Last night, Doctor Du came to check Gu Yuxuan's pulse and said that if they couldn't find a solution soon, it would be too late for him. Upon hearing this, Li Ruofeng fainted. When she regained consciousness, she continued to cry, her eyes swollen and red from tears. She truly couldn't care less about the old lady's opinion; she was desperate for her son.
She didn't believe that Gu Qingning would refuse her request in front of everyone.
“Aunt, I really don't remember. It might be in some corner, or it could have been taken by someone. In any case, I truly don't know where it is,” Li Ruofeng pleaded, crawling to Gu Qingning's feet and tugging at the hem of her dress.
“Who took it? Aunt, please think hard,” she continued to beg.
“Daughter-in-law!” Finally, the matriarch Gu spoke from her seat of honor.
She couldn't bear to watch Li Ruofeng and Gu Qingning in such a pitiful state, begging for mercy.
Seeing the matriarch speak, Gu Yan stepped forward to help Li Ruofeng up.
“Mother, please get up!”
Li Ruofeng forcefully shook her off and continued to kneel before Gu Qingning.
Gu Yan shot a fierce glare at Gu Qingning. When did this girl become so formidable?
“Aunt, please get up,” Gu Qingning said with a hint of a smile, urging Li Ruofeng to rise.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Ruofeng turned to the matriarch and asked, “Mother, I remember that when you were seriously ill back then, it was my sister-in-law who fed you the medicine that made you better. Is that right?”
“Why bring this up?” The matriarch looked confused.
Li Ruofeng couldn't care less about her confusion and pressed on, “I wonder if you still have the medicine my sister-in-law left for you back then?”
The matriarch's gaze flickered as she replied curtly, “No.”
“Is it really not there, or are you unwilling to take it out to save your only grandson?” At this point, Li Ruofeng began to lose her composure, her tone filled with dissatisfaction as she questioned again.
At that moment, Gu Qingning felt like standing up and applauding Li Ruofeng. In her previous life, when Gu Yuxuan was gravely ill and Li Ruofeng came to ask for the medicine, the matriarch had scolded her harshly before finally exchanging silver notes for the medicine to save Gu Yuxuan.
Little did she know that her daughter Gu Yan was the one who had caused their family's downfall.
In this life, let her go wild!
“Enough!” The matriarch could not tolerate being questioned like this by her daughter-in-law. She valued her reputation and dignity above all else and could not swallow this insult.
She would never willingly part with her belongings to save a sickly grandson, especially since she had more than just Gu Yuxuan as her only grandchild. There was no reason for her to waste something valuable on someone undeserving.
"Mother, I know you have a medicine in your possession, but why won't you take it out to save your only grandson? Don't you care about him?"
Li Ruofeng had no idea that at this moment, Old Madam Gu had no intention of saving Gu Yuxuan.
Gu Qingning smiled slightly, finally getting to the point. "Xuan'er is my grandmother's grandson; of course, I care about him. How about this: please invite Doctor Du over here later to see if the medicine can treat Xuan'er. If it can save him, I won't cling to this one medicine, will I?"
The thought of giving up the medicine made Old Madam Gu's heart ache. Everyone knew she had the medicine that Si Min had left for her, and if she refused to agree, it would be hard to justify.
Caught in a dilemma, she could only pray that the medicine would have no effect on Gu Yuxuan.
A hint of mockery flashed across Gu Qingning's lips; this Old Madam Gu was quite shrewd!
By having Doctor Du come over for an assessment, if the medicine proved useless, she could keep it for herself; if it was effective, she could still gain a reputation as a good grandmother.
It truly was a win-win situation!
