Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

"Qi'an, is there something urgent that you've come to see Miss Wen so early? I wonder if I can help you?" Gu Huaizhi asked with a smile, his eyes full of concern.

Xiao Qi'an also smiled and lied without changing his expression, "Miss Wen asked me to investigate some things before. Now that I have some leads, I was afraid that things might change if I delayed, so I came in a hurry. As for what I was investigating, Miss Wen instructed me not to disclose it casually. If Huaizhi is interested, he can ask Miss Wen."

Xiao Qi'an remained calm, showing no fear of his lie being exposed. He understood Gu Huaizhi and knew that Gu Huaizhi was not the type to pry into things. Moreover, since it concerned Chu Yun, Gu Huaizhi would definitely prefer Chu Yun to tell him everything herself rather than him asking her.

He wanted to take advantage of Gu Huaizhi's aloof nature to gain a slight edge in the upcoming competition—you and Chu Yun have your own little secrets that others don't know, but I do too.

Even if it's fake, it's useful as long as Gu Huaizhi believes it.

With just a few words, Gu Huaizhi was silenced and stopped asking further questions. His smile faded, "Since it's an important matter, I won't ask any more questions."

Having gained a slight advantage, Xiao Qi was satisfied and stopped provoking Gu Huaizhi. "Let's not talk about that for now. As you can see, Chu Wenshu has woken up, but he has no memory and knows nothing. Even if we tell him his true identity, we don't know the location of Poison Heart Valley, so we can't help him. It will be difficult for him to return safely. If something really happens to him, Poison Heart Valley will only turn against us."

I originally intended for him to rest and recuperate at Xiaoyue Manor until he regained his memories before making further plans. However, I didn't expect him to cling to Miss Wen so persistently. Given his status, if he continues to pester Miss Wen once he regains his memories, it will likely do her no good.

As the conversation progressed, Xiao Qi'an's tone grew increasingly harsh. Gu Huaizhi also felt that it was wrong to let Chu Wenshu get close to Chu Yun, and he understood Xiao Qi'an's unspoken meaning. So he asked, "What do you want me to do?"

“Huai Zhi understands me best.” Xiao Qi’an’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. If it weren’t for Chu Yun, why would he have schemed against Huai Zhi? “The Sage of Medicine is helpless against Chu Wenshu’s illness. Tell me, what disease in the world cannot be cured by the Valley of the Holy Physicians? There is only one…”

Gu Huaizhi finished the sentence for Xiao Qi'an: "Gu poison."

Xiao Qi'an nodded, "That's right. Chu Wenshu comes from Poison Heart Valley. If someone really used Gu to harm him, it wouldn't be surprising. He's most likely poisoned by Gu. I remember you, Huaizhi, have some knowledge of Gu poison. I wonder if you could find a way to cure him so he can go back and stop bothering Miss Wen."

Gu Huaizhi's thoughts had already wandered. Xiao Qi'an's words brought him back to reality. Chu Yun refused to tell him what method she had used to save her life that day. He had suspected the use of Gu poison, but he believed he had some understanding of it. After carefully examining Chu Yun's pulse, he ruled out the possibility that Chu Yun was poisoned by Gu poison. However, Gu poison is ever-changing, and perhaps it was just because he was not skilled enough that he could not recognize it.

In the past, he didn't ask too many questions to avoid bringing up Chu Yun's painful memories. But now, Gu Huaizhi was determined to find Chu Yun and get to the bottom of things. If Chu Yun was indeed poisoned by Gu, then Chu Wenshu would be especially important. If he could restore Chu Yun's memories, perhaps both Chu Yun and the Gu in him could be cured. Then he wouldn't have to be so timid and afraid to express his feelings to Chu Yun, and he wouldn't have to live in fear that Chu Yun would leave him one day.

"Huaizhi, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Qi'an asked when he saw Gu Huaizhi's wandering eyes.

Gu Huaizhi snapped out of his daze, suppressing his excitement. "It's nothing. I was just wondering how confident I was in curing Chu Wenshu." Chu Wenshu's Gu poison only caused amnesia, which wasn't particularly vicious. It was easier to cure than the Gu poison in his own body. After much consideration, curing Chu Wenshu's poison turned out to be the best way to solve his problem.

"Are you confident you can cure him?" Xiao Qi'an pressed.

"I need to study this carefully before I can answer this question," Gu Huaizhi replied.

This was exactly the answer Xiao Qi'an wanted: "It's alright, you can focus on researching methods to remove the poison. I'll find someone to do your work for you."

Whenever Gu Huaizhi researched a difficult disease, he would go into seclusion for a period of time and never go out. Xiao Qi'an wanted him to stay at home and be kept out of sight and hearing.

"it is good."

Hearing Gu Huaizhi readily agree, Xiao Qi'an felt even more relaxed.

Chu Yun and Chu Wenshu brought back breakfast and chicken soup. As soon as they returned, they saw Gu Huaizhi and Xiao Qi'an sitting and talking, their eyes full of smiles.

Chu Wenshu was displeased, but remembering Chu Yun's words, he could only force a smile and help Chu Yun set the breakfast on the table.

Gu Huaizhi and Xiao Qi'an sat facing each other, while the remaining two seats were far apart. The thought of having to sit separately from Chu Yun made Chu Wenshu feel even worse, and he reluctantly chose a seat.

Because there were many people, and Xiao Qi'an was present, the breakfast was very lavish, with ten dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables, which made everyone's appetite very whetted.

As the host, Chu Yun took her seat, looked at the three guests, and said, "Let's have a meal."

She was already hungry, so she didn't pretend to be reserved. She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of eight-treasure duck, and chewed it slowly. Before she could even swallow the duck, two pairs of chopsticks appeared in front of her, each picking up a piece of duck and placing it on her plate.

Before she could speak, another piece of duck meat appeared on her plate.

Three pairs of chopsticks and three pieces of duck meat made Chu Yun's head ache.

She looked up and saw the smiling faces of Xiao Qi'an, Gu Huaizhi, and Chu Wenshu. Her head throbbed even more, so she swallowed the duck meat in her mouth, coughed lightly, and said, "Thank you."

"Ah Yun, you're too kind."

"I'm glad you like it, Sister Wen."

"Miss Wen, there's no need for such formalities."

Three voices rang out at the same time. Chu Yun smiled and said nothing more. She picked up a piece of duck meat and said, "Everyone, keep eating. Don't worry about me."

As Chu Yun made her move, Chu Wenshu's smile deepened, but Xiao Qi'an and Gu Huaizhi's eyes turned cold.

However, Chu Yun didn't see any of this, and only lowered her eyes to eat.

Next, whenever Chu Yun picked up a dish, all three of them would pick up the same dish and put it on Chu Yun's plate.

Chu Yun suspected that the three of them hadn't eaten properly, so she asked them if they were full. They all answered in unison that they were, so Chu Yun stopped asking.

The meal was cleared away, and refreshments and tea were brought out instead. Chu Yun took the opportunity to say, "Since Young Master and Young Master Gu know Young Master Chu, they must know about Young Master Chu's background. Young Master Chu is all alone here, with no one to rely on. Since you call me sister, I don't want him to suffer the pain of separation. I hope you two can tell Young Master Chu where his home is so that he can find his family and have a home to return to."

Chu Wenshu's willingness to refrain from causing trouble during meals was also a way to find clues about his family. Although he was arrogant and unruly, he was not entirely unaffected by his amnesia and hoped to regain his memories, to know where he came from and where he should go.
