The scene at that time flashed quickly in Madam Huas mind. She narrowed her eyes slightly and stood there in a daze.

Wait a minute!

Did Master smile after 1 agreed to marry off our eldest son?

Did he smile?!

Master Huas smile appeared in her mind again. His smile was filled with relief, antic.i.p.ation, ruthlessness, and ambition That smile was too strange.

Master! Madam Huas red and swollen eyes widened. She grabbed Master Huas arm tightly and asked sternly, Are you related to Xier and Zhaoers illnesses?

Tell me!

Her voice was sharp and hoa.r.s.e.

Are you done fooling around? Master Hua was angry. His face was red as he shook off his wifes hand.

Master Hua ignored his wife and got into the carriage first.

Lets go!

His voice was sharp as he threw down this word. Then the coachman waved the horsewhip and drove the carriage away without hesitation.

Master Huas reaction confirmed Madam Huas guess.

Madam Hua felt cold all over, and her heart seemed to have a few more holes that allowed the cold wind to blow through. It was cold and painful to the bone marrow.

Madam Hua looked at Gu Yanfei, who wasnt far away, in a daze.

Her mouth moved, and she wanted to ask something, but she couldnt make a sound. Her throat felt like it was being choked, and it burned like fire.

Gu Yanfei seemed to have seen through Madam Huas intentions and said indifferently, The sin in this soul comes from the family. For generations, as long as its wors.h.i.+ped, itll never stop.

The surname is the original sin. Itll naturally be retribution on the children.

Thats why your eldest son fell ill.

Her words. .h.i.t Madam Huas heart gently, like snow falling into an ice river.

Madam Hua was even more confused. She felt that she could understand every word Gu Yanfei said, but she didnt understand why they were connected. Gu Yanfei leisurely took another sip of hot tea before saying, Have you seen the Hua family tree?

Of course! Madam Hua nodded hurriedly.

Gu Yanfei continued, Do you remember the birthdays and death sacrifices of those clansmen in the family tree?

She spoke extremely slowly and meaningfully.

Madam Hua couldnt help but touch the beads on her wrist. Her fingers rubbed the agarwood beads as she recalled what Gu Yanfei had said.

As the wife of the main family, she had read the family tree more than once, but she hadnt read it so carefully. In the past, she had only glanced at it briefly when she was updating the family tree.

Not long ago, she had read it carefully again because she wanted to choose an heir for her eldest son.

She tried her best to remember the contents of the family tree and frowned bit by bit.

It was as if there would be men dying young every generation in the main branch.

It wasnt unusual for children to die young, since it was difficult to raise children. Even in the royal family, children often died young. However, the men who died young in the Hua family tree were often between 15 and 16 years old. Furthermore, they all died of illness.

The family would find a marriage for the young man who had died young, form a nether relations.h.i.+p, and then adopt a son from the side family

When she looked at the family tree, Madam Hua hadnt thought too much about it. It wasnt rare to have a Yin marriage. But now, her state of mind was different. The more she thought about it, the more shocked she became.

The blood gradually drained from her face, and she was as pale as paper. Her body trembled, and she almost didnt dare to think about it anymore.

Do you understand? Gu Yanfei suddenly got up from the round chair and casually stroked her dress. Then, she slowly walked towards Madam Hua.

The sky became even darker again, and the thick clouds were so heavy that they looked like they were about to fall at any moment.

Under the dense shadows of the trees above, Gu Yanfeis face became even more blurry. However, her eyes were very clear, bright, and soul-stirring.

She said softly, as if she was chanting, The person who harmed your son isnt anyone else.

Theres no one else who can save your son.

Only you.

Her voice was so gentle and clear, with an indescribable charm that made people involuntarily sink into it.

Only you. She stared intently into Madam Huas eyes.

These words seemed to be engraved in the other partys eyes.

Madam Hua nodded in a daze and knelt down again.. Second Lady Gu, please teach me how to save my son!
