Chapter 65 Anger
Hearing the imperial physician's words, the old lady was also shocked. Her precious granddaughter had only been back for a few days, and so many people couldn't stand her and wanted to harm her. How could she not be angry?
"I'm entrusting Yan'er's poisoning to Physician Hu. Zhao Mama, you should personally escort Physician Hu back."
The old lady's words were a veiled way of telling him to leave. Knowing that he could stay longer if things went smoothly, Physician Hu quickly took his leave and departed.
"Madam, Madam, this servant humbly requests your permission to bring Miss Yingxue here."
As soon as Physician Hu left, before the old lady could even inquire about the origin of the soup, Mingyu had already knelt down.
"Go and summon Gu Yingxue."
Even if Ji Shi no longer believed that Gu Yingxue would harm Gu Shuyan, she had to be suspicious in the face of this situation.
She had previously known that Gu Yingxue had been bringing soup to Gu Shuyan every day, and thought that Gu Yingxue was a polite person. She never expected that Gu Yingxue would have such thoughts.
How could a child I raised have turned out like this?
Seeing that Madam Ji had finally lost her temper, the old lady told her maid to help her sit down.
Before long, Gu Yingxue was brought in. Seeing the calm faces of the old lady and Madam Ji, Gu Yingxue felt extremely pleased.
She had just heard in the Snow Courtyard that Gu Shuyan had fainted and that the doctor they had invited was helpless.
Judging from the state of the two of them, Gu Shuyan is probably in grave danger this time.
If Gu Shuyan were no longer in the Marquis's mansion in the future, Gu Yingxue almost wanted to laugh out loud at the thought of regaining her position as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion.
However, Gu Yingxue still had to pretend to look heartbroken.
"Yingxue greets the old lady and mother. I just heard that my sister fainted. I wonder if she has seen a doctor yet?"
Gu Yingxue's face was full of grief, as if Gu Shuyan were already dead.
Seeing her like this, Ji Shi lost all hope she had previously held.
"You really can't stand to see Shuer doing well, can you?"
As Ji spoke, her face was full of heartache.
"Mother, your daughter doesn't resent seeing her sister doing well."
Gu Yingxue wanted to argue, but before she could finish speaking, Ji shouted, "Kneel down!"
In Gu Yingxue's memory, Madam Ji had never lost her temper since she was a child. Even when she encountered something that made her very angry, she would only be weak and sad and cry.
This was the first time Gu Yingxue had ever seen someone so suddenly angry.
"Mother, what's wrong? What did I do wrong?"
Gu Yingxue had never been afraid of the Ji family before, but this time she felt timid and a fear that came from the bottom of her heart.
Could it be that the Ji family discovered what I had done?
But she was so careful and cautious, and she had given instructions to the other side, so Ji Shi shouldn't have known.
"I'm telling you to kneel down."
This time, Ji's voice was louder, and her expression was much colder than before. Gu Yingxue was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt down.
To Gu Yingxue's shock, Ji Shi turned around and picked up the bowl of ginseng soup.
"You're familiar with this, aren't you?"
The affirmative tone left Gu Yingxue with no room for denial.
“It’s familiar; this is ginseng soup that my daughter sent to my sister.”
Anyway, quite a few people know about this, so she can't deny it even if she wants to. She might as well just admit it outright. Besides, she didn't tamper with the soup, so she's not afraid even if the people from Shuntian Prefecture come.
Gu Yingxue's face remained completely expressionless, showing no sign of remorse. Seeing her daughter, whom she had cherished for so many years, in this state, Madam Ji was heartbroken.
