Chapter 78 She Only Has Three Days
It was almost evening when Lu Hanyue left Gu's house.
She had a lot of fun at Gu's house today. If Lu Enyou hadn't come to pick her up, she would even want to stay at Gu's house.
After Lu Enyou said hello to the Gu family, he took her away.
Before leaving, Lu Hanyue was reluctant to leave: "Ruanci, I'll come to see you when I'm free in a few days..."
"good……"
Gu Ruanci naturally did not refuse. Lu Hanyue's personality was much better than Lu Wenxue's.
After seeing off the second princess, the Gu family sat in the front hall and had a quick chat.
"I saw that old woman from the Zhou family today. She's really getting better. She looks so energetic... I don't know what method Zhou Yuzhi used. Is that nine-needle revival needle really that magical?"
Gu Congyun's last question was directed at Gu Ruanci.
"Of course not. She could have been saved, but now she is completely gone. And it was her own grandson who sent her to her doom."
When Gu Ruanci spoke, there was no sympathy or regret in her expression.
"So how did they do it?" Zhuang Hefeng also asked.
"Zhou Yuzhi discovered a medicine that could restore the energy of the seriously ill for a few days, allowing them to deal with some pressing issues before passing away."
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, the Gu family was stunned.
"Sister, how do you know?" Gu Yuting asked.
Gu Ruanci's expression relaxed. "I developed it... When I was traveling, I saw some people who were seriously ill, some even confused. They suffered, their children suffered, and there was even a possibility that after their death, their families would be in turmoil because they hadn't arranged their funeral affairs. So I developed this medicine to help alleviate their suffering."
"Your original intention was good, but when it fell into Zhou Yuzhi's hands, he used it to deceive people." Gu Congyun sighed.
He felt that what Zhou Yuzhi developed using his daughter was a blasphemy.
"It doesn't matter. After all, it's the Zhou family themselves who are being deceived. In three days, that evil old lady will die in agony."
Gu Ruanci's words made Gu Yuting question again: "Didn't my sister just say that this medicine can relieve pain?"
"Well, originally, it was. But when Zhou Yuzhi tried every possible means to get this medicine, I added something to it beforehand. In three days, she will be full of energy and like a normal person. After three days, she will be tortured to death by the pain of the carbuncle."
The Gu family was silent, and Gu Yuxuan even frowned.
The pain of carbuncle is the most painful of all diseases. Every bone in the body feels like it is being torn out of the heart.
"We don't care whether she lives or dies. Will this alert the Zhou family and make them discover your identity?" Gu Yuting asked with concern.
Gu Ruanci shook her head: "No, after all, I'm not ready to let them know yet."
Zhuang Hefeng was silent for a long moment before saying, "She deserves all this. Back then, your mother experienced separation from her children time and time again. She had her son brought to her yard right after he was born, and she never let you get involved in anything. How many years did your mother suffer in such pain? Her suffering lasted less than a day, and she finally died, completely relieved. It was truly a good thing for her."
Gu Congyun knew that in the eyes of his wife, even if the Zhou family members were tortured to death, they would not be able to get back her best friend.
"Fortunately, when Ruanci went down the mountain, the old lady was still alive. If she had really died quietly of illness, Ruanci couldn't dig out her coffin and let her die again."
Zhuang Hefeng thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he didn't feel so unwilling anymore.
From the beginning to the end, no one pleaded for Madam Zhang, nor did anyone think that Gu Ruanci's methods were cruel, and no one said that since Madam Zhang was going to die anyway, they should just give her a quick death.
"In the next two days, the Zhou family will definitely continue to find ways to build momentum and let the Little Medical Fairy notice them... After all, they don't have much time left. They should first confirm their identities and leave the rest to the Little Medical Fairy." Gu Ruanci had already figured out what the Zhou family wanted to do.
"Didn't they say that the old lady would definitely die?" Gu Yuxuan was confused.
"I researched the medicine, so I naturally know about it. But the Zhou family must be too clever, thinking that as long as they succeed in becoming Xiao Yixian's disciple, they can push Madam Zhang to Xiao Yixian. Even if it's just to protect their own reputation, Xiao Yixian will find a way to save Madam Zhang..."
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, she actually felt that the Zhou family's move was very dangerous.
"Why did Doctor Zang leave?"
Gu Congyun already knew what was happening outside.
"If Little Medical Immortal doesn't give them a definite answer, they have another way to force Little Medical Immortal to take action. Before the old lady passes away, they can ask Senior Brother to take her pulse and examine her. This will naturally shift the blame onto Senior Brother. Little Medical Immortal will naturally take on Old Madam Zhang as a patient to help Senior Brother..."
Gu Yulou finally spoke: "Shameless."
Gu Ruanci continued, "Today, they climbed the mountain to burn incense at the Xuan Emperor Temple and knelt at the gate of the Gu family. This was not to apologize, but to let everyone know that the old lady of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion was cured by her own grandson, and it was all with the guidance of the Little Medical Immortal."
Gu Yuting continued her words, "So when Madam Zhang suddenly passed away, it was easy to frame the last doctor who was close to her..."
Gu Ruanci didn't say anything, which meant she agreed.
"It's really a smart plan. No matter which step we don't think of, we will easily fall into their trap. No wonder Doctor Zang went out. Now this basin of dirty water can't be thrown on him, and by then Madam Zhang will really be dead." After Gu Yuting finished speaking, he was actually a little looking forward to it.
At midnight on the third day, Madam Zhang, who believed she was recovered, was suddenly overcome by severe pain, which quickly spread throughout her limbs and bones, as if all the bones in her body were in torture.
She no longer cared about her image and started shouting.
Soon, everyone in the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion was awakened. Seeing Madam Zhang rolling around on the bed, even holding her head with her hands and banging it against the bedpost to relieve her pain, they knew that something was wrong.
"What's going on?" Zhou Zhili was completely confused when he saw his mother in great pain.
When Zhou Yuzhi arrived, he held his head and expressed disbelief.
"Go, go and ask for Doctor Zang..." He also felt that his vision was getting darker and darker.
"Second Young Master, Imperial Physician Zang is not in Imperial Province right now..."
The steward cautiously reminded that it was he who went to deliver the message that day, declining Doctor Zang's offer to take the old lady's pulse.
Zhou Yuzhi was in a panic, and Zhou Zhili couldn't sit still either. The key was that Madam Zhang's cries of pain on the bed, which didn't care about her image at all, were really heartbreaking to hear.
He said to Zhou Zhili with a dull look in his eyes, "Father, this won't work. If Imperial Physician Zang doesn't show up, how can we force the Little Medical Immortal to appear?"
