Gu did it.”
There was silence in the tea shop.
When the surrounding tea guests heard this, they were all dumbfounded and couldn’t believe their ears.
“How is that possible?” The young woman subconsciously raised her voice. “Second Lady Gu is a benevolent little immortal. She saved many children.” “I’m telling the truth!” The old man was furious and said angrily, “I heard it with my own ears just now. They were talking about Second Lady Gu. If you don’t believe me, go to the Myriad Herb Hall and ask.”
These words naturally reached Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang’s ears.
The two of them looked at each other in shock. The teacups in their hands stopped in midair.
“…” Gu Yanfei’s small face revealed a rare look of shock. She raised her willowy eyebrows.
This was interesting.
Nonsense! Wei Jiaoniang was so angry that her face turned green. She almost slammed the table, but Gu Yanfei quickly stopped her.
Wei Jiaoniang couldn’t help but turn to look at Gu Yanfei. Her clear eyes seemed to be able to speak as she said indignantly, “Who’s talking nonsense!” Gu Yanfei shook her head and smiled, revealing a pair of shallow smile eddies by her lips. Her eyes were as calm as water, indicating for Wei Jiaoniang to calm down.
The tea patrons in the tea shop became more and more animated as they spoke.
“That doesn’t make sense.” The young woman still didn’t believe it. “How could the people from the Myriad Herb Hall know that Second Lady Gu cast an evil spell on that young master?”
A few tea guests beside her also felt that it made sense and said one after another, “That’s right. They’re talking nonsense without evidence.”
“We can’t just say that it’s Second Lady Gu’s fault that he’s ill, right?”
“Who doesn’t know that Second Lady Gu is benevolent and has saved countless people?! She’s just like the reincarnation of Guanyin!” The middle-aged woman’s eyes lit up with reverence as she praised Gu Yanfei again and again. “She definitely won’t harm anyone!”
“I wonder what the owner of the Myriad Herb Hall is up to. She insisted that Second Lady Gu used sorcery to harm people!”
“Hmph!” The old man sneered and said, “If you want to talk about saving countless people, the owner of the Myriad Herb Hall has also saved countless people. The Myriad Herb Hall’s divine medicine, penicillin, was personally developed by the owner.”
“My grandson’s arm was broken from the fall previously, and his high fever didn’t subside. He went to several medical centers, and they all failed to take care of him. Later, he was treated by the Myriad Herb Hall.”
“The owner of the Myriad Herb Hall must have some skills to have such ability. She’s definitely not talking nonsense!”
Speaking of the owner of the Myriad Herb Hall, the old man’s wrinkled face was filled with gratitude.
“Owner?” Wei Jiaoniang caught the keyword. As she picked up the teapot, she lowered her voice and asked Gu Yanfei, “Yanfei, do you know who the boss of the Myriad Herb Hall is? Why is she talking nonsense!”
“Gu Yunrong,” Gu Yanfei said firmly.
What?! Wei Jiaoniang was stunned again. She slowly blinked and her hand slipped, almost dropping the teapot..
