At this moment, Madam Gu wanted to end this matter quickly.

She definitely couldn’t give the siblings a chance to cause trouble.

Madam Gu hugged the memorial tablet tightly, as if she was hugging her lifeblood and refused to let go for a moment.

Gu Yanfei’s clear gaze lingered on the two words “Gu Xuan” on the memorial tablet for a moment before she retracted her gaze. Her right hand hidden in her sleeve curled slightly.

From the moment Madam Gu lost her composure and took the memorial tablet, Gu Yanfei had guessed that the “Substitute Talisman” was inside the memorial tablet.

Gu Yanfei had the thought of snatching the memorial tablet away, but for a moment, she felt a weak soul aura from it.

The aura was very weak. Because it had been worshiped by incense for many years, it already had a chance of survival.

At that moment, Gu Yanfei understood who the soul in the memorial tablet

That was her and her eldest brother’s biological grandmother.

That “substitute” without a name.

The corners of Gu Yanfei’s eyes turned sour as she pursed her pink lips.

As long as it involved the ‘Substitute Technique”, it was never a good story.

She didn’t know why the “substitute” whose soul should have been destroyed still had a breath of soul left.

However, this talisman mustn’t be destroyed!

After being reborn twice and cultivating in the Bright Spirit Realm for 200 years, Gu Yanfei knew better than anyone else in this world that dissipating meant completely disappearing from the world without reincarnation.

Once her soul disappeared, her biological grandmother would really be extinguished!

Not only could the talisman in the memorial tablet not be destroyed, but it also had to continue staying ancestral hall and be nourished by the incense of its descendants.

Only then could the “substitute” obtain a trace of opportunity to reincarnate.

A dazzling cold glint flashed across Gu Yanfei’s eyes.

When she turned to look at Granny Li, who was a few steps away, her emotions had already calmed down. She said indifferently, ‘Did you hear that? Go and pass on the message that the Gu family won’t marry off their daughter today.”

The golden candlelight splashed on her dark hair and skin, giving her a warm halo, but it made her eyes look clearer and colder.

Granny Li couldn’t help but shiver. She almost didn’t dare to look Gu Yanfei in the eye and subconsciously responded.

Gu Yanfei didn’t say anything else. She grabbed Gu Yunzhen’s hand and pulled her out. ‘Big Sister, let’s go.’

Faced with this sudden development, Gu Yunzhen still felt as if she was in a dream. For a moment, she couldn’t think straight. Has grandfather really appeared?

When she was ancestral hall yesterday, she had told her grandfather about her marriage to the Murong family and said that she didn’t want to marry. So, her grandfather had appeared to help her?

Before Gu Yunzhen could figure it out, Gu Yanfei pulled her towards the front hall with steady footsteps. Still in a daze, Gu Yunzhen obediently followed her, feeling like she was floating.

Gu Yuan was like Gu Yanfei’s sidekick and immediately followed.

When he turned around, his cold gaze gently swept across the memorial tablet in Madam Guts arms again.

Actually, there were still many things he didn’t understand that he planned to ask his sister later.

Madam Yan didn’t stay either and quickly left.

After Gu Yanfei and the other three left, the sacrificial hall was silent.

The others stood rooted to the ground, their emotions and expressions indescribably complicated. They didn’t know if they should leave or stay.

Fourth Master Gu, Fifth Master Gu, and his wife exchanged glances.

Gu Yunzhen was involved whole ordeal and couldn’t see things clearly.

However, it was the bystanders who saw things clearly.

No one was stupid. Apart from the younger children, almost everyone else could tell that there was something strange about the Old Marquis’s memorial tablet.

But no one knew exactly what was strange…

Gu Yunrong stood there in a daze and looked at the dejected Madam Gu.

Her heart ached for Madam, but she had just been scolded by Madam in public and couldn’t bring herself to go over.

Moreover, anyone could tell that Madam was still angry. If she was angered again… then it would be difficult for her to take a step in the Marquis Mansion.

At the thought of this, Gu Yunrong was stunned. A bitter smile appeared on her bright face, and her eyelashes lowered slightly to hide the ripples in her eyes. Since when did she have to rely on Madam’s love to survive in the residence?

Gu Yunrong was immersed in her thoughts and fell into a daze.

‘Mother,” Gu Jian called out carefully, taking a step closer to Madam Gu..
