Chapter 412: What Benefit Would He Get From Her Death?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although Patriarch Tang didn’t express his thoughts openly, his expression spoke volumes.

Li Yuhang displayed a unified front with them, showing his solidarity against the unknown enemy.

Then, with a hint of nervousness, he asked Gu Qingluan, “Do you know how long it will take to detoxify her? When will Qi’er wake up?”

Gu Qingluan’s gaze shifted lightly, and she replied calmly, “I’ll detoxify her shortly. However, due to the extensive damage caused by the poison, she won’t wake up immediately after detoxification. It will take until tomorrow for her to regain consciousness.”

For the Tang family members, the prospect of her waking up was already a significant piece of good news.

They promptly requested Gu Qingluan to detoxify Tang Shiqi.

A trace of dark intent flickered in Li Yuhang’s eyes but quickly vanished.

“In that case, we’ll trouble Miss Gu.”

Everyone was ushered out by Gu Qingluan, and in the end, she asked Tang Shijun to stay behind, using the excuse that she needed his assistance.

Li Yuhang immediately suggested, “Little Sister is young and may not know how to take care of someone properly. Shall I have Qingluo assist Miss Gu?”

“No need. i only need Shijun to help Tang Miss with her clothing removal.”

Gu Qingluan declined his offer.

Li Yuhang couldn’t insist further and had to step outside, watching as the door closed behind him.

He stood outside with a solemn expression.

He hadn’t expected that Tang Shiqi, who had stopped breathing, could be saved by someone.

If Tang Shiqi woke up tomorrow, he would be in a precarious situation.

He silently prayed for Gu Qingluan’s detoxification to fail.

He listened intently for any sounds from inside the room, but disappointingly, there was no sound at all, which made him increasingly anxious.

The others thought he was worried about Tang Shiqi.

Patriarch Tang and Madam Tang exchanged a knowing glance.

The two of them had been married for several decades, and their understanding of each other was complete.

They saw in each other’s eyes their satisfaction with Li Yuhang.

While Li Yuhang had raised doubts about Gu Qingluan earlier, it was driven by his genuine concern for Tang Shiqi. Moreover, his conduct over the past three years clearly demonstrated his sincerity.

Perhaps they had misjudged him before.

Inside the room, Gu Qingluan was forcing the poison out of Tang Shiqi’s body.

The poison in Tang Shiqi’s body was mainly difficult to detect, but once detected, it was not hard to treat.

Gu Qingluan used ordinary golden needles to extract all the poison from her.

Under Gu Qingluan’s guidance, Tang Shijun helped Tang Shiqi dress.

“Qingluan, has my older sister’s poison been cured?”

Gu Qingluan nodded and then smiled. Tang Shijun immediately walked towards the door, intending to inform her parents of this news.

However, she stopped Tang Shijun in his tracks. “Wait a moment, 1 have a few questions to ask you.”

Tang Shijun blinked. “What questions?”

“Why did your parents oppose your older sister marrying Scholar Li?”

“Li Yuhang comes from a humble background, but my father is not a materialistic person. He said that Li Yuhang is motivated by gain and has character issues. He’s not genuinely good to my older sister; he’s just after the influence of the Tang family.”

Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. “How did your father come to that conclusion?

1 find the Li residence quite modest.”

In the opulent city of Tianjing, the Li residence should be considered a relatively modest dwelling.

The courtyard wasn’t large, with grey tiles and white walls, and there weren’t many servants.

“My father said he’s seen many people and can feel it,” Tang Shijun replied with a glint of insight. “Qingluan, is there something wrong with Li Yuhang?”

Gu Qingluan nodded. “1 suspect he poisoned your older sister.”

She only said this in front of Tang Shijun because she was her friend, and she trusted her.

However, the other members of the Tang family had been hostile towards her before this, and if she told them, they might doubt the truth of her words.

Tang Shijun’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Li Yuhang poisoned her? No… it can’t be true, can it? He adored my older sister. Why would he harm her? What benefit does he get from her death?”

A wry smile curled on Gu Qingluan’s red lips..
