Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again
Chapter 323 - Chapter 323 Chapter 323 Reap What You Sow

Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Reap What You Sow Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Reap What You Sow This matter had put Gu Cheng in an impossible position both at home and outside.

He couldn’t help but resent his own mother, who, despite being seventy, still dressed as if she were no more than forty.

There was nothing wrong with that, but as one ages, isn’t it normal to look old?

Hadn’t he aged as well?

His temples were already flecked with white hair.

Such complaints, when heard by Ning Wanru, were like adding fuel to the fire, and in a fit of rage, she hurled the teacup straight at Gu Cheng’s forehead, causing a cut from the shattered glass.

It even required three stitches.

Furious, Gu Cheng didn’t visit for several days, his graceful and noble mother had seemed like a different person this past month, more tempestuous than a shrew.

At the same time, he was also very puzzled.

At this time, Ning Wanru, drawing on her many years of experience, was utterly convinced that she had offended an evil spirit.

Thus, she was determined to see that person, because only she could help her.

This person was called Tian Sanxian.

An old lady in her sixties.

She lived a reclusive life in a quadrangle in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital.

She liked to wear old-fashioned, black clothes with a slanted collar and matching oversized lantern pants.

Her jet-black hair was meticulously coiled behind her head.

At this moment, she was sitting under the grape arbor in the courtyard, leaning on an ebony walking stick.

After a girl served Ning Wanru a cup of clear tea and left, silence returned to the small courtyard.

There was green vegetation everywhere, and grape trellises covered the top of the entire quadrangle.

It was very cool.

But it felt very eerie.

Especially when added to the presence of an old lady with deep-set eyes and a stern complexion.

Ning Wanru seemed not to notice Tian Sanxian’s expression and sneered, “Since when has your place turned into Zhuge Liang’s thatched cottage, requiring me to visit multiple times to see you? It’s been a few years, and yet you’ve adopted quite the air about you.”

Tian Sanxian, looking at Ning Wanru whose face was fierce and seemed to have aged twenty years, said calmly, “You know perfectly well why I don’t see you, why insist on this?”

“I don’t know the reason, and I don’t want to know. Tian Sanxian, just take a good look at what’s wrong with me,” Ning Wanru said as she took out a box from her bag, clicked it open, and pressed down with her hand, “Cure my disease, and this item will be yours…”

Tian Sanxian’s expression, serene all the while, changed dramatically upon seeing the contents of the box. She breathed heavily, and her fingers trembled slightly.

However, this change lasted only in a matter of moments, and she regained her composure shortly afterward.

She slowly lifted her head.

Gazing intently at Ning Wanru, she said after a few breaths, “So this item really is in your possession.”

“Talking about it now is pointless. Tell me, what on earth is wrong with me?”

Tian Sanxian withdrew her gaze from Ning Wanru’s face and stretched out her hand, “Extend your right hand over to me…”

Ning Wanru slowly extended her hand, but when Tian Sanxian touched the tip of Ning Wanru’s finger, it was as if she was pricked by a needle and suddenly withdrew her hand.

Looking at Ning Wanru, she said word by word, “You reap what you sow.”

“What?” Ning Wanru’s expression sharpened, “What do you mean?”

“The cause you planted yourself, naturally you must eat its fruit, whether bitter or sweet, you cannot escape it.”

“Bullshit…” Ning Wanru suddenly burst into rage, holding the item from the box and bellowing, “You better explain this clearly, or you’ll never get this item for the rest of your life!”
