"Our reputation has also been ruined by you. When people talk about the girls from the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, they will say that they are greedy and evil-minded, and they will harm the elders. Who dares to propose marriage."

Gu Qian'er couldn't help but rushed to Gu Rong and pushed her hard.

Gu Rong was pushed so hard that she fell directly to the ground. Her face turned pale and tears fell from her face.

"Qian'er, don't be impulsive." Gu Xi grabbed her and pulled her behind her. Looking at Gu Rong who fell to the ground, she said lazily,

"Although the eldest lady did not intend it, after all, it was the eldest lady who suggested eating the cakes first, and the damage has already been done.

Grandma has been poisoned. I don’t know how toxic it is and whether it can be cured. The eldest lady must do something to make up for her mistake."

"I...as long as I can cure my grandmother, I am willing to do anything!" Gu Rong did not dare to quibble anymore, raised her head and said pitifully.

"You have a good attitude. If you think you can do anything to save grandma, then do it."

Gu Xi deliberately said some condescending nonsense and framed Gu Rong.

"..." Gu Rong looked confused.

She doesn't know what she can do!

She has no medical skills and doesn’t know famous doctors. She is a newbie and has no connections except people from the Marquis Mansion!

She checked the system just now. Although her system also has a system mall, her level is too low and the mall has not been unlocked yet. She can't see anything in it at all.

Now the system can only give her abstract things like skill cards and spoiler cards, which she still needs to purchase with her love points!

She can buy skill cards to light up her medical skills, but the medical skills of low-level skill cards are probably not enough, and she doesn’t have that much love value to buy high-level medical skills cards.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to save, she really has no choice!

"Rong'er, go and stay by your grandmother's bedside and take care of her day and night until your grandmother wakes up." Mrs. Hou spoke.

This is the only thing Gu Rong can do now.

Gu Rong suppressed all her emotions and nodded obediently, "I will do my best to take care of my grandmother."

"Humph, it's useless no matter how hard you try. If grandma can't be saved, it's not enough to pay for her with your life!"

Gu Qian'er looked at her with disgust and spoke without mercy.

Gu Rong was frightened by her and trembled all over. Her face became paler and her heart became more desperate.

Grandma must not let anything happen to her. Half of her life depends on her.

"Okay Qian'er, it's useless to be angry, we have to find a way."

Gu Xi didn't want her to step on Gu Rong all the time, because she was afraid that Gu Rong would hold a grudge and take revenge on her later.

"Eunuch Wu, after you return to the palace, can you please intercede with the Queen Mother on my behalf and ask her to send an imperial doctor to look at your grandmother, determine what kind of poison it is, and see how to treat it."

Gu Xi looked at Eunuch Wu again and said.

Gu Xi knew that the poison would not kill people immediately, so he was not in a hurry.

Of course, even if it is really fatal, she is not in a hurry. She has antidote pills in her hand. Whether she wants to save the old lady or not is all in her mind.

Although she was not so willing, Gu Xi still chose to save her, not because she still had any affection for the old lady.

But she didn’t want to mourn the old lady and keep filial piety!!!

If the old lady really died, with their current relationship, she would still have to cry, kneel down, and observe filial piety. Gu Xi was annoyed just thinking about it, so why not use an antidote pill to save the old lady's life.

"No problem." Eunuch Wu responded with a smile and complimented, "It may not be possible for others to ask, but if Miss Gu asks, the Queen Mother will definitely agree."

"It's the Queen Mother who is flattering me. I'm flattered." Gu Xi was modest.

"Miss Gu can bear it." Eunuch Wu smiled more politely, "By the way, our family hasn't congratulated Miss Gu yet."

"It was such a mess just now that Eunuch Wu was laughing at the joke. How could there be any joy?" Gu Xi shook his head helplessly.

"We were about to talk just now, but we were interrupted when the old lady was poisoned." Eunuch Wu stabbed the old lady again and then said with a smile,

"The Queen Mother wants to recognize the girl as her adopted daughter and has already asked the emperor to draw up a decree. Tomorrow, the decree to make the girl the county head will be sent to the Marquis Mansion."

"Your Majesty, are you going to accept me as your adopted daughter?" Gu Xi was surprised.

This was something she had never expected.

If she is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, then wouldn’t Prince Ning be her brother?!

Gu Xi's first reaction was that it was strange. She and Prince Ning had become brother and sister, and those hugs and kisses before seemed to have a touch of taboo.

Also, if she becomes the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, won’t she become the aunt of the Sixth Prince and Prince An?

In this way, the drama of two kings competing for her as their concubine was not only because they were unable to marry each other, but in the end she became the elder of the other party, making them unable to marry again and respectfully calling her aunt.

Gu Xi couldn't help but smile when he thought of this. This ending is interesting, dramatic and wonderful.

She likes it!

"Oh my god, eldest sister, you are going to become the county lord! When I see you in the future, do I have to kneel down and salute you?"

Gu Qian'er looked at her in surprise, grabbed her arm and asked jokingly.

"If you want to kowtow, I won't stop you." Gu Xi teased her with a smile.

"County Lord?!"

Mr. Hou, who had been wandering in his thoughts, was shocked by the news and stared at Gu Xi, his face full of confusion and disbelief.

The county head is not only a relative of the emperor, but also a second-rank official, two levels higher than his official rank!

He is just a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of War.

Moreover, the county head can also have a small fief. If he does not have a small fief, he will be given thousands of hectares of fertile land, and will also be given a house by the emperor. The monthly salary is much higher than him.

Therefore, he had always thought that his adopted daughter, who was expected to be humble because of her birth, suddenly became more noble than him!

When he sees her in the future, according to the rules, he must bow.

In this case, how can she still rely on the Hou Mansion? Even the Hou Mansion needs to rely on her. He can no longer control her.

When the Marquis thought back on what he said to Gu Xi and what he did these days, especially the matter of asking her to go to Xie's Mansion to be a concubine, he offended Gu Xi so much that he almost regretted it!

Gu Rong was about to turn around and leave, but when she heard the news, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gu Xi, her eyes flashing with jealousy, unwillingness, and confusion.

Didn’t she get the heroine script? Why did everything go wrong for her?!

But Gu Xi seemed to have done nothing, but everything went as she wished, and there were so many people pampering and protecting her.

Even her only background, which made her higher than Gu Xi, no longer exists!

Gu Xi became the head of the county and was more noble than her!

This is wrong!

"Xi'er, congratulations on becoming the head of the county. This way, no one will laugh at your origin anymore."

Mrs. Hou was shocked when she heard the news, but she was also really happy for Gu Xi.
Chapter completed!
