The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story
Chapter 117 - 117 Biased117 Biased
She treated him so well that she almost bared her soul for him.
“Old Physician Li, this way.”
The female voice from outside perked everyone up.
An old granny anxiously led a gray-haired old doctor into the room.
After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Old Physician Li sent the other unrelated people out of the room. He said that he wanted to set the Marquis’s bones right, and only Madam Wang could stay inside.
Madam Gu, Gu Yuan, and Gu Yanfei were all waiting in the second left room outside the green gauze cabinet.
“Crack.”
The bone-cracking sound and Gu Jian’s sharp scream sounded at the same time.
This was only the beginning. After that, screams sounded one after another, as if they wanted to overturn the roof or stab Madam Gu’s heart with thousands of needles.
Madam Gu’s heart ached. She craned her neck worriedly to look into the room a few more times and hurriedly sent Granny Li in to see how Gu Jian was doing.
She could barely sit still. When her gaze swept past Gu Yuan, who was a few steps away, her worried eyes were filled with anger. “Yuan’er, what exactly is going on?”

She was just short of directly questioning if Gu Yuan had accidentally hurt Gu Jian?!
“…” Gu Yuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. His heart was a little cold and heavy.
Images from the past flashed past his eyes like lanterns.
He was the eldest grandson, and his grandmother had doted on him since he was young.
After his mother passed away, he lived in the capital for several years. It was his grandmother who personally enlightened him.
In the next few years, he and Gu Yunrong traveled between the capital and Yangzhou. Every year, they lived in the capital for three to four months, and his grandmother had always treated them intimately.
However, everything had changed since her father’s death eight years ago.
His grandmother’s attitude toward him softened instantly. She was always polite, as if separated by a layer, or wary of him.
Five years ago, he wanted to enter the military camp, but his grandmother was furious and reprimanded him for not taking the imperial examination to become an official. He insisted on learning from his father!
He also knew that his grandmother blamed his father for almost causing the Marquis Household to lose its title.
In the blink of an eye, eight years had passed.
Gu Yuan’s eyes were dark and turbulent, but they became calm, indifferent, cold, and deep.
“Madam, you can’t say that.” Gu Yanfei raised her hand and snapped her fingers gently, looking relaxed. “I said last time that the Marquis has been facing a calamity.”
Madam Gu frowned slightly as Gu Yanfei’s words from last month sounded in her ears again. “You’ve killed too many people. Looks like retribution is going to befall your descendants.”
Thinking of how her son had been injured twice in less than a month, Madam Gu’s heart skipped a beat. Her heart was in turmoil as she said, “But didn’t you resolve it last time?”
Meeting Madam Gu’s frightened gaze, Gu Yanfei asked with a smile, “Madam, think about it carefully. How many sins have you committed?”
“As the saying goes, these are two separate matters. This retribution has to be paid slowly.”
Gu Yanfei’s small face was still smiling playfully, making Madam Gu speechless.
Madam Gu pinched the prayer beads uneasily, but she could not be sure if Gu Yanfei was pretending to scare her.
This girl was too wild!
“Ah!”
Another heart-wrenching scream sounded in the jade cabinet.
Madam Gu’s face turned a little pale. She felt as if her soul had been dealt a heavy blow and was so shocked that she almost jumped up. She was flustered, terrified, and uneasy. It was as if pairs of invisible eyes were staring at her from a dark corner, wanting her to pay with her life.
Seeing that Madam Gu’s expression was not good, Bai Lu quickly served her tea, but she waved it away impatiently. Bai Lu’s hand trembled, and hot tea spilled out of the cup and splattered on the back of her hand.
Bai Lu’s face turned pale, but Madam Gu was oblivious.

These common sayings still make sense, don’t you think so, Madam?” Gu Yanfei’s faint voice resounded in the house again. Against the screams in the green silk cabinet, it looked even colder.
Madam Gu’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Gu Yanfei expressionlessly, her eyes filled with embarrassment.
What was this girl hinting at?! Was she accusing him of being biased towards his second son and not liking his eldest son?!
Meeting the other party’s sharp and turbid old eyes, Gu Yanfei was unmoved. She said slowly, “The Marquis only broke his hand, but Madam was already crying until she was about to faint. Eight years ago, Father died in Yangzhou in battle and his head was hung high by the enemy. Did Madam react in the same way?”
Madam Gu’s pale face darkened and turned green.
Gu Yanfei did not need her to answer at all and continued, “I heard that Madam didn’t even shed a tear, right?”
Gu Yuan pursed his lips into a straight line and clenched his fists. His entire body was as cold as ice.
“…” Madam Gu seemed to have been slapped by Gu Yanfei. Her anger surged, and her aura was cold. This girl really dared to run her mouth. How dare she, as a junior, condemn the elders for being biased?!
Gu Yanfei chuckled, tilted her head, and sighed slowly. “If someone didn’t know better, they would think that Madam only has one son.”
Gu Yuan’s body trembled slightly.
Gu Yanfei’s words repeatedly lingered in his ears. “If someone didn’t know better, they would think that Madam only has one son.”
This was also the question he had once asked his grandmother when he was dreaming at night, but he had never told anyone.
His body was as tense as a drawn bow.
Gu Yanfei noticed Gu Yuan’s abnormality and quietly reached out to grab his sleeve and shake it gently.
Gu Yanfei knew that this had always been a knot in her brother’s heart.
