w.a.n.g Shi couldn’t 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 won’t die. You’ll 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 Shi interrupted him, “1 won’t eat it! You eat it yourself!”

“I’m doing this for your own good!” Gu Zhicheng frowned.

It was the best option at the moment, so why couldn’t 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 Shi shouted, “Anyway, I won’t eat it!”

“Have you two reached an agreement?” Gu Qingluan’s cold voice echoed.

w.a.n.g Shi 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 Shi.

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 didn’t dare delay any longer upon hearing this. He seized the moment and firmly grasped w.a.n.g Shi’s chin, prying her mouth open, and stuffed the poisoned pill inside.

w.a.n.g Shi struggled vehemently, tears streaming down her face, a plea evident in her eyes.

Unfazed, Gu Zhicheng’s skilled hands easily subdued her.

The pill dissolved upon contact.

w.a.n.g Shi 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 Shi fell to the ground, rolling in agony.

Gu Zhicheng’s face turned pale. “Madam!”

“Ah! Alih!” w.a.n.g Shi’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, “Didn’t you say this was a pill that would cause her to become mute? Why is w.a.n.g Shi like this? You deceived us!”

Gu Qingluan’s lips curved in a smile. “I merely said that w.a.n.g Shi wouldn’t be able to speak. Look, isn’t she unable to speak now?”

Indeed, she couldn’t speak.

But it was merely a misunderstanding on Gu Zhicheng’s part.

He thought that being unable to speak meant just that—being 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 Shi pay the price!

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

Upon hearing Gu Qingluan’s words, Gu Zhicheng’s face turned red with rage.

She had clearly misled him!

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

Fight? He couldn’t win.

The poison? He personally fed it to w.a.n.g Shi.

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, “There’s no way my wickedness could match up to all of you.”

Today it’s w.a.n.g Shi, tomorrow it might be you, Gu Zhicheng, and even Gu Lingxue…

It didn’t matter, one by one, they couldn’t 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 Shi wasn’t evident.

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

w.a.n.g Shi didn’t die, but from then on, she could only lie in bed like a stroke victim, unable to speak—a state worse than death.

Her hatred was boundless, but she couldn’t 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..
