Chapter 94: Chapter 94: The Young Lady of Her Family is Making Trouble

“Hehe…” Gu Qingli found her a bit cute when she was flustered, so she couldn’t help but smile, her lips pursed. These maids were becoming more and more lively. They were no longer the little old ladies they were when they first met.

“Wuyou, when you talk to him later, remind him who would benefit the most from poisoning him.”

Wuyou’s eyes lit up.

Her young lady was going to stir things up!

She nodded vigorously. “Miss, I promise to complete the mission and let them bite each other like dogs. It would be best if their fur flew everywhere.”

HAHAHA… Her young lady was so cunning! Before, she hadn’t understood why Gu Qingli had agreed to treat the Seventh Prince when she had clearly said she wouldn’t treat anyone from the Imperial Palace.

Gu Qingli glanced at her.

This girl had finally grown a little smarter.

After giving some instructions, Wuyou went to the Medical Clinic. Gu Qingli then returned to her Space to make a bottle of Detoxification Pills. As long as she used the detoxifying spirit herbs from her Space and mixed them with Spiritual Spring Water, there was no poison she couldn’t cure.

Heavenly Spider Venom? Piece of cake.

After making the Detoxification Pills, Gu Qingli played with Da Bai for a while before leaving her Space, leisurely waiting for Wuyou to return and feed her.

Life was quite enjoyable like this, but it still felt a little empty without that one person.

“Miss.” Wuyou brought in the food. Gu Qingli nodded, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.

“Miss, Dean Lin came by this afternoon with an Imperial Physician,” Wuyou reported. “The physician advised the Seventh Prince to return to Capital City, saying that it was impossible for a small Medical Clinic like ours to cure a poison that even their Imperial Hospital couldn’t handle. He suggested that the Emperor find renowned doctors from all over to treat him.”

“Oh? What was Chu Yan’s reaction?” Gu Qingli was surprised.

That man couldn’t hold back. He came to persuade Chu Yan to return to the capital before the detoxification was even complete? Wasn’t this a case of ’no silver is hidden here, three hundred taels’? She didn’t believe that Chu Yan hadn’t buried a seed of doubt in his heart after she had just fed him a dose of her ’sowing discord soup.’ However, this Imperial Physician’s arrival was quite timely; he was here to give a divine assist.

“Hehe, Miss, if only you could have seen Chu Yan’s face, as black as the bottom of a pot…” Wuyou said, her expression animated. “In the end, it was Dean Lin who noticed Chu Yan’s expression change and dragged the Imperial Physician away.”

Hehe… As expected.

Gu Qingli smirked.

She always said that the Royal Family was the most heartless. Before that supreme position, everything else was fleeting clouds. She didn’t believe Chu Yan would do nothing once his poison was cured.

Gu Qingli found this meal particularly delicious and ate two extra bowls of rice.

「The next day」

Wuyou brought the Detoxification Pills to the Gu Clinic.

She wanted to slap them in the face, hard, and firmly establish the truth in Chu Yan’s heart.

Wuyou didn’t return until evening. As soon as she got back, she came to report to Gu Qingli.

“Miss, I brought you a roast duck tonight. Please try it.” Saying this, Wuyou took out the already sliced roast duck from the food box.

Gu Qingli sniffed it. It looked golden but didn’t have much aroma. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Hmm? The taste was actually pretty good. The skin was crispy, the meat tender, and the flavor well-balanced. If there were some chili sauce or something, the taste would be absolutely divine.

“Want some?” Gu Qingli asked.

“Sure,” Wuyou replied. This time, she didn’t refuse and also picked up her bowl and chopsticks to eat.

“Miss, your Detoxification Pill is truly amazing! The moment Chu Yan took it, in less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, he vomited several large mouthfuls of black blood. More than half the poison was gone! He was so excited that, despite his mouth being full of filth, he burst out laughing. It scared his three servants into thinking he had gone mad!” Wuyou said while chewing, her little mouth moving like a hamster’s.

Gu Qingli’s mouth twitched.

This carefree girl! They were eating, for goodness’ sake! Wasn’t she disgusted?

Gu Qingli put down her chopsticks and listened to Wuyou’s detailed account.

Only when Wuyou had finished all the roast duck on the plate did she notice Gu Qingli smiling at her.

“Miss, um…” Wuyou hurriedly put down her chopsticks and looked at Gu Qingli nervously.

That roast duck was too delicious; she had gotten completely carried away eating it.

“It’s alright. Clean it up,” Gu Qingli said softly.

She didn’t want to scare her little maid. As long as they didn’t betray their master, other things were minor and not worth her concern. She only hoped her four little maids could live as they pleased.

“Yes, Miss.” Seeing that Gu Qingli wasn’t angry, Wuyou happily cleaned up.

As Wuyou walked back to the kitchen, Gu Qingli noticed she even seemed to be walking with her arms and legs on the same side moving in unison.

Gu Qingli chuckled inwardly. They were still children, after all, and needed to be pampered.

「Three days later」

Chu Yan’s poison was completely eradicated. On the fourth day, he paid his consultation fee and gave Wuyou an additional deed for a shop in a bustling area of Capital City. According to Chu Yan, it was a three-story building that could be used as a Medical Clinic. He suggested they open a branch of the Gu Clinic in Capital City.

Needless to say, he wanted the Gu Clinic to go there and metaphorically slap more faces.

Wuyou had no reason to refuse such a gift that landed in her lap.

Miss had already planned to open a Gu Clinic in Capital City. This was perfect; they could open it directly now.

However, Chu Yan had barely left when Dean Lin arrived, his face dark.

That damned girl dared to deceive him! If the Seventh Prince’s poison could be cured, why couldn’t his daughter’s? Even the Imperial Physician who came was helpless.

Wuyou spread her hands. “Dean Lin, Miss Lin’s condition is different from Young Master Chu’s. We just happened to have the key medicinal ingredient for his case.”

“Are you truly not going to treat her?” Dean Lin asked again, his voice heavy, his gaze on Wuyou like a poisoned dagger.

Wuyou snorted coldly.

So this was Dean Lin’s true face. Hypocritical! He’s stopped pretending, has he? How could she possibly treat someone her Miss wanted to deal with? Had she been possessed by a ghost to do such a thing?

Wuyou was unfazed by his gaze.

She was a former assassin; what kind of person hadn’t she seen? Afraid of him? When she got angry, even she scared herself!

She said coldly, “Dean Lin, forgive us, but we are powerless to help.”

“Fine, fine, fine! Very good! We’ll wait and see just how remarkable this Gu Clinic of yours is! HUMPH! Let’s go!” Dean Lin flicked his sleeve and stormed off with his men.

Wuyou watched him leave, looking utterly exasperated. Ignoring the onlookers pointing and muttering about her, she quickly gave some instructions and hurried back to report to her Miss.

Those onlookers were saying their Medical Clinic had no medical ethics, refusing to treat the sick. It was Dean Lin’s daughter they had refused! Everyone knew Dean Lin was in charge of Huaishan Academy, and his sister was the current Empress. For them to seek treatment from the Gu Clinic should have been seen as honoring it. This Gu Clinic was simply too unappreciative of favors!

Wuyou hurried back to the Gu Residence and told Gu Qingli what had happened, still worried about the Medical Clinic’s reputation. “Miss, I don’t think Dean Lin will let this go. What should we do next?” Wuyou looked anxiously at her composed Miss.

Gu Qingli said, “What should we do? Deal with it coolly!”

“Deal with it coolly? Miss, you still have the heart to joke? This will definitely affect our Medical Clinic’s reputation!”

They had worked so hard to build up their fame; she didn’t want that awful person to ruin it.
