[✓](2)Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

449-450

Chapter 449: Lone Star

“She gave up her life to save you. You know that she did her best to save you, so you can’t even bear to die for fear of letting her down. But at the same time, you also feel that staying alive is too boring, and you’re tormented by pain every day. I’ve already experienced this kind of pain in my life, and I don’t want you to suffer the same. But… has she already used her blood to cure you?”

Gu Zheng’s voice was hoarse. “It was my negligence, but I’ll never let her take the risk again.”

“Mmm, good child.” Old Madam Gu heaved a sigh of relief. “Her blood can cure the poison, but this is not a good thing. You must protect her to the best of your ability. You must not let anyone else know this secret.”

Outside the door, Qiao Xi asked the servant curiously, “Do you know why Old Madam Gu doesn’t wish to receive treatment? Actually, I can arrange for someone to treat her.”

The servant smiled bitterly. “Maybe it’s because Old Madam Gu is kind-hearted and doesn’t want the younger generation to worry about her, so she doesn’t accept treatment.”

Was this the reason? Qiao Xi fell into deep thought.

At this moment, there was a commotion nearby.

Gu Weiming said agitatedly, “Gu Zheng is the same as his mother. He’s a complete lunatic! His illness has never been cured. I think he’ll go blind soon. At that time, he’ll no longer be qualified to be the successor of the Gu family. We’ll lock him up in the courtyard of the Gu family’s backyard and announce to the public that he’s seriously ill. Let him fend for himself!”

After he left, a few people from the Lu family said excitedly, “Gu Weiming is right! If Gu Zheng were not sick, he would indeed be the most suitable candidate to inherit the position. However, he’s a lunatic! Furthermore, he’s destined to be blind! How can the Gu family be handed to a useless person like him?!”

“I still remember his crazy expression when he was locked in the basement when he was young. His eyes looked like they wanted to kill someone! How scary!”

“When he goes crazy, he’ll really kill people! And his eyes are… Sigh! Let’s not talk about it. Just hearing about it makes me panic. Anyway, people like him are jinxes. He doesn’t deserve to have relatives. He should have been abandoned at birth!”

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth in anger as she listened to their discussion.

They actually dared to say such things about Gu Zheng behind his back. Such people would definitely go to hell after they died!

Those people didn’t realize that Qiao Xi was nearby, and they continued to ridicule Gu Zheng. These people were jealous of Gu Zheng and didn’t dare face him head-on, so they only dared to speak a few bad words behind his back. They were all bark and no bite!

Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with danger as she raised her wrist and lightly flicked it. A few silver needles flew out rapidly, and after swiftly pricking a few people, they were quickly retracted. This process only took two seconds. It wouldn’t leave any traces.

“Ah! It hurts! What is it?”

“I also feel a sharp pain in my back!”

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be G-Gu Zheng? I heard that he just came back to visit Old Madam Gu!”

Qiao Xi smiled smugly and counted to three in her heart. The few of them instantly turned pale, then they hugged their stomachs and started to look for the toilet in a panic.
