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. âYoung Madam, the president no longer anticipates clearing his name. He just wants to know who killed Madam Lu.â
To Gu Zheng, the Lu family and the Gu family were the same. They would do anything for benefits.
Qiao Xi sniffled. âI understand.â
â¦
In the bedroom.
Song Shiyu looked anxious. âPresident, does your head still hurt?â
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, âYoung Madam, do you know everything now?â
When Qiao Xi saw the fine sweat that seeped out from Gu Zhengâs forehead and his fists that were tightly clenched, she instantly came to a sudden understanding. âThe poison is acting up?â
Song Shiyu nodded. âYes, we can only let him endure it when the poison acts up. Itâll be fine as long as he survives. We can only watch him suffer. Thereâs nothing we can do about it.â
Qiao Xi bent down and gently stroked his cheek. She could sense his pain and uneasiness.
âMadam Gu poisoned him?â
âOnly 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 wouldâveâ¦â
Song Shiyu said through gritted teeth.
Qiao Xiâs heart trembled. She was both angry and heartbroken.
Gu Zheng was Lu Qingyunâs child. Did the Lu family ignore him and let a mistress torture the legitimate wifeâs child?
Song Shiyu frowned. âBack 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 Luâs father. Itâs just that he didnât like his daughter, Miss Lu. Of course, he didnât care about the presidentâs life or death.
âThe Lu family is more complicated than you think. Maybe Madam Luâs death was caused by the Lu family!â
Qiao Xiâs 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 grandfatherâs 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 Luâs illness was the same as Gu Zhengâs. Grandpa wrote in his diary: [Itâs too late. If it were a year earlier, perhaps she could have been saved. However, thereâs 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 Zhengâs forehead and sighed.
If she really could not detoxify the poison in Gu Zhengâs body, there was still something else she could do.
As the descendant of a divine physician, she had a special skillâher blood could cure all poisons.
Of course, this kind of thing could not be spread to outsiders. Otherwise, she would become the target of everyoneâs competition.
Howeverâ¦
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 Zhengâs 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.]
â¦
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 Zhengâs 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?
