212 Giving Up
Gu Yanfei looked at the compass beside her and suddenly understood why the Murong family had chosen Gu Yunzhen to “rush joy”.
Not only was Gu Yunzhen’s birth characters light, her body and soul were also weak. It was easy for her to encounter evil spirits. Therefore, her luck was the easiest to plunder, and she was the most suitable candidate.
“Enough.” Gu Yunzhen interrupted Gu Yunrong. Her expression was still as gentle as ever. “Third Sister, I’m already of age.”
According to the customs of the Great Jin Dynasty, coming of age meant that a woman had reached adulthood.
“I’ve already decided.”
The last words were soft but firm.
There was silence.
Gu Yunrong’s eyes widened slightly, and her smile froze on her face. She looked at Gu Yunzhen with disappointment, shock, and a faint sigh. “Big Sister, you disappoint me!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the golden luck around Gu Yunrong surged even more violently, entangling Gu Yunzhen like spewing magma.
Even the light of the rising sun paled in comparison to her luck.
Gu Yunzhen’s pupils dilated, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. Her fair hand gripped the handkerchief tightly.
“Don’t always say that you’re disappointed. Who do you think you are!” Gu Yanfei’s cold voice sounded again. Her lips pursed into a mocking smile, and her tone was both direct and sharp. “Do you want to control her, or do you want to step on her?”
“Take care of yourself!”
What was wrong with Gu Yunrong? Why did she have to knead others like clay?!
“…” Gu Yunrong frowned slightly. She felt that Gu Yanfei was simply ridiculous. Or perhaps she could not bear to see others doing well.
Gu Yanfei had thought that if Gu Yunzhen couldn’t marry Murong Yong, it would be very difficult for her to find another similar marriage.
Gu Yunzhen would only regret it for the rest of her life if she really rushed joy.
In this world, rules were much stricter on women than on men. Other than getting married, Gu Yunzhen had no other way out.
Unlike Gu Yunrong!
Gu Yanfei’s eyes were calm, and her dark eyes were like a vast galaxy. She captured Gu Yunrong’s transcendence and superiority again.
The other party’s gaze seemed to be saying that she was different from the others, as if she knew that she was the favored child of the heavens and the daughter of luck!
Gu Yanfei was deep in thought as she continued clearly, “Gu Yunzhen isn’t your big sister.”
“Her surname is Gu.”
“What’s your last name? Do you need me to remind you?”
“If you want your ideal eldest sister, go to Huaibei. Your biological cousin is there.”
“Your biological father and brother are also there.”
“Don’t look for your family in our Gu family.”
As Gu Yanfei spoke, her tone was flat. She looked around and seemed casual but carefree, natural and beautiful.
“…” Gu Yunrong’s face turned pale from Gu Yanfei’s scolding. A rare sullen expression appeared on her face. She was embarrassed, angry, and anxious.
To her, her dishonorable background was her weakness.
Every time this was mentioned, it was like a wound that had finally formed a scar had been torn open bloodily.
Gu Yanfei hid her right hand under the stone table and quickly drew a talisman in the air. Then, she pretended to pat Gu Yunzhen’s back and patted the talisman on her body. A weak stream of light flashed and entered Gu Yunzhen’s body without anyone noticing.
Sensing Gu Yanfei’s hand gently caressing her back, Gu Yunzhen’s slightly dazed eyes instantly became firm again, and her gaze was as clear as water.
“Third Sister, this is my life,” Gu Yunzhen said seriously as she looked at Gu Yunrong, who was a few steps away.
This was her life. She should be the one to decide, not the one to be kidnapped by someone else’s words.
Gu Yanfei also smiled.
She saw that the white luck around Gu Yunzhen, which had long dimmed, became richer at this moment. The golden aura around her quickly retreated as if it had been electrocuted.
It was as if something had completely severed the connection between Gu Yunrong and Gu Yunzhen.
“…” Gu Yunrong looked at Gu Yunzhen in a daze. Her heart was extremely cold and disappointed.
Gu Yunzhen was no longer the big sister she knew.
Since that was the case, she wouldn’t persuade her anymore.
“Suit yourself,” Gu Yunrong spat out. Without hesitation, she turned around and left.
She was a little distracted and forgot that there were stone steps beside the pavilion. Suddenly, her feet missed a step and she fell forward.
