The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1649 - 1652: Gu Shuisheng’s Most Miserable Moment

He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then... what kind of antidote did you give her?"

Gu Youyou held a medicine bottle and smiled faintly, "A calming and tranquilizing fire-lowering medicine. I saw Second Miss Zhang’s cheeks were flushed, and she looked delirious. Based on my years of clinical experience, giving her a calming and tranquilizing fire-lowering pill first can’t be wrong.

Of course, if Butler Zhang doesn’t trust me, he can take her to see another doctor to find out how she came back and why her behavior is abnormal."

"Still speaking?" Butler Zhang snorted coldly, "It must be you who harmed our Second Miss. Princess Ning, even a prince must face the same justice as commoners when committing a crime. I will definitely tell our master, and he will go before the emperor to file a complaint to seek justice for our Miss."

"Sure, go ahead!" Gu Youyou stood up and made a gesture of invitation.

But this butler was only intimidating; when Gu Youyou asked him to go, he dared not actually go.

With things like this, it’s uncertain if he can even survive.

At this moment, Gu Shuisheng, who had been sitting silently nearby, raised his head and looked at Butler Zhang, asking, "Didn’t you tell me your stomach wasn’t feeling well today and you couldn’t go out? Why did you ask me to help find the Second Miss, only for you to appear right after?"

Being one of the premier figures of today, Gu Shuisheng’s inexplicable question was not understood by others, though Gu Youyou got the hint.

Could it be that this butler had an arrangement with Zhang Shiyu?

Gu Youyou glanced at the semi-conscious Zhang Shiyu and couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic.

It’s one thing to be as dumb as a pig oneself, but to find an equally dumb partner...

Did they really think they could scheme against me, with such low-level tricks? Did they forget their brains?

Gu Youyou snorted coldly, "Honest people don’t talk about outdated things; I don’t want to waste my time on you. Zhang Shiyu brought this upon herself and even implicated the new Top Scholar."

To the clueless public, Gu Youyou’s words were still a bit puzzling.

"Everyone!" Gu Youyou suddenly turned around, cupped her hands towards the onlookers outside the door, and said, "You’re all probably confused right now, not knowing what’s going on, right?"

Yes, yes!

The onlookers hurriedly nodded.

"Here’s the situation: Second Miss Zhang from the Chancellor Residence came to Xiguang Residence today, saying she wanted to commission a set of Sunshine Flower Room designs, specifically requesting me to draft them. So, we treated her as a VIP and invited her to Room No. 2.

After finishing the first draft, Miss Zhang was not satisfied, so I began the second one. Of course, our drafts aren’t drawn for free; they cost silver. Miss Zhang took the opportunity, while I was out, to drug the tea in the room.

Coincidentally, I caught her in the act, so I went along with her plan. While she wasn’t paying attention, I swapped our teacups. Then, I went next door to take a nap, and that’s when this astonishing scene occurred in Room No.2!"

After Gu Youyou’s explanation, the Shopkeeper downstairs added, "This... Top Scholar was entrusted to come find Miss Zhang. As soon as his foot went upstairs, Zhang family’s butler brought a group of people, barging in. With my many years of experience, this is a conspiracy!"

With such clarity, everyone now understood everything, combining Gu Youyou’s and Gu Shuisheng’s previously puzzling remarks.

Second Miss Zhang intended to set up Princess Ning, yet was instead outmaneuvered by her.

Not only did she fail to harm Princess Ning, but she also ended up trapping herself.
