218 Making the Call
There was an instant silence.
Everyone knew that the Old Marquis, Gu Xuan, had died 14 years ago. In the Gu family’s ancestral hall, the Old Marquis’ memorial tablet was worshiped.
How could the dead decide for Gu Yunzhen?!
Gu Jian frowned, feeling that this pair of siblings was simply ridiculous.
!!
Gu Yuan actually didn’t understand what his sister meant, but this didn’t stop him from listening to her.
When facing outsiders, Gu Yuan was a proud wolf with a sharpness that could tear apart one’s heart.
However, when he faced Gu Yanfei, he would retract his sharp claws and become her gentlest and most reliable brother.
He lowered his eyes and smiled gently at Gu Yanfei, his expression doting and tolerant.
His sister never spoke without thinking. She must have her reasons for saying so.
There was silence in the house for another moment. The air was oppressive and heavy, so heavy that it seemed to be dripping.
An old servant swallowed and carefully took a step closer to Madam Gu. She reported, “Madam, Marquis, the auspicious time has arrived.”
The old servant didn’t dare to look at Madam Gu and Gu Jian’s faces.
Madam Gu retracted her gaze from Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei with a dark expression. Abnormally intense emotions surged in her eyes. There was anger, depression, embarrassment, and turbulence, but in the end, she suppressed them.
She cleared her throat and put on a serious expression. “Let’s go, Marquis,” she said indifferently, as if nothing had happened.
She took the lead and walked unhurriedly in the direction of the sacrificial hall.
At first glance, her expression was dignified and inviolable.
Everyone suppressed their complicated emotions and followed closely.
However, after the episode just now, a few of them were a little frustrated and couldn’t calm down. They glanced at Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei from time to time.
Soon, everyone surrounded Madam and Gu Jian as they passed through the front hall and entered the sacrificial hall at the back. The procession of worshippers was vast.
