Gu Jiu followed Doctor Xu to the study in the backyard.
The servant was ordered to serve tea.
When the tea was served, Doctor Xu waved his hand and said to the servant, "Guard the door and don't let anyone in."
The servant was puzzled for a moment, then bowed and left.
Without waiting for Doctor Xu to call, Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Good tea. Wushan Rain Tea, or this year's new tea."
Doctor Xu smiled and said, "Miss Gu is indeed a lady from a noble family. She tasted it right away."
Gu Jiu put down the teacup and stared at the other person with a half-smile, "How can I be considered a noble lady? I can't drink the newly released Wushan Yuqian tea in the mansion.
I heard this tea is not cheap, but Doctor Xu actually used Wushan Rain Tea to greet guests. It was unexpected, but also expected.
Doctor Xu was stunned for a moment, then gave an awkward smile. Was this really someone with ill intentions?
"Miss Gu is in disguise. Do Lord and Madam Gu know about this?"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Doctor Xu has a good relationship with my father?"
Doctor Xu laughed heartily, "It is only because Lord Gu has shown me such respect that I can often come in and out of the Governor's Mansion and discuss Confucian classics and doctrines with him."
Gu Jiu laughed. Before she could tell him why she came, Doctor Xu threatened her.
Could it be that Doctor Xu thought that if he told his father that she had disguised herself and secretly left the house, he would back down and leave in disgrace?
Gu Jiu sneered, thinking that Doctor Xu underestimated her.
"What are you laughing at, Miss Gu?"
Gu Jiu's lips curled up slightly, "I laugh at your stupidity! You are about to die, but you don't even realize it."
Doctor Xu's face changed drastically, and he was furious. "Miss Gu, please be careful with your words. As a lady of a noble family, you disguised yourself and sneaked out of the house. Where do you put Master Gu's reputation?
If this matter gets out, I want to see how Miss Gu will face people."
Gu Jiu's eyebrows curved and he smiled, "If Lord Gu knew that the doctor he trusted was secretly colluding with others and plotting to harm his own daughter, do you think Lord Gu would kill this doctor?"
"You are slandering me." Doctor Xu scolded angrily.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and sneered. Then he took out a prescription from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Doctor Xu must be very familiar with this prescription."
Doctor Xu took a closer look and was shocked.
Licorice, Gelsemium elegans, Euonymus japonicus, Anemarrhena asphodeloides... This is a poisonous prescription.
Doctor Xu yelled, "This prescription is fake. I have never written this prescription."
"Who would believe you if you said the prescription was fake?"
Doctor Xu was horrified and reached out to grab the prescription.
Gu Jiu was quick to take back the prescription.
Gu Ting stepped forward and said, "Doctor Xu, what do you want to do? Steal something? Sit down right now. Otherwise, my fists won't recognize anyone."
After saying that, Gu Ting gestured with his fist and stared at Doctor Xu with a domineering expression.
Doctor Xu was furious and stared at Gu Jiu. "The prescription is fake, Miss Gu, you want to harm me."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's the same for me. Doctor Xu almost killed me when he treated me. Now I'm just returning the favor."
"Nonsense. There was absolutely no problem with the prescription I wrote for Miss Gu."
"Who can prove it?" Gu Jiu looked at Doctor Xu with a half-smile, "You said the prescription is fine, what proof do you have?
The fact is, under your treatment, my minor cold lasted for half a year and did not get better. Instead, it became more and more serious.
In this case, who would believe you if you say your prescription is fine?
On the contrary, I hold the evidence of your murder in my hands. Nothing is more convincing than the prescription written by Dr. Xu himself."
"The prescription in your hand is not the one I wrote. It's fake."
Doctor Xu was furious.
Gu Jiu took out the prescription with a calm expression and spread it on the table. "You said the prescription was fake, but it's clearly your handwriting, with your signature and seal. If we go to court, will the official believe you or me?"
