C105 (1/2)
With the death of one Holy Maiden, countless daughters could still become Holy Maiden.
Therefore, the life and death of this Holy Maiden had nothing to do with them.
”Go, ask Lin Lang to come here and let Holy Maiden have a look …”
After a long time, under the gazes of everyone present, the Grand Elder finally spoke to the servants beside him.
For a time, the matter of the Holy Maiden fainting was thrown into chaos on the altar, so the election of the village chief was temporarily put on hold.
Within a pavilion, inside a small building where the Holy Maiden lived, Gu Yinuo was quietly lying on a bed carved with Pear Blossom Wood.
”Old Lin, how is Holy Maiden?”
Ah Man stood at the window and looked at Gu Yinuo who was lying on the bed with a pale and bloodless face. Her delicate face was filled with worry.
She blamed herself, if she had stopped the Holy Maiden earlier, the current Holy Maiden would not have ended up like this.
”Has Holy Maiden been injured recently …”
Old Lin was a white-haired old man with an amiable expression. He wore a white cloth hat that had been washed over his head. As he stroked his beard that reached to his chest, he asked thoughtfully.
Hearing this, the Great Elder and the others who were standing in the room raised their heads and looked toward Ah Man.
”Holy Maiden has been staying in A'Yi Pavilion for the past few days and has never gone out. What does Elder Lin mean by this?”
Wanda asked with a frown on her face.
”It's nothing, Holy Maiden just fainted due to excessive blood loss, you can just rest for two days.”
So that's how it was.
Upon hearing her words, the corners of Elder Lin's mouth curled up in a faintly discernible cold manner. He looked at the Great Elder, who was standing to the side, and gave a slight nod before speaking slowly and unhurriedly.
Alright, since Holy Maiden is fine, then we won't disturb his rest any longer, let's go back!
The Great Elder waved to the villagers standing behind him and hurriedly left with his men.
”Bang …”
”Dammit. She actually dares to play around with me. Find someone on the verge of death to replace her. Does she think she can escape from my grasp?”
Within the Tong Lu residence, the first elder sat at the head of the hall. His face was twisted with anger, and he looked terrified.
He slammed his palm on the table, causing the table to break into pieces and fly around the room. Fresh blood flowed from his hand, dripping onto the ground drop by drop. It was extremely terrifying.
But he just sneered as if he didn't feel any pain.
”Master, where do you think Gu Yinuo can go? One must know, has she stepped out of the stronghold yet? ”
When the First Madam seated below saw him like this, he did not feel any heartache at all. Instead, he sat to the side coldly and questioned him with an ice-cold expression.
”Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that. The day before the offering, I asked you to find out what she meant, but you couldn't even tell if she was real or fake. Now, everyone knew that Holy Maiden had been stabbed by Ling'er and was in a coma. Ol 'Three will definitely take this opportunity to win over the hearts of the people. It will be very disadvantageous to us when the time comes … ”Tell me, what do we do now?”
The Great Clan Elder stood up and pointed at First Madam, glaring at him angrily while unrestrainedly cursing at him.
Ling Feng's aggressive attitude scared all the maidservant servants present so much that they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe.
”Master, it's all my fault. When I went to see her that day, I really didn't find anything abnormal about her. I never thought that she would change into a crown prince in just one night. I really underestimated her in the past. ”
Facing the furious Great Clan Elder, First Madam was not afraid.
However, the killing intent in her eyes revealed how angry she was right now.
”You only know now, it's too late. Ah Mu, lead your people and search the entire stronghold. I don't believe that a silly little girl like her can hide somewhere. ”
The Great Clan Elder glared at First Madam, flung his sleeves in anger, and spoke to the middle-aged man standing by the side.
”Yes, old master!”
A'Mu's deep eyes flashed for a moment before he saluted to the grand elder respectfully.
He was originally a servant in the mansion, but because of his extraordinary martial arts skills, he got the trust of the Great Elder and sat on the seat of the Shangguan family. To an outsider, it would seem extremely glorious, but as long as he knew the suffering involved.
”Gu Chenyi, let me tell you, if you can't find Gu Yinuo, just wait for Master's punishment! ”Hmph …”
After everyone had left, only the Great Elder and his wife remained in the large hall.
First Madam Lin Wan'er slammed her hands on the table and looked at Great Clan Elder fiercely. Her eyes did not look like she was looking at her husband like she would at her wife, but there was a hint of disdain in them.
”You …”
The Great Elder pointed at her with trembling hands, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
If he could, he would have killed this woman without hesitation.
”I tell you, I can push you to where you are today, and I can pull you down. If I don't find Gu Yinuo within three days, don't blame me for not thinking about our relationship as husband and wife. ”
First Madam suddenly stood up, a trace of ruthlessness hung on his extremely well-maintained face. He tightly grabbed onto the Great Clan Elder's clothes and glared at him, before bringing his maidservant and leaving.
”Ah …”
Watching as First Madam's figure disappeared, the Great Clan Elder smashed apart the most valuable blue and white porcelain bottles in the room with a single palm.
That roar of his resounded throughout the entire elder's courtyard. Everyone shook their heads. These past few years, the First Elder and Madam had loved to quarrel more and more.
Every time this happened, they were already used to it.
