Chapter 123 Hidden

Gu Lianshan spat at him and said, "Go and take a look in the main hall. Dad has been so angry at you that his chest pain has worsened. Now he can't even get out of bed! Mom is half dead! The left side of her body has lost all response, including her left hand, left foot, and left face!

Doctor Gu said that if I could buy good medicine and take care of myself every day, maybe I could recover a little in the future. But if I don't have money for medicine, I'll just be paralyzed in bed for the rest of my life!"

Gu Liansheng's face turned pale. This was the first time he heard of this. Gu Lianshan had not told him before.

He couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it. Everything was fine before, how could it be so serious?
The old couple had always been able to eat and drink well, and they didn't do much work on weekdays. They were the ones who took care of everything at home. They weren't tired or hungry, they just got angry a few times, so how could they be so seriously ill?
Is it just because of those few times when I got angry?
Gu Liansheng's eyes lit up. "It's all your second wife's fault that makes mom and dad angry! Especially your daughter, she's a troublemaker! She's the one who makes mom and dad angry! I think she's deliberately trying to piss them off to death! Hurry up! Have your daughter bring some money to pay for mom and dad's medical treatment!"

"Who said it was my daughter who was angry?" Gu Lianshan sneered and pointed outside.

"Go ask around in the village. Everyone knows now that it was you, a scholar, who made my parents sick! Even the clan leader believes it. You want to put the blame on my daughter? Even if you shout it all over the village, no one will believe you!"

Gu Liansheng was stunned for a moment and didn't understand the meaning of these words at first.

When he slowly came to his senses, he reached out and grabbed Gu Lianshan's arm with bloodshot eyes: "How dare you confuse right and wrong and put the blame on me?!"

Gu Lianshan shook off his hand, looking sly and nagging, "I learned this from you. Ever since I was little, you've been treating me like this in front of my parents. Look how angry you are! If I were this angry with you, I would have died of anger years ago!"

Gu Liansheng got even angrier after hearing this!

Although his illness was gradually getting better, he still felt dizzy and had tinnitus due to the anger, and the nausea that had not appeared for a long time came back again, which made Gu Liansheng shocked and scared.

Gu Lianshan saw him retching a few times, turned around and shouted outside, "Girl! Your uncle is sick again! Hurry and bring the medicine in!"

"Hey! Here I come!" Gu Tang responded loudly from outside with a smile in his tone.

But the smile on Gu Liansheng's lips was malicious.

He was lying on the edge of the bed when he suddenly looked up and asked, "What medicine?"

"Your medicine, don't you want to take it? I've made it for you."

Gu Liansheng was shocked. "How did you get my medicine? I clearly asked Tianbao to make it!"

Gu Lianshan sighed pretentiously, "You've been lying in bed doing nothing all day, so you're oblivious to what's happening outside. Your son isn't a coward. He was worried about his elder and second sisters going into the mountains to chop firewood, so he followed them. My daughter helped you make the medicine while she watched over the fire."

Before he finished speaking, the curtain at the door was lifted and Gu Tang came in with a bowl of medicine, a smile on his face.

Gu Liansheng saw Gu Tang and was in a trance, as if he saw an evil ghost demanding his life. He was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly: "Take the medicine away! I feel better now, I won't take it today..."

"Uncle, the medicine is already brewed. If you say you don't want to take it, then what should I do with it? I bought it with money. If it spills, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

Gu Tang put away the smile on his face, took a few steps forward, handed the medicine to Gu Liansheng, and said in a cold tone: "Uncle, in order not to waste money, I think you should take it."

"My daughter is right, eat it quickly! Don't force me to do it!" Gu Lianshan's face turned unhappy. He rolled up his sleeves and looked threatening.

Gu Liansheng was even more afraid to eat it now!

The medicine in this bowl is definitely not his medicine! It's most likely poison! The father and daughter wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two elders in the family were ill and unable to get up, and take the opportunity to poison him!

Gu Liansheng became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He quickly jumped out of bed barefoot and ran out like crazy!

The father and daughter in the room looked at each other.

Gu Tang asked her father hesitantly, "Tell me, did my uncle misunderstand and think we were bringing poison and wanted to kill him?"

Gu Lianshan paused and said, you know what, this is really possible!
Then he cursed, "What an idiot! With that kind of brain, he dared to brag in front of me just now, saying he passed the imperial examination. Pah! No one would believe him!"

After saying this, Gu Lianshan turned around and chased after him.

Gu Tang followed, holding the coptis juice in his hand. He had to drink it after making it with great difficulty!
When the father and daughter chased out, Gu Liansheng had already hidden in the west room of the main hall.

The west room of the main hall was where Gu Liansheng lived before he got married, and he didn't move into the room after he got married.

Mrs. Feng couldn't bear to see her eldest son and his wife sleeping in the same room every night, so she deliberately left the furnishings in the room there, and from time to time she would call her son to come and sleep with her for a night, saying that she missed her son and didn't want him to be so far away from her.

Before Wei gave birth to the child, Gu Liansheng seldom came here to sleep. After Wei gave birth to the child, she gained some weight and the fat on her belly piled up into circles. Gu Liansheng felt a little disgusted and often came here to sleep.

So there were beddings in the room, and Gu Liansheng wouldn't be cold even if he hid inside. It was also because of this that no matter how much the father and daughter knocked on the door outside, he refused to open it.

"There's no other way. I can't just break down the door and drag him out. It's not worth it! His life isn't worth a door! Just wait. When he gets really hungry, he'll open the door and come out on his own."

Gu Lianshan tried to appease the furious Gu Tang, took the medicine bowl from her hand, pointed to the east wing, and whispered, "While no one is in the east wing right now, search that room for all the medicine!"

Gu Tang felt happy, and his expression instantly improved. He trotted to the east wing.

Gu Qing had gotten all of Gu Liansheng's medicines, more than ten packets in total. But Gu Liansheng felt that the more he took, the faster he would recover. Now, there were only five packets left.

Including the pack that Gu Tianbao had brought earlier, there were six packs left.

In other words, Gu Liansheng took almost half of these medicines.

Gu Tang didn't know this and thought there were only a few packages, so he piled them together and would take them back to his room later.

Right now, she has other things to do.

Her father's words just now reminded her that the eldest family was not in the house at the moment, and she had to take the opportunity to plunder back the silver that Wei had stolen before!

Looking around the room where Wei lived, Gu Tang's eyes fell on the locked cabinet at the head of the bed.

Although Wei loved dressing up, she didn't actually have many clothes. She only had a few sets of clothes that she wore over and over again. Every time she wore them for a walk outside, she would go back to the house to change out of them and keep them properly.

Gu Tang calculated that all of Wei's clothes and skirts were worth no more than one or two taels of silver, and Zhang said that Wei took half of the silver from her, which Gu Tang believed.
