After a long while, the doctor took his pulse back and put down Gu Anqing's sleeve. His movements were neither hurried nor slow, as if every step had its own rhythm.

Gu Cheng asked anxiously, "Doctor Liu, how is the young master's health?" His voice was filled with unconcealable worry.

Chang Qing also stared at the doctor's face nervously, waiting for his answer. Gu Anqing guessed from the doctor's calmness that there should be nothing wrong with his body.

"I've already found someone to detoxify you. Why are you in such a hurry to call me here?" Doctor Liu said slowly.

"That's good, that's good. It seems that Miss Lin is really capable." Gu Cheng finally showed a relieved smile on his face. His mood had gone through ups and downs throughout the day.

Gu Anqing nodded in agreement, "The legendary witch doctor is indeed worthy of his reputation."

"What witch doctor? Which witch doctor?" The doctor heard Gu Anqing's words clearly, and immediately stood up and asked repeatedly, "Young Master, are you talking about the witch doctor in the Nalan Mountains?"

"It's exactly the witch doctor that Doctor Liu was thinking of." Chang Qing said from the side.

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Liu quickly picked up the medicine box and hurried out the door. His urgent shouting came from outside the door, "Hurry up and send someone to lead the way. Who came back with the young master just now? Take me there quickly!"

Gu Anqing sighed and said, "Doctor Liu is still strong despite his old age."

"This Doctor Liu usually speaks and walks slowly. I suspect he will die next." Chang Qing opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief, "Now it seems that he is always pretending."

"Hmph, you little brat, what do you know? Doctor Liu has made some progress in his internal martial arts training. How can you say he will die in the next step?" Gu Cheng glared at Chang Qing and taught him a lesson.

"Hehe, I was wrong. Uncle Cheng, please don't hold it against me." Chang Qing said with a grin.

Gu Anqing thought about the diagnosis of Dr. Liu just now, which showed that the poison in his body had been cured. He could not help but have more confidence in the medicine that Lin Qiuer had asked for from the witch doctor. Could this medicine also cure the poison in his grandfather's body? Even if it could not completely eliminate it, it could at least alleviate the pain of the poison.

Every time Grandpa had an attack of the poison, his body would become weaker, and he was really worried that Grandpa wouldn't be able to hold on.

"Uncle Cheng, I think the recent events all point to one thing, that is, the Gu Mansion is being targeted." Gu Anqing said to Gu Cheng, with a dark and uncertain light flashing in his eyes, "Have someone conduct a thorough investigation of the mansion and clean up the spies who were left behind before. Also send people outside the mansion to investigate and see if you can find any clues."

"I'll take care of these. You dare to attack the Gu Mansion. You are like a tiger that doesn't show its power. You really think we are sick cats." Gu Cheng said angrily, and then he became a little worried. "It seems that you haven't found the medicine that Doctor Liu mentioned. What should we do if the master is poisoned this time?"

"Uncle Cheng, have you forgotten the three siblings of Miss Lin who came back with me today?" Gu Anqing explained, "Before coming back, Miss Lin had agreed to ask the witch doctor for an antidote. You may not know that I couldn't move this morning, but after taking the antidote pill given by Miss Lin, I can now move my wrist."

Gu Cheng was surprised and asked repeatedly in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"

Before Gu Anqing could answer, Chang Qing on the side nodded repeatedly and said proudly, "Really, really. Pearls are not so real. Less than two hours after the young master took the detoxification pill, his fingers could move, and now both hands can move. In fact, I think if the young master takes another pill, he might be able to walk when he wakes up tomorrow morning."

Gu Cheng widened his eyes in shock, and thought to himself: Wow, I didn’t expect this to be such a capable little girl.

"From the very beginning, the two brothers of the Lin family obeyed Miss Lin's words. Although there is also an element of love between the brothers for their sister, I guess Miss Lin may have a special status in the village." Gu Anqing continued.

“You are...you are saying...?” Gu Cheng was so shocked by the meaning of the words that he couldn’t speak clearly.

Chang Qing stared at Gu Cheng, waiting for his next words, but he didn't continue.

Gu Anqing shook his head slightly, signaling with his eyes that Gu Cheng couldn't continue, "Uncle Cheng, walls have ears. Although we are in the mansion now, we can't even find any clues about Grandpa's poisoning, so it's better not to say some things casually."

Gu Cheng immediately shut up, glared at Chang Qing, and said, "Did you hear that? Even if you know, you can't say it out loud. Just know it in your heart."

Chang Qing looked confused. What did he know? He knew nothing.

"Since you need help, I have to instruct the kitchen to prepare the best food." Gu Cheng said as he hurriedly left Gu Anqing's room and headed for the kitchen. As he walked, he thought to himself: If you eat someone's food, you will be soft-hearted. No matter what, the first thing to do is to give them a good meal.

Chang Qing looked at Gu Anqing in a daze, his eyes full of questions, after all, he had said what he couldn't say.

Since Gu Anqing was poisoned, he has not been able to rest properly except when he was in a coma. Moreover, in the mountains, he cannot bathe and change clothes every day like he does in the mansion. Now that he is finally back home, he can't suppress the urge to freshen up. Besides, he still has to meet Miss Lin and the others later, so he can't go there in this sloppy look, right?

Thinking of this, he said to Chang Qing, "Go and ask someone to bring hot water over, and then help me bathe and change clothes."

"Okay." Chang Qing was curious about what the young master and Uncle Cheng meant in their conversation just now, but his first priority was to take care of the young master, and everything else could be discussed later.

The entire Qinghui Garden became lively because of Gu Anqing's return home.

On the other side, Lin Qiuer and her two siblings came to the reception room under the guidance of the servants.

Looking around, I saw a spacious and simple hall with low-key furnishings. An ink painting of an unknown landscape hung on the wall.

Lin Qiuer walked to the center of the hall, found a chair and sat down at random. She took a deep breath and felt exhausted all over.

"Are you tired?" Lin Nanye walked to Lin Qiuer and asked with concern.

At this time, several servants brought hot water and plates of snacks and placed them on the table in the reception room. "The three guests, please have some hot water and snacks first. The kitchen is preparing the food and it will be delivered as soon as it is ready."

"Okay. Thank you all for your help." Lin Qiuer said politely.

After the servants left, Lin Qiu'er and the other two walked to the table and sat down. Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue brought her hot water and snacks respectively, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Third and fourth brothers, you guys should eat too, don't just give it to me." Lin Qiu'er took the hot water, blew it gently, and drank a mouthful. The warm feeling made her feel comfortable and temporarily forgot her fatigue.

After drinking a few sips of hot water, Lin Qiuer finally felt alive again. She picked up the snacks at hand, and a tempting aroma hit her nose. These snacks were made very delicately and smelled good, but they tasted a bit greasy.

Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue watched Lin Qiuer eat snacks before they drank water and ate snacks on their own.

Everyone in Nalan Village is a big eater. Their dry food had been consumed halfway through the journey. Although these snacks were delicious to them, the quantity was obviously not enough.

For a moment, the only sounds in the living room were the sounds of chewing and swallowing.
