w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ couldnt help but step back, her face full of disbelief. No, Old Master, are you joking with me?

Gu Zhicheng tried to rea.s.sure her. Please consume it, you wont die. Youll only lose the ability to speak. As the mistress of the Gu family, even without words, you can still live well

Before he could finish, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ interrupted him, 1 wont eat it! You eat it yourself!

Im doing this for your own good! Gu Zhicheng frowned.

It was the best option at the moment, so why couldnt she see it?

Haha, for my good? Say that out loud and let people hear, is this really for my good? w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ shouted, Anyway, I wont eat it!

Have you two reached an agreement? Gu Qingluans cold voice echoed.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ immediately pointed at her and cursed her for lacking any decency.

Gu Qingluan curled her lips mockingly.

A beam of white light fell on w.a.n.g s.h.i.+.

She let out a miserable cry, clutching her painful shoulder.

With a nonchalant glance at Gu Zhicheng, Gu Qingluan said, My patience has its limits.

Gu Zhicheng didnt dare delay any longer upon hearing this. He seized the moment and firmly grasped w.a.n.g s.h.i.+s chin, prying her mouth open, and stuffed the poisoned pill inside.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ struggled vehemently, tears streaming down her face, a plea evident in her eyes.

Unfazed, Gu Zhichengs skilled hands easily subdued her.

The pill dissolved upon contact.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ immediately convulsed, her face turning an abnormal shade of red.

Recognizing something was amiss, Gu Zhicheng quickly released her.

Due to the intense pain, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ fell to the ground, rolling in agony.

Gu Zhichengs face turned pale. Madam!

Ah! Alih! w.a.n.g s.h.i.+s pitiful cries sounded distorted, with her voice reduced to monotonous tones, unable to form even half a sentence.

Such a condition was far beyond mere loss of speech.

Gu Zhicheng immediately stood up, his expression full of shock. He confronted Gu Qingluan, Didnt you say this was a pill that would cause her to become mute? Why is w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ like this? You deceived us!

Gu Qingluans lips curved in a smile. I merely said that w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ wouldnt be able to speak. Look, isnt she unable to speak now?

Indeed, she couldnt speak.

But it was merely a misunderstanding on Gu Zhichengs part.

He thought that being unable to speak meant just thatbeing mute.

Yet this time, Gu Qingluan was filled with fiery anger. How could muteness be the only consequence?

She had to make w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ pay the price!

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, and the entire Gu family, needed to understand that provoking her would invite retaliation!

Upon hearing Gu Qingluans words, Gu Zhichengs face turned red with rage.

She had clearly misled him!

However, given the circ.u.mstances, what could he do?

Fight? He couldnt win.

The poison? He personally fed it to w.a.n.g s.h.i.+.

If news got out, his reputation would suffer the same fate.

You are truly wicked!

In response to these words, Gu Qingluan emitted a gentle laughter and remarked, Theres no way my wickedness could match up to all of you.

Today its w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, tomorrow it might be you, Gu Zhicheng, and even Gu Lingxue

It didnt matter, one by one, they couldnt escape.

Without casting another glance at the two, Gu Qingluan turned and departed.

The look Gu Qingluan gave him before leaving left Gu Zhicheng frozen in place, his words forgotten for a moment.

After a while, he finally reacted and raised his voice to call for a physician, or rather, to find Zhang Sheng for help.

Yet despite searching the entire mansion, Zhang Sheng was nowhere to be found.

The effect of the antidote that Gu Zhicheng fed w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ wasnt evident.

Finally, a physician arrived, but after examination, he could only shake his head, unable to offer any help.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ didnt die, but from then on, she could only lie in bed like a stroke victim, unable to speaka state worse than death.

Her hatred was boundless, but she couldnt voice a single curse.

Upon hearing the news, the rest of the Gu family members were thoroughly taken aback.

For a while, those agitated thoughts were kept at bay..
