With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 72 072. Self-knowledge
At this time, there was a woman standing beside the bed, with a withered face and no expression on her face, she looked very dull, as if she had become numb to her own situation.

This must be his first wife—Liu Zhaoshi.

Liu Zhaoshi stood aside with her head lowered, her eyes were like pools of stagnant water, without any energy, and the man was still cursing at her, but she showed no sign of resistance at all.

Gu Xiaoxiao took a second look at her, but she only had the word "accept fate" in her eyes. This is a poor woman.

From the moment he entered the door just now, Gu Xiaoxiao keenly smelled a rotten smell of mold, which seemed to have existed for many years, and it might have something to do with the illness of the person on the bed.

Then Gu Xiaoxiao approached the man calmly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Master is well, I am the doctor who was brought in to treat you."

"Well, well, well! I'm not good! If you can't cure me, I'll let you be buried with me! Do you hear me clearly?"

Uncle Liu had been cursing non-stop and was very emotional, but now venting his anger at Gu Xiaoxiao is also his style.

As he said this, his eyes fell on Gu Xiaoxiao, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, and then he thought of his own body, and felt even more aggrieved.

According to his previous body, such a beautiful little girl must be brought into the mansion!

He also knew that since he got sick, the concubines in the backyard had all run away, he was angry, but he was helpless, he couldn't even get out of bed, and now he often fell asleep, how could he catch them back!
Thinking of this, he began to resent Mr. Liu. He was the head of the household and his own son. Now that he was so ill, the old man didn't care about him at all!

If their family is still in Bianjing, and they go to curry favor with the court officials and the person on the throne, there will definitely be a cure for their illness. Isn't the imperial physician in the palace better than the third-rate doctor in this poor place? !
It's good now, and I still need to send people to catch doctors everywhere to treat myself.

Back then, he really wanted to find a position in the court, but the old man said that he had a bad brain and was not suitable to be an official in the court. If he went to tm, he had a bad brain.Is that the boy in the second room? !
I don't know what the old man thinks, he is so kind to the concubine and grandson of Erfang, but he doesn't care about his own son.

After the old man passed away, the family was going to be handed over to him. The grandson who loved him so much was only suitable for humiliating him!
Thinking of this made him feel relieved.

In fact, he didn't know that it wasn't that Mr. Liu didn't want to take care of him, it was just that he was powerless. The old man's body was actually at the end of his strength.

Even so, the old man knew that he was ill and used his contacts to find medicinal materials for him!
Sometimes he even gave him the century-old ginseng that he also needed, but he didn't know it!
He has always only cared about his own interests, and never put his mind on his father, and he didn't even know that his father was already sick.

I thought Mr. Liu was just looking after his life!
Gu Xiaoxiao listened to his threatening roar, her expression was still calm, without any waves, she said extremely calmly: "Listen clearly."

She lowered her head and asked for instructions: "Then can I treat you now?"

Uncle Liu raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, and said very irritably, "Come on! Come on!"

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care about his tone, but after getting permission, she lowered her eyes and got closer to him, and put her hand on the wrist that was outstretched, calmly and carefully inspecting it.

Gu Xiaoxiao felt his pulse and found that his illness was rooted in his descendants.

It really is retribution!
It seems that he has done a lot of burning, killing and looting. The concubines he took in before must have been forced by him, and he has done a lot of intercourse, otherwise his body would not have suffered such a loss. After all these years, he still If it doesn't get better, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed in the future!
Excessive indulgence, playing with flowers, lower body infected with germs, treated immediately in the past, and may recover if he does not have sex later.

But after so many years, I missed the best treatment period, and continued to indulge myself after getting sick, spending time and drinking, and even my anger and dry fire were strong, and my insides were almost burned.

Now you don't need to look at it to know that his lower body has festered badly, making it difficult for his legs to move, so naturally he can't get out of bed and walk around.

The lingering and long-lasting rotten smell he smelled just now came from his lower body.

From the point of view of doctors in this world, he can only use ginseng to support his body all the time, and it must be a century-old ginseng, otherwise it will be useless.

