Chapter 70 Hating the Whole World
"May I ask what brings you here, Madam?" Gao Huan asked in a gentle tone, seemingly oblivious to the First Madam's embarrassment.
The First Madam was, after all, a person of social standing. Although she had doubts about why her daughter would keep such a person by her side, she was still able to talk and exchange pleasantries as usual.
She said worriedly, "Both of my daughters are sick and their condition has not improved. I heard that she is a famous doctor and I would like to ask her to take a look."
"so."
Gao Huan's expression was subtle. As for Guan Zhiwei's medical skills, well, let's put it this way: he also came to her for treatment. He originally had 100 lives, but now he only has 90 left.
He talked with the First Madam for a long time, but Guan Zhiwei was too busy to finish and never showed up. The First Madam could only get up and say that she would come another day.
He saw the person off and when he returned, he heard that Guan Zhiwei had woken up.
She worked tirelessly for the past few days, and finally finished most of the work. She went back to her room and fell asleep immediately. When she woke up, she immediately called the kitchen to serve her food.
Gao Huan sat at the table and reported, "The First Madam came this morning. I sat with her for a while and just saw her off. It seems she wants you to come back so she can examine the sisters."
Guan Zhiwei glanced at the sky and said, "You're so busy with your affairs, you're no less free than me. Why waste time chatting with her? You'd be better off getting some sleep."
Gao Huan was very good at judging people by their appearance; you couldn't get a good look from him unless you were useful.
“I feel that you treat the First Madam better, so I don’t want to neglect her.”
"No way, I treat everyone the same. I hate men, women, children, cats, dogs, all animals, plants, breathing and non-breathing things, tables, chairs, and benches. I wish the world would end."
"...It seems you're not in a good mood today."
Guan Zhiwei shook her head: "No, I'm very happy today, and I had a good night's sleep."
Gao Huan nodded hesitantly, "Is that so?"
He asked tentatively, "Don't you have anyone you like?"
Guan Zhiwei thought for a moment, "I love my mom, not like the first wife's mom, but my mom. I love her very much, which is why I hate her sometimes, but I love her. Sometimes I can even understand her, you understand?"
I understand, he must be crazy.
Gao Huan smiled and said, "Then next time the First Madam comes, will you see her? I think she's not in good condition; she seems a bit listless."
Guan Zhiwei took a sip of soup. "I'll go back and take a look. She's looking for me because she wants to have a fight with me. I hurt her beloved daughters."
Gao Huan made up his mind.
She treated her mother and father differently.
She both loved and hated her mother. She would ridicule her, sneer at her, and analyze her inner thoughts. Her mother could always touch her most sensitive nerves. When she hated her intensely, she would think, "My mother and I will never be the same." Then, at some point, she would be startled to realize that she and her mother were so alike.
It's much simpler with my father; I just ignore him—I don't think he exists.
She is unmoved and completely unaffected if someone insults her father.
If someone insults her mother, she will react like a hungry wolf.
Sui Xing is the best example; the most tangible reason for his death was that he cursed his mother.
He decided to be more polite to the First Madam next time.
Guan Zhiwei took some time to go home because the Guan family's taxes hadn't been collected yet.
The First Madam said that her two daughters were very ill. She first went to Guan Liuliu, whose condition was less serious, and told her that the secret of her medical knowledge should not be leaked, so she chased everyone away.
There were only the two of them left in the room, and she stared at Guan Liuliu expressionlessly.
Guan Liuliu was able to keep her composure at first, but then sweat started to appear on her forehead, and she couldn't help but shrink deeper into the blankets.
Guan Zhiwei sat on the edge of the bed and casually said, "If you shrink under the covers, it will be convenient for me. I can just hold the covers down and smother you to death."
Guan Liuliu slowly slid out from under the covers.
“Jiang Shuzheng is still alive. I want to release him so that you two can get married.”
"!!!" Guan Liuliu sat up abruptly.
Guan Zhiwei looked at her and smiled: "I don't know what's so good about this man, but if you like him, then it's up to you."
“If you don’t want him, then I will. He comes from a high-ranking family, has a good family background, is well-educated, knows proper etiquette, is handsome, tall, and devoted to me. We are also childhood sweethearts.” Guan Liuliu said earnestly, “Only by marrying someone like him can I elevate my status.”
Guan Zhiwei pondered for a moment without reaching a conclusion. "I don't quite understand your thoughts, but why should people need to understand each other?"
Guan Liuliu asked cautiously, "What are your conditions?"
“You have to shut Jiang Shuzheng up and not say that I kidnapped him. If he really wants to talk, say that he was almost killed by Zhi Junyuan and that I saved him.”
This is a kind of obedience test. If he shuts up, it means that he can do more for Guan Zhiwei.
"OK."
After Guan Liuliu finished speaking, she made up her mind and said, "You should leave quickly. Father has gathered the Guan family clan and invited many prominent families. He wants to sever ties with you in front of them, make you isolated and abandoned by everyone, and appease their anger."
Guan Zhiwei was taken aback. "We haven't broken up yet? Didn't he say that at the last banquet?"
"Last time it was just talk, but this time it's for real. If I'm kicked out of the house, then we'll really have no relationship at all."
"Then wouldn't it be right for me to kill him?"
Guan Liuliu was momentarily speechless.
Guan Zhiwei stood up. "I'm leaving. Mother still wants me to check on my eldest sister. After I leave, I'll tell them you're cured. Don't pretend to be sick anymore. I'll send someone to pick you up in a carriage in a couple of days. You should get things done as soon as possible."
Guan Liuliu thought for a moment and then explained on behalf of her mother, "Your mother didn't know that your father was going to do this, which is why she called you back. If you want to leave now, your mother will only see you off."
"Where am I going? I'm back to collect taxes. We both have our own goals; it's a two-way street."
Due to the complicated relationships, her subordinates couldn't figure out her attitude and dared not handle the matter. Even Gao Huan wouldn't take on this hot potato, so she had to handle it herself.
I was still figuring out how to make things go more smoothly.
That's good now. Lord Guan has his own ideas, so all she has to do is wait and see.
It seems that not all the people outside have been gathered yet, as no one has come looking for Guan Zhiwei.
She leisurely went to Guan Nannan's place, and when she was at the door, she heard vicious curses, which were incoherent and nonsensical.
The First Madam said worriedly, "Nannan watched Sui Ying die right in front of her. She was terrified and went a little crazy. Even if Sui Ying had a thousand or ten thousand faults, you shouldn't have killed him in front of Nannan."
"I actually wanted to kill Guan Nannan and Sui Ying together at the time."
"!!!" The First Madam looked shocked.
Guan Zhiwei smiled at her: "Don't you think it's too good that I only killed Sui Ying now?"
