Chapter 36 They Begged Me to Fight
Gu Ruanci didn't want to say too much, and she was not polite at all to Ye Keguan, her irresponsible grandfather.
"Why, are you feeling guilty too? Don't worry, if it's found out that your step-wife's children did it, you won't have any face in front of me."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Ye Lanxin and said, "Now that you know about my mother's death, you can rest assured. Believe that my mother is truly determined to help you two bitches get together, right? If I were you, I would go back and quickly arrange the marriage for Prince Zhou. If the old lady really passes away one day, he will have to observe mourning."
There is really no way to refute Gu Ruanci's words.
"Father, Mother, let's go back. The Taoist priests are here and they won't let irrelevant people break into my mother's funeral hall."
Gu Ruanci was too lazy to pay attention to these people and chose to leave.
"Wait a minute, you beat up your third brother and little sister, and you want to just walk away like this?"
Zhou Yuzhi jumped out at this time.
Gu Ruanci looked at him with disdain and said, "Second Young Master, are you dissatisfied that I didn't hit you? Otherwise, why don't you let Lord Zhou die once and then I'll talk nonsense in front of his spirit. If you can hold back and not hit me, I'll apologize to you."
"you--"
Zhou Yuzhi was speechless. Looking at Gu Congyun who had a sullen face and was ready to attack at any time behind Gu Ruanci, he was helpless.
"Yuzhi, stop talking."
Zhou Zhili admitted that what happened today was planned by Gu Ruanci from the very beginning.
Since the day she came back, she had never thought about coexisting peacefully with the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
Watching the Gu family leave, Zhou Zhili sorted out his thoughts and wondered what to do about his mother's illness.
If it really doesn't work, I can only go to Doctor Zang again.
He asked Taoist Qing Tuan for two cups of water, rinsed his children's mouths with them, and then took the Zhou family down the mountain.
Sure enough, this matter quickly spread throughout Dizhou City.
Only then did the people know that Ye Hesheng, the extraordinary woman who had dared to resist, had passed away and had even been assassinated. No one could guarantee whether the assassin was sent by the Jing'an Marquis Mansion or the Yunyang Marquis Mansion.
"Sister, I heard that you beat up Zhou Yuqi and Zhou Qinzhu. You should have asked us to go over and support you today..."
Gu Yuxuan felt regretful when he thought about missing such an exciting scene.
"It wasn't originally planned. They asked me to fight..."
Gu Ruanci's words made Gu Congyun feel deeply relieved.
The behavior of those two brats at that time was just asking for a beating.
Gu Yuting stopped Gu Yuxuan who was about to ask more questions: "The Zhou family is completely helpless with Aunt Ye. They will definitely think of other ways."
"I hope that old man can hold on until they come up with a solution..."
Gu Ruanci was calm. She had already practiced all the tricks of the Zhou family in her mind.
On the second day, there was no news from the Zhou family, but instead people from the government came to their door.
They were not angry about the dispute at Xuan Di Temple yesterday, but because the court rewarded Gu Ruanci for catching a spy.
When entering the palace, the Emperor and the Empress did not give it to me directly, but wanted to make this honor known to everyone.
From beginning to end, no one in the government mentioned the matter of Xuan Di Temple.
After receiving the reward, Gu Ruanci left some things that could be used by his daughter's family, and gave the rest to all family members.
Although Gu Yutang was not at home, Gu Ruanci specially left a copy for him to keep.
On the third day, the old lady of the Zhou family opened her eyes. Although she was unable to get up, she finally regained consciousness.
The Zhou family, who had not yet found a way to completely solve the problem, sincerely invited Zang Jizhi to come over and see the old lady.
This time, their attitude was more respectful, and they hinted that if there were other ways to find Xiao Yixian, they must let them know.
"My Lord, I really can't handle Junior Sister's temper. Furthermore, our sect has its rules. Even the Emperor hasn't pressed me on these matters, so I'm truly powerless. It took a tremendous amount of effort to get her here before. It just so happened that she was willing to come down the mountain just because she returned from her travels with Master..."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili felt depressed.
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Zang Jizhi's rejection without any room for negotiation still made him uncomfortable.
After the old lady regained consciousness, they didn't dare to say too much. They could only tell her that the Little Medical Fairy was busy with other things and would not be back in a few days.
"Could you please, Imperial Physician Zang, pass on a message to Little Medical Fairy. No matter what we did wrong back then, my mother is innocent. She's already so old, and I really can't bear to see her go through such torture. If there's anything I can do to make Little Medical Fairy love you and change her mind, please let her speak up."
After Zhou Zhili finished speaking, he looked at Doctor Zang sincerely.
Imperial Physician Zang knew that the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion could not die now, because the Crown Prince Zhou Yuxiu had just been married, and if the old lady died, it would have a great impact on his future.
"I will do my best, but I cannot guarantee whether it will succeed."
He once again refused the generous gift that Zhou Zhili pushed over to him and prepared to leave.
As a result, the servant who served Zhou Yuqi ran in hurriedly, sweating profusely.
"My Lord, my Lord, it's bad. The Third Young Master said he was dying of pain..."
Zhou Zhili felt dizzy. What was going on in this family? Why were accidents happening one after another?
Doctor Zang, who was originally about to leave, had to stay and follow the servants.
Zhou Yuqi fell ill in front of the old lady.
Originally, when the old lady woke up, Zhou Yuqi wanted to stay by her bedside and have a good talk with her, but he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. Before he could decide whether to endure it, the pain began to intensify until his entire forehead was covered with sweat. He could no longer bear it and rolled on the ground in front of the old lady.
The old lady was so distressed that she burst into tears and kept calling out, but she was unable to help because she could not move.
Zhou Yuzhi had several people hold him down and give him an acupuncture urgently, which barely relieved his pain. However, he didn't dare to move at all. The slightest movement would make the pain spread again.
When Doctor Zang rushed back, Zhou Yuqi was already soaked.
"Doctor Zang, please save my grandson..." Zhou Yuqi's appearance made the old lady heartbroken.
After carefully examining the patient's pulse, Imperial Physician Zang said solemnly, "Intestinal colic..."
In fact, he knew in his heart that this was the poison given by his junior sister, which was enough to make Zhou Yuqi suffer for a whole day and night, comparable to the pain of a woman giving birth.
