183 Why Can’t We Have a Father?
“What exactly is Raw Bitter Grass? I’ve never heard of it before,” Nanny Sheng asked in puzzlement.
“Raw Bitter Grass is a very rare herb. The leaves of this herb can make people delirious and even lead to stupidity. The only way to detoxify the poison is to use the seeds of the Raw Bitter Grass as the main medicine together with other medicine. Only then can the poison be detoxified. Moreover, the more the poison, the harder it is to detoxify,” Gu Qingxue said, she stretched out her hand and held onto Madam Qi’s hand, feeling her heart ache.
Madam Qi’s face was dull as she held onto Gu Qingxue’s hand tightly and gave a simple and honest smile.
Seeing this scene, tears quickly rose in Nanny Sheng’s eyes. “It’s fortunate that the Eldest Miss was able to see that the Old Madam was poisoned. Otherwise, the Old Madam would still be living in a dream even if she was killed by someone.”
Nanny Sheng was Madam Qi’s bridesmaid. She clearly remembered how Madam Qi had been in high spirits back then.
However, who would have thought that fate would play tricks on her and that Madam Qi would actually end up in such a state today? It was truly a pity.
“Nanny, don’t worry. I’ll treat my grandmother as soon as possible. I’ll wait until tonight before going to bed and start treating grandmother for the first time. After a few days, I would be able to see the effects and determine how long it would take for her to fully recover,” Gu Qingxue comforted her.
Nanny Sheng nodded and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. She smiled through her tears. “I wonder when the general and his family will return to the imperial court. I wonder how happy they will be when they hear that the Old Madam has regained her senses.”
Gu Qingxue gave a faint smile. “They might be happy, but the culprit hidden in the crowd might not be. Nanny, don’t forget that before we find the culprit, we can’t trust anyone, including the Qi family.”
She had no impression of the Qi family. She only knew that her grandmother had a great influence on the Qi family. From Old General Qi to his son and grandson, she had watched everyone grow up, everyone was in awe of her grandmother.
However, it was unknown whether there were any schemes behind this awe.
Before finding the real culprit, Gu Qingxue would not trust anyone, even if they were from the Qi family.
Nanny Sheng wanted to say something, but she stopped herself. She looked at the expressionless Gu Qingxue and then at the Old Madam. In the end, she sighed. “Miss, you have thought of everything. This old servant understands the seriousness of the situation.”
Gu Qingxue pulled back her serious expression. After instructing Nanny Sheng to look after the Old Madam, she went back to her room to make medicine.
Dumby and Lingbao had nothing to do since their eldest brother was away from school. In addition, their mother was busy making medicine. The two children sat on the doorsill gloomily, their hands supporting their chins as they stared blankly at the sky.
“Second brother, isn’t it too boring for us to just sit here?” Lingbao sighed and peeked at Gu Qingxue’s room. Seeing that there was no movement in her room, she said quietly, “It would be great if we had a father now. We could even play with him.”
Hearing the word ‘father’, Dumby immediately felt as if he was facing a great enemy. The hair on his head stood up straight. “Little sister, how can you have such a dangerous thought?”
“What’s so dangerous about that? Look, Xiaohua, Xiaohu, and even Wang Tudou have a father. Why can’t we have a gather?” Lingbao asked back.
“But what if father takes mother away? Besides, we have a father. Didn’t mother say that father went to a very, very far place?” Dumby said in a childish voice.
