Gu Zhao rode his horse out of the city to greet Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie.

When Old Madam Xie heard the sound, she asked someone to lift the curtain. As soon as the curtain was lifted, she saw Gu Zhao running in and throwing himself into Old Madam Xie's arms.

"Zhao'er."

Old Madam Xie hugged Gu Zhao and burst into tears.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Old Madam Xie hugged her granddaughter tightly, feeling extremely excited.

"Grandma, Zhao'er misses you so much."

"Grandma misses you very much, too."

Old Master Xie stroked his long beard and looked at his granddaughter with a smile.

"Grandma, please don't cry." Gu Zhao said with concern.

After two incense sticks of time, the carriage arrived at the gate of Xie's house.

Although Xie's house only had four courtyards, its location was excellent, and it was surrounded by the houses of officials of the fourth and fifth ranks.

"Old Master, Old Madam, Third Master."

The steward of the Xie Mansion brought the servants to the door to greet the masters.

After Gu Zhao got off the carriage, he discovered that when his grandmother and her companions came, they brought more than 20 carriages.

Gu Zhao helped Madam Xie walk towards the main hall. She saw that her grandmother had a lot more white hair. She was only fifty years old, but she looked like she was over sixty.

"Grandma, did you not take the medicinal food I prescribed for you?"

Hearing her granddaughter's words, Mrs. Xie said with a smile.

"Grandma was busy a while ago and didn't eat much."

"You must take it every day starting today."

As Gu Zhao spoke, she stretched out her hand and felt Madam Xie's pulse.

After a while, Gu Zhao's expression changed.

My grandmother was poisoned.

No wonder my grandmother looked so unhappy.

"Zhao'er, why do you look so ugly?" asked Old Madam Xie.

"You have been running around these days and your body is a little weak. Your granddaughter will give you acupuncture later to help you recover a little."

Old Master Xie listened to his granddaughter's words and noticed that something was wrong with Gu Zhao's expression.

After talking for a while, Old Master Xie asked Madam Xie to take his wife back to the room to rest.

"Grandfather, third uncle."

Gu Zhao saluted them.

"Get up quickly."

Old Master Xie looked at his granddaughter with a smile.

"What happened to your grandmother?"

Hearing his grandfather's words, Gu Zhao replied.

"Grandma was poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

Gu Zhao nodded.

"This is a strange poison..."

Gu Zhao told his grandfather and third uncle about the power of this strange poison.

"This poison must be taken in small amounts and multiple times. It is colorless and odorless, and can be put into dishes. It cannot come into contact with vinegar or soy sauce. If it comes into contact with soy sauce and vinegar, it will turn red and have a fragrance... It can also be put into burning incense..."

When Old Master Xie heard this, his brows furrowed deeply.

"A dish without vinegar and soy sauce? We don't seem to have eaten it these days."

Uncle Xie San said after hearing what his father said.

"Father, we had dinner with the Second House a few times a while ago. The dishes the Second House usually eats are very light."

what?

When Old Master Xie heard this, his face changed drastically. What did the youngest son mean by the second wife?

When Gu Zhao heard what his third uncle said, he thought of his great uncle's family.

My second uncle was born out of wedlock, but he grew up with my grandfather. I heard that my great-grandmother treated my second uncle very well and loved him like her own son. After the two families separated, they were given more than 100,000 taels of silver, as well as some other family property.

"Your second uncle and his family would never do such a thing."

Old Master Xie subconsciously explained for his brother.
