Chapter 256 Completely destroyed
Xu Yingying couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard Li Siqi's question. "I went to Grand Tutor Guo's house today. Master Guo said that he vomited blood after drinking my medicine. I went to check on him, but before I saw him, Madam Guo and her men packed him up and threw him into the woodshed..."
Xu Yingying complained bitterly to Li Siqi, expressing her dissatisfaction and resentment. Xu Yingying was very angry today. She didn't want to be angry to death, so she had to make Mrs. Guo unhappy.
After hearing what Xu Yingying said, Li Siqi was also distressed, and quickly followed Xu Yingying's words and said, "Don't be angry for now, this matter is his fault. I will take you to avenge it tomorrow. I asked the servants to prepare your favorite meal to reward you."
Xu Yingying nodded aggrievedly and let Li Siqi take her to dinner.
After eating and drinking, Xu Yingying felt a lot less depressed and returned to her yard in a good mood.
After coaxing the person, Li Siqi also breathed a sigh of relief. All that was left was to teach Master Guo a lesson.
The next day, Li Siqi hosted a banquet in Baihua Tower to entertain Grand Tutor Guo.
Grand Tutor Guo was somewhat flattered and came to Baihua Tower on time for the banquet. During the banquet, Li Siqi talked about what happened at the Grand Tutor's Mansion yesterday.
"Grandmaster Guo, I have heard about what happened yesterday. Your Madam is truly a loving mother. For the sake of her son, she did not hesitate to commit a crime that violated her superiors.
Li Siqi's light words made Master Guo's back covered in cold sweat.
Master Guo quickly put down his chopsticks and didn't even dare to eat. "Your Highness, what happened yesterday was my fault. I didn't discipline my wife well, so I offended Miss Xu. I'm here to apologize to Miss Xu on behalf of my wife."
Li Siqi bowed his head and said, "Grandmaster Guo, you are too kind. I can forgive what happened yesterday, right? Come, eat some food..."
Grand Tutor Guo was a smart man. He could tell that Li Siqi was pointing a finger at him. After returning to his Grand Tutor's Mansion, he did not even have time to change out of his court robes. He personally brought Madam Guo to Xu Yingying's house to apologize.
Mrs. Guo has always been arrogant and would never go to anyone's house to apologize. But this time, she was forced by Grand Tutor Guo to come and apologize, and her attitude was indeed very sincere.
"Your Highness, I have brought my wife with me to apologize to Miss Xu. I hope Miss Xu will be magnanimous and not bear grudges against my wife."
Xu Yingying saw Madam Guo in front of her and apologized to her, "Miss Xu, it was my fault yesterday. I'm sorry." As she spoke, Madam Guo signaled the maid behind her to present a gift.
Xu Yingying was not a petty person. After the misunderstanding was resolved, she did not want to embarrass Mrs. Guo, so she just asked her to accept the gift. "Madam, you are too kind. I said yesterday that you are just worried about Mr. Guo. There is nothing wrong for a mother to worry about her own child."
Seeing Xu Yingying give in, Mrs. Guo also breathed a sigh of relief. She then wanted to say something to Xu Yingying, but after looking at Li Siqi and Grand Tutor Guo beside her, she still didn't say it.
Xu Yingying noticed that Mrs. Guo was hesitant to speak, "Madam, do you have anything to say?"
"Yes, I have something else I would like to ask Miss Xu for help with. I wonder if Miss Xu can speak further?"
Xu Yingying took Madam Guo to the backyard and stopped only when they could no longer see Li Siqi and Grand Tutor Guo.
Mrs. Guo knelt down directly in front of Xu Yingying.
"Mrs. Guo, what do you mean?" Xu Yingying was stunned by Mrs. Guo's behavior and quickly moved aside, wanting to help Mrs. Guo up.
"Miss Xu, I know you are well versed in the art of yin and yang. I also know that my Yao'er doesn't have much time left. I just want to ask Miss Xu for one thing. I am already middle-aged and have lived for so many years. I have seen everything, but my Yao'er is still young. He has hardly left the house because of his illness. I just hope that Miss Xu can pass on my life to my Yao'er. I want my Yao'er to live a few more years in good health."
"Parents who love their children will always plan for their future. Mrs. Guo has good intentions, but I really don't know how to use such evil magic. Life and death are determined by fate, as is wealth and honor. I hope Mrs. Guo will accept my condolences." Xu Yingying sighed deeply.
Seeing this, Mrs. Guo's face was full of disappointment. Without saying anything more, she stood up and left in a daze.
Xu Yingying looked at Mrs. Guo's departing back and sighed in her heart. She had still deceived Mrs. Guo. She could do such a thing, but it was something against the will of heaven and it was unacceptable in the world. Xu Yingying didn't want to drag herself into it.
Xu Yingying was a little worried, so she calculated Guo Hongyao's life span. If it weren't for the poisoning, Guo Hongyao might have lived a few more years. Now he only had a year left to live. But Xu Yingying didn't know how Mrs. Guo knew that Guo Hongyao would not live long.
Yu Xiao also heard about Guo Hongyao's life span. She ran directly to Xu Yingying and said, "Miss Xu, I have a way to solve the problem of Guo Hongyao. I can extend his life for a few more years, but after that, I will no longer exist in this world. I just hope that Miss Xu can fulfill her promise and help me find the truth about my death."
Yu Xiao's eyes were full of determination. Before Xu Yingying could stop her, Yu Xiao's figure had disappeared in front of her.
The incident happened suddenly and Xu Yingying had no time to react. Yu Xiao seemed to have made such a plan a long time ago and burned her own ghost as nourishment to provide to Guo Hongyao.
Feeling that her connection with Yu Xiao was cut off, Xu Yingying sighed deeply and murmured, "Yu Xiao, why are you doing this?"
After that, Guo Hongyao's health gradually recovered. He used to be on the verge of death, but now he was able to walk again, and he no longer looked like a dying man.
The Guo family was delighted with Guo Hongyao's transformation and attributed all the credit for Guo Hongyao's improvement to Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying did not comment on this. After Guo Hongyao's health improved a lot, Xu Yingying visited him in person.
Facing Xu Yingying who saved his life, Guo Hongyao showed great respect to her. Before Guo Hongyao could say anything, Xu Yingying handed Guo Hongyao a sachet.
The sachet seemed to be quite old, and Guo Hongyao didn't know what Xu Yingying meant.
Xu Yingying was staring at the sachet in a daze. This was the sachet that Yu Xiao had woven herself when she was alive. Now that Yu Xiao's soul was gone, Xu Yingying simply gave the sachet to Guo Hongyao.
"Have you ever thought about who gave you this life?"
"Isn't it you, Miss Xu?" Guo Hongyao was very puzzled as to why Xu Yingying said that.
