Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 455 - 381 Plot Twist_2

For example, after she helped Gu Yecheng go out, all the discomfort he had been feeling vanished.

In this situation, did Gu Yecheng take some medicine during that trip, or was it due to some other reason?

Old Xu laughed with a "hehe": "Xiaofeng, just as you said, it’s all a misunderstanding. Acheng only inadvertently bumped into someone because of his discomfort. As for this person here, probably someone reckless, aiming for the sky in one bound. Butler, take her away and deal with her properly. Such an embarrassing creature shouldn’t work here anymore."

Both useless creatures didn’t provoke any dislike from Gu Yecheng; if not useless, then what?

It was Gu Yecheng who fell ill, rather than standing here relaxed, showing no signs of distress.

The butler signaled the servants with his eyes, and several of them stepped forward, covered her mouth, and dragged her away.

"Mmph!"

"Since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s all go back and continue with the wedding feast," Old Xu waved his hand: "These unruly beings can’t even let us eat a meal in peace."

"Old Xu, you can’t be blamed for this. As for Young Master Gu’s reputation, no one could have predicted that these restless individuals would set their sights on him," Mr. Cheng hastily agreed.

"Playboy reputation?" Xiaofeng disliked what she heard: "Is that based on what you’ve personally seen Ye Cheng frivolously teasing women, or visiting the flower houses and brothels?"

Thinking of something, Xiaofeng looked at Elder Gu: "Grandfather, Acheng said that right after he finished his drink, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if thousands of ants were biting him. Grandfather, with your experience in this area, please check if there’s anything wrong with Ye Cheng’s wine cup." freewebnoveℓ.com

Elder Gu was very cooperative: "Alright, I’ll try."

With that, he approached Ye Cheng, asked him to extend his hand with fingers spread, pulled out a Silver Needle, and thrust it directly into Ye Cheng’s fingertip.

Yecheng’s mouth twitched.

Everyone was startled; to test for poison, shouldn’t the wine cup that Young Master Gu drank from be examined? Why test by inserting a needle directly into Young Master Gu’s finger?

This...

After inserting the needle, Elder Gu explained to everyone: "Because Ye Cheng just drank three cups, the wine must have already reached his bloodstream; I just need to test the blood for poison to determine whether the wine Yecheng drank had any issues."

"Elder Gu, although your medical skills are not bad, this method of testing doesn’t seem scientific. What if Young Master Gu’s blood is naturally toxic? Wouldn’t that frame the Xu Family?" Mr. Wan questioned Elder Gu’s approach.

"Taking him for medical examination is also fine," Elder Gu didn’t mind: "It’s just slower, but I’m not in a hurry. I can wait."

"Look, the Silver Needle is turning black, which means there are indeed toxins in Yecheng’s body, that’s why he felt so terrible just now. The onset of Yecheng’s poison coincidentally occurred when a servant caused trouble; Old Xu, your handling of this doesn’t seem quite right to me," Elder Gu looked calmly at Old Xu and offered a cool smile.

"There’s definitely nothing wrong with the wine at my house. Just now, everyone was drinking the same wine; how could there be a problem? Now, Old Gu, isn’t it that your grandson had an issue to start with, and you’re trying to pass the blame onto us?"

There was indeed something wrong with Ye Cheng’s drink, but it was impossible to detect, as the wine pot had been removed, and there was no way to find that kind.

"Look at Young Master Gu now, vigorous as a dragon and perfectly healthy, not at all like someone who’s been poisoned, and today is a day of great joy for the Men family. In my opinion, this is simply a misunderstanding, and there’s no need to bring it up again. What do you think, Old Xu?" Men Chao stood beside Old Xu, glanced at Xiaofeng and Gu Yecheng, and spoke indifferently.

Only then did Xiaofeng truly scrutinize today’s groom, with eyes sharp and profound. Such eyes had clearly been through countless trials and tribulations.

She seemed to have seen such eyes somewhere before.

Yes, from a client who came to place an order last year, especially those eyes, really too similar.

"Dispel the two servants who disturbed Young Master Gu, of course. This is our Xu Family’s oversight, giving them the opportunity to take advantage." Old Xu obviously understood the concept of quitting while ahead, especially since the other party was now throwing mud at him, which was not a good thing.

"I suggest we take him for a medical check-up to thoroughly determine if my husband has been poisoned. Otherwise, after leaving here, everyone will start gossiping, slandering about my husband having a playboy reputation, not even sparing the Xu Family servants. Ye Cheng cannot bear such a stain on his reputation," Xiaofeng declared.
