Chapter 164 Breaking Free
Mingyu thought that her young lady must have had a falling out with the Grand Secretary.
But didn't our young lady like the Prime Minister a lot before? Even though it was basically like offering a warm face to a cold backside, our young lady still looked like she was ready to die for him.
On the contrary, today, the Prime Minister was noticeably less cold, and the young lady threw a tantrum instead.
“Since Miss is unhappy, then don’t bother with that damned Prime Minister anymore. In my opinion, Prince Luo is a much better person. He is gentle, polite, and of high status. He is much better than that King Yama.”
Pearl had never liked Yun Yichen, and seeing her young mistress get angry, she hurriedly tried to correct her mistress's opinion.
“Young Master Luo is a good person, but didn’t he also stop our young lady from entering last time? This shows that he doesn’t have that kind of interest in our young lady.”
Mingyu doesn't really like anyone in particular, but since her mistress likes Lord Yun, she naturally has to be on her mistress's side.
"The Grand Secretary doesn't seem to have any feelings for Miss either. Since he doesn't, why not choose the more prestigious Prince Luo?"
“What good is Luo Shizi’s good background? He’s in poor health. How can our young lady marry someone with health problems?”
Both sides had their own reasons, and the two maids argued incessantly. Gu Shuyan was already in a bad mood, so she simply went back to her room first.
As for the maids in the courtyard, they knew that when the big shots fought, the little ones would suffer the consequences, so it was best for them to slip away as soon as possible.
The next day, Ji suffered a second attack of the poison in the courtyard.
Because Gu Shuyan had made arrangements beforehand, when Ji Shi first showed symptoms, Wu Mama had people tie Ji Shi up.
Unfortunately, Wu Mama was too gentle, and the rope binding Ji Shi was easily broken in no time.
When Gu Shuyan arrived, Ji Shi had already scratched her face in unbearable pain.
“Miss, this old servant did not know that Madam had such great strength that she was able to break free from that rope.”
After Gu Shuyan personally led people to tie up Ji Shi again, Wu Mama hurriedly came forward to apologize.
"It's no wonder that Wu's mother didn't expect that once this kind of poison takes effect, the madness and desire in her heart will completely take over her rationality, making her willing to commit self-harm."
Looking at Ji Shi's injured and bleeding face, Gu Shuyan took out a handkerchief and tenderly wiped Ji Shi's face.
However, Madam Ji shook her head and avoided her hand. "Shu'er, you have that kind of medicine, don't you? Yinxing is your maid, you must have some, right? Give it to your mother, just a little bit. Your mother is really in so much pain, please have pity on your mother and help me, okay?"
Ji looked at Gu Shuyan pleadingly, begging her to give her a little bit of that medicine powder; just a little bit would relieve her pain.
But how could Gu Shuyan possibly give it to her? That kind of drug was designed to control people's minds, causing them to slowly die as their personalities drastically changed.
As a daughter, Gu Shuyan couldn't bear to see Ji suffer, but she couldn't bear to watch her waste her life in that way.
"Mother, Shuer knows you're in a lot of pain. Just hang in there, it will pass soon."
Gu Shuyan held Ji Shi in her arms, hoping she could give her some strength.
Because of her daughter's company, Ji Shi did manage to get through the second time. However, on the third time, she actually bit Gu Shuyan and not only that, she also cursed Gu Shuyan as an unfilial daughter.
Seeing her mother's crazy and irrational state, the only thing Gu Shuyan could do was to prevent her from hurting herself.
