Gu Yaoniang smiled faintly: "After all, it's just mud and pebbles. If we hadn't run out of other options, we shouldn't have mixed it into the porridge. They're already weak; if they eat something unclean, how could they possibly withstand getting sick?"
She was satisfied as long as it was effective.

As the sun began to set, the servant who usually delivered messages between Qingyun County and Shuojing hurried into the main courtyard of the Gu family and found Uncle Zhong, who was guarding outside the hall.
The servant dared not speak loudly, but whispered something in Uncle Zhong's ear. As he spoke, Uncle Zhong's expression grew more and more serious, and he quickly walked inside.

Gu Xingzhi waved his hand helplessly and said, "You two go behind the screen and talk."
After saying that, he muttered under his breath, "They're not made of mud, why can't they even hear a reply? It's making a mountain out of a molehill."
Qiao Niang, who had walked halfway, turned around and glared at him. Gu Xingzhi smiled awkwardly and shut his mouth.
