The conversation between the brothers and sisters sounded like a thorn in Gu Jian's ears. Gu Jian's face was a bit ugly, and his eyes wandered.

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Jian condescendingly, taking into account the subtle changes in his expression.

Even if he didn't understand it at first, he understands it now.

A sharp light like the edge of a sword flashed in Gu Yuan's deep black phoenix eyes, cold and deep.

"Here we come, here comes the stretcher!" Somebody yelled, and not far away, two guards of the Hou Mansion hurriedly came carrying an empty stretcher.

They didn't bother to salute their masters anymore, and carefully lifted Gu Jian who was on the ground onto the stretcher. Gu Jian let out a low moan, and her temples were almost soaked in cold sweat from the pain, as if she had been fished out of the water. like a fish.

The servants kept talking non-stop:

"Be careful."

"Don't touch Master Hou."

"Master Hou, please be patient for a while, the doctor will be here soon."

"..."

Amidst the noise, Gu Jian was carried away like this, a group of servants gathered around the stretcher, even the broken rhino horn bow was picked up from the ground by the servant.

Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei also followed, walking slowly at the end.

"Has the bowstring been touched?" Gu Yuan asked Gu Yanfei softly, the voice was so low that only the two brothers and sisters could hear it.

Gu Yanfei stroked his sleeve lightly, nodded his head imperceptibly, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Gu Yuan pointed at himself, then at Gu Yanfei, then at Gu Jian. He didn't say anything, and he seemed to ask everything and guess everything.

Gu Yanfei gently pressed an index finger on the cherry lips, and made a "shh" gesture, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

Gu Yuan understood it, and made the same "shh" gesture, a feeling of warmth flowed through his heart.

As if they had a little secret in common, the brother and sister smiled at each other with slightly curved eyes.

The sun set a little lower, and the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month became even colder, blowing their robes, hairbands, and broken bowstrings to fly away.

Gu Yanfei looked at the rhino horn bow in the hands of the boy in Tsing Yi, touched the bowstring of her own horn bow, flicked it lightly, and the bowstring made a soft humming sound like a zither string.

When the servant brought this rhinoceros horn bow, she could see the black air lingering on the bow, but in this small world, the means she could use were limited.

Fortunately, the jade pendant she got last time gave her some spiritual power, so she used her spiritual power to draw an amulet on Gu Yuan's forehead to keep him safe.

At the critical moment, the amulet sensed danger and kept protecting the bowstring.

However, after all, she has limited spiritual power, and the bowstring will eventually break...you just need to grasp the timing.

The result is perfect!

Gu Yanfei smiled slightly, walking casually.

Gu Jian was carried all the way to Mingyi Courtyard, the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion. Mrs. Hou's wife, Mrs. Wang, had already had people prepare soft bags, hot water, new clothes and so on.

Just as Gu Jian and the others arrived, Mrs. Gu also arrived behind.

In the main courtyard, chickens and dogs are jumping.

Seeing Gu Jian's painful expression and that weirdly twisted right arm, Mrs. Gu gasped, her feet went limp, and she staggered a little.

"Mrs. Tai!" Bai Lu and other maidservants beside her hurriedly supported Mrs. Gu, and helped her to sit on the chair beside the soft couch.

"Ah Jian, what do you think...?" Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Jian, her voice trembling.

It hurts my son's body, but my mother's heart hurts.

She couldn't help thinking that a few days ago Gu Jian was startled and hurt her leg, and just after the injury was healed, she broke her arm again. How could the second son be so unlucky? !

"..." Gu Jian's lips turned white. The cold sweat had been blown away by the cold wind long ago, and now more drops of sweat continued to ooze out. Trembling.

Looking at such a son, Mrs. Gu felt very distressed, and her red eyes were filled with tears.

While wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she comforted her, "Ah Jian, if you bear with it, Mother knows that you are in pain."

"It's okay, it's okay. When the doctor comes and connects your broken bones, you'll be fine."

"If you are really in pain, grab Mother's hand..."

Gu Yanfei looked on coldly as he had nothing to do with himself, put another candy in his mouth, and stuffed Gu Yuan with another.

In her last life, she knew that Mrs. Tai treated her second son Gu Jian better than her father Gu Ce whom she had never met.

So good you can take your heart out.

"Old Doctor Li, this way."

The female voice from outside cheered up everyone in the room.

An old nun anxiously led a gray-haired old doctor into the green gauze cabinet.

After some simple greetings, Old Doctor Li sent all the other irrelevant people out of the bisha cabinet, saying that he was going to set bones for Lord Hou, and only Madam Hou, Mrs. Wang stayed inside.

Madam Gu, brothers and sisters Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei were all waiting in the second room on the left outside the bisha cupboard.

"Click."

The chilling bone-setting sound and Gu Jian's shrill scream sounded at the same time.

This was just the beginning, after that, the screams came one after another, as if the roof was about to be toppled, and it seemed like thousands of needles had pierced Mrs. Gu's heart.

