"Is there a real uncle like you?!" The shopkeeper roared out of righteous indignation, grabbed a broom in the corner and wanted to drive away Mr. Zhen, "That Hong Changgui is not a good guy at all!"

"A bad gambler, isn't he the nephew of your wife's natal family!"

"This is not for kissing at all, but to rob our master and girl's family business!"

The more the shopkeeper talked, the more angry he became, his old face flushed red.

Mr. Zhen, who was almost hit by the broom, took two steps back in embarrassment, a vein popped out of his forehead, and said arrogantly in a natural tone: "Who will steal the family business?"

"I'm the eldest son in the family. If the old man hadn't been eccentric and gave the family business to Xu Xian and the youngest son...these should all be mine."

Looking around at the gold, silver and jewels around him, Mr. Zhen's eyes burst out with a greedy light.

Zhen Ruzhu frowned, took another step closer to Mr. Zhen, and retorted angrily: "Before grandfather died, uncle, you made a fuss about dividing the family. You divided two thousand acres of fertile land, while my father only divided two thousand taels. As soon as my grandfather left, you drove my grandmother and my father away, and even wanted to grab the two thousand taels of silver."

"My father worked hard for half his life to save this family business, but what about you? You are addicted to gambling, and you have gambled away the two thousand acres of fertile land that your grandfather left you."

One mu of ordinary fertile land costs ten taels of silver, and her family property worth twenty thousand taels has been completely ruined by her uncle, and now she still covets her own property.

"What do you know, a little girl, talking nonsense?!" Master Zhen's face turned green and pale, but he still held his head high, and scolded, "When the family was separated, you hadn't been reincarnated yet!"

"Your father has been in control of you since childhood, that's why he let you out of this obedient temper, and dared to contradict your elders. Now that your father is ill, I, as an uncle, will teach you a lesson for your father!"

Master Zhen's expression turned from embarrassment to anger.

"Miss Zhen, is your father sick?" An Le frowned slightly, "I remember seeing your father last time he was still in good spirits." It's not been a few days.

A bit of bitterness appeared on Zhen Ruzhu's face, and her voice was a little hoarse, "My father was ill three days ago, and he can't stay in bed now..."

It was because her father was ill that she had to fight alone here.

Zhen Ruzhu had always looked shrewd and capable before, but she was only sixteen years old after all. At this moment, a crack finally appeared in that strong shell, revealing a deep sense of exhaustion and worry.

Gu Yanfei asked, "What are your father's symptoms?"

Zhen Ruzhu took a deep breath, tried to stabilize her emotions, and said in a difficult voice: "My father has a heart attack, and suddenly started to feel palpitations and chest pains three days ago..."

She was only halfway through when she was coldly interrupted by Master Zhen: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Saying that, Mr. Zhen walked a few steps towards Gu Yanfei and An Le, and looked at them contemptuously, "This is my Zhen family's housework, and I don't allow you outsiders to comment on it. Today, Zhen's Yinzhuang is not doing business. !"

This tone seemed to be that he was the boss of this Yinzhuang.

"Then I can always 'put the beak'." A weak and hoarse male voice happened to pick up Master Zhen's words.

The door curtain was lifted, and the shopkeeper looked in the direction of the door curtain, and shouted: "Boss."

Boss Zhen, wearing a black cloak, walked in slowly with the support of a servant.

He looked frail and shambling, his face was pale and his lips were slightly purple.

"Get out!" Boss Zhen looked deeply at Mr. Zhen, and said weakly and with difficulty but quite firmly, "If you want to get rid of the clan, go for it, I won't serve you anymore!"

After speaking, a mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth.

The bright red blood left a pool of blood on the bluestone brick floor, which was shockingly red.

"Father!" Zhen Ruzhu was terrified, Huarong rushed towards Boss Zhen with pale face, and held his father's other arm.

Boss Zhen grabbed his daughter's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't marry..." How could his daughter marry such a malicious scum!

Boss Zhen's body went limp, and he passed out, and he vomited several blood from his mouth.

There were pools of blood on the ground, even Zhen Ruzhu's dress was stained with blood.

"Father, don't scare me? How are you?" Zhen Ruzhu's eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to cry, "Hurry up, call the doctor!"

A clerk hurried out to ask for a doctor, while Zhen Ruzhu and the servants supported Boss Zhen who passed out and sat down on a chair.

Mr. Zhen stood with the general's belly upright, his hands behind his back, shook his head and sighed, "Look, you are the one who beat your father."

"Ruzhu, you are obedient, women always marry and have children."

"I don't want to marry!" Zhen Ruzhu gritted her teeth, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, but her stubborn expression remained the same, she picked up a pair of scissors next to her, "Today, I will comb myself!"

