Wanyin listened to Qian Jiujiu's coquettishness and agreed naturally: "Okay, then mother will accompany Jiuer well during this period of time, and live and eat with Jiuer."
Qian Jiujiu nodded contentedly, and the carriage quickly returned to the island owner's residence. Gu Xiong looked at Wanyin and said, "Yinyin, go and move. Jiujiu and I have some things to discuss here."
Wan Yin heard what Gu Xiong said without any doubt, and just nodded: "Okay, I'll go move now, and you two should have a good talk."
As Wanyin said this, she wanted to call Xiaoman to go along, but when she saw Qian Jiujiu still holding Xiaoman's hand, she gave up and went by herself. After that, Wanyin disappeared from her sight.
Gu Xiongcai spoke, looking at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiujiu, is there something wrong with your mother's health?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "My mother was poisoned. It's a chronic poison. It won't kill people in a short time, but as the poison accumulates, it will make people very painful. They can neither live nor die."
When Gu Xiong heard this, his eyes widened: "How is it possible? How could there be such a vicious person on this island? And your mother is indifferent and kind, who would do that to her?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "How should I know? This matter still needs to be investigated slowly. Anyway, the enemy will never be able to hide."
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu looked at Gu Xiong. In fact, Qian Jiujiu did not blame Gu Xiong for this matter. After all, Wanyin had been away from the island for so long.
Not only did Gu Xiong not marry, he even kept waiting for Wanyin. When Wanyin was persecuted and left the island, he avenged her afterwards.
Gu Xiong was in a bad mood when he thought of Wan Yin being poisoned. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "You make sense. I must find out the truth about this matter."
Qian Jiujiu hummed and nodded: "Then do you have anything else to say? If not, I will leave now."
Gu Xiong was thinking about something else he hadn't said yet, so he glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "I have something else to discuss with you. Now that you're back, shouldn't we discuss returning to our roots?"
Return to one's roots? Qian Jiujiu thought she had made it very clear. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble with Gu Xiangning, she had no intention of returning to being the eldest lady of Mingyue Island.
The most important thing is that after solving her mother's problem, she was ready to pat her butt and leave. Who wants to stay and be a young lady? She just looked at Gu Xiong with an expectant look on his face.
Qian Jiujiu found that he couldn't bear it and refused directly. Qian Jiujiu silently complained in her heart, when did she become so soft-hearted? Is it because she is also a mother
Do you realize how difficult it is to be a parent? Especially the person in front of you, when he knew that he had a biological daughter, his biological daughter had already become someone else's daughter-in-law.
It is pitiful that she has never taken care of her own child since she was a child. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu said casually: "As long as you are happy, I will cooperate with you."
Hearing Qian Jiujiu's words, Gu Xiong immediately became happy: "Okay, then I'll go discuss it with the housekeeper now."
Seeing Gu Xiong so happy, Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Don't you need to discuss it with Gu Xiangning?"
Uh! Gu Xiong also remembered at this time: "Thanks for reminding me, I will go to find Xiang Ning now, there are still many things that need Xiang Ning's help in this matter."
After saying that, Gu Xiong went to find Gu Xiangning happily, while Qian Jiujiu was dumbfounded. Is this Gu Xiong missing something in his brain
She meant for him to ask Gu Xiangning if he agreed, but he went straight to Gu Xiangning for help. However, Qian Jiujiu soon figured it out.
In Gu Xiong's opinion, Gu Xiangning is also willing. Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman looked at each other and said, "Let's go first. Go back. Xiaoman, you have to work harder these days."
"Make some delicious food for mother to nourish her. I'm afraid she must have suffered a lot during this period."
Qian Jiujiu thought her mother was enjoying herself here! Xiaoman nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of my godmother. Let's go back first."
When the two returned to their yard, they saw Wanyin had finished everything and nodded with satisfaction: "Jiuer, I will live with you for the next few days."
"I asked someone to bring all my quilts here."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "I didn't ask you to bring all the things here."
Then he looked at the servants and said, "Take out all the things in my room and replace them with new ones. Including my wife's."
Several maids looked at Qian Jiujiu seriously. They had just been tired for a long time and looked at Qian Jiujiu speechlessly. As a result, they heard Qian Jiujiu say even more outrageous words.
"Also, after you throw all these things away, go take a shower and change your clothes, and then bring in new things if you don't want to serve."
"Or if you don't obey, I'll ask my mother to replace you."
After Qian Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at Wan Yin and said, "Mom, I'll go to the street and buy you some new clothes. You also need to take a shower and change the clothes you're wearing. But you can wait until I get back from buying clothes."
