Chapter 166 Deep enough to see the bone
How is Mother?
As soon as Gu Renjie and Gu Yingjie entered the room, they went straight behind the screen.
Upon seeing Gu Shuyan take off her clothes, Gu Yingjie instinctively turned around, while Gu Renjie stared intently at Gu Shuyan's injured shoulder.
"What happened?"
Gu Renjie's tone was icy, like a winter wind, silencing Ji Shi, who was still struggling and wailing.
"Alas, your mother has lost her mind due to the poison."
The old lady sighed with red eyes. Gu Renjie glanced at the woman on the bed upon hearing this. There was still blood on the corner of Ji's mouth, and it was not hard to see that Gu Shuyan's injury was caused by Ji.
He slammed his hand on the table, and a large round sandalwood table fell to the ground, splitting in two.
"elder brother."
"Big brother."
Two different calls rang out simultaneously. Gu Renjie glanced at the two of them before asking Gu Shuyan, "Whose side is Yinxing on?"
In Gu Renjie's view, since Yinxing has already been dealt with, Gu Shuyan must know the identity of the person behind the scenes.
However, Gu Shuyan shook her head, "I originally wanted to use her to catch the person hiding behind the scenes, but I was too angry, so..."
So Gu Shuyan didn't say anything, but Gu Renjie knew what she meant.
"No matter who that person is, I, Gu Renjie, will not let this matter rest."
Although Gu Renjie was aloof and always polite, no one present, including Gu Jin, had ever seen him like this before.
At this moment, he was like a vicious wolf; once he aimed at his target, he would spare no effort to bite off the other person's neck.
When Gu Shuyan returned to the North Courtyard, it was already evening. Gu Renjie had found a bottle of high-quality ointment from somewhere, saying that it would help fade the scars after healing.
In fact, Gu Shuyan didn't care at all whether she would be left with scars or not. As long as Ji Shi could fully recover, what did it matter if she was covered in injuries?
"Please change my dressing!"
After washing up, Gu Shuyan picked out a bottle of medicine from the ones everyone had given her and handed it to Mingyu.
Looking at the deep, bone-revealing wound, Mingyu felt a pang of pain in her heart and said, "It was indeed too easy on Yinxing. We should have found her a doctor back then and let her suffer slowly."
Mingyu uttered terrifying words, yet her hands moved with utmost gentleness.
"When a person dies, the light goes out. No matter how unwilling she is, she has received her just deserts. I just hope my mother can get better soon!"
Gu Shuyan was gasping for breath as she spoke. Although Mingyu's movements were very gentle, how could she not feel pain from such a deep wound?
Thinking of Ji Shi's previous madness, Mingyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
For so many years, the lady has always been a dignified and elegant woman, but now she has been tormented to the point of being neither human nor ghost. It is truly pitiful.
“When Madam wakes up tomorrow and sees Miss’s wound, she will be heartbroken.”
After a long day of turmoil, Madam Ji had finally fallen asleep. It's not hard to imagine how remorseful the lady, who loved her mistress so dearly, would feel upon learning that she had injured her so badly.
"Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow! You should all pack up and go back to rest; you've all had a long day."
Gu Shuyan simply didn't have the strength to think about tomorrow. She had lost a lot of blood today, soaking both of her clothes. In addition, she had been worried about Ji Shi and had stayed up all this time. Gu Shuyan was completely exhausted.
After bandaging the wound, Mingyu helped Gu Shuyan lie down and then quietly slipped out.