As she said that, she was about to get her hair cut, her eyes were red, with a bit of sadness and determination.

She would rather groom herself and never marry for the rest of her life than to lure wolves into the house and let others dictate her fate!

"It's not a disease." Gu Yanfei's clear and gentle voice sounded again, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She looked at the haggard face of Boss Zhen who was unconscious on the chair, and said with certainty, "It's poisoning."

Poisoned? !

There was silence in the room.

Everyone's face changed, especially Zhen Ruzhu's slender body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning.

The scissors in her hand came out with a bang and fell to the ground, and a strand of hair cut by the scissors was falling lightly from midair...

Zhen Ruzhu almost wanted to ask "Are you sure?", but bit the tip of her tongue forcefully, and quickly looked at An Le's expression. Seeing her take it for granted, she knew that what the girl said was probably true.

With grief and anger in her heart, she bit her lips deeply, and then heard Gu Yanfei say: "Miss Zhen, your father not only suffers from palpitations and chest pains, but also dizziness, fever and fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea, right?"

Zhen Ruzhu nodded quickly: "Yes."

Gu Yanfei said: "Do you see if your father's tongue is swollen?"

Zhen Ruzhu quickly opened Boss Zhen's mouth, looked at it, and nodded again: "Yes!"

Gu Yanfei said again: "Are your father's nails turning white or purple?"

Zhen Ruzhu looked at Boss Zhen's nails again, and nodded again: "Yes!"

Zhen Ruzhu's eyes widened. From the surprise just now, to now, she has completely convinced Gu Yanfei.

This girl got it all right!

It turned out that Dad was not sick, but poisoned!

The strand of cut hair slowly floated to the ground and landed on a pool of blood on the ground.

Zhen Ruzhu's face became paler and paler, and she asked in a trembling voice, "May I ask what kind of poison my father has been poisoned by?"

She wasn't stupid either. After the extreme shock, a certain guess emerged in the fog of confusion: before her father was seriously ill, she didn't think much about it. But if father was poisoned, then the timing of his poisoning was too coincidental...

Zhen Ruzhu's heart felt like colic, and she was terrified: Dad is her only relative in this world!

If he hadn't met the Eldest Princess and the others today, what would have happened to Daddy?

Zhen Ruzhu hardly dared to think about it.

"Oleander." Gu Yanfei said slowly, "It only takes a little bit of this poison to produce the above-mentioned symptoms, and it won't be fatal."

"When you 'get married', your father's 'sickness' will naturally improve. At that time, even if your son-in-law saved your father's life, it will be tantamount to confirming your statement that fate is hard."

"Oleander juice can also numb a person's skin and even cause paralysis."

Once Boss Zhen is paralyzed, he will naturally no longer be able to manage his own business, life would be worse than death.

Zhen Ruzhu is still young, and she bears the name of "defeating her father and mother". She will only be hated by others, which means she has lost her foothold since then.

The son-in-law not only gained a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but also easily controlled the Zhen family's property, which is really a good plan!

"It's a waste of money." Gu Yanfei concluded.

Zhen Ruzhu's face became paler and paler, and she also wanted to understand the pros and cons of it. Hatred surged in her heart, and she looked at Mr. Zhen wishing to cut him into pieces.

Master Zhen's face was as ugly as Zhen Ruzhu's, with panic, shock, and anxiety in his eyes.

Gu Yanfei took out a talisman from his sleeve pocket, and with a shake of his hand, a corner of the talisman ignited spontaneously without fire, and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

He casually shook Fu Hui into the cup of tea that he hadn't drunk yet, "Let your father drink it."

"Thank you, girl!" Zhen Ruzhu suppressed her emotions, thanked Gu Yanfei choked up, and wanted to go forward to bring the cup of talisman tea on the table, but was rudely pulled away by Master Zhen.

"Ruzhu, this girl is a swindler. Your father is clearly ill, so she just took a look and didn't even take a pulse, just talking nonsense."

"Don't go to the doctor in a hurry!"

Grandpa Zhen reprimanded Zhen Ruzhu a few more times with his elder airs, and then pointed at Gu Yanfei's nose and said, "Tell me, where did you come from to be a liar, and you want to use this talisman water to poison my second brother! "

"A liar like you, I should arrest you and bring you to the court!"

Master Zhen walked towards Gu Yanfei in stride, and his big palm like a cattail fan grabbed her...

Gu Yanfei sat leisurely on the chair, motionless, neither dodging nor dodging, his eyebrows and eyes were even bent in joy, and he pressed one hand on the Xuanyan whip at her waist.

"Wow—"

A cup of scalding hot tea was poured towards Mr. Zhen...
