Chapter 274: Getting Hands Dirty

“Kill her? I’d rather not dirty my hands.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Shi’s anger flared, but she dared not speak out.
Gu Zhicheng let out a sigh of relief. “So it was all just a misunderstanding.”
He had genuinely worried that Gu Qingluan might resort to violence. Although he was also a Saint, he knew he wouldn’t stand a chance against her. If she were to attack, he’d probably end up embarrassed and unable to stop her.
“However—”
“What do you mean, ‘however’?”
Both Gu Zhicheng and Wang Shi tensed up.
“Madam has sent a gift for my son. Shouldn’t I reciprocate?”
Snap!
Gu Qingluan raised her hand and flicked open a box slightly smaller than a palm, revealing a green, ethereal pill.
“As long as Madam consumes it, we’ll consider the debt settled.”
Without a second thought, Wang Shi refused.
What a joke—there’s no way that what Gu Qingluan presented was something beneficial.
It must be a sinister concoction!
Gu Zhicheng asked, “What is this?”
“Mmm, just a poison that leaves one speechless,” Gu Qingluan said nonchalantly.
Gu Zhicheng’s mouth twitched in annoyance.
Wang Shi immediately shrieked, “I won’t eat it!”
“Then I’ll have to feed it to you myself.” Gu Qingluan took a step towards her.
“Old Master! Stop her quickly!” Wang Shi tightly grabbed onto Gu Zhicheng’s arm.
Frowning, Gu Zhicheng asked, “Qingluan, can’t you show a little tolerance?”
Gu Qingluan was amused by his request. “Tolerance? Based on your past actions, a hundred deaths wouldn’t be enough to compensate. 1 haven’t harmed you, yet you’ve repeatedly targeted me and my son. Gu Family’s Master, why don’t you ask your loving wife why she refused to spare us?”
Gu Zhicheng turned to Wang Shi. “What have you done now?”
He had just come out of seclusion and was unaware of what had occurred outside.
Wang Shi’s gaze flickered, and she stuttered, unable to find the words.
Gu Qingluan didn’t mind filling him in.
Hearing Gu Qingluan’s explanation, Gu Zhicheng almost slapped Wang Shi away.
What a foolish woman!
He had advised her earlier not to provoke Gu Qingluan until his cultivation stabilized, but she wouldn’t listen!
Now disaster was upon them, wasn’t it?
“Would the head of Gu Family still want to stop me? Gu Family is no longer what it used to be. If Wang Shi continues her reckless behavior, who knows if 1’11 spare her life next time or if the whole Gu Family will be implicated. If she can’t speak, it might bring some peace. Gu Family’s master is a smart person who knows how to choose.”
“Gu Qingluan, don’t try to deceive the Old Master! You’re out to harm me!” Wang Shi scolded, hoping to remind Gu Zhicheng not to be manipulated by Gu Qingluan.
However, Gu Zhicheng was swayed by Gu Qingluan’s words.
Originally, his relationship with this eldest daughter wouldn’t have deteriorated this much, but it was due to Wang Shi and his younger brother’s family that he grew distant from Qingluan and ended up in this situation.
The poison was only causing muteness; it wouldn’t be fatal.
This way, Wang Shi could stay quiet for a while, and she wouldn’t cause him any trouble.
Regarding Xue’er…
Once his cultivation stabilized and he no longer feared Gu Qingluan, he could find someone to detoxify Wang Shi. Xue’er wouldn’t blame him anymore.
Gu Zhicheng asked, “Will this pill be life-threatening?”
“No.” Gu Qingluan smiled.
Of course, Wang Shi’s life must be spared. Only then could she witness everything she had schemed and stolen from others crumble to nothing, including her daughter!
Gu Zhicheng said, “Give me the pill.”
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
Did he not believe her words?
No matter, even if an alchemist came to inspect it, unless they tasted it, they wouldn’t discern its true nature!
Gu Zhicheng genuinely couldn’t tell. He had someone go find Zhang Sheng to confirm if this poisonous pill posed a danger to one’s life.
After a while, a servant reported that Zhang Sheng wasn’t at Jade Serenity Residence.
Without much thought, Gu Zhicheng had someone fetch a physician.
Naturally, the physician couldn’t decipher anything.
Observing his actions, Wang Shi felt uneasy, “Old Master, what are you doing?”
Observing Gu Qingluan’s rising restlessness and considering that if she genuinely intended harm, she had numerous chances, he felt there was no need for deception. Therefore, he turned to Wang Shi and stated, “Madam, I believe you should ingest this pill..”
