Everyone clearly knew the truth, but they did not say anything and just let Gu Zheng shoulder the burden of being an illegitimate child.
The Lu family was supposed to save Gu Zheng from the fire, but they had now become the ones pushing him into it.
Song Shijing sighed. “Young Madam, the president no longer anticipates clearing his name. He just wants to know who killed Madam Lu.”
To Gu Zheng, the Lu family and the Gu family were the same. They would do anything for benefits.
Qiao Xi sniffled. “I understand.”
…
In the bedroom.
Song Shiyu looked anxious. “President, does your head still hurt?”
Gu Zheng remained silent and frowned.
Qiao Xi carefully walked in and saw that his eyes were closed. He looked to be in pain.
Song Shiyu asked in a low voice, “Young Madam, do you know everything now?”
When Qiao Xi saw the fine sweat that seeped out from Gu Zheng’s forehead and his fists that were tightly clenched, she instantly came to a sudden understanding. “The poison is acting up?”
Song Shiyu nodded. “Yes, we can only let him endure it when the poison acts up. It’ll be fine as long as he survives. We can only watch him suffer. There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Qiao Xi bent down and gently stroked his cheek. She could sense his pain and uneasiness.
“Madam Gu poisoned him?”
“Only she would do such a vicious thing. When the president was young, he was always locked in a small dark room by that vicious woman. She even poisoned him because she wanted to wait for him to die from the poison so that her son could inherit the family business. Fortunately, the president gritted his teeth and survived. If it were someone else, they would’ve…”
Song Shiyu said through gritted teeth.
Qiao Xi’s heart trembled. She was both angry and heartbroken.
Gu Zheng was Lu Qingyun’s child. Did the Lu family ignore him and let a mistress torture the legitimate wife’s child?
Song Shiyu frowned. “Back then, Old Master Lu was seriously ill and the Lu family was leaderless. No one could make decisions. After that, the person in charge of the Lu family became Miss Lu’s father. It’s just that he didn’t like his daughter, Miss Lu. Of course, he didn’t care about the president’s life or death.
“The Lu family is more complicated than you think. Maybe Madam Lu’s death was caused by the Lu family!”
Qiao Xi’s pupils constricted.
Could it be that the Lu family was really the culprit behind the tragedy?
If that was the case, they were scarier than the Gu family!
Qiao Xi sat quietly on the bed. After Song Shiyu left, she began to read her grandfather’s diary.
The diary was already very old, but it was well-preserved. Qiao Xi flipped through it carefully.
It wrote that 40 years ago, Old Master Lu had invited him to treat the seven-year-old Madam Lu. At that time, Madam Lu’s illness was the same as Gu Zheng’s. Grandpa wrote in his diary: [It’s too late. If it were a year earlier, perhaps she could have been saved. However, there’s no cure now.]
Qiao Xi could not help but be stunned.
She originally thought that Madam Lu was poisoned after marrying into the Gu family. Unexpectedly, she was already poisoned when she was young and at about the same time as Gu Zheng.
Was there a special reason for them to be poisoned when they were young?
Qiao Xi stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat on Gu Zheng’s forehead and sighed.
If she really could not detoxify the poison in Gu Zheng’s body, there was still something else she could do.
As the descendant of a divine physician, she had a special skill—her blood could cure all poisons.
Of course, this kind of thing could not be spread to outsiders. Otherwise, she would become the target of everyone’s competition.
However…
Qiao Xi closed the diary and took out a sharp knife. It quickly cut through her skin, and she poured blood into his mouth.
After drinking the blood, Gu Zheng’s expression eased up greatly. Qiao Xi heaved a sigh of relief and fell asleep for some reason.
At this moment, a breeze blew past. The diary flipped to the last page: [Blood Detoxification causes immeasurable side effects.]
…
The next morning.
Qiao Xi opened her sleepy eyes. She was exhausted and found herself sleeping on the bed.
This was? Right, this was Gu Zheng’s bedroom.
After feeding Gu Zheng her blood last night, she might have gotten a little weak, so she fell asleep right there.
However, she remembered that she seemed to have slept on the sofa.. Why was she on the bed when she woke up?
