As they grew older, their mother no longer talked to them about boring truths. However, they were eating fast and chanting Buddha all day long and ignored others. They were gradually as hard to get close to as the cold moon in the sky.
Even he and his eldest sister, two biological children, could not come close to such a cold and indifferent mother.
Mrs. Yue served him a bowl of soup: "Forget it, drink the soup first and wait while you drink. Is your wound feeling better?"
Gu Wenyuan nodded: "Much better."
As soon as the question was answered, the room became quiet. Mrs. Yue was not a talkative person, she sat there like a Bodhisattva.
Gu Wenyuan was a little embarrassed. After drinking the soup, he sat there. The atmosphere was so silent that he could not sit still.
After a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Yue finally glanced at him: "You are about to become a father, and you are still injured, and you are still so unstable?"
Gu Wenyuan frowned slightly, his mother was still used to lecturing others.
But after hesitating for a moment, he finally told the truth: "Mother, I just received the news that my wife was pushed in the mansion in Heiliao City, and the child in her belly is gone."
Mrs. Yue was stunned and couldn't help but frown: "The child is gone, it's already eight months old... This is very harmful to the body."
Gu Wenyuan didn't take it seriously: "If it's gone, it's gone. That woman is a waste who can't even protect her own child. I can't protect my son. Why doesn't she die? If her body is broken and she can't give birth, I will
Just divorce her and find another woman."
As he said that, he patted the back of Mrs. Yue's hand comfortingly: "Don't be sad, mother. Women are useless if they can't carry on the family line. Your son will always let you have your grandson soon."
Parents always want them to carry on the family line as soon as possible.
Madam Yue suddenly looked at him quietly, her cold and penetrating gaze made Gu Wenyuan a little scared.
"Mom...what's wrong with you?" Gu Wenyuan asked tentatively.
Mrs. Yue lowered her eyes, plucked the rosary beads in her hand, and said expressionlessly: "Forget it, the child is gone, maybe it's a good thing."
Gu Wenyuan was stunned. He always felt that his mother's attitude was strangely indifferent. She was still caring about him and the child just now.
He was a little puzzled. Doesn't mother want to have her grandson soon?
At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. As soon as the maid guarding the door opened the curtain, a tall figure appeared outside the door, laughing and saying -
"Yue Niang really cooked the food herself today. It's a blessing for my husband!" Master Gu walked in wearing armor and holding a knife. He looked like he had just come down from the city.
Mrs. Yue said calmly: "Here you go, sit down."
Mr. Gu looked at Mrs. Yue and said with a smile: "Why is Madam so happy today?"
Although he had many beautiful concubines, the only wife he really cared about was Mrs. Yue. However, Mrs. Yue was too cold and indifferent, so he could rarely stay with her.
Mrs. Yue was silent for a while, her eyes fell on his armor, and she was in a trance for a moment: "Twenty years later, when the war breaks out again, just think of it as... I am remembering the past."
Master Gu just thought she was worried about him, so he took the soup she served and laughed and said: "Don't worry, your husband, I am still a swordsman. How I was able to conquer the battlefield back then can now defeat King Qin's brat!"
Mrs. Yue didn't say anything, she just glanced outside the door: "Where is Bijun?"
Mr. Gu frowned: "That damn girl, she has to be an hour late. She said she found some spies and she wants to arrest them urgently."
Mrs. Yue sighed softly, seeming a little helpless and melancholy: "Then... forget it, it's fate. It's not easy for a girl in this world. It's hard to leave her alone."
Both Gu Da and Gu Er were a little disapproving. Gu Bijun was already one of the most wanton and indulgent women in the world.
However, Mrs. Yue seemed a lot softer today, and they did not try to spoil her mood. It was not easy for the family to have a peaceful meal.
But Ming Lanruo, who was hiding in the secret room, always felt that Mrs. Yue's words were strange. Why did it sound like... her last words.
She glanced at Qiao Yan and saw him shaking his head slightly towards her, indicating that she would watch slowly.
Not long after, the Gu family had almost finished their meal. Gu Er wiped his mouth and was about to leave with Mrs. Yue, but unexpectedly, his body suddenly swayed and he fell down from the wheelchair.
