Chapter 97: 88 Mother and Daughter (First Update)_3
This kind of infusion tube is specially prepared for those desperate men in the organization. It is harder than the ordinary ones, and can be used for killing. It was beyond Gu Jiao’s expectations that she would use it to save a life instead.
Gu Jiao took out a bag of sodium chloride solution and connected it to the other end of the tube.
She squeezed the bag, quickly pouring the solution into the Yao Family mistress’s stomach.
Just as Gu Jiao started to pour in a second bag, the two little maids who had been dismissed by Madam Fang returned to the room.
Neither of them knew Gu Jiao, and they were instantly stunned by the scene before them.
“Who are you? What are you doing to the lady?”
Once they came to their senses, they lunged at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao couldn’t be interrupted by them. She swiftly kicked a chair and knocked them both to the ground.
Maid A: “Ah—”
Maid B: “Help! Someone is trying to murder the lady—”
Outside the room, Madam Fang’s hand shook. Already? They found out so quickly?
Mr. Gu had just finished interrogating maid Fang when he heard the little maids shouting. He rushed to the Yao Family mistress’s room and saw Gu Jiao pouring something strange into her nose.
When he left, the Yao Family mistress’s face was still normal, but now it was turning green and dark, as if she had been poisoned.
Could this girl really be poisoning her own mother?!
Mr. Gu was out of patience, his face turned to fury. He stormed over, “Stop what you’re doing!”
Gu Jiao ignored him and increased the pressure on the solution bag.
Seeing her intensify rather than stop, Mr. Gu was infuriated. He drew his whip and struck her thin back mercilessly.
The crack of the whip echoed sharply as it landed on Gu Jiao’s back.
This was not a common whip, it was a military execution whip.
Still, Gu Jiao didn’t let go of the Yao Family mistress.
Mr. Gu was furious. He reached out to grab Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao shot him a cold glare, “Get out of my way if you don’t want her to die!”
Mr. Gu was shocked immobile by her eyes and the murderous intent in them.
Finally, the last drop of fluid dripped into the Yao Family mistress, Gu Jiao pulled out the tube, propped the mistress up, pried her mouth open, and poked her throat with a finger.
The next second, The Yao Family mistress’s body shuddered and she vomited out the medicines and solution.
After she vomited, her face wasn’t green anymore, and her breath became more steady.
Meanwhile, Imperial Physician Chen arrived.
Looking at the scene in the room, he was a little bewildered.
He had just left after turning pills for the noblewoman. How come the noblewoman looked like she just came back from the dead, just after he left for a short time?
“Hey? Isn’t that the young pharmacist from Huichun Hall?” He recognized Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao didn’t speak, stood up indifferently, packed up her small first aid kit.
Imperial Physician Chen took Yao lady’s pulse, his eyebrows furrowed, “How did the consort get poisoned by Wutou?”
Mr. Gu’s brows furrowed in worry!
Imperial Physician Chen looked at Gu Jiao, then again at the medicine on the floor, and guessed what had happened, “You’re fortunate Lord invited this young pharmacist to induce vomiting timely for the consort, or else she would have died. It’s unbelievable. A mere pharmaceutical boy from Huichun Hall is so capable…”
Mr. Gu didn’t hear the rest of what he said, his mind was filled with the whip he had given her.
That whip, he did not use full strength, but still at least eighty percent…
Can’t you stubborn girl just openly explain things?
Must you be beaten?!
Mr. Gu didn’t want to admit he was wrong, it was obviously because she didn’t explain what was going on that made him misunderstood!
But why did he feel a little guilty?
Mr. Gu looked at Gu Jiao with a guilty conscience, about to say something, but Gu Jiao had already packed up her first aid kit and emotionless walked away.
The spring evening was warm, but her silhouette was chillingly cold.
