Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Looking for Second Brother (Thanks to Chu Xia Ru Yu for the reward and addition)
Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er remained silent.
Xiaosuisui, however, piped up, "It was that bad woman, your Eldest Aunt, who afflicted you with it. Your father has one too."
The color drained from Xie Pan’Er’s face, and she quickly turned to look at Xiaosuisui. "Princess, how do you know these things?"
Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er were also very curious and turned their gazes towards Xiaosuisui. "Yes, how did you know?"
In the bell, Ah Ling felt like dying all over again. She helplessly massaged her temples and mentally reminded Xiaosuisui, "Tell them you figured it out from his father’s complexion. Under no circumstances are you to mention me."
Xiaosuisui obediently did as she was told. "I noticed it from his father’s complexion. Their symptoms are the same. I could tell at a glance."
"Are you that capable?" Zhu Xiuxiu found it a little hard to believe.
Huo Xing’Er, however, did not doubt her. "She has inherited the true essence of Ji Youran’s Medical Skill; she’s capable of seeing it."
Zhu Xiuxiu’s lip twitched. "How long has she been learning medicine? Can she already diagnose by observation?"
Huo Xing’Er wanted to hit her. "How long did it take her to learn your lightness skill?"
Zhu Xiuxiu’s face stiffened. She dared not say any more. She could not out-talk her Second Sister-in-law!
"Your Eldest Aunt afflicted you with a Gu Insect? When did this happen? Big Brother, why did you never tell me?"
Xie Si, still completely stunned, shook his head. "I don’t know! It’s not like Eldest Aunt gave me anything special to eat, and I’ve never felt any discomfort. I haven’t even had a minor illness in all these years. How could there be a Gu Insect in my body?"
Xie Si’s words made Xie Pan’Er doubt whether Xiaosuisui was telling the truth. If it was true, then Xiaosuisui’s Medical Skill was too heaven-defying. Yet, even if it wasn’t true, she instinctively felt that Xiaosuisui’s Medical Skill *was* indeed heaven-defying.
"That’s right! You haven’t even caught a cold in years, just a bit on the thin side. I also can’t believe you have a Gu Insect in your body. Princess, could you please take his pulse properly again and see what’s really going on?" Xie Pan’Er still couldn’t believe all of this. Deep down, she trusted Xiaosuisui, but she wanted to cling to a sliver of hope.
Xiaosuisui shook her head. "Pretty Sister, I’m absolutely sure! Big Brother is fine because this Gu Insect is just sleeping inside him; it’s not active. But if this Gu Insect stops sleeping, wakes up, and starts moving, Big Brother will be in terrible, terrible pain."
Xiaosuisui’s words plunged Xie Pan’Er’s heart into despair! "So that’s how it is. It all turned out to be like this! That venomous woman from the Lin Family! I’m going to find her!" With that, Xie Pan’Er strode towards the main branch of the Xie Family.
Zhu Xiuxiu looked at Huo Xing’Er. "We..."
Huo Xing’Er rubbed her temples. How did things spiral out of control like this? "Xiaosuisui can’t remove the Gu Insect." If it were an ordinary poison, Xiaosuisui has an Elixir that can cure all poisons, but this is a Gu Insect.
"So we just let the little girl be constrained like this?" When Zhu Xiuxiu finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something. "Second Brother! He should be able to remove it, right?!"
Huo Xing’Er lowered her eyes, saying nothing.
"I... I’ll go find Second Brother." With that, Zhu Xiuxiu stood up, holding Xiaosuisui.
"Fine! Xiaosuisui is also tired; she should go back for a nap. You go and ask your Second Brother to come over. From what Xiaosuisui just said, I suspect the other paired Gu Insect is in Xie Wulang’s body. After you go home, don’t come out. Just stay home and play with Xiaosuisui!"
The upcoming matters of the Xie Family needed to be resolved, and it really wouldn’t be good for the little girl to witness it. Zhu Xiuxiu understood what she meant and agreed.
However, who was Xiaosuisui? She was currently incredibly curious about the Gu Insect in Xie Si’s body. How could she possibly obey and stay put?
