These words embarrassed Qu Rou.
If she didn’t trust Mo Rao, didn’t it mean she didn’t trust Old Madam Qu?
“Miss Mo is a guest I invited. I naturally trust her. You should respect her.” Old Madam Qu frowned slightly and reprimanded her.
Her granddaughter had always been obedient. Why did she seem like a different person whenever she saw Mo Rao?
Seeing that Old Madam Qu was speaking up for Mo Rao, Qu Rou became even more unhappy. However, she could only bury her negative emotions in her heart and wheedle, “Grandma, I know. Let’s go in quickly. Don’t catch a cold.”
Old Madam Qu nodded and called Mo Rao into the house.
Qu Ru, who had been neglected the entire time, stared at their backs with hatred. She wished she could pounce on Mo Rao and Qu Rou and tear them apart.
Recently, because Qu Rou had returned to the Qu family’s home, Qu Xue had paid less attention to her.
Every day, Qu Ru was like an invisible person in the Qu family.
If Mo Rao had not interfered back then, Qu Ru definitely would have been able to marry Fu Ying successfully. This way, the Qu family wouldn’t look down on her!
All of this was Mo Rao’s fault!
Qu Ru gritted her teeth, but now that Mo Rao had Fu Ying’s protection, she didn’t dare to do anything.
After entering the house, Mo Rao began to nurse Old Madam Qu back to health.
Old Madam Qu was still groggy. She fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
Looking at Old Madam Qu’s pale face, Mo Rao frowned. She took out a silver needle and inserted it into Old Madam Qu’s right hand.
After waiting for a while, Mo Rao gently pulled out the silver needle and her eyes widened.
The tip of the silver needle was black.
Old Madam Qu had been poisoned.
Mo Rao didn’t expect someone from the Qu family to be so ruthless to Old Madam Qu.
Her mother had already been harmed by Qu Xue and Qu Qin. Old Madam Qu treated her so kindly, so Mo Rao didn’t want her to be hurt again.
It seemed that this time, not only did she have to think of a way to gather evidence, but she also had to investigate Old Madam Qu’s poisoning.
This poison was probably a slow-acting poison. After accumulating over the years, the poison would seep into Old Madam Qu’s organs. Fortunately, Mo Rao discovered it in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Mo Rao carefully detoxified Old Madam Qu’s body one needle at a time. A layer of sweat appeared on Mo Rao’s forehead.
Soon, Old Madam Qu’s complexion improved and her breathing became steady.
Only then did Mo Rao feel relieved. She packed up the silver needles and left Old Madam Qu’s room.
“Mo Rao, you’re really impressive.”
However, just as Mo Rao walked out of Old Madam Qu’s room, she heard a very unfriendly voice.
Qu Rou walked in front of Mo Rao arrogantly and sized her up disdainfully. “As an orphan, you first hooked up with the Fu family, and now, you want to hook up with the Qu family?”
“People without parents are so shameless! Let me tell you, I won’t let Grandma be deceived by you!”
Hearing Qu Rou mention her mother, Mo Rao clenched her fists.
If not for Qu Rou’s mother, Qu Xue, her mother wouldn’t have been separated from her parents.
She didn’t understand. They were clearly family, but why did her relatives all seem so unhinged?
If not for Old Madam Qu’s kindness, Mo Rao wouldn’t have wanted to reunite with the Qu family.
“You’re so rude and obnoxious. Even if you have parents, it’s equivalent to having no parents.” Mo Rao didn’t even look up as she spoke. She walked around Qu Rou and planned to leave.
Qu Rou was furious with Mo Rao. She grabbed Mo Rao’s hand and shouted, “You actually scolded me?!”
“I’ll get Grandma to chase you out!”
“Old Madam Qu is resting. Can you lower your voice?” Mo Rao shook off Qu Rou’s hand. “You say that you love your grandmother, but you actually only think about yourself.”
“You!”
“Qu Rou, why are you making a scene again?” At this moment, Qu You walked over in amusement.
Qu Rou snorted. “It’s none of your business.”
“We all saw Mo Rao’s medical skills last time. Grandma invited her again because of her brilliant medical skills. Now that Grandma can finally sleep in peace, stop arguing.” Qu You stood beside Mo Rao and spoke up for her. “Otherwise, Grandma will think that your mother didn’t teach you well.”