Looking at his pulse condition, there are traces of century-old ginseng in his body. It seems that he also treated in the same way in previous years.

This reminded Gu Xiaoxiao of her previous conjecture again, and now there is a high probability that she can prove that all the medicinal materials she sold were given to this uncle of the Liu family!
Looking at the face of the person on the bed, Gu Xiaoxin felt a little disgusted.

Such an evil person blinded her so many medicinal materials for nothing!She wished she hadn't sold it back then!
And the intercourse he still does will only bring great harm to those girls, and he can hang his life with century-old ginseng, but those girls who were spoiled by him probably lost their lives long ago!

Such a person, who has harmed so many people, is not worthy of sympathy!

In fact, from her point of view, the disease is not incurable. After removing the source of infection, and then adding more treatments, according to her modern technology and self-made medicine, there is definitely a possibility of recovery.

only……

Just talking about Gu Xiaoxiao, he is not willing to perform this operation himself.

She is not a doctor in the true sense, but her identity is a secret agent. In the eyes of no doctor, there are only patients and no distinction between men and women.

On the contrary, she has always acted according to her own will. She will not be cured if she does not want to be treated. Her medicine and medical skills are to save good people who are suffering. This person is not a good person!
Gu Xiaoxiao pretended to open his eyelids to check, taking this opportunity to wave the drug in his fingertips, he was no longer so excited, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and then fell asleep.

He can escape by himself when he is in a coma, and the doctors outside will not be tortured by him.

Those people are already scared enough, if they know that this person is awake, they will be scared out of their wits!
It's just that Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes fell on the sleeping face of the uncle of the Liu family, and he was slightly taken aback. He felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Liu Siyuan just now, but it was very subtle.

But at this time, looking at the appearance of the uncle of the Liu family, Gu Xiaoxiao took a closer look.

Like, a little more familiarity than Liu Siyuan!
At this time, Liu Zhaoshi was still standing aside, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't have a chance to think about it, but she was a little puzzled, who did she look like?
Just for a moment, Gu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and suppressed the doubts in her heart.

Seeing that he was unconscious, Gu Xiaoxiao stood up and turned to look at Liu Zhaoshi who was beside the bed.

Liu Zhao seems to be no stranger to the sudden lethargy of Uncle Liu's family, after all, he would have been like this before.

Feeling Gu Xiaoxiao's gaze, Liu Zhaoshi raised his lowered head slowly, met those clear and bright eyes, and paused slightly.

She thought that Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to discuss her husband's matter with her, so she thought about it and said, "Doctor, how is his condition? Can it be cured?"

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I can't cure it!"

Liu Zhaoshi didn't expect her to be so calm and direct. She shook her body and looked at the person on the bed. Seeing that her eyes were closed tightly and there was no sign of waking up, she relaxed her body and breathed an invisible sigh of relief.

She lowered her head again, with the previous numbness of "accepting fate" on her face again, she said softly, "Please, please go quickly, while he is still asleep."

Seeing her like this, Gu Xiaoxiao knew that she was frightened by the way Uncle Liu's punished the doctor in the past, and she did not comment on Uncle Liu's condition.

She didn't move, she didn't leave, she just stared straight at Liu Zhao Shi, this woman is considered a good woman with a very kind heart, she shouldn't be tied up here like this, but I don't know how much courage she has to reconcile, If she is firm enough, she is willing to help her!
"Do you want to get out of here?" she asked.

She said it very directly, she felt that Liu Zhaoshi would not spread it to the outside world, even if it did, she would not be afraid!
She is happy to persuade people to break up but not to make peace, and she really can't see a good-hearted person suffering any more.

Hearing this, Liu Zhao raised her head again, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and then dimmed again. She glanced at the person on the bed, and said sullenly, "Doctor, be careful with your words."

Gu Xiaoxiao knew that she was afraid that the person on the bed would suddenly wake up and hear these words.

He must have been bullied to a serious degree before, so he is afraid of this.

And she didn't miss the flash of light in her eyes just now.

