Many doctors surrounded Huang Lilan to check her pulse and blood. They checked her entire body and finally came to a conclusion—Madam Gu was not sick. Her body was very healthy. She was not poisoned, and there were no other problems.

The doctors had also seen a lot of scheming in wealthy families. At this moment, they could not help but suspect that Huang Lilan was deliberately pretending to be sick to achieve a certain goal.

Old Madam Gu’s personal doctor was the oldest and had the highest reputation. Seeing Huang Lilan crying and shouting, he frowned and said, “Madam Gu, there’s nothing wrong with your body. It’s better not to waste time. I originally wanted to do a check-up on Old Madam Gu. If I miss the best timing and it causes Old Madam Gu’s body to be damaged, can you bear the responsibility?”

“I’m really sick! I was poisoned! My whole body hurts! You’re all quacks. You can’t even find out that I’ve been poisoned! A bunch of trash!” Huang Lilan lay on the bed and roared.

“Madam Gu!” Hearing Huang Lilan’s curses, the doctors were instantly angry. “We’re all famous doctors in the medical world. If we don’t have the ability, the Gu family wouldn’t have invited us over. If you don’t believe our diagnosis, you can get someone else to take a look at you. We don’t have to waste time here.”

“We can’t treat your illness, so it’s useless for us to stay here. Madam Gu, you should find another doctor to prevent your illness from worsening. You can’t blame us for this!”

“Madam Gu, you should probably seek treatment for your mental state. Only you know what you’re thinking!”

With that, everyone stood up and left the main residence. Huang Lilan’s eyes were filled with resentment as she gritted her teeth.

Impossible! Qiao Xi had clearly poisoned her. She was in pain and her body was burning. Why couldn’t these doctors find anything?

Qiao Xi, that b*tch!

She had poisoned her once before, but she accused Huang Lilan of framing her daughter-in-law. This time, she poisoned her again. There were so many doctors, but they could not find any illness.

Qiao Xi was a freak. No wonder Gu Zheng liked her. The two of them were the same.

The next day.

On the day of the birthday banquet, all the guests came to congratulate the Gu family. The Gu family was extremely lively.

Qiao Xi was entertaining guests in the front hall when she bumped into Huang Lilan. She was dressed very gorgeously today and had exquisite makeup on. She was forcefully enduring the pain in her body and chatting with everyone.

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. Huang Lilan was quite capable. She was actually able to appear in front of everyone while enduring the pain. Her forbearance was indeed shocking.

The poison she poisoned Huang Lilan with was not a traditional poison. It was just a drug that stimulated the nerves. It would cause one to hallucinate from intense pain, but it would not affect the body at all. Hence, the doctors failed to realize that she had been poisoned.

Yesterday, Qiao Xi told Huang Lilan that she had been poisoned, so she was already psychologically influenced. Coupled with the effects of the drug, it made her think that her body was in intense pain. This kind of pain was very similar to the real thing. Moreover, this kind of pain would change according to one’s imagination. It could be the pain of being whipped, a burning sensation, or the feeling of being cut.

Huang Lilan’s words yesterday had really angered Qiao Xi. For the sake of taking revenge for Gu Zheng, Qiao Xi had scattered a little more medicinal powder this time. She would be in pain for at least two to three days. Unexpectedly, in order to protect her position as Madam Gu, Huang Lilan actually endured the intense pain and came out to welcome the guests.

Qiao Xi sized up Huang Lilan, then her gaze landed on Shen Ying, who was beside her. Gu Zheng also saw Shen Ying and looked at her.

A moment later, Shen Ying excused herself to go to the bathroom and walked out of the banquet hall. She came to the backyard and said while trembling, “President Gu…”

“Miss Shen, let me remind you that there were conditions for letting you go that day. If you can’t do as per my instructions, I might take your life at any time.”

Shen Ying took a few steps back in fear and trembled. “President Gu, w-what do you want me to do?”

“What did Huang Lilan tell you?” Gu Zheng asked.

Shen Ying did not hesitate at all and said something in a low voice. When Gu Zheng heard this, a trace of danger flashed past his eyes.

Huang Lilan was really a disgusting woman. Such a dirty and vicious woman should not be living in this world. Today, he would take the place of the real Gu Zheng to get rid of this dirty woman!

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and instructed coldly, scaring Shen Ying so much that she knelt on the floor. “President Gu, I beg you. Don’t do this to me. Chairman Gu is old enough to be my father. How can I…”
