“Gu Zheng, since you have so much Jinchuan Grass, it doesn’t matter if you give one to Old Master Meng. Save him first!”
As soon as Old Master Gu finished speaking, everyone looked greedy.
This was Jinchuan Grass they were talking about! Gu Zheng actually had over a hundred stalks in his hands! There would be enough to give one to everyone here.
Their eyes were fixed on Gu Zheng, and Old Master Gu frowned. “Gu Zheng, Old Master Meng saved my life, after all. Even if you’re dissatisfied, you should give him a stalk of Jinchuan Grass. Moreover, my health has been poor recently, so you should give me some too. It can be considered as filial piety.”
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. Old Master Gu was really thick-skinned.
In order to force Gu Zheng to hand over Jinchuan Grass, he got a bunch of people to pressure him.
Old Master Gu and Madam Gu looked at Gu Zheng greedily.
He coldly swept his gaze across the crowd and said indifferently, “I don’t have it.”
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Old Master Gu glared at him and stood up abruptly. “Gu Zheng, what do you mean by this? Rumor has it that you have more than a hundred stalks of Jinchuan Grass. If you don’t have any, why would such news spread? I think you’ve been bewitched by that woman! You’re not even listening to my words anymore…”
Madam Gu’s face was filled with anger. “Qiao Xi… It’s all because of Qiao Xi… It’s just a few flowers and plants, yet she refuses to let the matter go. Someone! Chase her out! I don’t want to see her anymore!”
Gu Zheng’s expression was ice-cold as he pulled Qiao Xi along and intended to leave, yet Qiao Xi stopped him.
She smiled slightly. She could not leave now because the show was about to start.
At this moment, a servant rushed in. “Old Master, Madam, Mr. Feng, the man beside the divine physician, is here.”
The divine physician?
Mr. Feng was the assistant of the divine physician. Why was he in the Gu family’s old mansion?
Everyone was in disbelief. They rubbed their eyes and clearly saw Mr. Feng slowly walking over.
It was indeed Mr. Feng!
All these years, the divine physician had been traveling everywhere with Mr. Feng. Furthermore, the divine physician had saved Old Master Lu many years ago, so they had all seen him before.
Although Mr. Feng was old, his face was ruddy and he looked strong.
Old Master Gu walked past the crowd and quickly went forward. He said warmly, “Mr. Feng, I didn’t know you were coming. Sorry for not going out to meet you.”
The divine physician had been living in seclusion for many years. No one knew his whereabouts, and it was rumored that he had already passed away.
Mr. Feng’s sudden appearance meant that the divine physician might be in Li City too.
Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi. His poison was probably something that only the divine physician could cure. It just so happened that Feng Zhang was here with the Gu family. Could it be…
Feng Zhang swept his gaze over everyone before it finally descended on Qiao Xi. He instantly stared with wide eyes. “Six…”
Old Master Gu and Madam Gu hurriedly went forward to welcome him. “Mr. Feng, please have a seat.”
“I came here today because of Jinchuan Grass.” Feng Zhang sat down and got straight to the point.
“Young Master Gu, you have a hundred stalks of Jinchuan Grass. It’s extremely precious, but ordinary people won’t know how to use it. I’m just here to tell you how to use it.”
A plan instantly hatched in Madam Gu’s mind. She sighed helplessly and said, “Mr. Feng, so you’ve already heard that Gu Zheng has Jinchuan Grass. Now that Old Master Meng is seriously ill, he urgently needs it. However, this unfilial son of mine refuses to give it to him!
“Our Gu family and the Meng family have always been close, but Gu Zheng was seduced by that vixen and hid away Jinchuan Grass. He watched as Old Master Meng was enduring the pain of his illness. The person in charge of the Gu family is so ungrateful. If news of this gets out, the entire Gu family will be affected. That vixen is really vicious!”
Meng Wan sobbed softly.
Feng Zhang frowned.
She scolded Sixth Miss for being vicious in front of him? She even wanted Jinchuan Grass?
The reason why Feng Zhang was here was because Third Young Master had called and asked him to cooperate with Sixth Miss in putting on an act.
He cleared his throat. “Since Old Master Meng is in danger, we should indeed give Jinchuan Grass to the Meng family. Xi Xi, give the Jinchuan Grass to Miss Meng.”
Everyone was stunned. Why would Mr. Feng call Qiao Xi ‘Xi Xi’?
Then, Qiao Xi’s face was full of helplessness as she said in a weak voice, “Mr. Feng, I no longer have Jinchuan Grass.”
Meng Wan was angered to the point of gnashing her teeth, and she wished for nothing more than to charge over and tear Qiao Xi into pieces.
B*tch! Vixen! She was deliberately not giving it to her.
Meng Wan retracted her fierce gaze and pretended to be aggrieved. “Miss Qiao, even though I destroyed your flowers and plants before this, I’ve already apologized and paid the price. Yet you still refuse to forgive me and you’re even disregarding my grandfather’s life!
“Now that Mr. Feng has already spoken, you’re still refusing to give it to me. Are you really going to watch my grandfather die in front of you? You’re so vicious! Why don’t you just kill me…”
