Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Qilan and Qixue had already stepped forward and handed the gifts in their hands to the guards behind him.

At this age, Old Master Gu naturally likes the family happiness of having the younger generation around him. Seeing her coming with her grandson, he grinned happily. When he heard her words, a gleam of light flashed in his turbid eyes.

Then he said something meaningful, "The little girl has really recovered from her illness and has grown up a lot."

"People always have to improve after suffering a loss. Didn't the ancients say that every failure makes you wiser? Everyone likes smart children. You wouldn't like a stupid girl, would you?"

Mu Qingli came over with a smile to support him, and made a deliberately mischievous joke, not forgetting to brag about herself. Sure enough, this playful look made the old man laugh so hard that he let her support him into the house.

It was only later that she found time from the Ferry Pavilion to send someone to investigate and found out that not long after she left the Mu Mansion, people in the Princess's Mansion had wanted to secretly attack the Mu family. However, those people had been dealt with by the Gu family before they could alert the people she left behind.

This was a token of goodwill from Old Grand Tutor Gu to her in-laws. She appreciated it and also kept it in mind, reminding herself all the time not to let the Gu family suffer the same fate as in the previous life.

Gu Luoheng followed her into the house with a gentle look on his face. As soon as he entered, he raised his hand to ask for tea and even took over the maid's work.

It was rare for Mu Qingli to see him pouring tea for herself, so she didn't stop him. She rolled her eyes around in a playful mood, took the tea with a smile, and called out sweetly.

"Thank you, Brother Heng~"

This sound also made Gu Luoheng's pupils tremble slightly, and the ripples in his eyes slowly subsided. He rarely raised his lips and replied to her.

"You're welcome. Grandfather is right. Sister Ziyue has really grown up a lot. At least she is much more well-behaved than when she was a child."

This is a roundabout way of saying she is naughty~

Mu Qingli would still unconsciously reveal some of her true nature in front of people close to her. She stuck out her tongue at him playfully and didn't bother to argue with him. Then she cast her gaze at the old man above her and got straight to the point.

"Grandpa Gu, this time I came to see you for business, but I also wanted to ask you if there's anything wrong with your health."

As soon as she said this, the whole room suddenly fell silent. Gu Luoheng subconsciously raised his eyes to look at his grandfather not far away, his brows slightly frowned.

I haven't heard Grandfather say he's not feeling well these days? But Ali wouldn't make a fuss. Could it be that he's been so engrossed in his reading lately that he's completely ignored news from home?

Old Master Gu also narrowed his eyes, took a sip of the tea slowly, and then said with a smile, "Is the old man in good health? Why did you suddenly ask this, little girl?"

Feeling the gazes from above, Mu Qingli remained calm and smiled indifferently.

"I have a girl with good medical skills. How about you let her take your pulse first?"

"This servant pays respects to the old master. I have little medical knowledge, but I am willing to take the old master's pulse and find out what's going on."

Qilan even stepped forward with a smile, knelt down to greet him, and introduced herself.

It is said that doctors are good at observing, smelling, asking and feeling. That day in her own house, she unconsciously glanced at the old tutor and found that there seemed to be something wrong with his body. So she took the initiative to tell the girl after the coming-of-age ceremony, but the plan had already started by then, so she had to delay coming to take his pulse until now.

Old Master Gu looked at the little girl below with a gleam in his cloudy eyes, and remained silent.

Gu Luoheng frowned with some worry, and observed his grandfather's face carefully. He indeed looked a little listless. He waved away the extra servants in the room and asked with a serious face.

"Grandfather, are you really okay? If you're feeling unwell, don't hide it from your family!"

However, Old Master Gu's expression remained calm. He casually waved his hand, looked away, and sighed softly.

"The old man is old, and it's normal for people to feel a little uncomfortable when they get old. It's not a big problem, so you young people don't need to worry about it."

Mu Qingli's expression was also very calm. Even though he had said this, he did not back down and spoke in a gentle voice.

"I believe what the old master said, but as a junior, asking for your pulse is always a thoughtful gesture. It's just a pulse check, so you can't refuse it."

The master and servant worked in perfect harmony. Qilan didn't even wait for the old man to speak before she took the initiative to step forward and put a cushion on it, signaling the old man to put his hand on it.

If Gu Luoheng hadn't been worried about the old man's health, he would have almost smiled when he saw the master and servant like this. This really seemed like they were forcing something to do. I'm afraid the old man didn't even expect that the two of them had this trick.

Needless to say, Old Master Gu really didn't expect that she would use such a cheating trick to take his pulse. After looking at her for a while, he had no choice but to put his arm on her.

Qilan was very serious when taking the pulse. She had not been interested in anything else in recent years, but she was passionate about treating poisons and eating and drinking, and she had extraordinary talents.

"How is Grandpa Gu's health? Is it the same as you guessed before?"

Mu Qingli waited until she finished taking her pulse before asking with concern.

Before, when they were at the mansion, Qilan had guessed that there might be something wrong with the old man's health through observation, smell, questioning and palpation. That's why she so abruptly handed over the visiting card. After all, compared to outsiders, she trusted Qilan's medical skills more.

Qilan was already very experienced in taking pulses. She collected everything neatly and then knelt down to bow to the few people and began to explain seriously.

"Don't worry, young lady. I'm still here. It's true that the old man has been poisoned."

Poisoned? !

When Gu Luoheng heard these two words, his eyes sank, and his aura suddenly became cold. He spoke with a stern face.

"You mean to say someone poisoned Grandfather?"

Qilan calmly looked up and explained the situation to them in a neither hurried nor slow tone.

"That's right. This poison has been in the old man's body for many years. It is a little bit of poison that has slowly accumulated. As long as it touches the medicine or gets sick, the toxins will surge in the old man's body. Over time, the old man will slowly become sick and die.

This kind of poison is not noticeable on the surface. Even a normal doctor wouldn't be able to detect even a tiny amount of poison by taking the pulse. The person who poisoned the old man was extremely cautious."

Mu Qingli's face didn't look very good when he heard the news. He frowned slightly and helped her explain a few words, then knelt down to apologize.

"Qilan is a very good doctor. She also keeps some little creatures around her that are very sensitive to toxins. That's why she was able to detect that something was wrong with your body. This is a serious matter, so I had no choice but to bring her here. I hope you don't mind, Grandpa Gu."
