Chapter 161 You mean someone wants him dead?
"Mr. Jiang looks fine, but that's just because the poisonous insects haven't been attacked again and have fallen asleep.
When the insect wakes up next time, Mr. Jiang will be in even greater pain than this time." Gu Xiaoxi told Doctor Luo truthfully about Mr. Jiang's condition.
Doctor Luo understood and said, "You mean someone wants him to die, but doesn't want him to die too quickly, so they're torturing him?"
"That's about it. If you really want to kill him, there's no need to use this kind of poison.
It seems this person has a deep grudge against Mr. Jiang, otherwise he wouldn't do this," Gu Xiaoxi speculated.
"This Mr. Jiang has considerable influence in the city. I heard that he has connections in the palace, and the county magistrate has even given him some face. I'm afraid we have to handle him with caution." Doctor Luo reminded Gu Xiaoxi.
There are still people in the palace!
That's different.
I heard that County Magistrate Ma is an honest official. The person in the Jiang family palace is not simple either, as he can give him some face.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter is not over yet. I am just cooperating with Mr. Jiang to find the person who hurt him."
After saying that, she took out the banknote and pushed it in front of Doctor Luo.
"No, no, no, this silver is yours, you don't have to give it to me. I called you here because I really can't cure his illness, but I can't afford to offend this person, so I let the girl try." Doctor Luo said truthfully.
"What if I can't cure it?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
"If that's the case, I can only let Mr. Jiang deal with it." Doctor Luo said with a wry smile.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that Dr. Luo was an honest man, at least he did not choose to pass the blame.
So she took out two fifty-liang gold ingots from her pocket and placed them on the table.
"Let's split it in half. After all, it was you who introduced the patient," she said again.
"No, no, no, half is too much. Besides, you are here to solve a problem for me. It's good enough that I don't give you extra money. How can I take your money?" Doctor Luo shook his head again and again.
Seeing how polite Dr. Luo was, Gu Xiaoxi felt even more embarrassed not to pay.
She took the fifty taels from the table and said, "Mr. Jiang said he would give me double the amount if I could cure him, which is two hundred taels. Fifty taels is not much."
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi was determined to give it, Doctor Luo thought about it carefully and said, "Since you want to give it, then give me 10%. I don't want more than that."
Seeing that Doctor Luo had given up, Gu Xiaoxi took back the fifty taels and exchanged them for two ten-tael notes and placed them on the table.
This time, Doctor Luo accepted the silver.
After having supper, Dr. Luo asked the waiter to send the patient back.
When Gu Xiaoxi returned home, it was almost dawn.
She went to see her second uncle and third uncle who were guarding the house. Her second uncle was sleeping soundly, so she felt at ease and went back to take a nap.
At dawn the next day, Gu Nanming heard the crows calling and started cursing.
"Where did this thing come from so early in the morning? It's so disgusting!"
The voice was a bit loud, and Gu Xiaoxi woke up in a daze. When she heard what her third brother said, she suddenly woke up, put on her clothes and went out.
"Xiaoxi, did the birds' chirping wake you up?" Gu Nanming started cursing again when he saw his sister get up.
"It's okay. I went up the mountain to dig herbs today." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi went to the kitchen, put on her backpack and went out.
Seeing her daughter go out so early, Chai chased her out of the kitchen with two buns.
"Xiaoxi, you have to eat even if you work!" She said and stuffed two buns into her daughter's hands.
whee……
Gu Xiaoxi took the bun and said with a smile, "Thank you, mother. I love you the most."
"You are just sweet-talking. Don't work too hard. There is no end to making money. We are living a good life now." Chai said contentedly.
Um!
Gu Xiaoxi was very happy to see her mother so contented, because she felt that she was luckier than many girls and had never met a greedy man.
After giving the instructions, Chai returned to the kitchen. Preparing breakfast for a whole family is not easy.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that her mother should not be too tired. She came here to let her parents enjoy themselves, not to make her mother become a more tired servant because of her work.
So, she considered whether to buy a servant, so as to reduce her mother's workload.
With an idea in mind, she quickly walked up the mountain.
As soon as I walked into the woods, I saw Ye Lixuan sitting under a tree.
"Why is it so urgent this time? Is there a patient?" Gu Xiaoxi said worriedly.
This time, she was not worried about not receiving the medical fee, but was worried about not being able to make time for it.
"That's not the case. Didn't you ask me to help you investigate something? I've already investigated it for you. Everything you want to know is written on this piece of paper." Ye Lixuan said as he handed the paper to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the content carefully, and began to frown slightly, and slowly, his expression became very surprised.
"Oh my, Zhang's love history can be written into a storybook. I didn't expect that she was a complete slut before she married my second uncle!" After reading the contents of the paper, she was not only surprised, but also very angry.
My second uncle is definitely the one who takes over. No wonder he got her drunk first so that she wouldn't know that she was pregnant.
"That's not right. If my second aunt was already pregnant, then how come my eldest cousin is not her biological son?" she muttered.
Although Ye Lixuan was not a person who liked gossip, this was something Cuihua wanted to investigate. After he asked someone to investigate it, he still read the content carefully.
Hearing Gu Xiaoxi say this, he frowned and said, "It seems that there are still some things that have not been clarified. I will ask my men to investigate further."
"Thank you for your hard work. Come on, I'll grill some meat for you!" Gu Xiaoxi said as he strode ahead.
This matter must be thoroughly investigated before I can confront my second aunt. Without evidence, my stubborn second uncle probably won't believe it.
"Okay!" Ye Lixuan nodded and followed Gu Xiaoxi up the mountain.
Although there was a food disaster this year, there is still joy in the autumn harvest, for example, there are still a lot of wild fruits in the mountains.
They went to another forest and while hunting they unexpectedly found a wild pear tree there. The tree was laden with fruits, and each pear was as big as her two fists.
"This pear tree is growing so well!" She looked up at the big tree.
"I'll pick a few for you." Seeing that she liked the pears, Ye Lixuan jumped up hurriedly, but before he could pick any pears, he fell off.
Ouch……
He cried out in pain, which made Cuihua laugh.
Hahaha……
Gu Xiaoxi really couldn't help herself. She found this guy a bit stupid and pointed at the pear tree and said, "This is a wild pear tree. There are thorns on this tree. You are really fierce!"
Ye Lixuan looked at his hand with a bloody cut on it, stood up and looked at the tree again, and sure enough, he saw a lot of sharp thorns.
Gu Xiaoxi went forward to look at Ye Lixuan's wound. The wound was not big, so she took out the ointment on her body and applied a layer of it on the wound. Then she picked up the leaves next to it and got some grass to wrap it up.
"Cuihua, you are so nice!" Ye Lixuan said affectionately.
