Old Huang straightened his back and nodded slightly to Gu Yunzhao.
In fact, he was not only proficient in medicine, but also knew some mysterious arts. When he saw Gu Yunzhao, he felt that this person was a villain, and he unconsciously wanted to stay away from him.
Gu Yunzhao was very thoughtful. The situation was a little awkward. He laughed twice and said, "That's fine. You guys go ahead."
Chen Zhizhou, Gu Qing and Huang Lao went towards Cuihuayuan. Gu Yunzhao stood there with his hands behind his back, his eyes gloomy.
"Master, this doctor is really arrogant. I heard that he is treating the eldest lady at Jiaolan's house."
Gu Yunzhao snorted coldly, "Check his background. If he's just an ordinary country doctor, find a chance to get rid of him."
"Yes, sir."
Gu Yunzhao turned away in anger. Although the farce in the Gu Mansion today seemed to be caused by Dujuan Pavilion, his reputation was actually greatly damaged.
On the other side, Chen Zhizhou and Gu Qing returned to Cuihuayuan.
When the servants and maids in the courtyard heard that the young lady had returned, they all gathered at the door, looking at her eagerly.
Qiu Huan looked anxious, and when she saw her son-in-law was also beside the young lady, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I think the young lady should not have been scolded by the master. I heard that she was also punished in Dujuan Pavilion.
The news that Gu Qing had vented his anger on Cuihuayuan spread throughout the entire Gu Mansion in just a moment. Those who had bullied Cuihuayuan openly or secretly before now put away their vicious thoughts and dared not act rashly.
"Miss! You're back!" Qiu Huan's eyes turned red as he stepped forward and said respectfully.
Gu Qing patted her shoulder, raised his head slightly, and raised his voice, "From today on, you all must serve Madam well and be extremely alert. Never allow this to happen again!"
"Yes! Miss!" The servants and maids in Cuihuayuan echoed respectfully one by one.
After experiencing today's difficulties, they finally saw clearly that the young lady was the only person in this mansion who was good to the lady.
"Miss, son-in-law, please." Qiu Huan led the three of them into the house, wiped the tears from her face, and smiled with relief.
"Miss, the lady has woken up. She has just taken the medicine as you instructed."
Hearing this, Gu Qing took two steps at a time and strode around the screen into the inner room. Chen Zhizhou and Old Huang were standing outside the screen, waiting for the person inside to speak.
As soon as Mr. Huang entered the house, he noticed something was wrong. "Why does this room smell like oleander?"
He murmured, talking to himself.
In the inner room, Gu Qing sat beside Xu, holding her hand tightly, unable to hold back sobs, "Mom, you're awake. Qing'er missed you so much."
In this world, besides Chen Zhizhou, the person she is most worried about is her mother.
But my mother is different from me. She has to consider the reputation of the Xu family.
Taking into account the relationship between her and Gu Yunzhao for so many years, even though she was framed by Liu for many years, she turned a blind eye and maintained the superficial peace of the Gu family.
Xu's eyes trembled slightly, and her weak body coughed twice because of being too excited. Gu Qing immediately tucked the quilt for her with concern, "Mom, don't move, rest well."
"Now that my daughter is back, she will definitely avenge you."
Xu's face showed relief, and she moved her fingers with difficulty to caress the back of Gu Qing's hand: "Mother... Mother understands, Mother understands everything."
"Are you okay at the Chen family? How is your uncle treating you? Have you... have you been bullied?"
The moment Xu spoke, she showed concern.
Gu Qing felt warm and painful in her heart. She leaned over and hugged Xu, sobbing, "Mom, I'm fine. Zhizhou treats me very well, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law also treat me like their own daughter."
"That's...good."
Xu's expression relaxed a little, and she looked at Gu Qing kindly: "Mother, I'm sorry. You are already married, and you still have to make plans for me."
Gu Qing shook her head, "Who said that! Even if I get married, I'm still my mother's daughter!"
As she spoke, she sat up and asked seriously, "Mom, are you willing to continue staying in the Gu Mansion?"
Xu's eyes paused, and she could see the hope in Gu Qing's heart. After a long while, she smiled bitterly and said, "I have been in the Gu family for decades. Mother is not used to me leaving for a while."
Gu Qing's eyes darkened a little.
I shouldn't be so anxious. It will take time to change my mother's mind. Besides, she and Gu Yunzhao still have a relationship as husband and wife. I just need to find a way to make my mother see Gu Yunzhao's true face and completely give up the idea.
Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more. She stood up and invited Mr. Huang in to take her mother's pulse again.
Chen Zhizhou and Mr. Huang entered, bowed and saluted first, then sat down aside.
After Huang Lao finished taking Xu's pulse, he glanced at the prescription that Doctor Zhou had written earlier and added a few strengthening herbs before speaking: "Madam, your body is weak. Besides being weak to begin with, you must not worry too much."
Gu Qing's brows were filled with confusion. How could she have never known that her mother was worried?
Ever since she could remember, her mother had always been cheerful.
Gu Yunzhao brought the concubine back and treated her gently. Even though Liu kept causing trouble for Cuihuayuan, she was tolerant and did not blame her too much.
No matter how much Gu Yunzhao favored Liu, he still treated his mother as the mistress, which was enough to save face.
In all her years in the Gu Mansion, she had never seen her mother cry out of worry.
Xu smiled faintly, her eyes as gentle as ever, as if she had never been sad before. Even though she was poisoned and lying in bed, she still had a pleasant expression. "Thank you, sir. Are you the Mr. Huang that Qing'er often mentioned?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang couldn't help but glance at Gu Qing with a smile and said, "This girl actually mentions me so often."
"Qing'er is by my side thanks to you, the miracle doctor. Qiu Huan..." Mrs. Xu said, pointing to the agarwood cabinet with lotus flowers carved on it, "Go and get my jade ruyi."
"No, no!" Old Huang stopped Qiu Huan, "I was just passing by the Chen residence with Zhizhou. I heard that Madam was not feeling well, so I came to see her."
"If you insist on giving me what I am today, I won't come again."
Xu laughed: "That's fine, Qiu Huan, you can go down first."
"Yes, ma'am."
Seeing that it was not easy for the mother and daughter to meet, Mr. Huang asked to leave first, leaving Chen Zhizhou and Gu Qing alone here.
Seeing Gu Qing's sad face, Chen Zhizhou pulled her to sit next to him and teased her, "Your makeup is all ruined. Miss, you're going to be laughed at by the servants."
Gu Qing laughed, and Xu couldn't help but frown. She could see that Chen Zhizhou really treated Gu Qing well.
"I'm relieved that you two are getting along." Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Mother is fine now. You can go back with Zhizhou later. Don't worry."
"If I stay here all the time, I'm afraid people will gossip about me."
Gu Qing was worried about her mother and frowned, "Let others say what they want. I can only take care of myself."
"You girl." When Gu Qing was stubborn, no one could persuade her.
Xu looked at Chen Zhizhou helplessly.
The latter patted the back of Gu Qing's hand and said, "Mother-in-law is doing this for your own good. You've vented your anger at the Gu family today. Who would dare to mess with you again?"
