Chapter 7: The Twins' Full Moon Banquet

Having smoothed out all the details, Gu Lingsha began to lie quietly on the bed, feeling her soul slowly merging with this infant shell.

Although she was only an infant, thanks to the supernatural abilities Gu Lingsha possessed in her previous life, she was actually able to merge completely with this tiny body this time. Moreover, during the process of fusion, there seemed to be another kind of power within the infant that kept pulling her soul into the infant's consciousness.

Could it be? Is this infant truly a demon? In her dazed state, Gu Lingsha finally drifted off to sleep...

Because of what Old Matriarch Gu had said, for the next month, whether they were from the main branch or the collateral branches, everyone scrambled to run to Songfeng Courtyard. As for food, clothing, and daily necessities, they only sent the best over. Consequently, after a month, apart from Gu Lingsha, her foster mother Du Wan and her younger brother Gu Lingyu had both gained over ten pounds.

So much so that on the day of the full-month celebration, when Old Matriarch Gu came over again and saw the two infants dressed up festively on the bed, she walked up, pointed at Gu Lingsha, and said, "What is going on with this girl? Why does she look like a little monkey compared to her brother?"

Gu Lingsha nearly choked on her own breath upon hearing this. You’re the monkey! Your whole family is a bunch of monkeys!

"Replying to the Matriarch, I don't know why, but Lingsha refuses to nurse. I have no choice but to boil some rice porridge for her every day, which is why she has become so thin," Du Wan said, her face turning pale as she retreated to the side the moment she saw the biggest boss of the Gu family flare up.

Refuses to nurse? Hearing this, Old Matriarch Gu leaned over to look at Gu Lingsha, who was staring back with wide eyes.

Gu Lingsha had been slandering her foster mother in her mind for constantly forcing her to nurse. Suddenly seeing a woman lean in so close to examine her, she couldn't help it, and her gaze fell directly onto that sharp, distinct face.

"Remember, the one who killed your mother is Lan Lengshuang!"

For no reason, she suddenly recalled what Nanny Gui had said when she held her at birth and made her look at the female corpse in the coffin.

Instantly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and two cold glints fell naturally onto the face of the woman before her—a face that was aged but had lost none of its sharpness.

Old Matriarch Gu was just about to pick up the child to examine her more closely when she suddenly felt this chill. Abruptly, her heart stirred, and her eyes, flashing with sharp light, looked intensely toward the source of the coldness.

But unfortunately, by the time she looked over, she was met with nothing but a very cute infant face. Moreover, the pair of grape-black eyes on that little face actually revealed a faint smile when they saw her reaching out.

"Eh? This child actually smiled?"

"Indeed, a child only a month old can actually smile?"

More and more people crowded toward Gu Lingsha. Old Matriarch Gu was stunned for a moment, then finally put on a smile again and picked up Gu Lingsha from the bed.

Perhaps she was just getting old; her eyes must have played a trick on her earlier.

Just at that moment, the sound of firecrackers rang out from outside the courtyard. Old Matriarch Gu placed the Gu Lingsha in her arms back onto Du Wan, turned around, and shouted to the people in the room, "Let's go. Today is the full-month celebration of the Gu family's twins. Everyone, there is no need to be reserved today; go to the tables and eat your fill."

"Yes, Matriarch!"

After the commotion, the two infants, Gu Lingsha and Gu Lingyu, were finally carried toward the main hall of the Gu mansion, surrounded by the crowd like stars around the moon.
