The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story - Chapter 191

191 Unwilling

For the first time, Gu Yanfei began to consider marriage. She tilted her face and muttered, “It’s not enough.”

It wasn’t enough to be a good person.

“Meow?” Qing Guang heard the sound and jumped onto the window sill like a gust of wind. It squatted there and looked up at Gu Yanfei with wide, green eyes.

Gu Yanfei raised her hand and touched the cat.

!!
In the Bright Spirit Realm, Tao companions were two like-minded cultivators who cultivated together, lived, and died together.

This was a matter of life and death. It had to be reported to the world, and a contract had to be formed. Once the two sides formed a contract, they would be each other’s only, and would have to be loyal to each other. Otherwise, they would suffer divine punishment and be struck to death.

With a Tao companion, there could be no more concubines or husbands. That would not do.

“… It’s not a contractual spiritual beast,” Gu Yanfei muttered inaudibly. She reached out her index finger and gently scratched the cat’s chin a few times.

Cultivators in the Bright Spirit Realm could only have one Tao companion who had formed a contract, but they could have several contractual spiritual beasts.

“Meow?” Qing Guang did not hear what Gu Yanfei said clearly, but it vaguely heard the word “spiritual beast”. It blinked its beautiful cat eyes.

A wild instinct told the cat that it seemed to have been taunted.

Gu Yunzhen did not notice what Gu Yanfei said. She looked at the silver world outside the window and sighed. “Ancestor is right about some things. The best feeling in life is mutual love.”

Gu Yanfei looked at Gu Yunzhen deeply. From her tensed fingertips to the smile on her lips to her slightly lowered eyes, her gaze was fixed.

Gu Yunzhen’s eyes were not as calm as her expression. There seemed to be an unknown flame hidden in the depths of her deep eyes.

After she finished speaking, the room was silent until Gu Yunzhen’s maidservant, Fei Cui, broke the silence. “My Lady, it’s about time.”

Madam Gu said that they would set off for the Murong family at the beginning of the day.

Gu Yunzhen seemed to have woken up from a dream. She let go of Gu Yanfei’s hand and smiled. “Second Sister, rest well. I’ll leave first and visit you later.”

Gu Yunzhen hurried away with Fei Cui.

Gu Yanfei quietly looked at the brocade curtain embroidered with the picture of a cat playing with a peony and did not speak for a while.

Juan Bi’s hand that was pouring tea paused along with the sound of the tea falling. She asked hesitantly, “My Lady, is the eldest son-in-law really inappropriate?”

Gu Yanfei shook her head and said affirmatively, “From what we’ve seen so far, he’s not appropriate.”

“Then, My Lady…” Juan Bi hesitated and rubbed the teapot before continuing to pour tea.

Gu Yanfei picked up the cup of tea and looked at the tea leaves floating in it. She pursed her lips.

Everyone’s life was a single bridge that belonged to them. They had to move forward on their own and not be pushed by others.

She couldn’t make the decision on her behalf. It would implicate cause and effect.

It was not good for her or anyone else.

Gu Yanfei put down the teacup and suddenly stood up. She instructed Juan Bi, “Help me change.”

Juan Bi was stunned for a moment. She quickly changed Gu Yanfei’s clothes and combed her hair into a double bun.

When Gu Yanfei arrived at the entrance, the timing was just right. Madam Gu and Gu Yunzhen were preparing to get into the carriage.

“Second Sister.” Gu Yunzhen was the first to see Gu Yanfei and exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone else looked in Gu Yanfei’s direction.

Even Madam Gu, who was about to get into the carriage with Bai Lu’s hand, stopped and turned around.

Gu Yanfei was also wearing an aqua green dress, which was very similar to the color of Gu Yunzhen’s dress. When she walked to Gu Yunzhen’s side and the two of them stood together, one was gentle and beautiful, elegant and dignified, and the other was beautiful, free, and easy. Their auras were very different.

Gu Yanfei smiled at Gu Yunzhen first, then said to Madam Gu as if nothing had happened, “Madam, I’ll follow you.”

“Perhaps I can cure the Old Madam of the Murong family. This way, when Eldest Sister marries over, the other party will think highly of her. It’ll be good for the Marquis Household too.”

As she spoke, a half-smile played on her lips.

Gu Yanfei had always had such a casual attitude that no one could tell if she was telling the truth, and Madam Gu could not be bothered to think about it. She narrowed her eyes and looked back and forth between Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yanfei was right.

If she could really cure the Old Madam, the Murong family would not have to mourn, and the eldest son-in-law’s future would not be affected. It was obvious that the Murong family would definitely thank the Dingyuan Marquis Household.

Anyway, in name, she was going to visit a patient. There was no harm in bringing along another granddaughter.

Madam Gu stroked the bright blue fur on her sleeve and revealed a graceful smile. She said calmly, “If you want to go, let’s go together.”

Without waiting for Gu Yanfei to speak, Madam Gu held Bai Lu’s hand and got into the black carriage at the front. Gu Yanfei followed Gu Yunzhen into the carriage at the back.

Meeting Gu Yunzhen’s quiet and complicated gaze, Gu Yanfei smiled and whispered, “I’m very good at judging people.”

After being reborn, Gu Yanfei was lucky to have a second chance. She really did not want her sister to sacrifice herself.

Her eldest sister was so good that she deserved the best man!

Gu Yunzhen watched as she casually leaned against the wall of the carriage, her eyes as bright as stars in the dim carriage. Gu Yunzhen’s heart softened, as if she was bathing in warm sunlight and hot springs.

The carriage arrived at the Murong family residence after the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

The Murong family’s mansion in the capital was located in Anping Alley in the north of the city.

The residence had been bought by Murong Yong’s father 20 years ago. It was a three-in-one residence. The walls of the alley were mottled with time. The canopy of thick pagoda trees, as thick as umbrellas, covered the top. Half-yellow leaves were clipped to the crown.

From the moment the carriage drove into the alley where the Murong family was, Gu Yanfei felt her vision darken.

The long and narrow alley was like a narrow wooden bridge. The towering walls made the light in the alley dim, giving off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

There was no sun today, and the weather was a little gloomy. Patches of mottled tree shadows cast gloomy shadows on the walls, doors, and ground, as if thick dark clouds were looming over the mansion.

Gu Yanfei’s heart sank, and a rather uncomfortable feeling rose in her heart.
