180 Chapter 180 Living Up To Expectations

Gu Chengrui nodded and smiled. Thats right. I just got it done less than 20 minutes ago.

Lets go out and celebrate then. Zhou Ying exclaimed as she pulled him out of her inters.p.a.ce.

Gu Chengrui saw the dishes on the table and said happily, I guess we are really celebrating. Youve made some chicken stew for me.

Of course. Lets hurry up and eat, and well head to your eldest uncles house. His daughter is leaving tomorrow, so we have to go there by today.

Shouldnt we prepare some gifts?

Yeah, we do. Isnt there some ginseng slice in the inters.p.a.ce someone collected before? Lets bring them a small jar of ginseng slices, some blood-replenis.h.i.+ng medicine you made, and two bottles of skin cream. That should be enough, right?

Of course. Shes the wife of a mayor and wouldnt lack anything else. Gu Chengrui nodded his head in agreement. He pa.s.sed her a drumstick, and the couple started eating.

After the meal, the two took the antidote and the gifts they had prepared, locked up, and rushed to the patriarchs house.

When she arrived, the family had just finished dinner and was idly chatting.

In Mrs. w.a.n.gs arms was an unfamiliar little girl of about seven years old. If Zhou Ying wasnt mistaken, she was Gu Ziyis eldest daughter.

A young woman was also at the side, holding a little boy in her arms. It was Gu Chengens wife and son, Mrs. Fang and Barney.

When the patriarch saw them, he stood up and greeted them warmly. Oh, you guys are here! Have you two eaten?

We have. We came over after having dinner. Gu Chengrui spoke as he set the items in his hands on the table.

Lets sit down and talk. The patriarch invited them to sit.

Chengrui, have you made the antidote? Mrs. w.a.n.g looked at Gu Chengrui.

Mother, theres no rush. Dont keep urging Chengrui. Gu Ziyi spoke quickly.

To be honest, she didnt have high hopes. After all, even the imperial physicians wouldnt be able to find a cure for a poison of unknown origins.

Well, what did you know? I did it, and Im here to give you the antidote.

However, this antidote cannot be taken all at once. It has to be taken separately over three days, three times a day, and two pills each time. Gu Chengrui instructed as he personally handed the antidote to Gu Ziyi.

Thank you, Chengrui. Can this really wholly remove the poison? Gu Ziyi clutched the medicine bottle tightly as she choked with emotion.

Yes, but since your body has already been damaged, you need some time to recuperate.

Could you also give me a prescription for that? I dont trust anyone else.

Youre being a little paranoid. To be honest, if you want to take care of your body, you first have to be good at distinguis.h.i.+ng between friends and enemies. Otherwise, youll be tricked again. Gu Chengrui advised her.

Sigh The patriarch sighed heavily after hearing this.

The others also fell silent.

Gu Chengrui saw that everyone had stopped talking and didnt ask any more questions. He stood up and said, Its getting late, and we wish you a safe journey tomorrow.

Uncle, well be going back now, he said to the patriarch.

The clan leader thought of the troubles in Gu Ziyis family and had no intention of holding the couple back. He nodded and thanked them, saying, In the future, come over, and I will thank you again. Chengen, send them off, will you?

Alright. Gu Chengen responded and then stood up to send them out. He asked, Chengrui, you know how to play chess, right? Were free during the new year, so why dont you come for a bout of chess together when youre free?

Alright, sure. Well be heading back now. Gu Chengrui said his farewells as he walked back with Zhou Ying.

The couple was busy in the inters.p.a.ce for the next few days or out for visits, and their everyday lives were quite relaxed.

Of course, Gu Chengrui would occasionally receive patients who sought his consultations.
