Divine Physician, Overbearing Wife: State Preceptor, Your Wife Has Fled Again

Chapter 682

Zheng Fenghua collapsed to the ground and her body stiffened, her voice caught in her throat.

"If An Cui is banished from Gu Manor, how could she be Nan Xian"s concubine?"

However, as she thought of An Cui not coming back with Gu Yiyi, Zheng Fenghua"s eyes lit up.

As An Cui did not return, she must have met Young Master Nan Xian. An Cui was a pretty and intelligent lady. Nan Xian would definitely fall for her. Hence, even without the shelter of Gu Manor, An Cui could still become Nan Xian"s concubine. Perhaps, she could even be Nan Xian"s princ.i.p.al wife.

"Brother-in-law, you are not young anymore. Not only do you not have a son, but your strength is not really strong either. One day later, someone would replace you and take over Tian Shen Manor." Zheng Fenghua got up with a cold sneer hanging on her lips. 

"What did you just say?" Gu s.h.i.+ exploded with anger.

"I am just telling the truth. Although the Mu family is not as strong as Gu Manor now, Young Master Nan Xian is a great talent. As long as Nan Xian is part of the Mu family, he will definitely replace you one day. Currently, the Mu family accepts the arranged marriage with Gu Manor because of Tian Shen Manor"s power. When Nan Xian surpa.s.ses you, do you think he would still want to marry Yiyi?" Zheng Fenghua was beaming with pride. 

"If you were not my sister-in-law, I would have taken your life for the things that you have just said." Gu s.h.i.+ clenched his fists tightly. 

"Brother-in-law… I am just telling the truth. You are not immortal. You can never protect Yiyi for her whole life. Why don"t you let me and Cui"er continue staying in Gu Manor? When Cui"er wins Young Master Nan Xian"s heart, I will ask Cui"er to take care…" Zheng Fenghua broke into laughter.

Burning with rage, the veins popped out in Gu s.h.i.+"s temples. He knew that Zheng Fenghua was right. He could protect Yiyi for decades or even a hundred years. However, what would happen to Yiyi after he died?

When Gu s.h.i.+ was still alive, he could wipe out all the dangers for his daughter. However, when he died, no one would protect her anymore. Perhaps, she would encounter some unprecedented dangers. 

That was the reason why he had accepted the arranged marriage with the Mu family. He would do all that he could to help the Mu family when he was alive so the Mu family would take care of Yiyi when he died to repay his kindness. 

"Father, don"t listen to her. Unlike you, I don"t cultivate so I can never extend my life. Perhaps, I would die way before you do. However, I would work hard to lose weight so I can cultivate just like you." Gu Yiyi bit into the trotter that she took out from her storage bag as she laughed derisively.

As Gu Yiyi was too overweight, she could hardly cultivate. Moreover, she could never make a breakthrough as all her meridians had been blocked by the fat.

"Nonsense! I will get you some spirit herbs that will prolong your life. Even if you cannot reach immortality through cultivation, you can do so through spirit herbs." Gu s.h.i.+"s face darkened a few shades.


Speaking of spirit herbs, Gu Yiyi recalled the reason why she had returned to Gu Manor.

"Father, give me all the spirit herbs, be it Grade-5 or Grade-6." Gu Yiyi"s eyes lit up. 

"What you want to do with the spirit herbs? I can give you Grade-5 spirit herbs. However, Grade-6…" Gu s.h.i.+ said, startled. 

"I want to lose weight. It"s fine if you can"t give me Grade-6 spirit herbs. Give me the rest of them. I know you have collected plenty of them." 

Hearing this, Gu s.h.i.+ was dumbfounded.
