Chapter 53 Hehe, so delicious!
In the dark and damp cell, Chu Ruohan and Yu Ling leaned against the wall and vomited violently.
She knew that Song Ruyan was a member of the martial arts world, and that she was always unrestrained and unconventional in her actions, but this method was too ruthless.
It seems that Gu's mother has really gone mad.
Yu Ling's face turned pale. "Miss, are you feeling better?"
Chu Ruohan straightened up, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, took a deep breath, and felt an unbearable bitterness in her mouth; the nausea still lingered.
She felt like she was about to vomit her gallbladder.
A series of hurried footsteps approached, and looking up, Chu Ruohan saw Gu Cheng'an and Gu Chengyan rushing to the prison cell.
The two men's gazes fell directly on Gu's mother, their eyes widening in fury, their faces a mixture of pain and anger.
"mother……"
Gu Cheng'an rushed to his mother's side in a panic, covering her mouth with his hands, his eyes reddening, his voice choked with sobs and anxiety.
"Stop eating, spit it out, spit it out..."
Gu's mother just glanced at him blankly, her eyes empty and dull, with half a rat still dangling from her blood-stained mouth.
"Chu Ruohan, how could you be so cruel as to trick my mother into eating a live rat!"
Gu Chengyan suddenly turned his head, glaring hatefully at Chu Ruohan, his eyes burning with rage, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Chu Ruohan never expected that Song Ruyan's "try it out" would mean catching a mouse and stuffing it directly into Gu's mother's mouth.
She ate it too.
My stomach churned again.
“We just wanted to test whether she was really crazy,” Song Ruyan explained.
Gu Cheng'an and Gu Chengyan then realized that their mother's mental state was not quite right. "Mother, look at me, it's me, Cheng'an."
Mother Gu chuckled foolishly, "Hehe, delicious, delicious, rats are delicious."
Seeing his mother like this, Gu Chengyan felt as if his heart was being torn apart. What kind of torment had she suffered to become like this?
"Bitch, I'll kill you!"
He raised his fist and was about to rush forward, but before he could touch Chu Ruohan, Song Ruyan kicked him to the ground.
"You dare hit me?" Gu Chengyan lay on the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"You think you can hit me at the wrong time?" Song Ruyan pouted. "If you hit me again, I'll beat you up again."
"The Emperor said that as long as the antidote is handed over, my mother's life can be spared."
Chu Ruohan knew they had entered the palace, and that the Emperor would compromise for Gu Junze's health.
That's why she came to the prison, hoping to get the antidote out of Gu's mother in advance, but who knew...
“I didn’t drive her insane. I’m here for the antidote. She was already insane when I came. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the jailer.”
Gu Chengyan didn't believe a word she said.
“If it weren’t for your scheme to frame me, my mother would never have ended up in this state.”
"She deserved it."
Chu Ruohan had set a trap, waiting for Gu's mother to fall into the abyss.
Gu's mother thought that the maid was sent by Gu Cheng'an to take care of her, but in fact, Chu Ruohan gave her a chance to make a move.
Even the snakes were caught by Song Ruyan.
That's why Song Ruyan wasn't there when they went boating on the lake; otherwise, given her personality, Wei Qiming's boat would have been much worse than just leaking.
The sound of wheels rolling over the ground came from behind. Chu Ruohan turned around, her expression relaxing.
"How did you come?"
“You didn’t call a carriage or bring an umbrella when you went out,” Gu Junze said, lifting a corner of the blanket draped over his lap to reveal a clean oil-paper umbrella underneath. “I’ve come to pick you up.”
Chu Ruohan then noticed that Ying Qing was all wet, and Gu Cheng'an and Gu Chengyan's clothes were also wet, so it seemed that it was raining outside again.
"Let's go," Chu Ruohan nodded slightly and said softly.
Watching the group disappear into the distance, Gu Cheng'an suddenly said, "Big brother, I'm sorry."
His voice wasn't loud, it was low and hoarse, but it was exceptionally clear in the empty cell, carrying a deep sense of guilt and helplessness.
Gu Junze knew that he was apologizing on behalf of his mother.
But he wouldn't accept it; he would never forgive someone who had wronged him...
Gu Chengyan looked at Gu Chengan in disbelief, "Why should we apologize to him? They are the ones who ruined Mother like this."
"Chu Ruohan is right, Mother deserves what she got."
Gu Chengyan couldn't understand why his second brother, who had been so desperate for a woman not long ago, was now acting all righteous and talking about brotherhood.
He believed that his mother had not done anything wrong. There could only be one heir to the Marquis of Anyang, and Gu Junze's existence was an obstacle to his and his brother's path.
They and he were never born from the same womb...
Inside the carriage, Gu Junze sat opposite Chu Ruohan, his gaze never leaving her face, his eyes filled with concern and worry: "Why do you look so pale?"
Chu Ruohan froze, recalling the scene of Gu's mother eating a live rat. She quickly reached for the teacup on the small table and took a big gulp to suppress the nausea in her heart.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
It's better that Gu Junze doesn't know...
Let her live like this, worse than dead, to atone for her past actions in this endless madness and pain.
Chu Ruohan lifted the car curtain and looked out into the rain. The once bustling street scene was now deserted.
Wang Mama's death can be seen as a way of paying back the two lives lost in her Chu family in her previous life.
This can also be considered a kind of cause and effect cycle.
Gu Junze watched Chu Ruohan's figure without saying anything more.
She always gave him a sense of distance, as if she had many things hidden in her heart, and beneath her gentle appearance was a hard wall.
He was outside the wall.
The two returned to Hongmeng Academy. Despite having umbrellas, they were still soaked. Although it was midsummer, Gu Junze was weak and could not be careless.
The wet nurse had been anxiously watching from the corridor. When she saw them return, she hurriedly went to greet them.
"Young Master, Young Madam, please come inside. This old servant has already prepared hot water. Go and take a hot bath to get rid of the chill." After saying this, he urged the maids to lead the two of them into the room.
After they finished bathing, he quickly served them steaming hot ginger soup, saying, "Drink it while it's hot to drive out the cold from your stomach."
Dr. Qian jogged into the house, ignoring the rain that soaked him, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement, and carrying the carcass of a spearhead viper in his hand.
Chu Ruohan subconsciously took two steps back, but then heard Doctor Qian say, "The venom of this snake is exactly the opposite of the poison in the young master's body."
"Really?"
She only asked Song Ruyan to catch a few poisonous snakes, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a lucky accident.
It became Gu Junze's lifeline.
Gu Junze sat in the chair, a hint of surprise and anticipation appearing in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
"Dr. Qian, how confident are you?"
