Chapter 232: A Stroke

Gu Chaoyan had been looking at Gu Ruxue all this while, so as the maid shouted, Gu Chaoyan looked in her direction and noticed that something was wrong with Madame Gu. She could not say a word and she could barely move.

She... She had a stroke!

Madame Gu was an aged woman, who had had hope in Gu Ruxue on this visit to the court. She had expected that she was going to bring enormous glory to the family, but now Princess Gu fell into trouble, and the whole Gu Mansion might be involved too. Princess Gu was the King’s woman, and even if she was disgraced, she should not have slept with some man right in front of everyone else. The King would definitely get very angry. The Gu Family was done for.

That was why Madame Gu got so furious.

Gu Chaoyan turned to the maid, “What are you staring at? Go and get an imperial doctor! If someone dies at Princess Virtue’s palace, there will be trouble!”

She said this with a frightening tone.

The maid hurried off to get an imperial doctor.

Normally, since the Gu Family committed such a huge crime, Princess Virtue did not need to get them a doctor. What she needed to do was to watch over them. However, if someone died at her palace, it would be a terrible thing for the whole palace.

Hearing that an imperial doctor was needed, Gu Ruxue realized that something went wrong.

Madame Gu was the supporting column of the whole family. She must not collapse when something like this happened to them.

She came to Madame Gu and was about to shake her.

Gu Chaoyan said coldly, “Don’t touch her before the doctor arrives. You would not be able to bear the consequences if something goes wrong.”

Gu Ruxue’s hands froze.

Mrs. Gu had no feelings towards this. Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s sharp words, she said ironically, “Aren’t you good at medical skills? Why not save her now? Or are you just lying to all of us.”

It would be best if this b***h was revealed as someone totally incapable. In this way, Lord Huai would ignore her. Then she could get her to bear all the consequences, Mrs. Gu thought.

“I won’t be able to cure a stroke.” Gu Chaoyan confessed. She had no intention of treating her either.

Well... she was definitely capable of treating people with strokes, but since it was Madame Gu who had gotten sick, she claimed that she was not capable of doing that at all.

She might have a kind heart as a doctor, but she was not a saint.

This Madame Gu once planned to get her to marry a mentally disturbed person for the sake of family interest, even though she knew that the man’s previous wives were all mistreated to death.

From that moment on Madame Gu was no longer someone she respected. She was not going to spare any efforts to save someone who tried to cause her trouble. She was not that kind.

Therefore, how Madam Gu was would depend on whether the imperial doctor was found and whether he was able to treat her.

Gu Ruxue was almost at the edge of shedding tears when the maid finally came with an imperial doctor.

He was more like a minor medical servant than a real imperial doctor, judging from the clothes he was wearing.

“Doctor Wu, come and check it out!” The maid said anxiously.

The imperial doctor checked Madame Gu and said calmly, “She is having a stroke, caused by excitement. That is not a deadly disease, but I don’t think she will be able to get up in the future.”

“What?!” Gu Ruxue’s eyes widened.

She was not able to get up? Then how would she be able to arrange the errands at the Gu Mansion?

At this moment, Gu Ruxue almost hoped that Madame Gu were dead, because maybe, the King would spare them because of this old woman’s death.
