Chapter 82
Aunt Qian rested for several days. Gu Linqiao looked back at the old lady at home for several days, but didn't see her, so she asked.

The old lady sighed and explained all the reasons.

Gu Linqiao felt strange in her heart and just said, "Mama Qian has always been very careful, but this is too careless. What if she gets into trouble?"

Gu Linqiao said, "I'd better go and have a look at her, in case the root cause of the disease is really revealed."

The old lady nodded, "That's okay. I made some blood-replenishing decoctions for her before, but it won't be a problem anyway."

Gu Linqiao said he understood and walked out the door to see Grandma Qian.

Aunt Qian lived in a side courtyard, quite far away from the old lady's house. She usually stayed with the old lady and rarely returned to this courtyard. It was only after Gu Linqiao left that she realized that this courtyard was quite remote.

However, after walking around, Gu Linqiao realized that although Aunt Qian's yard was far away from the old lady, it was quite close to Gu Qiheng's yard.

As soon as Gu Linqiao stepped in, she heard Grandma Qian coughing.

When she walked in, Nanny Qian was leaning on the bed drinking water. There was an empty bowl on the bed, as if she had just finished drinking medicine.

Seeing Gu Linqiao, Grandma Qian was a little surprised, "Eldest...eldest lady, why are you here?"

As Grandma Qian said, she was about to stand up. Gu Linqiao helped her lie down, indicating that he was here to treat her.

Aunt Qian had a touched expression on her face, "I'm fine, I just feel like sleeping in a daze these past two days. I was afraid that I might catch the cold and pass the illness, so I didn't go to take care of her."

Gu Linqiao listened quietly. Grandma Qian always seemed to care about the old lady. She had never felt that before, but since there was a gap in her heart, she felt hypocritical after hearing this.

Gu Linqiao took Grandma Qian's pulse, her face was very calm, and she didn't show any unnecessary expression.

Aunt Qian was indeed fine, but she did feel a little cold.

Gu Linqiao wrote a prescription for her and handed it to the maid nearby.

The maid took the prescription and did not rush to grab the medicine. Instead, she said to Aunt Qian, "Aunt Qian, the old lady said that you can rest in peace and recuperate. She is not in a hurry and allows you to take care of her. You can just take care of her in peace."

Aunt Qian nodded gratefully.

But just as Gu Linqiao and the maid left, Granny Qian had an expression of disgust on her face again.

Gu Linqiao left Granny Qian's house, abandoned the maid, and went to Zhang Xuerou's house again.

Zhang Xuerou also had a big bag on her head, and her face was haggard. She was sitting on the bedside, as if she had lost her soul. The meal she had left in the morning was still on the table.

Gu Linqiao's footsteps were deliberately heavier. Zhang Xuerou looked at her with surprise in her eyes. When she saw Gu Linqiao, her expression instantly became lonely.

"why you?"

Gu Linqiao sneered, "Don't you really want to see me or know how your daughter is doing?"

When Zhang Xuerou heard this, she quickly said, "What's wrong with Yun'er?"

Gu Linqiao said, "It's okay."

Zhang Xuerou was slightly relieved when she heard that she was fine, but seeing Gu Linqiao also made her feel uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do here?"

Gu Linqiao sat on a stool nearby and said in a nonchalant tone, "Don't do anything. I just saw Aunt Qian. She was injured, so she came to see you. It turned out that you were also injured. You said... Unlucky?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuerou's heart suddenly lifted, and her face became nervous involuntarily.

She subconsciously asked, "What does Grandma Qian's injury have to do with me?"

Gu Linqiao had a funny expression on his face, "Did I say I have anything to do with you?"

She looked at Zhang Xuerou, and the other person's obviously guilty expression made Gu Linqiao think twice.Zhang Xuerou quickly clarified, "Of course it doesn't matter. I got this injury accidentally."

Gu Linqiao looked at her and said, "What a coincidence, Grandma Qian said the same thing."

Zhang Xuerou's eyes were panicked, and she subconsciously tightened her clothes, exerting force all over her body unconsciously.

Her behavior fully demonstrated that there was something going on between her and Grandma Qian.

This was the scene Gu Linqiao didn't want to see the most, but it happened anyway.

Gu Linqiao didn't ask immediately. After saying this, she got up and left.

But just saying nothing made Zhang Xuerou panic even more.

She knew that Gu Linqiao must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have left so lightly.

So, is she going to tell the secret?
But when she thought of Gu Qiheng and Grandma Qian, she didn't dare.

As long as the truth is not revealed, there is still room for maneuver, but once it is revealed, everything will be gone.

Zhang Xuerou thought about it again and decided to endure it.

……

Gu Linqiao returned to the old lady's house with a calm expression. When the old lady asked about Grandma Qian's condition, she replied truthfully, "It's true that there is a bit of wind and cold. It has nothing to do with the injury on her head. Don't worry."

"It's fine."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and looked at ease, "She has been with me all her life. As she gets older, we are still a companion. If she has a bad relationship, I really can't stand it."

Gu Linqiao looked at her in surprise, "Grandma, is Grandma Qian so important to you?"

"As people get older, they miss the past."

After the old lady finished speaking, she added, "But if she commits something, I will definitely not tolerate her."

In her opinion, Nanny Qian was an honest person and could not commit any crime. Even if she really had any thoughts about the old Marquis, she would not be intolerant of it. After all, there were not many people in the world who remembered the old Marquis.

As she said that, the old lady gave her a strange look, "Why do you go home so frequently these days? Are you having trouble with the prince?"

Gu Linqiao said, "What quarrel can there be between me and the prince? The prince is busy with big things every day, and I am just bored. Come back to see you."

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and snorted, "What's so good about me? It's true that you hurry up and treat people. How is the condition of Mr. Yuwen, the elder?"

Gu Linqiao said, "It's a bit serious."

The old lady said, "If you can't see it anymore, just resign as soon as possible and don't embarrass yourself."

Gu Linqiao was a little surprised, "Isn't this something your old friend asked you to do? Why do you still extrapolate it?"

"If it can't be cured, it can't be cured. What's the point? You're not the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, so you can cure any disease?"

The old lady said seriously, "I promised you at the beginning that I would only send him here for a try. I didn't swear that you would cure him."

Hearing this, Gu Linqiao burst into laughter. It was rare for her grandmother to be so cute.

"Don't worry, I still have some ways to go. If there is really no other way, I will definitely ask them to hire someone else."

Although she said that, Gu Linqiao was thinking in her heart that no one else could cure this disease except her. If it really got to that point, she would be dead.

The old lady hummed, thought for a while, and then said, "If you find out anything about Grandma Qian, just deal with it and don't worry about me."
