67 Disfigurement

Eh?! Juan Bi's gaze landed on the phoenix-patterned jade pendant in Gu Yanfei's hand that seemed to have lit up just now.

Was it her imagination? Juan Bi rubbed her eyes and, at the same time, her mouth did not stop moving as she said, “My Lady, at that time, the British Duchess' face was extremely dark, as if it was covered in dust. However, she did not dare to show off to Kang Wang, so she could only pressure Madam Gu to ask what the Gu family meant and if the engagement was still on?!”

“Before Madam Gu could answer, Kang Wang rushed to say that he wanted the British Duchess to go back and ask if the British Duke really wanted to go against him and the Empress Dowager?!”

Juan Bi beamed with joy and added fuel to the fire. She even deliberately imitated the tone of the British Duchess talking to Kang Wang to watch the commotion.

Juan Bi's words went in Gu Yanfei's left ear and out the right ear. She did not care much about Gu Yunrong and Kang Wang's matters and focused more on the jade pendant in her hand.

Gu Yunzhen, who was sitting beside her, frowned worriedly. Her fair hands subconsciously clenched her handkerchief, wanting to ask what would happen next.

Gu Yunzhen inevitably recalled the scene of Gu Yunrong, Kang Wang, and Fang Mingfeng fighting over a woman at Prince Jing's Manor that day and her beautiful frown deepened.

Kang Wang and Fang Mingfeng were both unruly. As long as Gu Yunrong's marriage was not settled, the residence would not stop.

Sometimes, Gu Yunzhen really hoped that Gu Yunrong would quickly settle the marriage with Fang Mingfeng and end everything.

“Ring, ring…”

On the ground, a vine ball wrapped in bells rolled to Gu Yunzhen's embroidered shoe. The kitten meowed and chased after the vine ball.

Her green cat eyes met Gu Yunzhen's.

In an instant, Gu Yunzhen completely fell into those deep and charming cat eyes that were as deep as the sea. She wished she could give her body and mind to it.

She leaned over and picked up the vine ball, tossing it out.

“Meow!”

Qing Guang leaped out and slapped the rattan ball. It rolled quickly across the mirror-smooth ground.

The winter sun poured into the house. The kitten's glossy fur shone in the winter sunlight, and its green eyes sparkled.

Juan Bi looked at the kitten in a daze. Then, as if fascinated, they squatted down and played with Gu Yunzhen.

“Ring, ring…”

The rattan ball rolled around and around, and the calico cat chased after it happily, its fluffy claws waving now and then, swatting, pouncing, and scratching.

Only the sound of the bell echoed in the air.

Gu Yanfei closed her eyes, unaware of her surroundings.

Having already entered a state of mind-and-body fusion, she focused on absorbing the last bit of spiritual energy from the jade pendant into her body and converting it into her own spiritual energy. Spiritual energy washed through her limbs and organs, as if she was bathing in warm sunlight.

When Gu Yanfei opened her eyes and looked at the phoenix-patterned jade pendant in her hand again, she realized that the jade pendant had already dimmed. It was no longer as lustrous as before, like a petal lacking water.

It became an ordinary jade pendant.

Gu Yanfei casually threw the jade pendant that she had been playing with for three days to the side and focused on sensing the spiritual energy in her body again.

She was still far from drawing it into her body, but the spiritual energy absorbed from the jade pendant was very beneficial to her.

When she had just been reborn, in order to save Juan Bi, who was on the verge of death, she had not hesitated to use her blood essence to draw talismans to pull her back from the gates of hell. However, this resurrection technique was forbidden by the rules of this small world and cost her lifespan.

After being cleansed by the spiritual energy in the jade pendant this time, it was enough to make up for her lost lifespan. She felt refreshed and unprecedentedly relaxed.

The skin on her face, neck, and hands was even more delicate and smooth than before, as if it was shining.

When she opened her eyes, what she saw stunned her.

Gu Yunzhen and Juan Bi were both squatting on the ground. One of them was holding a peacock tail feather and swinging it gently. The other was holding a box filled with chicken slices, waiting for the cat emperor to come.

Qing Guang was like a fish in water as it patted the peacock tail feathers twice, ate some chicken slices, and came to Gu Yanfei's side with the rattan ball in its mouth. It stuffed the rattan ball into her mouth and gestured for her to play with it.

“…” Gu Yanfei was speechless. She grabbed the “soft meat” on the back of the kitten's neck and picked it up.

The cat widened its green eyes in shock. It could not believe that Gu Yanfei learned bad things and actually treated it like that “bold and unruly person”.

Gu Yanfei placed the kitten on her knees and covered the peephole with her other hand.

Gu Yunzhen, who was squatting on the ground, blinked before returning to her senses. Her beautiful face revealed a hint of embarrassment.

She quickly stood up from the ground. When she got up, her bangs were blown by the wind, revealing a slightly protruding scar on her forehead. It was about half an inch long and stood out against her fair and smooth forehead.

Gu Yanfei's gaze could not help but fall on the scar.

The Heavenly Tao had its own checks and balances. A person's fate was actually not so easy to change.

In her previous life, Gu Yunzhen was disfigured in Prince Jing's Manor, leaving behind irreparable regrets for the rest of her life. In this life, Gu Yunzhen avoided the calamity of Prince Jing's Manor, but her face was injured by Madam Gu and her appearance was damaged again.

It could be seen that some things had their own karma that could not be avoided.

Because of this, Gu Yanfei had always been worried that Gu Yunzhen would leave a scar. More than half a month had passed, but this wound still did not heal. Instead, the scar worsened, becoming slightly protruding and red.

Seeing Gu Yanfei staring at Gu Yunzhen's scar, Gu Yunzhen's maidservant, Fei Cui, could not help but say, “The Third Madam has hired many doctors for the Eldest Lady. She's used all kinds of methods, but her injuries haven't healed.”

“Last time, because of the Third Lady, Madam Gu vented her anger on the Eldest Lady and even hurt her face. It's been so many days, but Madam Gu has never cared about the Eldest Lady.”

“Today, the British Monarchy came to make an engagement. Madam Gu wants to call the Eldest Lady over to accompany the Third Lady again. Fortunately, Second Lady, you sent Juan Bi to invite the Eldest Lady earlier today…”

As she spoke, Fei Cui looked indignant.

Now that things had turned out like that, Madam Gu might take it out on her daughter again and blame her for not going over to protect the Third Lady.

“Fei Cui,” Gu Yunzhen chided softly, interrupting Fei Cui.

Gu Yunzhen looked at Gu Yanfei and reminded her gently, “Second Sister, don't appear in front of Grandma for the next few days…”

She stopped there to remind Gu Yanfei that if the marriage with the Fang family failed, Madam Gu might have designs on Gu Yanfei again.

Gu Yanfei smiled.

Gu Yunzhen had always been like this. She was gentle and strong, forbearing and not weak.

“I'll listen to you, Big Sister,” Gu Yanfei replied with a smile. She pulled Gu Yunzhen to sit beside her. “Big Sister, when I was in Huaibei in the past, I was lucky enough to meet a traveling Taoist priest and learned some skills from him…”

As she spoke, she gently tapped Gu Yunzhen's forehead with her index and middle fingers.
