Chapter 599: The Strange Event in the 4th Courtyard
Although Qin Huairu knew everything, she didn't say anything. After all, tonight was the time to deal with Jia Dongxu, so she had to keep calm now.
In the evening, Qin Jingru put the herbs aside and went to bed. After all, the day had not gone well. He Yuzhu now had a new wife, but what did it have to do with her?
Qin Huairu came over and handed the herbs to Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, I bought this from an old Chinese doctor. It will definitely be good for you this time."
Qin Huairu had started this plan a month ago, because she was afraid that if she suddenly asked Jia Dongxu to drink the herbal medicine, Jia Dongxu would refuse to drink it, which would be bad.
Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu and said helplessly, "Okay, I know my own physical condition. Don't waste money like this anymore. Do you hear me?"
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu's sickly appearance and felt disgusted, but she still managed a smile on her face and replied, "Okay, I know. Then you can drink these herbs for the last time. I won't buy them again."
Jia Dongxu didn't think much about it. After all, he didn't know where Qin Huairu heard that drinking herbs could cure diseases, so he kept drinking these hard-to-swallow herbs.
Although he knew that the herb tasted bitter, Jia Dongxu didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that it seemed to have some effect after drinking it, so he began to drink it slowly.
Jia Dongxu didn't want to lie down all the time. After all, it was really boring to stay in the house. If he could go out, he would definitely teach Gu Nan a lesson.
Qin Huairu stood aside, watching coldly, secretly calculating when the rat poison would take effect. That would be the time for her to show off her acting skills.
However, the rat poison does not take effect immediately. After Jia Dongxu drank the medicine, he just felt a little sleepy, so he lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
On the other side, He Yushui supported Yu Haitang back home. As soon as they entered the door, He Yushui couldn't wait to ask: "Haitang, what do you think of my brother?"
Yu Haitang looked at He Yushui and replied with a smile: "Brother Zhuzi's cooking is really delicious."
Yu Haitang knew what He Yushui meant, so she didn't say anything else. After all, it wasn't good to say too much, and she and He Yuzhu really couldn't do that.
He Yushui looked at Yu Haitang with a smile and said softly, "Haitang, you are single now, and my brother is also single. What do you think will happen if you two are together?"
Yu Haitang couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard this. She muttered to herself, why would He Yushui suddenly have such an idea? You know, everyone knows what happened between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu!
However, despite having many doubts in her heart, Yu Haitang did not express them directly. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Yu Shui, you may not know that I just experienced a breakup, and my mood has not fully recovered. So, I want to take it easy and consider the relationship after some time."
Seeing this, He Yushui didn't want to continue asking. She understood Yu Haitang's feelings. After all, a broken heart is not an easy thing for anyone. Moreover, Yu Haitang already lives in this courtyard. There is plenty of time to spend with her in the future, so there is no need to rush.
At this moment, Yu Haitang suddenly raised her head and stared at He Yushui, as if she had something to say. After a while, she finally asked, "Yushui, can you tell me how Gu Nan has been doing during this period?"
He Yushui didn't think much about it and answered truthfully: "Gu Nan, he is living a good life now! Especially after he came back from abroad, his life has been smooth sailing. I heard that he also has a lovely daughter named Gu Shiwan, and the family is happy."
You know, He Yushui is a little envious of Ran Qiuye. After all, she can eat delicious food every day, and Gu Nan is really good to Ran Qiuye.
After hearing this, Yu Haitang's face changed slightly, and an indescribable sense of loss surged in her heart. She couldn't help but think of every little bit she had with Gu Nan, and those beautiful memories flooded into her heart like a tide. However, the reality was so cruel that she could only accept it all silently.
Although she was a little unhappy, Yu Haitang still resisted the urge to say anything more. She knew that all this was caused by her past choices and she could not blame anyone else. Now, she could only wish Gu Nan and his family happiness forever, and she also needed to start over and find her own happiness.
As for disrupting Gu Nan's life, Yu Haitang actually had this idea, but she really didn't know what to think, so she looked at He Yushui and said, "Yushui, let's take a rest."
He Yushui was indeed a little tired, so he didn't say anything else.
The courtyard seemed to have returned to its peaceful state. In the second half of the night, Jia Dongxu suddenly started to have a stomachache, but he couldn't move. He could only shout: "Qin Huairu, come here quickly, my stomach hurts, what's going on?"
Qin Huairu knew that the rat poison had taken effect, so she didn't say anything else. She ran over in a hurry and said, "Dongxu, what's wrong with you? Why do you have a stomachache?"
Qin Jingru was also awakened from her drowsy sleep, so she came over and said, "Sister, what happened?"
Qin Huairu pretended to know nothing and looked at Qin Jingru on the side: "Jingru, you stay here and watch. I'll go get someone."
Qin Jingru could only watch here obediently. Qin Huairu felt that as long as she delayed a little, Jia Dongxu would leave.
After Qin Huairu went out, she started yelling, "Help! I don't know what happened to Jia Dongxu. Is he poisoned? Come and have a look."
Yi Zhonghai was half asleep but he still went out. He Yuzhu was also very anxious. After all, they lived in the same courtyard, so how could he bear to see Jia Dongxu get hurt?
Everyone in the courtyard came out. Gu Nan was also half asleep. He looked at Ran Qiuye and said, "Qiuye, you continue to look after the child. I'll go out and see what's going on. Why is there so much noise outside?"
Ran Qiuye didn't want to go out and see, so she went to sleep. After all, what happened outside had nothing to do with her.
Gu Nan put on his clothes and went out, listening to Yi Zhonghai looking at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, why are you shouting so late at night? Did something happen?"
Qin Huairu just kept crying there, not knowing what to say.
