88: Vomiting Blood

Vomiting Blood

Qiao Nian smiled and said shyly, "Grandma, you're embarrassing me with your compliments. It was a piece of cake for me to make these. Do you like this flavor? If not, I can make you something else."0

The smile on Matriarch Gu's face grew even brighter. With Qiao Nian around, she would not have to worry much about the Gu family any longer.

"My darling girl, this tastes quite good. I like it," Matriarch Gu said happily. The more she looked at Qiao Nian, the more she liked her.

"You can only take three pills a day at most. Only take one when you're feeling unwell. After all, medicine can be harmful if not taken in moderation," Qiao Nian instructed carefully.

Seeing Qiao Nian being so gentle and considerate, Matriarch Gu's eyes welled up with tears. Her darling granddaughter was such a good child. With her darling granddaughter by Gu Zhou's side in the future, she no longer had to worry about anything.

Carrying a tray of teacups, Jiang Yue walked up to Matriarch Gu.

Matriarch Gu smiled and picked up a cup from the tray, taking a sip. Then, she smiled at Qiao Nian and said, "My darling child, Grandma, is getting old. This is all I can do for my health. I don't expect to live for that much longer; after all, it's natural for one's health to fail at my age. I've already written my will. Ahem…"

Towards the end, Matriarch Gu began to cough uncontrollably.

Jiang Yue hurriedly patted Matriarch Gu's back and asked worriedly, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

Seeing Matriarch Gu like this, Zhao Qian hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously, "Grandma, you…"

Before Zhao Qian could finish her sentence, Matriarch Gu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Yue tried hard to hide her joy. She glared at Qiao Nian and questioned, "Qiao Nian, what exactly did you give Grandma?"

Immediately, everyone turned to look at Qiao Nian.

Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, Zhao Qian frowned. "Sister Jiang, don't spout nonsense. Second Sister-in-law would never do such a thing."

"Why not?" Jiang Yue was usually in charge of everything in the Gu family, and Matriarch Gu had not hidden the fact that she had written her will from her, nor the fact that Qiao Nian would inherit everything. Jiang Yue hadn't wanted to do anything to Matriarch Gu, but she could no longer hold back when she thought about how she had grown up in the Gu family, but Matriarch Gu hadn't even left her a cent.

"I have absolute trust in Second Sister-in-law," Zhao Qian said seriously. She had seen Second Sister-in-law concocting the medicine yesterday with her own eyes. Even if the medicine couldn't treat Grandma's illness, it wouldn't make her vomit blood. "Someone, go get a doctor."

Zhao Qian was the daughter of Matriarch Gu's older brother, so she was deeply loved by Matriarch Gu. As for Jiang Yue, she was just a girl Matriarch Gu had adopted.

The servants were naturally more willing to listen to Zhao Qian.

At this moment, the butler arrived as well. His expression changed and he asked in a low voice, "What's happened to Matriarch Gu?"

Just as Zhao Qian was about to speak, Jiang Yue spoke up first. "Butler, Grandma only became like this after taking the medicine Qiao Nian made for her."

"How is this possible?" The butler exclaimed. He glanced at Qiao Nian, who was standing at the side. Seeing Qiao Nian's impassive expression, the butler calmed down a little as well. "Second Young Madam, Matriarch Gu…"

Before Qiao Nian could speak, Jiang Yue spoke, her eyes red-rimmed. "Qiao Nian, what exactly did you do to Grandma? You need to give us an explanation right now!"

At that moment, Qiao Nian was checking Matriarch Gu's pulse and didn't notice what Jiang Yue was saying at all.

Jiang Yue snatched Qiao Nian's hand away and said in a rage, "Don't touch Grandma!"

Seeing how fierce Jiang Yue was acting, Zhao Qian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister Jiang, what are you doing? Second Sister-in-law is treating Grandma's illness. Stop fooling around!"

"How am I fooling around?" Jiang Yue turned to glare at Zhao Qian and said furiously, "She doesn't know how to treat illnesses at all. She's lying to us."

Zhao Qian looked at Jiang Yue helplessly and said, "Sister Jiang, can you stop spouting nonsense? Second Sister-in-law is skilled in medicine. Let Second Sister-in-law treat Grandma first. We'll discuss the rest later!"
