Madam Qi was even more at a loss. Her fingers kept fiddling with her clothes, and she lowered her head to apologize. “I’m sorry, Xue’er. I was wrong…”
“Eldest Miss.” Nanny Sheng called out to Gu Qingxue, then shook her head at her.
“Grandmother, I’m not angry. Let’s continue eating first, okay?” Seeing Madam Qi like this, Gu Qingxue could not bear to continue criticizing her.
Judging from Madam Qi’s reaction, she could tell that she did npt do it on purpose. The poison in her body suppressed her rationality and made her do many things that did not conform to her own thoughts. She could completely understand this.
That was why Nanny Sheng had stopped her from criticizing Madam Qi.
Madam Qi observed Gu Qingxue’s expression and was relieved to see that she had indeed calmed down. She took a new pair of chopsticks from Nanny Sheng and began to eat happily.
“Eldest Miss, you’ve just returned from the palace and should not have eaten yet. Why don’t you eat with the Old Madam?” Seeing Gu Qingxue nod, Nanny Sheng quickly brought a set of cutlery over.
Seeing Gu Qingxue’s utensils being brought to the table, Madam Qi immediately picked up a piece of roasted chicken leg and placed it on Gu Qingxue’s plate.
Gu Qingxue looked at the roasted chicken leg, then turned to thank Niadam Qi. She then watched as Madam Qi lowered her head in satisfaction and continued to eat seriously.
She had been carefully observing Madam Qi’s condition the entire time. Gu Qingxue was finally relieved when she saw that Madam Qi did not show any signs of instability. After having breakfast with Madam Qi the two of them sat down in the hall and had tea together.
While drinking tea, Madam Qi kept rubbing her eyes. She was so sleepy that she could barely keep them open.
Taking in Madam Qi’s expression, Gu Qingxue advised, “Grandmother, if you’re tired, why don’t you go rest? Nanny Sheng, take grandmother to rest for a while.’
After nodding, Nanny Sheng walked up and helped Madam Qi up. “Old
Madam, let’s go and rest first?”
Madam Qi could not help but feel drowsy. Before she left, she didn’t forget to
look at Gu Qingxue and worriedly reminded her, “Xue ‘er, you have to wait for me, I’ll be back soon.’
Gu Qingxue acknowledged and watched as Nanny Sheng left with Madam Qi.
About fifteen minutes later, Nanny Sheng returned. She looked in Gu
Qingxue’s direction and walked up to her with a helpless expression. “Eldest Miss, you’ve also seen that the Old Madam’s condition is indeed worse than before.’
Gu Qingxue massaged the space between her brows and said, “It was clearly getting better before, how did it suddenly become like this?”
Nanny Sheng shook her head in confusion. “1 don’t know. The antidote is taken on time. Even if the Old Madam’s condition didn’t improve, it shouldn’t have gotten serious.”
“Perhaps the poison in grandmother’s body is not as simple as I thought. Nanny Sheng, 1 actually have a guess. I’m worried that the poison in grandmother’s body is Gu Poison.” Gu Qingxue said with a serious expression.
Nanny Sheng had never seen Gu Poison before, so she asked in confusion, “Eldest Miss, Gu Poison is not a very insidious thing. This old servant also heard that this thing can only be seen in the Southern Border. You can’t find it in other places even if you want to. However, the Old Madam has never been to the Southern Border.’
The Gu Poison from the Southern Border was famous all over the world, and many people were terrified of it. However, no matter how powerful the Gu Poison was, it still needed to be used on someone before it could be affect them. Madam Qi had been living in Jing City all this time and had never had the opportunity to get in touch with Gu Poison..
