Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 279 Knowing the Truth Back then
Hengguang courtyard
As soon as Gu Yanxi came back, Gu Shen got the news.

Listening to the report from his confidant Lu Shao, Gu Shen sat behind the desk, put down the teacup in his hand, and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "You said that the third girl is back? Why did she come back at this time?"

Lu Shao reported the information he had obtained in detail: "My subordinates heard that the third girl is in good health and misses her parents very much, so she is in a hurry to come back."

Gu Shen said: "Is it really that simple? In the big house, my elder brother is honest, and the Lin family is nothing to be afraid of. As for their eldest son, Gu Yanchao, although he has moved back now, he is very important to many people in the house. She doesn't pay much attention to things; on the contrary, this Gu Yanxi is mysterious and weird, so far I can't figure out what is going on in her heart, but what is certain is that this person is definitely the most important person in the big room. The difficult one. Otherwise, Jiang, Wenwen, and Aunt Xiang would not have ended up like this."

Speaking of his relatives, Gu Shen's eyes flashed hatred, he is not stupid, he naturally knows who is the reason why his Hengguang Academy has become so depressed right now; his good elder brother has always treated his younger brother. He didn't have any scheming, but he didn't expect that such a person would give birth to an uneasy daughter; this girl almost ruined his family, so how could he be willing to swallow this hatred? !
Thinking of this, Gu Shen involuntarily squeezed the teacup in his hand, and told Lu Shao, "Gu Yanxi must not be underestimated, I don't believe her coming back this time is really a coincidence, but the old man is about to fall ill. It will appear when it happens; therefore, you must investigate carefully to find out the real purpose of Gu Yanxi's coming back this time. "

"Yes, this subordinate will go and investigate in person. It's just the second master, do we need to continue with our plan? Since you are so afraid of these three girls, should we postpone the plan?"

Gu Shen sneered, and said: "If my guess is correct and Gu Yanxi is not someone to be provoked, then it proves that this girl has already set her sights on me; according to her past methods, she will definitely take action. Since in front of her, I have exposed everything, so what else can I dodge? Instead of being passively pursued, it is better to take the initiative, maybe we can attack in one fell swoop, and get what we have wanted for many years."

Speaking of this, Gu Shen looked at Lu Shao, with a stern look in his eyes, "Continue to advance our plan, I want to see what tricks this girl can use."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

After Lu Shao left, Gu Shen leaned on the back of the chair behind him and let out a deep breath.

Over the years, he has endured humiliation for what he is doing now. For him, this is the most important moment in his life. Therefore, even if there are fierce beasts blocking him, he will never back down; It depends on his performance next.

Gu Yanxi followed her mother to her grandfather's bedroom, looking at her grandfather who had lost a lot of weight in less than a month, she was naturally heartbroken.

Quickly came to the bed, threw herself on the edge of the bed, and earnestly called to her most respected relatives: "Grandfather, grandfather, can you wake up? Jiaojiao is back, your most beloved granddaughter is back to see you... ..."

Listening to Gu Yanxi's call, Lin stood aside and secretly wiped away tears, even the servants who were waiting on the side lowered their heads, feeling sad.

Before the old man fell ill, he had been thinking about his little granddaughter who went out of Beijing to recuperate. Now that he finally brought her back, he himself fell ill again; what are these things...

Gu Liang's illness was strange and dangerous, just like what Feng Yichen found out from a dark thread, such a dangerous illness suddenly happened to an old man, if he hadn't called a famous doctor in Beijing in time Come to see a doctor, I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore.

Gu Yanxi lay on the edge of the bed, enduring the grief in his heart and weeping softly for a while, then, immediately collected his emotions, and said to Xiaokui who was waiting behind him: "Go and invite Doctor Wen who came back with us to come in."

Xiaokui took the order and immediately went to work.

After Lin picked up the handkerchief and dabbed the corners of his eyes again, he said to Gu Yanxi: "As long as the doctors in the capital can be ranked, basically they all came to see your grandfather; some said that they were sick from overwork, and some It is said that your grandfather is exhausted, and some people even say that your grandfather is getting old, because the wind and cold some time ago have not been thoroughly understood, and the hidden disease is hidden in the skin, and it is usually undetectable, and it will suddenly erupt when the time comes; in short, those doctors Everyone said that your grandfather needs to rest now, but he has been recuperating for many days, and he hasn't even woken up. You can't blame those doctors for not doing their best. Their medical skills are also good. Even compared with Dr. Wen, most of them are not too far behind."

Listening to his mother's detailed narration, Gu Yanxi picked up a clean handkerchief and wiped his grandfather's face, saying: "Perhaps grandfather's coma is not just a simple illness, if we wait for Doctor Wen to see it, then we can talk about it." Bar."

