Yun Yueyin hesitated, "Are there any doctors in this world more skilled than the Saintly Hand Divine Doctor?"
"Although the Saintly Hand Divine Doctor is very powerful, there are bound to be areas he's not proficient in. Miss is a woman, and the Saintly Hand Divine Doctor is a man. Perhaps he rarely treats women for facial skin ailments. Your maidservant also overheard this from the Gu family. They were initially going to break off the engagement, but seeing that Miss Gu was already well, they didn't," Wen Shu added.
"Oh? Go to the Gu family immediately and see Gu Zhiruo. Find out where the divine doctor is," Yun Yueyin felt a glimmer of hope.
"Yes."
An hour later, Wen Shu returned.
Her face was very grim.
"Did you find out where the divine doctor is?" Yun Yueyin asked.
Wen Shu shook her head, frowning. "Miss, the Gu family said there's no divine doctor. They're just some physicians from the capital. Your maidservant has heard of those physicians before, and one of them even treated your face previously."
Yun Yueyin was furious. "Is heaven itself opposing me?"
Had her luck deteriorated since not living in the General's Mansion?
"Go and tell Meng Jiatong to make me a prosthetic skin. And ensure she keeps this a secret, absolutely not a word to anyone else! I have something very important to attend to." The thought of the General's Mansion reminded her of what she had seen at the teahouse yesterday.
Gu Xiaofeng was actually close to Yun Shu!
This was something she absolutely could not tolerate!
She was going to see Gu Xiaofeng.
...
Not far from the Night King's Mansion.
Suddenly, fireworks lit up the sky.
The fireworks were beautiful.
Gu Xiaofeng, who was playing with Zhan Xiaoli in the Night King's Mansion, saw the fireworks.
His delicate little face turned serious.
"Who's setting off fireworks? Why are they setting them off during the day?" Zhan Xiaoli asked curiously.
Gu Xiaofeng bit his lip. "I need to go out for a moment, I'll be back soon."
"Where are you going?" Before Zhan Xiaoli could finish asking, Gu Xiaofeng had already run off.
A moment later.
Gu Xiaofeng, having found an excuse to slip away, arrived near the Night King's Mansion, in the alley where the fireworks had been set off.
A carriage was parked there.
It was his godmother's carriage.
He hesitated for a moment, then walked over.
He climbed into the carriage.
Yun Yueyin exuded a cold aura, her face still veiled.
Her gaze towards Gu Xiaofeng was also tinged with coldness.
"Xiaofeng, you've disappointed me too much," Yun Yueyin said in a low, cold voice, her lips tightly pressed, revealing all her displeasure.
In the past, even the slightest hint of her dissatisfaction or anger would frighten Gu Xiaofeng.
Gu Xiaofeng lowered his head, not saying a word.
He was constantly wondering if his godmother had been deceiving him all these years.
He hadn't known what it felt like to be cherished and loved before, and he had always thought his godmother's kindness was the best.
However, his birth mother was gentle with him, not demanding anything of him.
Zhan Xiaoli and Yun Xiaojing were also very good to him.
That kind of unconditional goodness was completely different from the way his godmother now forced him to admit fault and seek favor.
Yun Yueyin, unaware of Gu Xiaofeng's thoughts, saw that he wasn't admitting his mistake. A fierce coldness and anger surged onto her face. "Xiaofeng, do you no longer have me, your godmother, in your eyes? Do you know? If it weren't for your godmother, you might not be alive now!"
Gu Xiaofeng tightly pursed his lips.
"Is it because you've been at the Night King's Mansion these past few days, calling the Night King 'Daddy' every day, that you think the Night King is truly your father? Xiaofeng, in this world, you only have a godmother and a godfather. The Night King is not your father! Also, yesterday I saw you at the temple fair with Yun Shu. Have you forgotten your promise to your godmother? Have you forgotten what your godmother told you? She is a bad woman!" Yun Yueyin accused and berated him with intense anger.
Gu Xiaofeng's starlike eyes suddenly reddened. He sharply raised his head. "She's not a bad woman."
At this moment.
Not far away.
Yun Xiaojing quietly approached.
Then he sat behind the carriage.
He could perfectly hear what was being said inside the carriage.
He had originally come to the Night King's Mansion to find Zhan Xiaoli and the others, but he hadn't expected to see Gu Xiaofeng rushing out of the Night King's Mansion.
Then he saw him sneakily getting into a carriage.
As a result, he heard the bad woman scolding Gu Xiaofeng.
Hmph!
That detestable bad woman, since he ran into her today, he would never let her off easily!
How dare she scold his brother, Yun Xiaojing's brother?
He narrowed his eyes, reached out his small hand, and grabbed a small snake from the nearby grass.
The little snake was very cute.
It slithered onto Yun Xiaojing's small arm and looked obediently at Yun Xiaojing, not daring to move.
Yun Xiaojing petted the little snake's head.
Then he listened to the commotion inside the carriage.
Upon hearing Gu Xiaofeng defending Yun Shu, Yun Yueyin seemed to be going mad.
"What did you say? How many times have you met Yun Shu, and you think she's not a bad person? Don't you believe your godmother's words? Or did Yun Shu say something to you?" Yun Yueyin tightly gripped Gu Xiaofeng's shoulders.
Her grip was particularly strong.
Gu Xiaofeng felt a slight pain. "Godmother, you're hurting me."
Looking at his somewhat hysterical godmother, Gu Xiaofeng broke out in a cold sweat.
Yun Yueyin completely disregarded Gu Xiaofeng's pain, her eyes flashing with ferocious hatred and anger. "Tell me, did Yun Shu say something to you? You're listening to her instead of me?" For years, she had been instilling in Gu Xiaofeng the idea that Yun Shu was a bad woman. She hadn't expected that after meeting Yun Shu only once or twice, Gu Xiaofeng would think Yun Shu wasn't a bad woman!
Her heart was instantly filled with intense rage.
Gu Xiaofeng shook his head. "She didn't say anything."
Godmother was too scary!
Yun Yueyin gritted her teeth. Although she desperately wanted to slap Gu Xiaofeng a few times to teach him a lesson, she calmed down.
Taking a deep breath, she returned to her usual gentle demeanor. "Xiaofeng, if you don't want your godmother to be angry, then do as your godmother says. You must find an opportunity to poison Yun Shu, so she can't harm your godmother in the future! Your godmother put so much effort into teaching you all sorts of poison arts. You must help your godmother get revenge! You must make Yun Shu pay the price, do you understand? Also, find an opportunity to lure Zhan Xiaoli out and bring him to your godmother."
"Godmother, I don't want to poison people, and, perhaps, Godmother misunderstood her?" Gu Xiaofeng asked, mustering his courage.
He didn't want to believe his godmother was a bad person.
He really wanted to confirm if there was some misunderstanding.
Yun Yueyin froze. "What did you say?!"
How dare he defy her orders?
"Godmother, I don't want to do bad things," Gu Xiaofeng said, then jumped directly off the carriage and quickly ran away.
Yun Yueyin's ears buzzed. By the time she reacted and lifted the carriage curtain to call out to Gu Xiaofeng, he had already disappeared into the distance.
Just then, a young boy with exceptionally handsome features suddenly appeared before her.
She was stunned. Where did this wild child come from?
"Your mouth smells a bit!" Yun Xiaojing bared his small white teeth.
