Gu Yanfei slowly put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile, “Does Madam believe me now?”
“I believe you!” Madam Hua agreed repeatedly and took two steps closer to Gu Yanfei. Her originally dim eyes regained their light as she begged, “Second Lady Gu, please save my son.”
Five minutes ago, she looked at Gu Yanfei as if she was looking at a snake, scorpion, tiger, or leopard.
But now, when she looked at Gu Yanfei, it was as if she was looking up at the Guanyin Bodhisattva who was rescuing the suffering. She was so pious that she almost kneeled down to her.
“That talisman can extend your son’s lifespan by a day,” Gu Yanfei said calmly. Her voice was clear and cold, like the cold autumn wind, penetrating the heart.
“One day?!” Madam Hua cried out.
Her originally elated heart suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley, and the spark of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished.
She only felt that her limbs were cold, and her fingertips were numb. Her heart hurt even more, and she muttered in a daze, “Only one day?! Can my Zhao’er only live for one more day?”
Are my two sons still going to die?!
Master Hua’s face was ashen. He suppressed the anger in his heart and questioned sternly, “Second Lady Gu, are you playing with us!! Living another day isn’t saving him!”
Gu Yanfei still didn’t look at Master Hua. She only looked at Madam Hua and said, “I can save them.”
“Not only the one lying in the Myriad Herb Hall, but also the one in the residence. I can save both brothers.”
Her dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss, as if they wanted to suck in Madam Hua’s mind.
Her tone was neither fast nor slow, and her voice was ethereal. Her rhythm and tone had a bewitching power that struck the soul, making one’s heart tremble.
Madam Hua looked at Gu Yanfei in a daze. Her eyes were filled with sorrow as she asked weakly, “Second Lady Gu, what do you want?”
A deep sense of grief and powerlessness enveloped her, almost drowning her. She was no longer as aggressive as before.
“What do you want? Just tell me. As long as it’s within our ability, I’m willing to give you gold, silver, wealth, and rare treasures!” Madam Hua took a step forward and knelt down resolutely to Gu Yanfei. She cried until her tears flowed. “I’m begging you!”
Her son was her life. For her son, let alone wealth, she could even give up half of the family business and make her kneel and kowtow to Gu Yanfei!
She only hoped that her son could live!
However, her grief didn’t affect Gu Yanfei at all.
Gu Yanfei, who was sitting on the round chair, looked down at Madam Hua, who was kneeling on the ground. She didn’t even move the corners of her eyes or her eyebrows. She said calmly, “Beg me?”
With that, she looked coldly at Master Hua, who wasn’t far behind. “Are you sure?”
These three words were directed at Master Hua.
“We’ll talk about it when you’ve discussed it.” Gu Yanfei smiled gently. “So do you want to save them?”
What does she mean? Madam Hua, who was kneeling on the ground, was at a loss. She subconsciously turned to look at Old Master Hua and happened to see a moment of panic on his elegant face, as if he had had his undergarments stolen.
Could it be that Master is hiding something from me?!
This thought appeared in Madam Hua’s mind in an instant.
Juan Bi served Gu Yanfei a new cup of tea. Gu Yanfei elegantly picked up the pink and enamel three gentlemen teacup and gently threw the choice to them. “You can discuss it slowly.”
When the teacup was about to reach her lips, Gu Yanfei seemed to have thought of something. She put down the teacup again and said inexplicably, “The sins in the soul can’t be washed away, especially those accumulated over generations.”
This sentence came out of nowhere, leaving Madam Hua at a loss.
“Master, what does she mean?” Madam Hua muttered and turned to look at Master Hua. She was in a panic. What is Gu Yanfei hinting at?!
When it came to “sin”, it was obviously not a good thing!
“…” Master Hua looked at Gu Yanfei with uncertainty. His face was as dark as ink, as if the secret that had been hidden for a long time had been completely dug out.
Master Hua’s eyes changed a few times. Then, he forcefully helped Madam Hua up and said firmly, “Madam, she’s lying. Don’t believe her!”
“But Zhao’er has really recovered.” Tears welled up in Madam Hua’s eyes again, and they flowed uncontrollably. Her heart was so sour that it was almost painful. “If she can save Zhao’er, she can definitely save Xi’er!”
At this moment, there was only one belief in her stubborn eyes: Please, let my two sons survive!
The second half of his wife’s sentence made Master Hua’s breathing stagnate slightly, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his neck.
“Madam, this is just a trick of a martial arts practitioner. You can’t believe it.” Master Hua grabbed Madam Hua’s arm tightly and pulled her towards the carriage. He said in an unquestionable tone, “Let’s leave quickly and think of another way.”
“I’m not leaving!” Madam Hua shouted almost hysterically.
The more Master Hua wanted to pull her away, the more she felt that he was hiding a secret from her.
Madam Hua stared deeply at Master Hua and questioned him, “Master, why?”
“Second Lady Gu can save Xi’er and Zhao’er.. Master, why are you unwilling?”
