The voices of the servants' discussions reached Gu Miao's ears and sounded particularly harsh.

Gu Miao clenched one hand into a fist, his nails almost digging into the flesh of his palm. Not only his father, but even these servants in the mansion were optimistic about Gu Qing...

On what basis?

If everyone had the right to choose their own birth, wouldn't she want to be a legitimate daughter?

"You bunch of sluts, don't you want to keep your mouths shut? This is the Gu family, not a street. How dare you gossip behind the master's back and talk about the family affairs of the master? Who gave you the courage?" Gu Miao shouted loudly, her voice echoing in the yard.

The maids turned around one after another and saw Gu Miao standing behind them with bloodshot eyes...

This scene really frightened them. They were all trembling with fear and didn't even dare to breathe.

Gu Miao rushed forward, grabbed the person who was leading the discussion with a rage and slapped her twice, leaving her palms bruised and painful. But she still didn't feel satisfied!

"Sell her to a trafficker. This gossipy woman who doesn't know the rules will eventually become a disaster if she stays in the Gu family—" Gu Miao's eyes flickered over these people. She seemed to have thought of something, and after a short pause, she said, "No, sell them all! Then pick out a few sensible maids to come in."

When the maids heard her order, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Gu Miao stomped on the back of one person's hand and kicked another person in the face: "Now you know you're wrong, what were you doing earlier?"

After a lot of commotion, the news quickly spread throughout the Gu family's several courtyards.

At this moment, Gu Qing was sitting at the head of her mother's bed. She held the bowl of medicine and carefully fed it into her mother's mouth...

She looked at her frail mother with a pale face, and felt a pang of pain in her heart. "Mother, please take your medicine well. I'll ask a few doctors to come over tomorrow. If you don't take your medicine well, how can you get better?"

Gu's mother was unconscious. According to the servants' report to Gu Qing, she had been running a high fever for several days and was coughing up blood...

The servants had tried their best, but it was still difficult to feed the medicine soup into the lady's mouth.

Gu Qing knew that there was something fishy about his mother's serious illness.

Not only that, but because Gu's mother happened to be seriously ill, Aunt Liu naturally found such an excuse, saying that the person Gu Qing had previously found was useless in treating Gu's mother, and drove the person out of the Gu family.

The people who are currently treating Mrs. Gu are all those hired by Aunt Liu.

Thinking of this——

Gu Qing threw the medicine bowl in her hand directly to the ground. She was really confused!

It is just like the saying goes, too much concern leads to confusion!

When she entered the room and saw her mother like this, she only thought about how to feed her mother the medicine quickly, but she never thought that since Concubine Liu could drive out the doctor she found and replace him with her own doctor, it would not be difficult for her to tamper with the medicine.

"Young Madam, this..." Cuiru carefully cleaned up the mess on the ground.

Gu Qing frowned slightly as she looked at the unfamiliar faces in her mother's bedroom. Not only the doctor, but even her mother's personal maids had all been replaced by Aunt Liu.

Now, Cui Ru is the only trustworthy person left by her side.

Not only in the court, but even in the Gu family, things are about to change.

Gu Qing walked out of the door quickly. She sent the servants out to get the famous doctor from the Yizhentang in the capital to come and see her mother...

At first, she was thinking that it would be inconvenient if she tried to get someone in from outside. The situation was urgent, and Yizhentang was an outside clinic after all.

Aunt Liu shouldn't openly obstruct us, right?

In fact, she really underestimated Aunt Liu!

An hour passed and there was no movement outside.

Gu Qing sent Cui Ru out to inquire and found out that the Gu family's servants had not gone out to look for anyone at all!

She ordered people to bring those servants over and scolded them!

"How dare you! My words are like wind on your ears? Can't you see that my wife is seriously ill in bed and I told you to go out and find a doctor? Are you deaf or dumb?" Gu Qing threw the porcelain cup in his hand onto the table with force...

Several servants looked at each other, as if they were really speechless, and knelt on the ground without even a word of explanation.

Gu Qing was furious. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "You are so negligent. If anything happens to Madam, you will lose your heads. Since my words are useless, then you will be punished according to the family rules of the Gu family!"

Suddenly, the wooden door at the entrance creaked and was pushed open by someone...

Concubine Liu walked in quickly, smiling. She clutched her handkerchief tightly, waved it, and then waved to the servants kneeling on the ground, signaling them to leave first. "Qing'er, it's so dry and hot. What's got you so angry? I heard you want to send someone out to find a doctor to treat your mother's illness?"

Isn't it obvious that she's asking questions even though she already knows the answer?

Gu Qing's heart was in turmoil, but her face remained calm. She glared at Concubine Liu and said, "Framing the mistress, Concubine Liu, do you know what the charges would be if this matter was handed over to the Dali Temple?"

"Oh, Qing'er, you've gone too far. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would never dare to do such a thing. You don't know, your mother is in a state of panic and is seriously ill. I'm not without worry. I've looked for all the doctors and clinics in the capital, big and small. Look at you..." Madam Liu said, wiping her eyes pretentiously...

Her acting is so poor that it is really unbearable to watch!

Aunt Liu's words were quite high-sounding, saying that she had invited the old imperial physician from the palace to examine Mother Gu...

Mrs. Gu's body was too delicate to change her medicine. If she were to find another doctor to see her now, it would only make the situation worse.

When Gu Qing saw that everyone in the mansion was replaced by Concubine Liu's people, she already understood everything in her heart!

I'm afraid that no matter how hard I try now, it will be of no avail.

In that case, don't blame her!

Gu Qing snorted coldly, looked at Concubine Liu with contempt, and said quietly, "Thank you very much, Concubine Liu, for taking care of my mother these days. Concubine Liu, please take care of yourself."

"I don't deserve it. Your mother and I are like sisters. We have been in this house for so many years and have a deep relationship. I see your mother lying in bed now. It's true that she is sick and I am in pain!" Aunt Liu stroked her heart with one hand, and her words were hypocritical, but they were true.
