Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 181: Gu Ruxue Here Again

Subcounsciously, he gave it to Gu Chaoyan who had treated him and fed him the tea. “Please, Miss. Doctor, help me identify what is inside!”

Considered as “Miss. Doctor”, Gu Chaoyan did not counter a thing. She took the bag with outstretched hand.

The Third Brother arose instantly seeing that she was about to get the bag, expecting to grab away the bag, but he was not faster than Gu Chaoyan. Before he realized what happened, Gu Chaoyan already got the bag.

As the bag was opened, a very strong smell greeted her nose. It was not a healthy thing, judging from the smell.

“This is arsenolite, not as strong as white arsenic, but strong enough to kill someone within a day’s time.” Then Gu Chaoyan turned to the poisoned man with a look of sympathy. “You are lucky to have run into me, or you wouldn’t have lived to see the next day.”

“Nonsense! That is not poisonous, it is just some drug that causes diarrhea!” The Third Brother shouted.

Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly and threw a look at the man who tried to defend himself.

If this Third Brother had been panicking after poisoning his brother, she might have assumed that he himself was tricked into using this kind of drug. But this Third Brother had not shown a single hint of surprise from the beginning and kept seeking trouble from Restaurant Tianxiang. That made her feel certain that this man was perfectly aware of what he had fed his brother.

“If that is the case, what about eating it yourself?” Gu Chaoyan said calmly as she put some powder into the teacup and passed it to the man. “Drink it then. If it is just some drug that causes diarrhea, you can get away with it easily, can’t you?”

With eyes gazing at the teacup, the man did not dare to make a further move. He was shivering.

“You don’t dare to?” Gu Chaoyan asked coldly.

The man kept shivering and did not dare to accept the cup.

Gu Chaoyan put the teacup on the table and looked at the manager of Restaurant Tianxiang. “You must understand what happened, Manager. I will leave the rest to you to deal with.”

The manager said to Gu Chaoyan with full gratitude. “Which mansion are you from, Miss? I will pass on my appreciation to you when I am done with them.”

Gu Chaoyan simply shook her head, then she left with Sword One, Sword Two and Qing.

As for what happened at Restaurant Tianxiang, Gu Chaoyan was sure that the manager was able to handle it properly, otherwise Restaurant Tianxiang would not have been so popular for so long.

She had intended to take a walk around the city, but due to what happened at Restaurant Tianxiang, the time became quite late. So they headed directly back to the Gu Mansion instead.

At the Qiong Pavilion.

Gu Ruxue was seated in the hall. That was quite abnormal, since Gu Ruxue never liked taking a seat at the Qiong Pavilion. Now the Qiong Pavilion was getting better in embellishment, she could tolerate being there for a short while.

Seeing Gu Chaoyan returning from outside, she showed her arrogance directly and looked at Gu Chaoyan with her chin up. She asked with dissatisfaction, “Where have you been, Sister? Have you forgotten what Madame Gu asked you to do? You are not supposed to go out and cause trouble!”
