Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring
Chapter 191 The Southern Border Witch 34
Xiao Qi'an suffered in place of his mother, born with a strange poison that caused his body to turn blue and purple and cause him to convulse constantly.
Gu Wu Hui had no way to cure the poison, so he could only suppress it in Xiao Qi An's legs, which resulted in Xiao Qi An being born with a disability, but at least he survived.
This is the best possible solution compared to the loss of both mother and child.
Neither Gigi Lai nor Xiao Changjue blamed Gu Wuhui; on the contrary, they were filled with gratitude towards him.
Later, even after consulting countless doctors, no one could find an antidote; they couldn't even diagnose that Xiao Qi'an was poisoned.
For ease of reference, Gu Wu Hui named the poison "Bone-Eating Poison." Little did he know that "Bone-Eating Poison" was not actually bone-eating, but rather "Silence," a top-secret poison kept hidden in the Poison Heart Valley.
Xiao Qi'an was in poor health, and Gigi Lai also fell ill and became bedridden due to the successive blows of poisoning and childbirth.
Gu Wu Hui had no choice but to stay at Xiao Yue Manor to take care of the mother and son, spending most of his time with them every day, inevitably neglecting Wen Yan.
Wen Yan was unwilling to accept this, since Xiao Changfeng had already made a move once and would reappear without a trace. She had a scapegoat, so she poisoned Li Zi again.
They thought it was a foolproof plan, but who knew that, by sheer coincidence, before the bowl of sweet soup could even be served, it was caught by the thirsty Gu Wu Hui and almost drunk.
At that moment, Wen Yan's heart was pounding so hard she almost jumped out of her chest. She didn't care about anything else and spilled the sweet soup.
Her unusual behavior aroused Gu Wu Hui's suspicion.
Neither the weak explanations nor the sophistry could dispel Gu Wuhui's suspicions. He picked up the shards of the porcelain bowl that contained a little sweet soup and said something to Wen Yan.
"If there's nothing wrong with the soup, why can't I drink it?"
If they continue to conceal it, Wen Yan has no doubt that Gu Wu Hui will drink the sweet soup.
She couldn't keep the secret and revealed everything, including her identity. It was a complete recklessness, since she had already been corrupted by jealousy and fear and didn't want to hide it any longer.
Gu Wu Hui couldn't believe that his beloved wife would doubt his feelings for her, and he couldn't believe that his kind and gentle wife would kill Li Zi.
Even if Wen Yan admitted it herself, he refused to believe it. He hugged Wen Yan and asked her again and again whether she was coerced or had no choice.
Looking into Gu Wu Hui's eyes, which were filled with shock and pain, and listening to him make excuses for himself again and again, Wen Yan wondered for the first time if she had done something wrong.
She shouldn't have doubted him, and she shouldn't have gone to such extremes.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Gu Wu Hui originally wanted to take Wen Yan to apologize to Li Zi and her husband, but Wen Yan was already pregnant with Gu Si Lang at that time.
Gu Wu Hui softened. He realized that it was his fault that Wen Yan had gone astray. He hadn't given her enough security, which made her feel insecure. He had neglected her feelings. All the blame was on him. If there was to be retribution, he was willing to take the punishment for her.
However, Gu Wu Hui also had no way to face Wen Yan. He arranged for Wen Yan to stay in a villa, and he never went to see her again until Gu Si Lang was born. He devoted himself to finding an antidote for Xiao Qi An.
Having concealed Wen Yan's actions, Gu Wu Hui was unable to find fault with Xiao Chang Feng. He could only stay at Xiao Yue Manor, guarding against Xiao Chang Feng's further underhanded tactics.
Despite all precautions, it still couldn't be prevented.
That night, Xiao Changjue and Xiao Changyu died, and Xiao Yue Manor suffered heavy losses. Gu Wuhui then realized that because of his selfishness, he had harmed even more people.
Driven by extreme guilt, Gu Wu Hui nearly went mad, desperately searching for an antidote.
But he couldn't find it; he was powerless to help!
He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Qi'an, so young, was unable to walk; he felt nothing but guilt.
Every night, he would dream of the blood-stained scene at Xiaoyue Manor, and of Gigi Lai lying in a pool of blood.
He heard Gigi Lai blaming him, blaming him for knowing everything but saying nothing, blaming him for letting the wolf into the house and ruining her whole family.
She was the person he had loved since he was young, but he had caused her family to be destroyed and her life to end.
He wasn't the executioner, but he was the cause of everything.
Gu Wu Hui was eventually driven mad by his own actions. He slit his own throat with a long sword and died in front of Wen Yan. The sword was originally held to Wen Yan's neck, but in the end, Gu Wu Hui couldn't bring himself to do it.
After Gu Wu Hui died, Wen Yan's mental state deteriorated.
She knew that the Blood Gu could cure Wu Xi's poison, but the Blood Gu was too difficult to cultivate. No saintess had been able to cultivate it in the past hundred years. She was afraid that if she told him, Gu Wu Hui would recklessly try to cultivate the Blood Gu and risk his life. So she could only keep quiet and watch Gu Wu Hui live in endless pain.
But what good did it do to keep it a secret? Gu Wu Hui still died.
From then on, detoxification became Wen Yan's only obsession.
She stubbornly believed that Gu Wu Hui had simply gone on a long trip and would return once the poison was cured.
And so, with an impossible dream in mind, Wenyan lived a life that was half-mad and half-conscious.
When she was lucid, she would desperately refine the blood gu; when she was insane, she would hug Gu Huaizhi and make him swear that he would definitely cure Xiao Qi'an and protect him.
Those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish. Wen Yan harmed others for her own selfish reasons and was destined to meet a bad end. Because she went mad while refining the Blood Gu, her meridians were severed, her internal organs were shattered, and she died bleeding from all seven orifices.
Wen Yan died, a painful and regretful death, but the pain she left Gu Huaizhi could never be erased.
Gu Silang was still young at that time and didn't remember much, so the pain was mostly accumulated on Gu Huaizhi.
The grudges and entanglements of the previous generation have brought too many shackles and hardships to Gu Huaizhi and his younger generation.
Gu Huaizhi lived with a secret, plagued by nightmares.
Xiao Qi'an lived a life burdened by disability, feeling inferior and numb.
*
Because of his parents' mistakes, Gu Huaizhi seems to have been born guilty, indebted to Xiao Qi'an, and destined to live in his shadow for the rest of his life, unable to escape.
Over the years, he stayed by Xiao Qi'an's side, doing whatever he was asked of. No matter how difficult the task, he did it for Xiao Qi'an without batting an eye, because he felt guilty.
Out of this guilt, he would do anything: he could harden his heart and take human blood poison; he could lower himself and win over various forces; he could work day and night to practice his medical skills.
Those forced vows have become a curse, tormenting Gu Huaizhi to no end. He was just a child back then, yet he had to bear all the blame.
Does he really not feel any resentment at all?
Even if he felt guilty, could he really remain calm and composed when looking at Xiao Qi'an's face?
As long as one is human, one will have selfish desires and feel pain, and it is impossible not to feel resentment and bitterness, let alone someone like Gu Huaizhi who has lived in darkness since childhood.
He was more loyal to Xiao Qi'an than anyone else, yet he was also more likely than anyone else to betray Xiao Qi'an.
Such is the nature of human nature.
Chu Yun intended to use this to make them tear off their masks and see each other's true colors.
Only by letting them taste the bitterness of betrayal and suffering can we console the souls of the original owners.
