"For so many years, I wanted to find a way to treat you and come to you again, but I didn't expect it to be too late after all, I don't regret saying my heart, although it was a step late, Mr. Gu, I won't give up." Bai Yan nodded slightly at Gu Xiujin in a measured manner, and then turned to leave.

Gu Xiujin's eyes were very indifferent from beginning to end, and he didn't even care too much about her back, and turned around and returned to the study directly.

"Li Zhao went to find out what Gu Fang had done recently." Gu Xiujin took out his mobile phone to contact Li Zhao and told him to let him pay more attention to Gu Fang.

After talking on the phone, Gu Xiujin felt full of tiredness, and said that home and family are a harbor where people can rest, but Gu Xiujin has never experienced this kind of warmth since he was a child, except for his grandfather.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study, Xie Qingtang poked his head out, held a bowl of medicinal porridge in his hand, and said carefully: "I heard that Miss Bai is gone, and you didn't eat anything this morning, so I specially made you a bowl of medicinal porridge, I never left my eyes the whole time, and I will definitely not let others poison me." ”

"Come in." I don't know why, when I saw the cautious woman, Gu Xiujin's mood suddenly became quiet and peaceful, and he said to her with a faint softness on his face.

Xie Qingtang immediately walked in with the bowl of porridge, put the porridge in front of him, and said with an expectant face: "I prepared these medicinal materials last night, and I stayed up for half an hour this morning, although it is not long, but the medicinal effect is just right, and it is good for your body." ”

"Hmm." Although Gu Xiujin's attitude was still very cold, his hand involuntarily picked up the spoon next to him and drank the porridge.

Xie Qingtang, who was standing in front of him, wanted to say something again and again, but decided to wait for him to finish drinking the porridge. After a while, Gu Xiujin glanced up at her, as if he had seen through her thoughts, and said, "If you have anything to say, you can just say it, you have been staring at me since just now." ”

"That's right, now that you've locked up the suspect who poisoned you, can I just complete the mission and leave? Shall we talk about remuneration? Xie Qingtang said calmly, not feeling embarrassed to talk about money with Gu Xiujin at all.

Gu Xiujin was obviously stunned for a moment, looked up at her in surprise, and replied with a slight fluctuation in his eyes: "Isn't it free for you to help me?" ”

"It's free, how can it be free, I made you a medicinal meal for free here for a few days, of course it's not free, in order to protect you, my Cunshan Hall hasn't been open for several days." Xie Qingtang immediately said as a matter of course, let her be free, how could that be possible?

Gu Xiujin saw that the little woman in front of him was asking for money from him, and she wanted it arrogantly, so she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and continued to ask: "But you didn't mention money when you first came, why do you mention it now?" ”

"At that time, I thought that we were friends, so it was difficult to withdraw money, but now I think it is because we are friends that we need to withdraw money, so as not to hurt our feelings for money, right?" Xie Qingtang said quibly.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that after seeing Miss Bai, she felt that she should not have the slightest illusion about a man who belonged to her, so she wanted to clarify her relationship with Gu Xiujin by mentioning money, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

But what he didn't expect was that Gu Xiujin shook his head directly, and continued: "Feelings are priceless, mentioning money really hurts feelings, in order not to hurt the friendship between us, and thank you for your selfless help to me, I won't give this money." ”

"What, how can this be, I didn't help you for free, this money must be given." Xie Qingtang said a little angrily, how could he talk about going around himself, Gu Xiujin in front of him was really cunning.

So the two of them discussed the question of whether the money should be given for half an hour, and finally Xie Qingtang's throat was dry, and he picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of water, at this time, her movements were suddenly stunned, and she looked at the teacup in her hand with a slight frown.

"What's wrong, is there something wrong?" Gu Xiujin, who was familiar with her, immediately noticed her strangeness and asked.

Xie Qingtang raised the teacup in his hand and said to Gu Xiujin with some surprise: "We only noticed your diet, but we forgot these small details around you, this teacup has also been poisoned by others, every time you drink water, the toxins will enter your body and slowly accumulate." ”

"What, the teacup was poisoned by someone else." Gu Xiu stood up suddenly, her brows twisted into a pimple, and Xie Qingtang nodded with a serious face, she had already noticed it when she drank the first sip of water.

There were a total of three teacups on the table, Xie Qingtang picked them up and carefully observed these three teacups, and finally nodded slightly at Gu Xiujin. I left the study first, returned to my room, took out the medicine box, and came to the study again to test the three teacups.

After testing, the surfaces of these three teacups were coated with poison, it should be that they were not sure which teacup Gu Xiujin would use to drink water, so in order to poison him 100%, they were poisoned on these three teacups.

When things came to this point, Gu Xiujin's face became ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's really painstaking to hurt me." ”

"Who prepared the tea for you in this study?" Xie Qingtang asked suspiciously, Gu Xiujin's face froze, and he slowly spit out a person's name.

At this moment, in the kitchen, the housekeeper was inspecting the items inside with his hands behind his back, and when the head chef of the kitchen saw him, he immediately nodded and said, "Butler, you are here." ”

"Well, you are all careful about the dishes tonight, if the young master only eats the medicinal food made by Madame, then there is no need to hire you again, after all, the money to hire you every month is a lot of expenses, don't let me down too much." The butler said in a light tone, and then touched the food and utensils with his hand.

He seemed to be checking if there was anything unusual about these things, and the head chef did not doubt it, and hurriedly said with a guarantee: "Butler, please rest assured, we have worked hard to cook during this time, and we will definitely let Mr. Gu eat two more bites, and I will take out what I have learned all my life to satisfy Mr. Gu." The butler nodded in satisfaction.
