173 Chapter 173 Gu Ziyi

After lunch, the couple wanted to take Er Zhuang for a walk in the mountains.

Just as they were about to leave, Mrs. Wang brought a haggard-looking but well-dressed young woman to their doors.

Zhou Ying was stunned but still greeted her. “Hello, auntie. Please come in.”

She invited them into the house.

Gu Chengrui had no choice but to tie Er Zhuang back to his post and head to the kitchen to boil some water, which caused Er Zhuang to bark sadly.

After they returned to the living room and sat down, Mrs. Wang introduced them to each other.

Zhou Ying only realized that the young woman was Mrs. Wang’s eldest daughter, Gu Ziyi. She quickly pushed some dried fruits she had prepared to them and said, “Oh, big sister, it’s you. When did you come back?”

“Just this morning. We’ve come to find Chengrui and request that he do a checkup for her.” When Madam Wang saw that Gu Chengrui wasn’t around, she couldn’t help but ask, “Does Chengrui have something to do?”

“He’s most likely in the kitchen boiling some water. Wait a moment while I’ll take his place.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she got up and walked out.

When she reached the kitchen, she saw that Gu Chengrui had filled a pot with water and was about to light the fire. She quickly went forward to stop him. “That young woman is your eldest uncle’s daughter, Gu Ziyi. She’s here as a patient today, so you’d better go and take a look while I make tea.”

“I’ll go over then.” Before entering the living room, Gu Chengrui took a ladle of warm water from the stove pot and placed it in a basin.

After he left, Zhou Ying entered her interspace and made a pot of boiling water with her electric kettle. She used this boiled water to make a pot of Longjing tea and returned to the living room.

After pouring a cup of tea for everyone, Zhou Ying sat next to Mrs. Wang and waited with her for the results.

After a few minutes, Gu Chengrui stopped and looked at Gu Ziyi thoughtfully. “Big sister, when did you feel you were not feeling well?”

“About three months ago, but I can’t remember the exact time. My problem was confirmed two months ago, as I’ve visited a few doctors. They all said it was anemia, and no serious illness was diagnosed.” Gu Ziyi frowned and replied.

She continued, “Have you found out the reason for my sickness?”

Gu Chengrui replied, “If I’m not wrong, you’ve been poisoned by a slow-acting poison. However, I’m not knowledgeable enough to confirm what kind of poison it is.”

“What? Poisoned? ” Mrs. Wang stood up in shock and looked at Gu Ziyi, asking, “Is anyone bullying you? Who wants to harm you? Tell me, and mother will tear them apart!”

“Mother, let’s go back.” Gu Ziyi was stunned before smiling bitterly. She went forward to help her mother up to leave.

Gu Chengrui looked at her forbearing expression and knew she had something on her mind. She probably knew what was going on.

But it was obvious that she didn’t want to be treated, so he persuaded her, “Big sister, if you don’t get treatment in time, I’m afraid you won’t live for more than three months. You have to think about your children, too.”

“What? T-three months?” Mrs. Wang’s legs went limp, and she looked at Gu Chengrui in shock. She staggered, pounced on him to grab his arm, and begged, “Chengrui, can you cure her?”

Gu Chengrui quickly helped her to sit down, but before he could speak, Gu Ziyi stated, “Mother, there’s no need for that and let’s go back. Don’t make things difficult for Chengrui.”

“You stupid girl, do you know something? “Tell me, and mother will make the decision for you.” Mrs. Wang looked at her unworried appearance and demanded angrily.

“No, mother, I’m…” Gu Ziyi hesitated.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui was certain that this wouldn’t be a simple matter. He could only say, “Big sister, would you be willing to leave a few drops of your blood here? I’ll try to test to see if I can find out what kind of poison it is.”
