"Qing'er?" Xu suddenly opened her eyes, but her body was so weak that she couldn't even support her heavy eyelids.
"clear......"
Gu Qing couldn't hear her clearly and asked quickly, "Where's the doctor?! My mother is so sick, how come there is no doctor?"
"Miss, Doctor Zhou, who usually treats Madam, is currently in Madam Liu's room. Miss Second said that Madam Liu recently sprained her ankle and can't walk. No matter how urgent it is, we must follow the principle of first come, first served."
Qiu Huan wiped away her tears and choked.
Hearing this, Gu Qing clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, and his tense face could no longer suppress his anger.
She tucked in the quilt for Xu and spoke in a deep voice, her voice as if she had fallen into an ice cellar: "Where's father?"
"The master recently asked Concubine Liu to take care of all the household affairs because his wife has been in poor health for many years. The maid in the courtyard has already reported to the master about his wife's illness today..."
"What did father say?" Gu Qing's face was even colder than before.
"The master said... Madam's health hadn't been like this for a day, so he didn't say anything else."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gu Yunzhao was clearly on the Liu family's side!
Gu Qing suddenly sneered and said, "Yinghong."
The girl in red suddenly appeared like a light bird, startling the maids and servants in the courtyard. They couldn't help but become more cautious and asked, "Miss, what is this?"
"Yinghong, sword." Gu Qing had just finished speaking when, in the blink of an eye, accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed, Yinghong had already drawn the soft sword from her waist and presented it with both hands.
There was excitement and curiosity in her eyes: "Madam, please be careful."
Although Gu Qing was a weak woman, after she married Chen Zhizhou in her previous life, she also learned some basic swordsmanship from Le Feng in order to guard against people in the capital who would take advantage of his demotion to the northern border to kill Chen's family members.
"All of you come with me." Gu Qing's handsome brows suddenly became sharp, and the coldness and murderous intent emanating from his body shocked people.
At the Dujuan Pavilion, the servants at the gate of Liu's courtyard were all terrified when they saw the eldest lady coming with a sword.
"What are you going to do, Miss?"
"The young lady actually dared to wield a sword at home!"
Inside the room, Gu Miao and Liu, who had heard the noise, looked puzzled. Doctor Zhou, who was sitting stiffly at the table, was also quite embarrassed, his hand holding the tea trembling slightly. "Madam, your foot is indeed not a big deal. I have been practicing medicine for decades, it is impossible that I can't see such a problem."
"I heard that the Madam's headache has come back. That's no small matter. You should just leave her there and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Miao slammed the table with a loud noise. Doctor Zhou's face trembled and he avoided her gaze and lowered his head.
He couldn't afford to offend Liu, but he couldn't afford to delay treating Madam Gu's illness.
A good person like Mrs. Gu cannot be killed by Liu.
Doctor Zhou hesitated for a moment, then resolutely raised his head and stood up, saying, "Madam, please don't go too far."
"Doctor Zhou, if you walk out of this door today, I guarantee that your clinic will not be open until the end of this month!" Liu threatened, admiring her rosy fingers.
Xu won't die, so it's just that she will suffer a little longer.
Outside the house, Gu Qing stood holding a sword. Liu's men stopped him outside the courtyard: "Miss, you're back."
"Call Doctor Zhou out."
The servant bowed repeatedly: "Miss, Doctor Zhou has already left, please don't make things difficult for us."
Even Qiu Huan felt that they were going too far. It was obvious that they wanted to put the lady to death!
"Doctor Zhou! Doctor Zhou!" Qiu Huan was anxious. He stuck his head out, raised his voice and started calling for help.
Liu's men were afraid that something might go wrong, so they tried to cover Qiu Huan's mouth, but Gu Qing stabbed their arms with a sword.
“Ahhhh!”
Bright red blood was oozing out and the man was screaming in pain.
Gu Qing lowered her eyes and looked down at him, without a trace of warmth in her beautiful eyes.
"Get out of here!"
"Whoever dares to block my way will die by this sword today!"
After hearing this, no one dared to stop him and they all left. Seeing this, Ying Hong dodged and kicked the door open: "Who is Doctor Zhou!"
"Yes! Yes!"
Doctor Zhou looked delighted.
The eldest lady was finally saved. He was a serious doctor, and curing illnesses and saving lives was his job. Besides, Madam Gu was kind to others and helped him a lot. If something went wrong with Madam Gu today, he would be uneasy.
Yinghong glared at the rest of the people in the room, then dragged Doctor Zhou out without saying anything, "Let's go save them!"
Seeing this, Gu Miao hurriedly grabbed Doctor Zhou's other arm and said, "Wait!"
"My mother's illness hasn't been cured yet! We have to follow the principle of first come first served! How can you be so unreasonable!"
Qiu Huan was furious, not caring about the master-servant relationship for a moment, and cursed: "Don't you know what you are thinking?!"
"Who is being unreasonable? You just want to kill the lady!"
Gu Miao slapped Qiu Huan in the face, and she looked up at them stubbornly.
Gu Qing was holding a sword with blood still on the blade, and at first glance he looked like a god of death.
Liu and Gu Miao were both a little nervous, and subconsciously let go of their hands and took a few steps back, trying to avoid Gu Qing.
"Take Doctor Zhou to mother."
Qiu Huan led the others away first. Gu Miao, while being wary of Gu Qing, scolded, "You're going too far! Do you think you can bully your concubine just because you're the eldest lady?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a scream was heard.
Gu Qing's sword was against her neck, and the sound was suddenly cut off.
Liu was also terrified. She couldn't even imagine that Gu Qing would dare to commit such a violent act and hurt people in her house!
"Qing'er, aren't you afraid that your father will blame you?" Liu was calmer than Gu Miao.
Gu Qing raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "If father blames me, I will take the blame myself. What does it have to do with you?"
"Liu." She was merciless at this moment. "Don't blame me for not warning you. If you dare to use such despicable means to harm my mother again, I will make you understand what it means to be unable to even hope for death."
Liu's pupils suddenly trembled and sweat broke out all over her body.
She couldn't believe that she would be frightened by Gu Qing.
Gu Miao didn't dare to speak at this moment, but just stared at Gu Qing, hoping that Liu would help her out.
"Gu Qing! You..."
Before Liu could finish her words, Gu Qing gave Yinghong an order. The next moment, with Liu's sharp and desperate scream, she fell to the ground, clutching her ankle tightly.
Gu Miao was horrified: "Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you!"
But she didn't dare to move, not even to help Liu.
Gu Qing tapped her neck with the sword. The cold touch made her feel the approach of death, and Gu Miao's face turned pale instantly.
She looked at Gu Qing with panic, "What are you going to do?"
"Isn't your foot injured? Today, I will help you to make your act more complete, so that when it is revealed, it will not ruin your reputation and make people say that you are malicious and intend to murder the mistress."
