What happened in Chapter 253?
Gu Yingjie suddenly spoke up, thus preventing Ouyang Bin from feeling embarrassed.
Thinking that the things she brought were still outside, Ouyang Jing quickly nodded and left with her maid.
After Ouyang Jing left, Ouyang Bin looked at Gu Yingjie and said, "I never expected you to become my brother-in-law. It's Jing'er's good fortune to marry you."
Ouyang Bin knew Ouyang Biao best, so he was naturally very clear about the Ouyang family's plans. Seeing that Ouyang Jing had a rosy complexion, he figured she was doing quite well in the Gu family.
"Being able to marry Jing'er is a blessing I earned in my past life. Elder brother, please stop beating around the bush and tell me what's wrong with your body!"
As Gu Yingjie spoke, he sat down in front of Ouyang Bin. Seeing that Gu Yingjie had seen through him, Ouyang Bin no longer hid anything.
"Actually, I only had two drinks that day, which was far from enough to cause me to fall down the stairs. Besides, the railing wasn't low, so why did it break when I leaned on it? Also, I was clearly not in pain when I fainted, but rather as if I was drugged."
"So, that county magistrate is the one with the problem. They deliberately staged this accident to ruin you. Falling down from a restaurant is not enough to break your leg!"
Ouyang Bin naturally understood Gu Yingjie's words. Recalling the situation that day, Ouyang Bin finally said, "I suspect that someone poisoned me, but so much time has passed and no one has found any signs of poisoning in me. On the contrary, my body seems to be inexplicably being hollowed out by something."
Hearing this, Gu Yingjie was not surprised. Judging from Ouyang Bin's weakened state, Gu Yingjie could not believe that it was just a fall.
"The best course of action now is to find out who is behind the poison my brother is using."
As soon as Gu Yingjie finished speaking, Ouyang Bin quickly waved his hand, "Actually, I have someone in mind, but I'm not sure if they've been poisoned, so I can't make a decision yet."
Seeing that he was confident, Gu Yingjie nodded. "Alright, I'll take care of confirming whether it's poison."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother-in-law."
The two exchanged a smile as they talked. At the same time, Ouyang Jing returned from outside, holding a ginseng root in her hand. Ouyang Jing's expression was not very good.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Gu Yingjie took two steps forward and walked up to Ouyang Jing, his face full of concern.
"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered something Shu'er mentioned to me before. I'm afraid Brother Ginseng won't be able to use this for the time being."
"Did Shu'er say that?"
Gu Yingjie couldn't help but wonder, Gu Shuyan is learning everything now, and her family has hired several tutors for her, but none of them seem to know anything about pharmacology!
“Hmm!” Ouyang Jing nodded. “Shu’er said that Li Yingxue used to bring her nourishing soup every day, seemingly for her health, but actually she wanted to make her too weak to handle the nourishment and eventually ruin her health.”
Gu Shuyan told her this in the first place because she wanted her to have another skill to protect herself, and now it seems to be really useful.
If my brother were to eat all this ginseng, wouldn't his body become even weaker?
At this moment, Ouyang Jing was unaware that it would be at the banquet a little later that she would truly understand the great usefulness of this experiment.
After chatting for a while in the room, a maid came to invite them to the front hall. Because Ouyang Bin had difficulty moving around, Ouyang Jing took on the task of pushing him.
In the front hall, Ouyang Bin and his entire family were already waiting inside.
