Gu Chaoyan had been feeling drowsy, but hearing what Mr. Zhao asked, she suddenly lost the sense of sleepiness.
“Pearl Poison? What are the symptoms?” Gu Chaoyan asked. She was not very familiar with the medical terms of this era, unless she knew what the symptoms were.
A couple of days ago, her space had been widened, and a small room appeared. There were a few books in the room and many of the books were about how to detoxify poison. Since she had been very busy with different things, she had not read the contents carefully, but since Mr. Zhao asked her all of a sudden… she might go inside and check out those books. Maybe she could find the solution there.
Zhao Yiqiu hesitated, but he had been thinking about this position during the past few days yet had gained no idea. Since Lady Chaoyan asked, she might have some clues?
He thought for a while and said, “The patient gets increasingly tired and soon loses all the strength in their limbs. Those are the current symptoms. It is a disease that causes people a great deal of pain.”
Gu Chaoyan frowned.
Magical water might help to detoxify the poison, or she could leaf through the books that newly appeared in the space.
However, she could not give a specific answer at the moment, so she said, “Please let me think about it first Mr. Zhao.”
That was what Zhao Yiqiu had expected. He nodded. “Thank you, Lady Chaoyan”
He still showed no expression on his face.
“It is okay.” Gu Chaoyan answered.
When Zhao Yiqiu left, Gu Chaoyan looked at his back, wondering what kind of words should be used to describe this man.
When Zhou Huaijin walked in, he saw this scene…
Gu Chaoyan was staring at the back of Zhao Yiqiu dumbfoundedly…
He could not help but get jealous, as he said, “Mr. Zhao is old enough to be your father, what are you staring at him for? Am I not better looking?”
Gu Chaoyan stopped staring at him and burst out into laughter. “You are the best looking one.”
That made Zhou Huaijin slightly satisfied. Zhao Yiqiu was a handsome man, but he looked too gentle, unlike Zhou Huaijin. Zhou Huaijin was quite confident about his appearance, but those were just pretentious words of jealousy.
He knew that Chaoyan was not into that man at all. So he did not dig into it.
“Feeling better?” Zhou Huaijin asked.
“Yes, much better.” Gu Chaoyan answered.
Zhou Huaijin felt assured. He had noticed that Gu Chaoyan looked more lively than before, so he said those words to amuse her. He was no longer feeling that worried any more.
Sword One came and poured him a cup of tea.
Zhou Huaijin sipped a cup of tea and said, “You are now living here, but we have few servants here, so I got some more people to help you. They are working in the kitchen and running errands. Sword One and Qing would be serving you as usual, you are used to them.”
“Okay.” Gu Chaoyan answered relaxedly. She was used to Zhou Huaijin’s care.
She took hold of Zhou Huaijin’s hands, then she told him her plan. “I am going to the Government Office tomorrow, to sue my father.”
Zhou Huaijin was surprised. For one moment, he could not think of what she was going there for.
“I am suing my father to take possession of my mother’s dowries. I am going to get my doweries back.” Gu Chaoyan reminded him.
