Mu Qianchen's eyes were calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, but one could still feel a surge of hostility slowly emanating from him...
He held the white jade teacup, thinking of Gu Qingyue's life-saving grace when he was a child, and deeply resisted the urge to smash the teacup on her head.
At this time, Qianli had already come in with a food box. He placed the food box on the table, rubbed his nose and said, "Master..."
Qianli glanced at Gu Qingyue and wondered why this woman didn't leave yet?
Gu Qingyue sensed Qianli's disdain, and she stood up and said softly, "Since Master Mu is busy, I will take my leave first."
Her goal had been achieved, and she had no reason to stay any longer.
Before leaving, Gu Qingyue secretly glanced at Mu Qianchen.
This man is breathtakingly beautiful even from the side.
She squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly and lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Her personal maid Linlang whispered something in her ear, and she left without hesitation.
Seeing that Gu Qingyue finally left, Qianli's tense face finally showed a smile.
"Master, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake that Miss Gu sent you."
"I'll open it for you."
The fragrance of the mooncake was so pleasant that it aroused the appetite in his stomach. After opening it, Qianli couldn't wait to take a piece and started eating it with relish.
Mu Qianchen glared at him fiercely: "Why don't I choke you to death?"
Qianli chuckled: "My life is tough!"
As he said that, he reached out and took another piece, then ran away.
This mooncake is really delicious. I don’t know what Miss Gu put in it. He has never eaten such a delicious mooncake.
Mu Qianchen looked at the delicate and small mooncake, which was shaped like a flower. His thin lips slowly curled up, and he couldn't help but take a piece and put it in his mouth.
The taste was something he had never tasted before. The more Mu Qianchen ate, the more he wanted to eat. He couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.
After a while, he had finished eating the top layer of the food box. When he ate the second layer, he felt that the taste of the mooncake had changed, so he ate one piece and stopped.
As for what Gu Qingyue just said...
Of course he couldn't just listen to her one-sided words, he had to go and ask in person.
Mu Qianchen walked into the house and changed his clothes. He had just asked Qianli to prepare the carriage when he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen.
When Qianli came back from preparing the carriage, he saw Mu Qianchen's forehead covered with cold sweat, one hand covering his stomach, and he looked like he was in unbearable pain. He asked hurriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"stomach ache."
Qianli frowned. The master has always been in good physical condition, so why did he suddenly have unbearable abdominal pain?
"Please lie down on the bed for a while. I will go and call the old man."
Qianli supported Mu Qianchen and let Mu Qianchen lie on the bed. He ran out like a madman and came back in a short while with Doctor Mu.
"Chen'er?" Doctor Mu felt heartbroken when he saw his grandson in so much pain.
"Don't worry, I won't die," he said.
Many people wanted him dead, but he always stopped because of his toughness, and this time was no exception.
"Don't talk for now." Doctor Mu first gave Mu Qianchen a silver needle to relieve the pain, and then took Mu Qianchen's pulse.
"Old Master, what happened to the master?" Qianli couldn't help but ask.
After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "Nothing serious, just something poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
Qianli was deeply puzzled. "Master has been staying in the yard the whole time, how could he be poisoned?"
There won't be any problems inside the Mu Mansion, could it be...
Thinking of this possibility, Qianli shook his head. He also ate the mooncake, but he was fine.
Doctor Mu wrote a prescription and asked the medicine boy to prepare the medicine and boil it according to the prescription.
He also had the same question as Qianli: "Chen'er, what did you eat just now?"
Mu Qianchen frowned, thinking of the mooncakes in the food box...
Could it be her?
So what Gu Qingyue said today was true. She regretted leaving the Lu Mansion and wanted to go back?
In order to distance herself from him, she murdered him?
Thinking of this, Mu Qianchen's face darkened. After a long while, he said, "There's too much food today, and I can't remember it all at once."
Doctor Mu: "Okay, be careful with what you eat next time."
"Grandson knows."
Doctor Mu went out with the medicine box. As soon as he left, Mu Qianchen looked at Qianli and asked, "Did she give you the food box personally?"
Qianli was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She knew who Mu Qianchen was referring to, but...
"She did give me the lunch box herself, but why did my subordinate eat the mooncake and nothing happened?"
He didn't believe that Miss Gu would do something like poisoning her master.
She had no reason.
"The first layer of mooncake is fine, it's the second layer that's poisonous."
"ah?"
Qianli was in disbelief. He hurriedly ran outside to bring in the remaining mooncakes, and then found a silver needle to test the poison one by one.
"The remaining mooncakes are indeed poisonous."
Qianli was thrown to the ground as if struck by lightning. He looked at Mu Qianchen blankly: "Master, I was wrong."
He swallowed his saliva, his eyes were cold: "I will go find Miss Gu now."
He wanted to ask Miss Gu if she had any heart and why she poisoned her master?
"return!"
Mu Qianchen shouted coldly, "Don't make a sound yet. Go check who tampered with the food box first."
Qianli understood instantly: "I'll go right away."
On the other side, Gu Yunran had already returned to the farm outside Shengjing.