Master Gu was shocked and turned to help his son: "Wen Yuan, what's wrong with you? The wound happened again?"
But as soon as he moved, he suddenly fell down and hit the table.
Many plates fell to the ground with a clang and were smashed to pieces.
The maids and guards serving in the room were shocked.
Ming Lanruo was shocked when he saw it in the secret room. Was it Qiao Yan who took action?
But the next moment, the curtain outside the door opened again, and the chubby figure of Magistrate Tang walked in.
The people around him immediately raised their swords and controlled the other unsuspecting maids and guards in the room, and also tied up Gu Da and Gu Er who were unconscious on the ground.
Mrs. Yue looked at him coldly: "That's not what you said before. Didn't you say you would only take me out to offer incense? Why did you tie everyone up?"
Magistrate Tang narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Yue Niang, this is just for insurance!"
After all, Yueniang stayed in the boudoir for a long time and became innocent.
He said that for the sake of convenience, he took her from the secret passage to the temple in the back mountain to offer incense to Xiao Guanyun, gave her ecstasy, and tried to find a way to call the head of Gu and his two children over today to stun them.
Otherwise, Head Gu and the others would never allow her to go out at such a dangerous time, especially to pay homage to Xiao Guanyun!
Yueniang actually did as she was told, taking the antidote in advance and adding the ecstasy medicine to the soup and rice.
If Yueniang hadn't taken action, Master Gu and Gu Er would not have been fooled so easily!
Magistrate Tang looked disdainfully at Mr. Gu and Gu Wenyuan who were lying on the ground. He reached out and grabbed Yueniang: "Let's go. I've prepared the incense, candles, paper and money."
After he took Yueniang out, he would not let her back again. When he left the mountain stronghold, he knocked Yueniang unconscious and had her sent down the mountain.
If he didn't want Yueniang to hate him, he would have directly given the poison to Yueniang and used her hand to poison Gu Dajia and Gu Er.
Mrs. Yue looked at his fat hand holding her tightly, and let Magistrate Tang drag her out without any expression.
Her personal maid was held by the neck by someone from the Tang Prefecture, and she couldn't help shouting: "Madam..."
Mrs. Yue glanced at them lightly: "After I leave, you can go out through the secret passage and go your separate ways and live well."
After saying that, he followed Magistrate Tang down to the first floor without looking back.
Listening to this, Magistrate Tang felt that this was a bit strange, but he didn't think much about it and said in a good mood: "Yue Niang, don't worry, everything has been arranged outside..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something cold piercing his back.
His whole body froze, and he looked down at the sword that penetrated his chest in disbelief.
It was a slender dagger, made of bronze, with cold light radiating from it, and silently stabbed deep into his left chest from behind.
He looked at the seal inscription near the tip of the pierced sword, and suddenly thought...
Nowadays, few people use bronze swords, but this sharp bronze sword is called the "Fish Gut Sword" and is one of the ten most famous swords in history.
The blade of the sword was slender and flexible. Zhuanzhu, one of the four great assassins of the Warring States Period, hid it in the belly of a fish and used it to assassinate King Liao of Wu.
Magistrate Tang looked at the blood on his chest. He sighed and remembered——
How did this sword get into Yueniang's hands?
This was the birthday gift given to Yueniang by Major General Xiao Guanyun.
The young general smiled and said to Yueniang: "Sister, this is an assassin's sword, most suitable for assassination!
And Yueniang, she is the legitimate second daughter of Marquis Xuanping, but she was also an outstanding...assassin in the Red Blood Legion!
"Pfft!" The fish intestine sword was drawn out.
Magistrate Tang looked at the small blood hole in his chest that was continuously gushing out blood. Every time his heart beat, the blood poured out even more.
"Why do you really want to kill me?" Magistrate Tang looked at Mrs. Yue, with a smile still showing on his chubby face, self-deprecating, puzzled, and confused.
He didn't understand. It would have been nice if Yueniang had seen through his plan and refused to elope with him.
Why do you treat him like this? He has never been sorry to her.
Yueniang held the slender, delicate fish-gut sword in her hand. There was not even a drop of blood on the sword, and the sword shone with cold light.
She raised her eyes and looked at Magistrate Tang quietly: "Guess what?"
