Chapter 156: Knew The Divine Physician

She gulped. “Does Madam Gu’s sore throat have anything to do with me? I’m just an unwanted daughter-in-law! How could I harm my mother-in-law?

“Even if I was the one who poisoned her, how would I know that Madam Gu and Shen Ying would go for tea? Moreover, the doctors are all highly skilled doctors. How could they not have found out about this poison?”

Qiao Xi sighed helplessly. “Young Master Gu, it’s fine if you don’t believe me!”

Gu Zheng smiled lightly.

That’s right, there was a reason for Qiao Xi’s farce.

The doctors treating Madam Gu must be working for her.]

Firstly, they had to drink tea. Even if just one person drank it, Qiao Xi’s revenge could be considered a success.

At that time, when the doctors said that they were poisoned four hours ago, Gu Zheng found it a little strange. It was not some poisonous plant from an African tribe but just ordinary pollen.

The doctors were just playing along with Qiao Xi.

However, the people from the Medical Association had always been upright and honest. How could they possibly put on an act with Qiao Xi?

Gu Zheng sat down lazily without batting an eyelid. “There’s only one possibility. You’re also from the Medical Association, and your position is higher than theirs, so they have to listen to your orders.”

Qiao Xi was about to run when she heard Gu Zheng’s indifferent voice. She almost staggered and fell to the ground.

What was going on?

She wondered if Gu Zheng had installed surveillance cameras in her head. How did he know everything?!

She was indeed the one who got the doctors to help her put on an act. However, the pollen came from an African tribe. It was not poisonous, but when combined with honeysuckle tea, it would produce toxins. One’s face would be full of pustules, making it itchy and painful. After a few days, the toxins would naturally expel from the body.

Qiao Xi had planned it out since a long time ago. She thought in her heart that no one would suspect anything. She did not understand how Gu Zheng could have guessed it.

Gu Zheng said unhurriedly, “You knew that Madam Gu values her face the most. Furthermore, she’s arrogant. If she knows that she’s disfigured, she’ll definitely send someone to invite the people from the Medical Association.

“Moreover, the Gu family is a member of the Medical Association. Those three doctors have been waiting for a long time in the Medical Association. As long as someone from the Gu family goes over, they’ll take the initiative to follow them back here.”

Qiao Xi smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly shook her head. “Young Master Gu, you’re really funny. The doctors said that this poisonous powder has a pungent smell, but they didn’t smell it at all.

“I know they hate me, so I’ve been keeping my distance from them.”

Gu Zheng was helpless.

Well said!

This question stumped him.

Qiao Xi had time to poison them, but the poison powder had a smell and there were surveillance cameras everywhere. How could they not have noticed?

Qiao Xi smiled and revealed an aggrieved expression. “Young Master Gu, I really wasn’t the one who poisoned them. It was Madam Gu who wronged me. I’m really too aggrieved! I’m very tired now. I’m going back to rest, alright?”

Unfortunately, even if Gu Zheng racked his brains, he would never have thought that she could insert the needles laced with poison into their bodies without them knowing.

Qiao Xi swaggered off.

Although Gu Zheng would not hurt her, there were some secrets that should not be casually disclosed. After all, she had not reached this extent of honesty with Gu Zheng.

However…

Qiao Xi was slightly hesitant.

Should she tell Gu Zheng? Actually, she still wanted to tell him.

Forget it. They were going to get a divorce in a year anyway. After their agreement ended, they would be strangers.

Third Brother told her not to be too serious, or she would be the one getting hurt in the end.

…

Song Shiyu was scared witless. “Young Master, I couldn’t spot her.”

Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. “You couldn’t spot her?”

He was sure that his deduction was correct. It was Qiao Xi who poisoned them, and she did it according to his deductions.

However, there were so many cameras but they could not capture any traces of her poisoning them.

Song Shiyu broke out in cold sweat. “Young Master, in my opinion, Young Madam was just venting her anger for you. Why do you have to prove that Madam was the one who poisoned them?”

Gu Zheng smiled.

He was not doing this to prove that Qiao Xi poisoned them. He was just curious about how many more secrets she had.

Not just anyone could enter the Medical Association. Moreover, Qiao Xi knew the divine physician.

Suddenly, Song Shiyu looked surprised. “Young Master, that man and Young Madam seem to be very intimate!”

Gu Zheng looked over.

…

At this moment, Qiao Xi was about to leave when a gentle voice sounded. “You’re Miss Qiao?”

Qiao Xi nodded. “Yes, you are?”

The person was full of smiles and looked elegant. “My surname is Lu. When I saw you, Miss Qiao, I thought you looked familiar.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

What?

Surnamed Lu? He wasn’t from the Gu family.

Those who could enter the Gu family must be either rich or powerful.

Third Brother said that the big shot’s fiancé was in the Gu family…

The man in front of her said that she looked familiar…
