165 Retribution
“Moreover, Gu Yunrong has been close to Mother Su since she was a baby. As long as she leaves her, she will cry non-stop. Therefore, Madam has always kept Mother Su to continue serving Gu Yunrong.”
“Who would have thought!!”
Getting more agitated, Granny Pang grabbed Gu Yanfei’s small hand and said hatefully, “When I see Mother Su, I’ll definitely tear off her face… No, it won’t be an exaggeration to cut her into pieces.”
She was trembling with anger, her face was flushed, and the back of her head hurt even more, but she heard a light voice enter her ears. “Mother Su has been sent to the authorities.”
Ah?! Granny Pang was stunned. Tears stopped in her eyes, and she did not react for a moment.
Gu Yanfei patted the back of Granny Pang’s old and thick hand comfortingly. “As far as I know, she has already been sent to the border.”
A cold glint flashed across Gu Yanfei’s eyes.
She did not want Mother Su to die on the path of exile, so Gu Yuan entrusted his scoundrel friends to send her to the place of exile alive. Only by living could the wrong person know what it meant to live a life worse than death!
“Serves her right!” Granny Pang reprimanded indignantly. “Mother Su deserves this retribution long ago!”
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her face was as pale as paper from blood loss. Tears finally fell from her eyes.
“Granny’s injuries haven’t healed yet. Don’t be angry,” Gu Yanfei advised as she quietly took Granny Pang’s pulse.
Her pulse was fast and hollow, as if she was pressing on a green onion tube. Her liver was stagnant, and her blood and qi circulated in reverse.
It was not a big problem. She had lost too much blood and was too agitated.
Gu Yanfei quickly drew a Calming Talisman on the back of Granny Pang’s hand. Her fingertips moved quickly, and before the other party realized what was going on, she had already retracted her hand.
Granny Pang felt a cooling sensation flowing rapidly through her body from the back of her right hand. The heat in her body seemed to have been extinguished in an instant.
Gu Yanfei instructed Juan Bi to pour a cup of warm tea for Granny Pang and handed it to her. At the same time, she asked, “Granny, do you still remember why you fell on the road?”
Granny Pang slowly took two sips of warm tea. After calming down, memories surged.
She sorted out her thoughts and started from the beginning. Her voice was still a little weak. “At the beginning of the month, I received a letter from the Eldest Young Master in my hometown in Qingzhou. In the letter, the Eldest Young Master said that you were swapped by Mother Su 14 years ago. He also said that it was your first time in the capital, and he was afraid that you wouldn’t be used to it, so he wanted me to come over and help.”
When Granny Pang received the letter, she was almost dumbfounded and furious.
At the thought that her lady had suffered since she was young and was now alone and helpless in the Marquis Mansion, she was afraid that she would be bullied by Gu Yunrong. Burning with anxiety, Granny Pang had rushed to the road.
She finally saw her lady!
Granny Pang stared fixedly at Gu Yanfei, who was less than two feet away from her, and her heart ached.
Their girl was the biological daughter of Madam and the late Marquis. She was precious and should have grown up in a noble place, but she had been humiliated by others for more than ten years. The heavens were really unfair!
“Creak!”
A window beside them had been blown open by the wind. Outside, the wind and snow were blowing harder. A few scattered snowflakes drifted in through the window.
Granny Pang came back to her senses and wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief. Her voice was hoarse as she continued.
“I just arrived in the capital today. I went to the Marquis Mansion early in the morning, but I was sent away by Tong Erlang.”
“She told me that the Second Lady personally said that she didn’t need me.”
When Granny Pang heard this, she was very sad. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.
Even so, Granny Pang did not leave the capital.
Even if her lady did not need her, she still wanted to stay by her side.
“I thought that I had to see you no matter what and pay my respects to you, so I planned to rent a residence in the capital first. As long as I wait at the Marquis Mansion every day, I might have a chance to wait to meet you when you head out.”
“In the afternoon, when I went to look for a residence, an unfamiliar woman approached me and said that there was an empty residence that could be rented to me. I saw that she looked kind, so I went to take a look. I didn’t expect…”
Granny Pang touched the back of her head, which was wrapped in a thick white cloth, and said slowly, “I didn’t expect to be knocked unconscious.”
When she touched her wound, the back of her head began to hurt again, and she gasped in pain.
She shuddered and only reacted now. She looked around in a daze and asked, “Miss, why am I here?”
“I picked you up from the roadside.” Gu Yanfei first answered the other party’s doubts before explaining, “I went to the hunting ground at Upper Forest Park early this morning. I set off early in the morning and haven’t returned to the Marquis Mansion today.”
“Tong Erlang is serving at the Benevolent Harmony Hall now.”
Gu Yanfei’s last sentence made Granny Pang tremble violently, her eyes filled with surprise.
Tong Erlang was also the late Madam’s dowry, which was why Granny Pang believed her that the lady did not need her anymore.
She did not expect Tong Erlang to go to the Benevolent Harmony Hall in just a few years. Granny Pang could not help but feel that things had changed.
Gu Yanfei’s gaze fixed on Granny Pang’s haggard face, and she said seriously, “I didn’t know that Granny Pang was here.”
Whether it was in her previous life or now.
In her previous life, when she found out, Granny Pang had already left.
No, Granny Pang might have been dead!
In her previous life, Granny Pang had probably fallen by the roadside like today and died silently…
Gu Yanfei’s big black eyes were as deep as the night sky, but there was no starlight.
At this moment, Granny Pang also reacted. She grabbed the thin blanket on her body again and blurted out in shock, “Madam!”
“But why?!”
Granny Pang kept the last three words low and murmured them out of her mouth, both in question and in confusion.
“Yes, why?” Gu Yanfei’s voice was clear and cold, like a cold wind sweeping across the water.
The room was lit by oil lamps. The dim yellow light was occasionally swayed by the wisps of wind from the window.
