150 Will Someone From the Qi Family Lay Their Hands on My Grandmother?
“Of course not. Mother’s move is killing two birds with one stone. I’m impressed,” Gu Chengbin said in a flattering manner.
“It’s good that you understand my thoughts. Without the Old Madam, I’ll be the true ruler of the Gu family. At that time, the Qi family will naturally help me deal with Gu Qingxue. We’ll just watch the fire from the other side. Won’t we be happy?” Madam Kou said as she picked up food for her children. “That’s settled then. Let’s eat.”
...On the other side, Gu Qingxue came back to eat with Madam Qi and the three children, looking absent-minded.
After lunch, the three children obediently followed Cui’er to take an afternoon nap. Only Gu Qingxue, Madam Qi, Lan Wen, and Nanny Sheng were left in the room.
Nanny Sheng served Gu Qingxue a cup of calming flower tea and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with the Eldest Miss today? Why are you absent-minded?”
“Lan Wen, go outside and guard. Don’t let anyone in,” Gu Qingxue instructed without raising her head.
“Yes,” Lan Wen nodded obediently and left the room.
Nanny Sheng looked worried and asked in confusion, “Eldest Miss, what exactly happened?”
Gu Qingxue frowned and said, “The Eldest Madam asked me to go over just now. I mentioned that I was going to leave with my grandmother. In the end, she agreed very indifferently. The three of them seemed like they have gotten rid of big trouble.”
Nanny Sheng had been by the side of Madam Qi for so many years and had seen everything, she instantly understood what Gu Qingxue meant. “That’s strange. If the Eldest Madam poisoned the Old Madam, she would definitely not be willing to let the Old Madam leave her sight. Since she’s so indifferent, it’s obvious that the poisoning of the Old Madam has nothing to do with her.”
“If it’s not her, who else could it be? The second and third wives have no reason to harm my grandmother. On the contrary, with my grandmother alive, they would get more of the family’s property. After my grandmother became muddle-headed, Madam Kou took control of the Gu family. She was clearly the biggest beneficiary.” Gu Qingxue had been thinking about it ever since she left Madam Kou’s side, she had been thinking about it.
However, she could not figure it out.
Besides Madam Kou, who else had the motive to harm her grandmother?
Nanny Sheng was also worried. She could not figure it out either, she could only say gently, “Eldest Miss, fortunately, the result is good. Madam Kou is willing to let us take the Old Madam away. When we return to the Dafu Village, you can begin to detoxify the Old Madam.”
“The mastermind can poison grandmother once, and then he can poison her a second time. If we can’t find her, I can’t be at ease no matter what.” Gu Qingxue held Nanny Sheng’s hand, “Nanny, think carefully. Who else could harm my grandmother?” Gu Qingxue asked.
Nanny Sheng furrowed her brows in embarrassment, shook her head, and said, “I’m not sure either. According to reason, there shouldn’t be any problem with your speculation, Eldest Miss. Among so many people in the Gu family, the most suspicious person is the Eldest Madam.”
Gu Qingxue’s eyes lit up, and she held Nanny Sheng’s hand tightly. “Then, what about people outside the Gu Family?”
Nanny Sheng’s expression changed, and she looked at Gu Qingxue in shock. “Eldest Miss, you mean…”
“The Qi family. Will someone from the Qi family lay a hand on my grandmother?”Gu Qingxue narrowed her eyes and asked sharply.
Nanny Sheng hurriedly shook her head. “Eldest Miss, your great-uncle was raised single-handedly by the Old Madam, his eldest sister. She is like a mother to him. He has always respected the Old Madam, and as long as the Old Madam asks him to look east, he will never go west! Moreover, your great-uncle has led your uncles and cousins to battle on the battlefield. He would not have the chance to poison them.”
