Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 746 - 582 Not a Good Thing

Wang Yue was locked in the room, already anxious at heart, not understanding the Gu Family’s intentions.

Chang was previously sleeping in the room, and now it’s time for him to wake up. But she’s not by his side, so she worries whether Chang would cry.

Suddenly, the voice of Mrs. Li came from nearby, startling her.

"How do you say that? I haven’t even entered the room, how could I place the medicine? Mrs. Li, don’t try to pin your wrongdoings on me."

Wang Yue, full of anger, started shouting at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Wang was originally pondering on what she should do in the future. She didn’t understand why the Gu Family locked them inside the room, which she found a bit frightening.

Gu Chengyi is dead. Does the Gu Family want those who have shared a bed with him to be buried alongside him?

"Is it you who placed it, you should know in your heart. It’s just that you begrudge the master neglecting you all these years, isn’t it?"

Originally, Mrs. Li wasn’t planning to make a scene about this matter, but Wang Yue yelling like this and trying to pin the matter on her, how could she endure?

"Humph! Now that I have Chang, even if he’s neglecting me, I’m not afraid. Unlike you, where in the past two years even an egg hasn’t been lain."

Wang Yue was provoked at her sore spot by Mrs. Li, feeling infuriated, started speaking without any restraint.

She thought Mrs. Li would fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Li just snickered and then walked to the other corner of the room to sit down.

Wang Yue was a bit surprised, but soon she remembered how Mrs. Li had been pregnant last year.

Later, somehow, that child was gone.

She thought Mrs. Li cried alone due to the salt rub on her wound.

Wang Yue didn’t pay any more attention to Mrs. Li; she had to inquire about Chang’s current situation from the doorman.

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Wang, her eyes showing mockery, then casually said: "It’s better not to have a son; his father is a brute, and the seed left behind by a brute isn’t anything good either."

The other two heard these words and were stunned; what did this mean?

Wang Yue looked at Mrs. Li in this state, suddenly feeling a bit creepy.

Even Mrs. Wang distanced herself a bit from Mrs. Li, thinking her cousin seemed somewhat different at this moment.

The third son saw his second brother standing idly, and helplessly turned to go into the room.

He understood that his second brother despised their father!

This is their father; even if their father was unkind to him, as a son, it’s obligatory to clean his father’s body.

"Second brother! Bring some water!" The third son shouted towards the outside.

The second son saw the third son had already gone inside, so no longer mentioned calling Wang Yue and Mrs. Li over.

"Bring these two doctors to me," Gu Chengyu supported Mr. Gu back, and when passing by Ming Mo, he said softly to him.

In the main room, Ming Mo came in with two doctors.

"This is my master! The master has questions to ask you, you must answer truthfully."

The two exchanged glances, then bowed to Gu Chengyu, "The commoners pay respects to the master!"

At first, they didn’t know they were coming to Gu Family, only now realizing this was the Gu Family known for producing officials.

It is heard that the Gu Family held a banquet today, even the County Magistrate attended!

But not knowing Gu Chengyu’s intent made them somewhat uneasy. After all, Gu Chengyi’s death indeed had some relevance to them.

"Was the medicine sold from your medical hall? My brother bought tiger penis powder from your hands, didn’t he?" Gu Chengyu asked directly.

One of them opened his mouth to speak, but was pulled by the other beside him.

"We did sell the tiger penis powder at Renhe Hall, and your brother indeed bought it from our medical hall several times. However, the medicine has minimal impact on the body if taken in small amounts. Your brother’s death was due to excessive intake; everything in excess is harmful, I’m sure the master can understand us."

This person thought since Gu Chengyu asked so clearly, he certainly didn’t allow them to lie or evade, so it’s better to speak straightforwardly.

Furthermore, if Gu Chengyu really intended to investigate, he would have detained them first rather than having the patience to ask them, right?

The other one saw him speak out, though disgruntled inside, could only accede.

"Oh? Really no impact? But I asked renowned doctors who said that such medicine has significant effects on the body! My brother died from consuming your tiger penis powder; is your medical hall meaning to disregard human life?"

Gu Chengyu not only wanted to validate his thoughts but also wanted these two doctors not to spread rumors later, hence he threatened a bit.

The speaking one then stammeringly replied: "How do you come to this? Disregarding human life is absolutely not dared. This medicine, when consumed frequently, indeed has some effects. But our medical hall would always tell patients when selling to use sparingly, with intervals reaching half a year. And each intake shouldn’t exceed half a gram; your brother didn’t adhere to our instructions."

Actually, this matter couldn’t be blamed on the medical hall, as they couldn’t possibly follow patients home, could they?

Like selling kitchen knives; if someone killed with a knife, it couldn’t be blamed on the blacksmith!

Gu Chengyu naturally understood this principle, but being an official now, he didn’t need to talk about principles.

Of course, Gu Chengyu also didn’t intend to let Renhe Hall close or hold them accountable for his brother’s death; it was unnecessary.

"If your medical hall weren’t selling this harmful powder, my brother wouldn’t have died so young."

"But similar medicine powder is available in other medical halls as well! Many people need this medicine, yet others have had no incidents!"

The two both smiled wryly; did Gu Chengyu mean to squeeze some silver from the medical hall?

But they couldn’t decide on this matter, needing to ask the owner of the medical hall for silver, right?

It was still the previous speaker who wanted candid conversation with Gu Chengyu, but didn’t expect him not to give this opportunity.

"No matter what, my brother’s death was indeed due to your tiger penis powder. I don’t want you to pay silver, nor do I want your medical hall closed. Just ensure that after you leave, to declare outwardly it was a sudden death; wouldn’t this be easy to accomplish?"

With Gu Chengyu’s words, the two were relieved.

They were a bit surprised at Gu Chengyu’s amenability.

"Thank you, master, for not pursuing this matter. We’ll definitely tell the owner to cease selling tiger penis powder in the future."

Changing the name, it can still be sold. When this master goes to the Capital, he won’t likely oversee the Shanhe Town matters, right?

"However, I have one more thing to ask you; you must answer truthfully."

The two quickly agreed in anxiety, assured of saying all they know.

"When was the last time Gu Chengyi went to your medical hall to buy medicines? Is your porcelain bottle full?"

"Just two days ago, I remember it clearly." another stepped forward to answer.

The medicine Gu Chengyi bought was from his hands; he had a strong impression of Gu Chengyi.