"As for what's on you and in your room, don't wear them for now."
Listening to Qian Jiujiu's words, Wan Yin frowned. Her daughter was not such an unreasonable person. If she did this, there must be a reason for it.
Thinking of the pulse check she had just done, Wan Yin hummed, "Okay, whatever Jiu'er says is fine."
Every time Qian Jiujiu heard the word "Jiuer" from her mother's name, she would get goosebumps, but at the same time, there was a hint of joy in her heart.
This made Qian Jiujiu feel helpless, and she could only hum: "Mom is the best to Jiuer, then Jiuer will go to the street first."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, let's go quickly. You still have to help me get something!"
Behind the two of them, A Da never let Qian Jiujiu and Xiao Man out of his sight. Seeing the two of them were about to go out, he naturally followed behind them and went together.
While Qian Jiujiu went out to buy something, Gu Xiong on the other side also found Gu Xiangning. Gu Xiangning was still a little worried. Where did this jar of poison come from
He hadn't figured it out yet and was too embarrassed to meet Qian Jiujiu. When Gu Xiong found Gu Xiangning, he saw that Gu Xiangning was frowning. Gu Xiong thought of what he heard today.
Will the young master be replaced? Could it be that someone said something to sow discord in front of Gu Xiangning? Thinking of this, Gu Xiong came to Gu Xiangning calmly.
"Xiang Ning..."
When Gu Xiangning heard someone calling him, he stood up and looked at Gu Xiong: "Dad, why are you here? Don't you need to accompany my stepmother and sister?"
Stepmother and sister, this sister naturally refers to Qian Jiujiu. Hearing Gu Xiangning calling her, she must have accepted it in her heart. Gu Xiong just felt that he felt better.
"Xiangning, your stepmother has been poisoned."
When Gu Xiangning heard this, he looked at Gu Xiong with some surprise on his face: "Adoptive father, I just saw my adoptive mother this morning. When did she get poisoned?"
Hearing that Gu Xiangning had met Wanyin today, he was a little surprised: "It's a chronic poison. She has been poisoned for a long time. People outside don't know about this yet."
Gu Xiangning only thought about it briefly before telling him everything that happened this morning: "Foster father, who in this mansion doesn't want my sister to come back?"
"I've been thinking about this this morning. Now it seems that this person's main target is my stepmother. He is really evil. He wants my stepmother to poison her own child. She will definitely be devastated."
Gu Xiong was also shocked. He didn't know that Qian Jiujiu had experienced such a thrilling thing in the morning. No wonder he was reluctant to return to his roots.
Looking at Gu Xiangning: "Xiangning, I am going to let your sister recognize her ancestral roots."
Gu Xiangning nodded: "This is a good thing. My sister is your biological daughter. It is only right for her to recognize her ancestry. When will it be held?"
"This is a big event on our island, so it should be celebrated with some ceremony."
Gu Xiong also nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face. The children he raised were excellent, and he understood that, so these things happened.
However, Gu Xiong never doubted that it was Gu Xiangning who did it. Even when he attacked Qian Jiujiu, the direct beneficiary was Gu Xiangning, he never doubted Gu Xiangning.
Gu Xiangning understood that his adoptive father had never doubted him even though he had told all these things. Thinking of this, Gu Xiangning was moved.
He was abandoned at birth. If it weren't for his adoptive father, he would not have survived. His adoptive father always treated him like his own child and raised him carefully.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiangning felt touched, and when Wanyin came back and saw the smile on his adoptive father's face, Gu Xiangning was even more happy for his adoptive father.
His adoptive father had worked hard all his life and he deserved happiness. Gu Xiong was also happy when he heard what Gu Xiangning said: "That's why I came to find you."
"I'll leave this matter to you. You must do it well."
Gu Xiangning nodded: "Son, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely get it done."
Gu Xiong looked at Gu Xiangning and said, "Xiangning, don't worry, the position of Young Master will always be yours. Jiujiu will not snatch it from you."
Gu Xiangning was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Gu Xiong to say such a thing. Then he smiled and said, "Dad, what are you thinking about? Others may not know, but I do."
"Once you become the island master of Mingyue Island, you are not allowed to leave Mingyue Island for the rest of your life. This is why you didn't leave the island to look for your stepmother. I understand your character."
"She can't stay in one place all the time, it's not realistic, she'll run away, so I never worried about it."
Gu Xiong suddenly remembered that Gu Xiangning might know Qian Jiujiu better than he did.