Lin suddenly heard her daughter say such a sentence, and for a while she didn't quite understand what she wanted to express.He could only stand quietly on the side, watching her delicately wipe the old man's cheeks and hands carefully.

Dr. Wen was quickly invited in, and when he saw Grand Master Gu lying on the bed, his face immediately sank, "Why is he so sick? His complexion has changed so much?"

Gu Yanxi gave up his seat to Doctor Wen, and said: "Although grandfather is old, he has been in good health all these years. Doctor Wen, you often take care of grandfather's pulse. You know his condition best, don't you?"

While echoing Gu Yanxi's words, Dr. Wen took Gu Liang's pulse with a serious expression: "Yes, the old grand master has always been in good health. He used to joke that he would live to see the third girl marry into the Gu family. Only when you have a son and a daughter can you leave with peace of mind. Such a healthy body should not have been honed into what it is now in a short period of time. Third girl, can you find the dregs of the medicine that the old master has been taking for a while? , let the old man take a look?"

Gu Yanxi immediately raised her head and looked at her mother, Lin immediately understood what she meant, and said, "Okay, I will order someone to bring the medicine dregs to Dr. Wen for you to check."

After speaking, Lin gave Yingzhu a look, and Yingzhu immediately walked out of the room and ran towards the small kitchen in Chunhui Garden.

Seeing Yingzhu leave, Gu Yanxi wanted to dismiss her mother again, because she knew that what she was going to say next would not be convenient for a relatively simple-minded person like her mother to listen to.

However, how to distract mother without letting her realize that she deliberately dismissed her?
Gu Yanxi thought for a while, and when she raised her head to look at Mrs. Lin, her face showed a delicate naive look, "Mother, I got up early in the morning and started on my way. I didn't eat anything on the way, and it's already lunchtime now." , the hunger in my belly has long been unbearable, can you go and cook me something delicious?"

As soon as Lin heard that her daughter was hungry, she naturally didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked Gu Yanxi: "Good boy, what do you want to eat? Mommy will make it for you?"

Gu Yanxi was waiting for these words, and she smiled and said: "When I was in Muran Villa, what I missed the most was the old duck soup stewed by you, mother. The duck meat is soft, and the duck soup is rich and sweet. Thinking of it makes me salivate."

As she said that, Gu Yanxi also made a gesture of sucking her saliva fiercely, and Lin Shi couldn't help chuckling immediately, "You're really a glutton. I never forget to satisfy your appetite when I'm recuperating."

Although Lin's mouth is talking about her daughter who loves to eat, but in her heart she feels very sorry for Gu Yanxi, "Okay, mother will cook soup for you now to satisfy you little glutton, but you have to be careful here with your grandfather." Take care, you know?"

"Understood mother, you go quickly."

Gu Yanxi made a gesture and pushed Lin Shi slightly towards the door. She really couldn't wait like that.

Lin Shi looked at Gu Yanxi who was so eager, so she naturally wouldn't delay, she walked out of the room while holding on to the door frame. Looking at her posture, she probably didn't realize that Gu Yanxi was deliberately pushing her away.

After sending Lin away with great difficulty, Gu Yanxi asked Xiaokui to watch over the door again, and when only his own people were left in the room, Gu Yanxi asked Doctor Wen with a serious face: "What is the condition of grandfather?" How's it going?"

Doctor Wen withdrew his hand, his serious expression remained unchanged, and shook his head gently: "The situation is not good, the old grand master's body clearly seems to have been hollowed out in the fastest time, and now, only There is only one body left to support it, and if it continues like this, it may not be very good."

Although Gu Yanxi had already made psychological preparations, after she heard Doctor Wen's diagnosis, she still couldn't help but feel weak.

She didn't expect that her grandfather's condition was really so bad.

"You just said that grandfather's body seemed to be emptied out quickly? What do you mean by that? Could it be that you suspect that grandfather's critical illness is really man-made?"

Doctor Wen said: "Miss San, without definite evidence, the old man really can't talk nonsense, but judging from the old man's many years of medical practice, he can grind the old grand master's body into what it is now, except for deliberation. There is no other explanation."

Deliberately? !It seemed that her guess was indeed correct.

Grandfather's illness is really not a simple groundless rumor, but someone really is behind it all.

And this person hiding in the dark is most likely Gu Shen from Hengguang Academy.

Gu Yanxi clenched his fists, seeing his grandfather's sallow face and unconscious expression, his whole expression changed.

Just because she thought of her previous life, it seems that the accidents of her parents and the death of her grandfather in her previous life were all related to her good second uncle. She has never wronged him; A vicious and vicious beast, even dare to be so cruel to his own relatives.

It seems that this time, he is looking for death by himself and wants to repeat the old tricks. If that is the case, then don't blame her for not being merciful to him.