She said softly: "Don't worry, I know what you are worried about. If he can't wake up, are you really willing to stay by his side? It's okay if he treats you well, but in reality?"

After a pause, she said again: "You know what you are cold and warm, I think you must know it in your heart."

Liu Zhaoshi didn't say anything, but her expression became more troubled. She didn't have any hope at first, she knew that she might not be able to reconcile in this life, but now she really wanted to resist one last time!
Seeing her like this, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more. After changing the subject, she asked, "What do you think of Mr. Liu?"

Mrs. Liu Zhao was taken aback, as if she didn't expect Gu Xiaoxiao to ask this question, and after thinking about it, she replied, "Father, he is a very good person. Me, he used to know that my husband took a concubine, and punished him severely because of me, but my husband wouldn't listen to him...now...he's not feeling well, and he doesn't care about too many things, I seldom bother him either!" When mentioning Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu had a slight smile on her lips, presumably these words came from the heart, Mr. Liu treated her really well.

Liu Zhaoshi didn't know why, facing the clear eyes of the young girl in front of her, she opened her heart unconsciously, maybe it was suppressed for too long, and there was no one to confide in, finally someone would take the initiative to listen to what she had to say , then involuntarily said more.

After she realized something was wrong, she closed her mouth and lowered her head.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about Mr. Liu's health. If he is in good health, you can go and talk to him about reconciliation! If you don't want to leave here, then pretend I didn't say it!"

To reconcile, the best way is to find Mr. Liu, and Mrs. Liu may have taken care of Mr. Liu's health before, so they never told Mr. Liu about it.

Gu Xiaoxiao has long thought about going to see Mr. Liu's body, because he was able to retreat from Bianjing clearly and clearly back then. This kind of courage is beyond the reach of most people, and she has some admiration.

For such a transparent person, she must try her best to heal him, not to mention, he is the backer of her little apprentice!

Curing Mr. Liu will do no harm to the little apprentice!

As far as Liu Zhaoshi is concerned, only when the old man is in good health can he make decisions for her, and it will be easier to reconcile and leave.

But she also needs to think clearly that reconciliation will set her free, but the criticism and insults she will endure after reconciliation must also be indispensable.

This is the case in this era. There is a deep-rooted prejudice against women. They don't ask the facts, and they don't ask about the history. They don't care how the women are hurt. , It's really unreasonable to be wandering in your heart.

But the social environment is like this.

How to make a choice still depends on Liu Zhao's own choice.

Afterwards, Gu Xiaoxiao got up and left, leaving Liu Zhaoshi tangled in a daze.

As soon as he went out, he saw Liu Siyuan's straight back.

As if hearing movement behind him, Liu Siyuan turned around and saw Gu Xiaoxiao walking out gracefully.

He also had a smile on his immature face.

"Master, how is it? He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Liu Siyuan asked.

"No, your master, I'm not someone who can be manipulated by others, you don't have to worry about me!" Gu Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

Liu Siyuan took a closer look at Gu Xiaoxiao's face, seeing that there was really no bad emotion, so he was relieved.

Gu Xiaoxiao said immediately: "Can you take me to Mr. Liu's place to have a look?"

She is going to see Mr. Liu's illness.

Liu Siyuan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the master wanted to see his grandfather.

He and his uncle didn't deal with each other in the first place, and the reason why he came back from the town on leave this time was because of his grandfather!
He heard from the servants who reported that his grandfather's illness was already very serious, so he didn't tell him before in order not to worry him.

Now it was because of his uncle's illness that he was asked to come back to take a look. The old man missed him, but he was embarrassed to say that maybe he also realized that he didn't have a long life to live, so he wanted to see him.

If he hadn't forced his servants to reveal his grandfather's illness, he wouldn't have known that his grandfather was already so serious!

He knew that because of the relationship between the first and second house, his grandfather would not intentionally bring him back for the sake of Da Bo. It must be because his grandfather had something to do, so he forced the servants who went to report.

Originally, he also planned to go to his grandfather after watching his uncle, but now that the master is here, maybe he can show it to his grandfather.
