Chapter 548 Why are you willing to help me?

She never imagined that the truth would be torn out bloodily by a little girl like Gu Xiaoxi.

It’s not that no one knew that she was beaten by her husband, but everyone thought it was just because of the marital discord and the mistress Xie Zhu.

Everyone thinks that "Xie Jing" likes new things and hates old things.

Even their daughters thought so.

But only she herself understood in her heart that it was hatred. Gu Zesheng hated her because she killed Xu Yuqiu.

But how did the girl in front of me judge this from just a few words from her?

"Have you met Gu Zesheng?" Mrs. Xie suddenly asked.

Gu Xiaoxi's eyes flashed with doubt, but he said, "I know much more than you think. Your five daughters are indeed born to you, but your eldest daughter and the next four daughters do not have the same father. What I am more curious about now is what role Yan Tiansuan played among you. Do you want to tell me about it?"

Old Mrs. Xie grabbed the bed sheet with her hands, exerting force unconsciously, as if she didn't want to mention this person.

But when the long needle in Gu Xiaoxi's hand began to pierce her skin, the words that were about to come out of her mouth almost burst out.

"That fortune teller is the one who really wanted to kill Xu Yuqiu. Although I hate Xu Yuqiu, I actually didn't want to do anything to her at first. It was that fortune teller who threatened me. It was him, it was him... If you want to avenge your grandmother, go find that fortune teller..."

Gu Xiaoxi frowned, "Where is that fortune teller?"

Mrs. Xie was suddenly silent. "This...this...I don't know where he is. But he comes to Kyoto every once in a while. I'm really not the worst person. In fact, I suspect that the person who bumped into me was also sent by the fortune teller..."

Gu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and was about to continue questioning when there was a sudden noise at the door of the ward.

Gu Xiaoxi raised her finger and put away the long needle in her hand. She gently stroked the wound on Mrs. Xie's skin, and it healed.

She calmly sat back on the stool beside her, and the person outside the door just came in.

The visitors were Dr. Luo, who was previously in charge of Mrs. Xie's condition, and Mrs. Xie's daughter, Xie Ru.

Behind Xie Ru was a nurse carrying breakfast.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi, Xie Ru's expression changed.

"Why is your name the new doctor for my mom?"

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Old Lady Xie, then stood up and said to Xie Ru, "I just checked your mother's pulse and found something. Come out and tell me."

Mrs. Xie was very nervous and hurriedly called her daughter, "Aju, you don't need to change doctors for me. Dr. Luo is good enough."

Xie Ru said soothingly, "Mom, please eat something first. I'll go talk to Dr. Gu."

Although Dr. Luo is good, he really can't do much for her mother's current condition.

She is a doctor herself, and she knows very well that if her mother's condition continues, she will become paralyzed.

Paralytics are the most difficult to care for.

Her home is in Shanghai, so naturally she doesn't want to stay here to take care of her mother. So if it is possible, she still hopes to cure her mother.

Xie Ru turned around and left the ward, going to the corridor outside to talk to Gu Xiaoxi.

"Do you think my mother can recover to the point where she can take care of herself?" Xie Ru didn't want to beat around the bush with Gu Xiaoxi and asked directly.

Gu Xiaoxi was silent for two seconds before he said, "Do you know that your mother has been taking poison? She is taking poison on her own, a chronic poison."

Xie Ru's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

"Poison? Impossible, impossible. How could my mother take poison?"

"Why not? Do you think I'm joking with you?" Gu Xiaoxi said lightly.

Xie Ru's expression changed again and again. After confirming that Gu Xiaoxi really didn't seem to be joking, her expression became serious.

"Could it be that Xie Zhu poisoned my mother?"

Gu Xiaoxi laughed when he heard her words. "It seems reasonable that the mistress poisoned the wife. But judging from your mother's reaction, it was probably not Xie Zhu who did it. She took the poison on her own initiative and she knew about it."

"How is this possible!" Xie Ru's first reaction was that it was impossible.

There is no one in the world who is so stupid as to take poison even though he knows it is poisonous.

"If you don't mind, I can go back with you to your parents' place and check it out for you. If I can find the poison, I might be able to make an antidote."

"Ah?" Xie Ru was shocked again.

But she quickly responded, "You said you could make an antidote?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "Yes. I am very knowledgeable about extracting toxins and making antidotes."

Xie Ru looked at her uncertainly, "Why...why are you willing to help me?"

You know, she and Gu Xiaoxi became enemies the first time they met. Although they met again later, the atmosphere was not very good.

Now Gu Xiaoxi actually took the initiative to tell her that he was willing to help her mother detoxify?

Gu Xiaoxi said calmly, "I am a doctor. Isn't it my duty to treat patients? Of course, I will help you for another reason. I will tell you the reason after I find the poison. Have you made up your mind? Do you want to leave or not? I am very busy."

Xie Ru was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded, "Come on. I'll take you to my house. I'll go talk to my mom first."

Gu Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at her. "What's there to say? When you said you were going to find poison, she reacted even more excitedly. She might swallow poison again when she got excited. You know, Xie Zhu also committed suicide by taking poison. You should have a lot of poison in your house."

"You..." Xie Ru was very angry, but she couldn't refute what Gu Xiaoxi said.

In the end, she did not return to the ward, but took Gu Xiaoxi directly back to Xie's house.

…

Xie family.

The Xie family's house consists of two two-story small houses, covering a large area and with a large yard.

Xie Ru told Gu Xiaoxi that usually she and her sisters and her mother lived in the building on the right, while her father, Xie Zhu and Xie Wanghui lived in the building on the left.

Just this accommodation arrangement made Gu Xiaoxi frown.

Xie Ru used to think this was inappropriate and even felt ashamed of it, but as time went by, she got used to it and thought it was normal and no longer a big deal.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi's expression, she said awkwardly, "You must have heard about our family situation, right? My parents don't get along, and they haven't lived together for many years."

"Well. Then let's first look for the house where your mother lives."

"Okay." Xie Ru immediately opened the door and took Gu Xiaoxi to her mother's room first.

What surprised Gu Xiaoxi was that Mrs. Xie did not live in the master bedroom of the house, but in a side room with poor lighting. The furniture inside was also dark. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Gu Xiaoxi frowned, "There's a room with better lighting, why doesn't your mother live in that room?"

Xie Ru hesitated for a moment before saying, "My mother initially lived in the room on the second floor with the best lighting, but later she had nightmares for a while and said that she dreamed of ghosts trying to kill her in that house, so she moved downstairs."

"Is there a ghost?" Gu Xiaoxi suddenly became interested.
