77 Chapter 77 A Warning
“Doctor Gu…” Miss Liu looked at him with a sad expression and tears in her eyes.
Gu Chengrui did not give her another chance to show her ‘charm’ and rejected her again, “Since Miss Liu isn’t here for a consultation, please leave.”
After that, he turned around and went home.
Seeing this, Miss Liu wanted to stop him, but Er Zhuang once again bared his teeth and barked at her.
Seeing this, the maidservant at the side said, “Young miss, in this servant’s opinion, we should leave. We can send Doctor Gu for a follow-up examination when the ointment is gone.
“Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the villagers recognized us.”
Miss Liu looked around and saw many children and women staring at them curiously.
Then, she looked at Er Zhuang, who was still trying to rush at her, and a malicious look flashed in her eyes. She looked like a completely different person from her weakling self just now.
But in the end, she nodded, turned around, and left in her carriage.
After they left the village, Miss Liu looked at the maidservant and said, “Cui ‘er, go back and find someone to poison that vicious dog of theirs to death.”
“Yes, miss.” Cui ‘er nodded. She was obviously used to this.
After that, she hesitated before saying. ” Young miss, how should we deal with that lady Gu? She is the wife of Doctor Gu. Furthermore, she is the daughter of the imperial physician Zhou. I’m afraid she is not easy to deal with. ”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Hasn’t my father always been suppressing the Gu family? When the time is right, he’ll give the Gu family a way out. By then, there’ll be plenty of people who can help me.”
“I understand. Miss, as expected of your smarts.” After Cui ‘er finished speaking, she obediently poured Miss Liu a glass of water.
When they arrived in town, they took a detour and entered the back door of the Qiao family’s residence.
Gu Chengrui did not know about Miss Liu’s scheme, but he would not take it to heart even if he did. He did not want to cause trouble all this time because they just wanted to live a simple and warm life.
However, he would not let it be if trouble came knocking on his door.
Therefore, when he returned to the kitchen, he smiled at Zhou Ying, who was still busy. Then, he turned around to get busy as well.
Two days later, Tian Jiawang came to pick up the goods. After that, he pulled Gu Chengrui aside and said, “Brother Gu, you guys should be more careful these days.”
“Brother Tian, did you hear something?” Gu Chengrui paused, turned his head and asked.
“I can’t say for sure, but someone asked for the recipe for the braised intestines, and I also saw strangers wandering around the village these two days. I can’t guarantee anything, but I just feel uneasy.”
“Who is it? When did he ask you for the recipe for the braised intestines?”
“When I started delivering the braised pork intestines, the tavern owner asked. But after I said it was troublesome, he didn’t ask again.
“Yesterday, I heard from the tavern owner that someone had been asking about the recipe for the past two days, and they’ve been going there to buy the pork intestines for the past two days. Every time they go, they’ll buy everything.”
“I understand. Thank you for telling me this, Brother Tian. You should take care of yourself too.”
“I will. Sorry to bother you.” Tian Jiawang said his goodbyes and pushed the small cart away.
Gu Chengrui stood in place and pondered for a moment. Those interested in the recipe for braised intestines were most likely in the food business.
It was more likely to be the restaurants in town.
Of course, the possibility of it being Hongyun Restaurant wasn’t high, as they could have just looked for them directly.
Who would it be…?
His heart stopped as he remembered that the Qiao family also had a restaurant. It seemed that he had to investigate it carefully, or he would be in a disadvantageous position.
Afterwards, he returned to the kitchen to load the goods he had prepared for Hongyun Restaurant and drove the donkey cart back to town.
