Chapter 226 Master Chen is Sick



Chen Zhizhou took out something wrapped in a cloth bag from his arms as if by magic.

Cuiru took it with both hands. After opening the cloth bag, a refreshing fragrance came to her nose.

Is this the roast goose from Yipinzhai?

Fortunately, he was able to think of it and carried it with him all the way...

"I, your husband, have been waiting for you for a whole incense stick." Chen Zhizhou said as he slowly unscrewed a goose leg and placed it to the mouth of the person in front of him.

Gu Qing wanted to say something, but her stomach started to growl...

have to!

He guessed it right.

Gu Qing picked up the roast goose and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. As he ate, the goose meat was sizzling with juice!

Fatty but not greasy!

It's no wonder that people in the capital call Chen Zhizhou the number one playboy in the capital. He cares about delicious food and drinks more than anyone else.

but……

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Zhizhou tactfully wiped the oil stains off her mouth with a handkerchief and said slowly, "When we get home later, if you can't finish the food at home, just have a couple of bites as a token of your appreciation."

Gu Qing suddenly raised her head and stared at the man in front of her in a daze: "You don't know how to be anxious at all!"

"Worried?" Chen Zhizhou frowned suspiciously, pretending to be puzzled.

He liked to see Gu Qing talking to him about serious matters with a very confident look on his face.

Wise and intelligent, clever and shrewd...

Any words in the world used to describe women are not an exaggeration when used to describe his wife.

Gu Qing pinched his arm fiercely and said, "You are always running to the Chen family, whether you have something to do or not. You don't know what people in the streets and alleys of Beijing are saying about our Chen family."

"So that's it?" Chen Zhizhou laughed playfully. He picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of tea quietly, saying in a low voice, "No problem."

They had just arrived at the Chen family's house, and before they even entered, they heard the servant come in and report, "Master, something terrible has happened!"

Something big is wrong?

Gu Qing's heart was pounding after hearing this. She glanced anxiously at the person who was coming over and whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with the master. He was fine at noon today, but he was coughing and vomiting blood an hour ago. The lady has already asked two or three doctors to see him!" After the servant said this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

at first……

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Qing's mind. He thought that the emperor was causing trouble for the Chen family, or that something had happened to Pei'er.

She never thought that it was her father-in-law!

"The illness is so serious, have you found out the cause? All the food in the mansion must be thoroughly investigated. Also, all the vegetable vendors who have delivered vegetables to the mansion in the past few days must not be missed. Human life is at stake, this is no small matter!" Gu Qingping concentrated his breath and gave orders to the servants in the mansion in a stern attitude.

Chen Zhizhou said nothing and followed her slowly.

Why is this person so abnormal?

My father-in-law had such a serious problem that he even coughed up blood, which was enough to show that this was not a minor issue.

"Why don't you say anything? My father-in-law is coughing up blood. This is no small matter. If someone had tampered with the food in our mansion..." Gu Qing couldn't help but gasp after he finished speaking.

Poisoning?

A playful smile flashed across Chen Zhizhou's eyes, and he slowly raised his hand to help her put her clothes in order. "Didn't Madam say on the way home that the coming and going of guests in the mansion was really too troublesome? Now that Dad is sick, it's the right time."

It seemed like he didn't say anything, but Gu Qing understood instantly!

"Well, you actually dare to harm your own father. Aren't you afraid that your father-in-law will get up and beat you?" Gu Qing looked at Chen Zhizhou in front of him in surprise.

For a moment, she felt that she knew too little about the man in front of her...

On weekdays, Chen Zhizhou seems to be a playboy and arrogant, and he doesn't care about anything.

But since they got married, her food, clothing, daily life and all her preferences were arranged just like when she was in her parents' home before she got married.

Even the chef in the small kitchen at home specially prepared her favorite dishes.

Although Chen Zhizhou is meticulous, he often...

"Madam, I'm doing this for the good of our family. Besides, please don't talk nonsense. Who saw me poisoning father?" Chen Zhizhou shook the folding fan in his hand with a smile on his face.

This can reasonably explain why Chen Zhizhou hurried out today.

However, what surprised Gu Qing a little was that Chen Zhizhou was completely open with him about this matter.

Although she knew that her father-in-law's life was safe, Chen Zhizhou also told her that within two or three days, the court physician of His Highness would come to visit, and the emperor would certainly not ignore the Chen family, and the imperial physician would come to visit in person.

Father Chen has suffered a lot these days. He has been pretending to be sick to make it look more real. It is not time for him to take the antidote yet.

"Zhou'er has been like this since he was young. He seems to be doing things without any method, but in fact, he is very unconventional. What he dares to do are what others dare not do!" Mrs. Chen covered her face with one hand, and joked with Gu Qing with a helpless look.

Gu Qing has been watching the kitchen every day these days. Even though Chen Zhizhou has repeatedly assured her that the Chen family is absolutely safe, she is still worried.

Didn’t I die in my previous life because I was too stubborn and trusted the people around me too much?

The people who can often deal you a fatal blow are definitely those around you!

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years!

"It's a blessing for the Chen family to marry a young lady like us. The third young master doesn't even have to stay in the kitchen every day to watch over the master making medicine!"

"Who says it's not true? Our young lady is kind-hearted and thoughtful. She personally checks and approves the medicinal herbs given to the master every day before she feels comfortable with them. She treats her own father the same way."

"Watching the Young Master and the Young Madam playing the melody together is truly a delight to the eyes..."

There was a constant burst of laughter in the small kitchen, and the maids were joking and talking among themselves.

Ever since Gu Qing got married into the family, the servants of the Gu family started to gossip more in private.

Gu Qing had just walked in when Cui Ru, who was following closely behind him, came running after him, "Young Madam, something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong now?" As Gu Qing spoke, she used one hand to hold a handkerchief and gently stroked her heart...

The servants of the Chen family really follow their masters, and each of them has the same decisive and resolute personality as Chen Zhizhou.

She had just returned from the Gu family a few days ago, and before she even entered the door, the people downstairs were shouting that something was wrong. They had just been at peace for a few days, and something happened at home again?

Cui Ru looked troubled and stood aside anxiously. She stamped her feet and said, "I heard from the people in the front yard that the old lady is going to Beijing!"
