Gu Yuzhu felt that the wife of the sheriff wanted to say something to herself, but because the people at the door came in too fast, she didn't have time.

A group of people rushed in from outside, some were dressed in brocade clothes, some were carrying medicine boxes, and some were dressed as maidservants.

As soon as you walk in, the whole room is filled up in an instant.

And at that moment, Gu Yuzhu found a gaze fixed on her, and she followed that gaze keenly to look back.

——It was a middle-aged man in brocade clothes. The other person's appearance was unremarkable. The whole facial features were combined together, and there was nothing delicate about him, but he was not necessarily ugly.

After all, you must know that when the entire Tianfeng Dynasty selects officials, it requires people with sound limbs and good facial features. If the appearance is too ugly, they will not be able to enter the official career.

Regarding the identity of this person, Gu Yuzhu had a simple guess.

"My lord." The address from Mrs. Junshou confirmed Gu Yuzhu's guess.

In an instant, Gu Yuzhu raised his vigilance to the highest level.

Hearing his wife's call, the sheriff turned his eyes away from Gu Yuzhu's body. He quickly stepped forward, then stood beside the bed, holding the sheriff's wife's hand, "How is Madam doing now?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Mrs. Song is here today, saving my life."

"Mrs. Song?" The sheriff's gaze fell back to Gu Yuzhu's body in this room. Since he came, he has been such an outsider. It is self-evident who is the Mrs. Song that my wife said, but the surname is Song. , A flash of light flashed across his eyes, and he had some guesses.

"Ahem." The sheriff's wife tightened her hand slightly, emphasizing it again, "This is my savior."

The tone of the word "benefactor" is emphasized.

"Yes, what Madam said is true, why don't you hurry up and see a doctor for Madam." The sheriff finally took his eyes away from Gu Yuzhu, and ordered the doctor to come over quickly.

But if you look closely, there seems to be a smoldering anger in his eyes.

But few people found out.

The only ones were Gu Yuzhu who had been watching him secretly, and the wife of the sheriff who had been married to him for many years.

Seeing this, Mrs. Sheriff's eyes were clouded, she said nothing with a cold face, and let the doctor feel her pulse.

There seemed to be a strange atmosphere in the house.

It wasn't until a rather young man stood up to smooth things over, "I just found out that my mother fainted my father, but I was so anxious that I couldn't even take care of my business, so I rushed here. It is rare for my son to see his father so worried."

The Sheriff's Madam's complexion seemed to have improved.

The doctor just got up and reported back: "Madam's body is the same as before. As long as you can take medicine in time when you have an attack, pay attention to regulating your body on weekdays, and don't have too much mood swings, you won't have any major problems."

A very general answer.

It is also an answer that cannot be faulted.

At least, if this was left in the past, the sheriff's wife would not have any doubts.

However, Gu Yuzhu had a few words with himself before they came in.

Could the poison disappear without a trace from his body in such a short period of time?

The magistrate's wife doesn't know medical skills, but she knows common sense. Her heart fell to the bottom again, but she had to cheer up to deal with the people in the house.

She first let her husband leave, and then ordered her personal servant girl: "Send Mrs. Song back."

Knowing that she had good intentions, Gu Yuzhu didn't push back, but said gratefully: "Thank you, madam."

She turned away.

The sheriff gave his confidant a look.

The confidant turned around and chased after him, and stopped Gu Yuzhu as soon as he went out: "Mrs. Song, please wait a moment, Mrs. Song, please wait a moment."

The sound echoed in the night, and could be heard even inside the house, and Gu Yuzhu couldn't pretend to be deaf.

She was forced to stop, "Is there anything else?"

The servant came forward with a smile on his face and handed over a box: "Mrs. Song saved our wife today. The county governor is very grateful. There is really nothing in return. Please accept this little thing."

He didn't put the box into Gu Yuzhu's hands immediately, but opened the box with a bang.

The colorful lights poured out, almost blinding Gu Yuzhu's eyes.

Fuck, what is it?

Gu Yuzhu silently raised her hand to cover her eyes, and after a while, when she was almost used to it, she put down her hand.

After taking a closer look, I realized that the box was full of precious stones.

Not to mention red sapphires, there are also agate and emeralds, piled up in a small box, at least dozens of brightly colored and extremely pure gemstones.

Because the color is so good, these gemstones look so shining under the dim street lights.

Such gems, even if placed in the circle of celebrities and nobles in the capital, are the existences that everyone flocks to.

This county guard is really big, and I don't know how many people's fat and anointment he has searched.

But with a short mouth for eating people and soft hands for grabbing people, Gu Yuzhu would never accept this kind of hot potato anyway. She humbly declined the other party's "good intentions".

"You don't get rewarded for nothing, I just sent the magistrate's wife back, how can I afford such a heavy gift, you should take it back as soon as possible."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, with hurried steps, as if standing behind her was a scourge.

The boy panicked for a moment, and said loudly: "This is specially prepared by the county magistrate for you, madam. Is it a gift prepared by the lord looking down on you?"

Gu Yuzhu's face collapsed with displeasure.

Threatening her?

The big maid next to her scolded "idiot" in her heart, thinking of Madam Song's attitude towards Mrs. Song, she quickly explained in a low voice: "This is just what the adults mean, not what the madam means."

Gu Yuzhu's mood improved a bit, and after thinking about it, she suddenly walked up to the boy and asked him, "Do you have a purse on you?"

The boy didn't know why, but he remembered that the sheriff ordered him to please the lady in front of him, so he took out a small money bag from his chest as he said.

— This is his own money.

Gu Yuzhu weighed the weight of the purse and raised his eyebrows slightly.

A servant has so much savings, the county guard's mansion is full of oil and water.

She opened the purse, unceremoniously took two pieces of gold from it, and smiled slightly: "I always get money in a proper way. In my opinion, this is enough to pay off favors. Now you can take those things back."

After finishing speaking, she threw the purse into the box and called the maid, "Let's go."

The maid answered yes with a smile on her face.

The figures of the two hurriedly disappeared into the night.

Only the servant remained in a daze.

When the boy came to his senses again, he had already lost the great opportunity to catch up. Holding the box, he finally couldn't help showing a toothache expression on his face.

It was his money, his money!

The task is not completed, how can he go to reimburse the county magistrate.