Mrs. Gu was so distressed, she stretched her neck worriedly and looked at the Bisha cabinet a few more times, and hurriedly sent Nanny Li to go in to see how Gu Jian was doing, with a loving mother's heart.

She was almost restless, and when she glanced at Gu Yuan who was a few steps away, there was a bit of anger in her worried eyes, and she asked angrily, "Brother Yuan, what is going on? "

"Didn't your second uncle go to the martial arts field to test your martial arts? How could he be injured?!"

What she said was short of asking directly, did Gu Yuan hurt Gu Jian by mistake? !

"..." Gu Yuan seemed to be poured a bucket of cold water, his heart was a little cold and heavy.

Some pictures from the past flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

He is the eldest grandson, and his grandmother loved him very much since he was a child.

After his mother passed away, he had lived in the capital for several years, and it was his grandmother who enlightened him.

In the next few years, he and Gu Yunxie traveled between the capital and Yangzhou, and lived in the capital for three or four months every year, and their grandmother always treated them affectionately.

However, everything has changed since my father passed away eight years ago.

Grandma's treatment of him became less serious all of a sudden, and she was always polite, as if she was separated by a layer, and she seemed to be wary of him.

Five years ago, he wanted to enter the military camp, but his grandmother was furious and told him to take the imperial examination to enter the official career, why not? He must learn from his father!

He also knew that his grandmother blamed his father for causing the Houfu to almost lose his title.

In a blink of an eye, eight years have passed.

Gu Yuan's eyes were dark and turbulent, and then returned to calm, indifferent, cold and deep.

"Mrs. Tai, you can't say that." Gu Yanfei raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly, looking at ease, "I said last time that Lord Hou is in trouble recently."

Mrs. Gu frowned slightly, and Gu Yanfei's words from last month rang in her ears again: "You indiscriminately killed people, it seems that you are going to repay your children and grandchildren."

Thinking of her son being injured twice in a row within less than a month, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but miss a beat of her heart, and said, "But didn't you resolve it last time?"

Meeting Mrs. Gu's frightened eyes, Gu Yanfei smiled and asked back: "Mrs. Tai, think about it carefully, how many murders have you done?"

"As the saying goes, one yard is worth one yard, and this retribution has to be repaid slowly one by one."

Gu Yanfei's small face was always smiling, playful and joking, which made Mrs. Gu speechless.

Mrs. Gu pinched the string of Buddhist beads restlessly, but she couldn't be sure if Gu Yanfei was trying to scare herself by pretending to be a ghost.

This girl is really wild!

"ah!"

There was another heart-piercing scream in the Bisha closet.

Mrs. Gu's face paled a little, she felt that all three souls and seven souls had been hit hard, she almost jumped up in shock, flustered, terrified, and restless, as if there were pairs of invisible eyes staring at her from a dark corner. She wants her to pay for her life.

Seeing Madam Gu's complexion, Bai Lu hurriedly served her tea, but she waved it away impatiently. Bai Lu shook her hand, and the hot tea overflowed the cup and splashed on the back of her hand, her face turned pale.

But Mrs. Gu didn't realize it.

"As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son. There is some truth to these sayings, doesn't Mrs. Tai say?" Gu Yanfei's faint voice resounded in the room again. Look cool.

Mrs. Gu's heart skipped a beat, she looked at Gu Yanfei expressionlessly, with embarrassment turning into anger in her eyes.

What is this girl implying? ! Are you accusing yourself of favoring the second son over the eldest son? !

Facing the sharp, cloudy old eyes of the other party, Gu Yanfei remained unmoved, and said slowly: "Master Hou just cut off his hand, and Mrs. Tai almost passed away from crying. My father died in Yangzhou eight years ago, and his head was captured by the enemy. Hanging high, is Mrs. Tai also like this?

Mrs. Gu's pale face darkened a little, and turned slightly blue.

Gu Yanfei didn't need her to answer at all, so he continued on his own: "I heard that Mrs. Tai didn't even shed a single tear, did she?"

Gu Yuan's lips were pursed into a straight line, his fists were clenched tightly, and his whole body was as cold as frost.

"..." Mrs. Gu seemed to be slapped by Gu Yanfei, her anger was boiling, and she was very cold. This girl really dares to say that a junior dares to accuse the elder of being partial? !

Gu Yanfei chuckled lightly, tilted her head, and sighed slowly: "If someone who doesn't know this, thinks Mrs. Tai has only one son?"

Gu Yuan's body trembled slightly.

Gu Yanfei's words lingered in his ears repeatedly: "If someone who doesn't know this, thinks Mrs. Tai has only one son?"

This is also the question he once asked his grandmother when he dreamed back at midnight, and he never spoke humanely to outsiders.

His body was stretched like a fully drawn bow.

Gu Yanfei noticed Gu Yuan's abnormal state, quietly reached out his hand, pinched his cuff, and shook it lightly.

Gu Yanfei knew that this had always been a knot in the heart of the elder brother.
