“She gave up her life to save you. You know that she did her best to save you, so you can’t even bear to die for fear of letting her down. But at the same time, you also feel that staying alive is too boring, and you’re tormented by pain every day. I’ve already experienced this kind of pain in my life, and I don’t

want you to suffer the same. But… has she already used her blood to cure you?”

Gu Zheng’s voice was hoa.r.s.e. “It was my negligence, but I’ll never let her take the risk again.”

“Mmm, good child.” Old Madam Gu heaved a sigh of relief. “Her blood can cure the poison, but this is not a good thing. You must protect her to the best of your ability. You must not let anyone else know this secret.”

Outside the door, Qiao Xi asked the servant curiously, “Do you know why Old Madam Gu doesn’t wish to receive treatment? Actually, I can arrange for someone to treat her.”

The servant smiled bitterly. “Maybe it’s because Old Madam Gu is kind-hearted and doesn’t want the younger generation to worry about her, so she doesn’t accept treatment.”

Was this the reason? Qiao Xi fell into deep thought.

At this moment, there was a commotion nearby.

Gu Weiming said agitatedly, “Gu Zheng is the same as his mother. He’s a complete lunatic! His illness has never been cured. I think he’ll go blind soon. At that time, he’ll no longer be qualified to be the successor of the Gu family. We’ll lock him up in the courtyard of the Gu family’s backyard and announce

to the public that he’s seriously ill. Let him fend for himself!”

After he left, a few people from the Lu family said excitedly, “Gu Weiming is right! If Gu Zheng were not sick, he would indeed be the most suitable candidate to inherit the position. However, he’s a lunatic! Furthermore, he’s destined to be blind! How can the Gu family be handed to a useless person like

him?!”

“I still remember his crazy expression when he was locked in the bas.e.m.e.nt when he was young. His eyes looked like they wanted to kill someone! How scary!”

“When he goes crazy, he’ll really kill people! And his eyes are… Sigh! Let’s not talk about it. Just hearing about it makes me panic. Anyway, people like him are jinxes. He doesn’t deserve to have relatives. He should have been abandoned at birth!”

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth in anger as she listened to their discussion.

They actually dared to say such things about Gu Zheng behind his back. Such people would definitely go to h.e.l.l after they died!

Those people didn’t realize that Qiao Xi was nearby, and they continued to ridicule Gu Zheng. These people were jealous of Gu Zheng and didn’t dare face him head-on, so they only dared to speak a few bad words behind his back. They were all bark and no bite!

Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with danger as she raised her wrist and lightly flicked it. A few silver needles flew out rapidly, and after swiftly p.r.i.c.king a few people, they were quickly retracted. This process only took two seconds. It wouldn’t leave any traces.

“Ah! It hurts! What is it?”

“Lalso feel a sharp pain in my back!”

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be G-Gu Zheng? I heard that he just came back to visit Old Madam Gu!”

Qiao Xi smiled smugly and counted to three in her heart. The few of them instantly turned pale, then they hugged their stomachs and started to look for the toilet in a panic.

“Naughty!” Gu Zheng’s gentle voice suddenly rang out. After he finished speaking with the old madam, the old madam fell asleep due to exhaustion. The moment he went out, he saw Qiao Xi using her hidden weapon.

Qiao Xi smiled awkwardly. “How am I naughty? I’m just playing! It’s not a big deal, haha…”

She laughed a few times and suddenly realized how long Gu Zheng had been standing there. In fact, she didn’t care about her hidden weapon being exposed. In any case, Gu Zheng already knew about it, but did he hear what those people had said just now?

They said Gu Zheng was a piece of trash, a lunatic

Qiao Xi’s face sank, and her eyes were filled with worry. However, he was calm and composed. “Grandmother woke up for a very long time this time, and she’s in pretty good health. Let’s stay here and accompany her for a few days, alright?”

Qiao Xi nodded without the slightest hesitation. Old Madam Gu was old and couldn’t stay awake for long, so it was only right for Gu Zheng to stay here and accompany her.

“have my own courtyard in the Gu family.” Gu Zheng’s eyes darkened. “You should know that.”

Qiao Xi had naturally heard of it before. The courtyard was called Maple Garden, and since it was called this name, the place he lived in ought to be filled with maple trees. It would surely be extremely beautiful when autumn arrived and the ground was covered in red maple leaves.