Doctor Xu pointed at Gu Jiu and said, "You, how did you do it? You imitated my handwriting and even stole my seal."
Gu Jiu smiled faintly, "Doctor Xu, you misunderstood. No one stole your seal, and your seal is still on you. If you don't believe me, check it out."
Doctor Xu hurriedly checked and found that the seal was still on his body.
What's going on.
Doctor Xu stared at Gu Jiu in disbelief.
Gu Jiu smiled slightly, a harmless smile.
In her previous life, she couldn't travel due to congenital heart disease, so to pass the time, she developed one or two hobbies.
Unexpectedly, she fell in love with carving radish seals.
I did it for fun and to kill time, but I ended up getting sucked into it.
She always thought it was just a hobby to kill time in her spare time, but she didn't expect that this hobby would help her a lot now.
He took out a prescription written by Doctor Xu in the past, carefully imitated the handwriting, and then pressed it with a radish stamp, and a formal prescription came out.
Doctor Xu wants to deny and say that the prescription was not written by him. Will anyone believe him?
Doctor Xu accused her of forging the prescription.
But who would believe that a fourteen-year-old girl could not only imitate handwriting but also forge seals.
No one will believe it.
At this point, Doctor Xu was speechless.
Doctor Xu broke out in a cold sweat, "You want to harm me."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "If Doctor Xu has no intention of harming others, how could others harm you?"
"I didn't mean to do that, and there was nothing wrong with the medicine I prescribed."
Gu Jiu nodded and said, "There is indeed nothing wrong with your prescription, but it is not the right medicine for my condition and cannot cure it.
Coupled with the maids' laziness, my condition has become increasingly serious. If I die, I guess no one will be surprised.
I could only sigh and say, "I have a bad fate. But this time, I was lucky enough to meet Doctor Chen. Doctor Chen's miraculous hands brought me back to life."
Doctor Xu stared at Gu Jiu intently, "What do you want, Miss Gu?"
Gu Jiu smiled gently and pushed the prescription on the table forward. "Doctor Xu, don't be nervous. I only have one request. Please buy this prescription."
hehe!
She describes threats and blackmail in such a refreshing and refined way, worthy of being a lady from a noble family.
Doctor Xu said, "Please name your price, Miss Gu."
Gu Jiu looked around and said, "Looking at the decoration of this room, Doctor Xu should be well-off. Why don't you pay 1,500 taels and buy this prescription?"
Gu Ting paused for breath.
Su Zheng's palms were sweating. Cousin Xiaojiu was really, really asking for too much. But it felt so good.
Doctor Xu shouted angrily, "Impossible. One thousand five hundred taels, you are clearly robbing me."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, then put away the prescription. "If Doctor Xu doesn't want to buy it, there's no need to say anything bad. I'll go to the government office and beat the drum to complain, and hand the prescription over to the officials as evidence."
"How dare you? Lord Gu is very careful about his reputation. Miss Gu has embarrassed Lord Gu. Lord Gu will not let you off easily."
Gu Jiu's eyebrows moved and he smiled, "You are right, my father will definitely punish me. How will he punish me?"
Just punish me by confining myself to a Buddhist temple for half a year or a year to reflect on my mistakes. After things have settled down, I will still be myself, without any harm done.
And you, Doctor Xu, as a butcher and the mastermind behind the assassination of the governor's daughter, what will be your fate?
Will you die in prison or on the road to exile? Can you still keep the family business you have worked so hard to build for so many years?"
Doctor Xu was sweating profusely and stared at Gu Jiu intently.
What a vicious little girl.
He was indeed wrong.
Gu Jiu folded the prescription and put it in his arms. "As a doctor, you should have realized this the moment you harmed me."
"This is not what I intended." Doctor Xu said with difficulty.
Gu Jiu smiled knowingly and said, "Are you trying to say that you killed me because you were following orders? It would be fine if you didn't say it, but if you tell the name of the person behind this, you will die even faster!"
The words "die faster" made Doctor Xu shudder.
