Gu Miao raised his eyebrows with a bit of confusion and asked his mother: "Mom, why are you copying Buddhist scriptures when you are fine? This is..."
Aunt Liu looked back at Gu Miao, who was standing there in a daze. She smiled awkwardly, and a dark and unclear thing flashed across her eyes...
"Mom told you earlier, as long as mom is still alive, these things are yours and will be yours sooner or later. Why are you in such a hurry? Go back and have a good rest." After Aunt Liu said this, she stood up, gently tugged at Gu Miao's clothes with her hand, and smiled creepily.
Although Gu Miao didn't know what her mother was planning at the moment, she always had a bad feeling in her heart.
It's definitely not a good thing...
Otherwise, why would my mother copy the Ksitigarbha Sutra in the middle of the night?
Late in the night, when everyone was asleep, a torrential downpour came.
Gu Qing sat in front of her mother's bed. She fed the medicine soup into her mother's mouth bit by bit, and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
It was because this rain came at the right time that Liang Ran was able to send the old miracle doctor they brought from outside to the Gu family.
This scene was done without anyone noticing...
only--
"Young Madam, I was just taken to Madam Liu's bedroom by her people. She asked me to put this in the breakfast you and Madam Gu will have tomorrow." Cuiru came back from outside. She was soaked by the rain. She stood at the door, looking blankly in their direction.
The heavy rain kept coming down.
Seeing Cui Ru in such a miserable state, Gu Qing quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
If she didn't get closer, she really couldn't see it clearly...
There were several bruises on Cuiru's arms, as well as marks from being whipped.
The little maidservant, feeling aggrieved, crawled into Gu Qing's arms. "They are even threatening my mother's life. But when I was at home, my mother taught me that one must be kind and live up to one's conscience. The Third Young Master and the Young Madam have treated me well. I absolutely cannot do such a heartless thing."
Gu Qing's mind sank...
She first had Cui Ru taken away to heal her wounds. With Chen Zhizhou's men coming to help her, she could now relax a little and no longer need to be on guard against what Aunt Liu's people might be doing here.
The most difficult thing at the moment is that knowing Madam Liu's next plan is not a big deal...
The most important thing is how to expose her crimes in public!
"I have a good idea. I wonder if the young lady is willing to listen to it." Le Ran's eyes were fixed on Madam Gu who was lying on the bed without blinking.
"Since Concubine Liu is determined to get rid of Madam, why not use her to get Madam out of the house smoothly?"
It's a good suggestion, of course.
but--
This is just the first step.
Gu Qing had already made a plan. She decided to go along with Aunt Liu's plan. This way, she could send her mother away to recuperate, and get rid of the Gu family in a natural way. She no longer had to worry about the evil ambitions of these people.
Secondly, this is the only way to eliminate Aunt Liu and her daughter in one fell swoop.
With unrest in the backyard, how can Gu Yunzhao and Li Xiangsheng carry out their heinous and secret plan?
"I'll have someone watch the back door later. I'll leave my mother to you." Gu Qing had already made her decision. She looked at Liang Ran with a serious look.
She felt relieved to leave her mother to them.
Cui Ru trembled with fear as she handed over the packet of poison with both hands. "Young Madam, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."
At noon tomorrow, a great show will begin.
The sky is gradually getting brighter...
Gu Qing sat in the empty room. She glanced out the window at the yard. Listening to the sound of rain outside, she felt as if something was brewing in her heart, ready to explode...
"This rain comes at the perfect time," she murmured softly.
Suddenly, a little maid standing beside her presented her with a package of something wrapped in brown paper.
Gu Qing came back to her senses and took a quick glance. She smelled that familiar smell. This was—
After opening the brown paper, I found crispy duck and a few steaming pine needle bags inside...
There is also a note.
"I know you're not used to the food at Gu's house, and I don't want you to become skinny and hungry after just a few days at home."
This is Chen Zhizhou's handwriting.
Gu Qing held the note tightly in his palm, as if he could still feel his remaining body temperature.
While we were having breakfast, we heard a commotion in the dining room.
The little maid rushed in at a rapid pace and fell to her knees with a thud, "Master, this is terrible! Madam, she's gone... The eldest daughter has also been poisoned and is lying in bed vomiting blood!"
What?
Gu Yunzhao's hand, which was holding the porcelain bowl, suddenly lost its balance and the bowl fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Aunt Liu and Gu Miao, mother and daughter, looked at each other, each with ulterior motives.
Gu Miao now finally understood why his mother copied Buddhist scriptures last night.
Aunt Liu showed a look of deep fear and trepidation: "What happened? How could she be dead? Have you asked a doctor to come and see her? How is the young lady now? Oh my God, what on earth is going on?"
"Can you ask someone to check where the Madam is now? Where is the eldest daughter?" Gu Yunzhao no longer cared about eating. He hurried to the backyard with the servants.
Only Aunt Liu and her daughter were left in the dining room, staring at each other...
Gu Miao's hand, which was holding the porcelain bowl, couldn't stop shaking. He muttered in a low voice with a guilty conscience, "A person, a person just died like that?"
Aunt Liu glared at her coldly with a look of disappointment. "Why are you so nervous? What did your mother teach you?"
When they followed Gu Yunzhao to the backyard, they did not see Gu's mother.
It is said that the body has been carried to the charity cemetery by the coroner.
Gu Yunzhao was not worried about his mother at the moment. He paced back and forth in front of Gu Qing's bed.
"Go down quickly and find someone to investigate. My daughter was murdered right after she returned home. If this gets out, how can I, Gu Yunzhao, live my life? I must find the best doctor in the world and save the young lady at all costs!"
Gu Yunzhao gave an order.
Concubine Liu glanced at Gu Yunzhao with a guilty look on her face. She held a handkerchief tightly in one hand and cried, "Master, what do you mean by this? How can it be said that Qing'er was murdered as soon as she returned home? Was it some incurable disease or poisoning? Who knows? Everything has to wait for the medical examiner to check before we can make a final decision! Master, those who don't know the truth might think..."
