Chapter 163 The Gods Appear Again
Gu Xingzhao remembered that when she looked at the system shop before, water was only a few dozen yuan a bottle. Now, it's seven hundred and ninety-nine yuan. They're just raising the price on the spot!

Ha, who do they think is the sucker?

She left her coordinates, closed the system pop-up, returned to the modern world, rushed home as fast as she could, climbed out of the TV, grabbed the kettle on the table, and was about to rush back into the TV when she discovered that the kettle was empty.

Gu Xingzhao could only rush downstairs to the supermarket he had been using as a warehouse, dig out a large bucket of mineral water, and carry the water back to ancient times.

At this moment, Qiuyue's eyes reddened. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, said something to Lu Youtiao who was sitting on the bed, and then picked up the teapot to go out and get some water.

Gu Xingzhao immediately turned on the water and passed the water to Qiu Yue. The large bucket blocked Qiu Yue's way!
The sudden appearance of the huge object startled Qiu Yue. In the dim light, she could see clearly that what was blocking her view looked like a bucket of water, and she was immediately stunned.

She just saw it with her own eyes; the bucket suddenly appeared!
Qiu Yue's heart stirred slightly. Could it be that even the heavens couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer?

But what if Yang Fang used some underhanded means to get this water?
She dared not gamble, for this concerned the girl's life, and immediately picked up the teapot and headed outside.

Gu Xingzhao's temples twitched. He quickly spent another 19,999 yuan in the mall to exchange for a communication tube, threw it on the ground, picked up his own tube, and called out to Qiu Yue, "Stop."

The sound echoed in the empty room. Lu Youtiao, lying on the bed, was too weak to think about it, while Qiuyue thought she was hallucinating and didn't take it seriously.

Gu Xingzhao's voice rang out again, "You're not hallucinating, the water on the ground is mine, it's for your master to drink."

Qiu Yue was so frightened that she hugged the teapot tightly, looked around but couldn't see anyone, her eyes filled with fear: Is it haunted?
Gu Xingzhao immediately introduced himself, "I am a deity who protects the Lu family, not a ghost."

Upon hearing this, Lu Youtiao on the bed reacted, leaning out and weakly asking, "Qiuyue, who's talking over there?"

At this moment, Qiuyue had calmed down, and her eyes became wary. She dared not leave the room and ran back to the bedside to guard Lu Youtiao. She was afraid that if she left the room, this person would harm her master.

The so-called gods protecting the Lu family are probably just a new trick by that ingrate, a mere pretense of divine intervention.

Qiu Yue was filled with righteous indignation: "Master, this must be someone sent by Yang Fang to play tricks. Don't be afraid, I'll stay here and see what tricks he can pull!"

Gu Xingzhao fell silent. In fact, it was good to be cautious. After thinking for a moment, she took out Lu Qing's handwritten letter from her pocket and placed it on the small table beside the bed. "Miss Lu, I have come here to deliver a letter on behalf of your grandfather Lu Qing. You will know whether it is true or not after you read the letter."

She remembered that Lu Youtiao was the old man's first granddaughter, so he doted on her. He even taught her to write by hand and always let her run around in his study. So Lu Youtiao should be able to recognize the old man's handwriting.

Upon hearing her grandfather's name, Lu Youtiao became noticeably more energetic, and her eyes lit up. This was the first time she had heard news about her family from someone else since the Lu family's incident. She immediately struggled to get up and get the letter, regardless of whether it was some kind of conspiracy by Yang Fang.

Qiuyue quickly pressed down on her excited young lady, "Miss, please don't move, I'll go get it for you."

When she opened the letter, she even took the candlestick from the table to make it easier for the girl to read it, but she kept the letter a little distance away from the girl because she was worried that it might be poisoned.

However, upon seeing the contents of the letter, Lu Youtiao was already in tears, exclaiming, "It really is my grandfather's handwriting!"

Qiu Yue was stunned. It really was the master?

Lu Youtiao took the letter from Qiuyue's hand, her hands trembling with excitement. In the letter, her grandfather said that the whole family had been protected by the spirits of their ancestors. This time, he wanted to invite all the relatives in the clan to go to the north to take refuge. He asked about her health, the attitude of the Yang family, and whether they had mistreated her.
The letter was signed with a pseudonym known only to his grandfather and himself.

Tears streamed down her face, each drop landing on the letter. She murmured to herself, a bittersweet laugh escaping her lips, "Everything's alright at home. It's good that everything's alright, it's good that everything's alright."

Qiuyue tenderly took a handkerchief to wipe away the girl's tears.

While Lu Youtiao was reading the letter, Gu Xingzhao used the system to scan Lu Youtiao's physical condition. [Initiating medical testing...]

[Diagnosis: The patient's body was weakened due to early miscarriage. Because the condition was left untreated, she developed iron-deficiency anemia. Due to improper care, bacteria entered her body, causing infection. She also has chronic toxins in her body, posing a serious risk to her life.]

[Treatment recommendations: Take anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications to simultaneously detoxify the body, regulate the body, supplement nutrition, take good care of the body, and maintain a good mood.]

The system panel displayed a detailed description of Lu Youtiao's situation.

Gu Xingzhao was slightly taken aback, "The child in your belly?"

Lu Youtiao gave a bleak smile, "That's all."

Gu Xingzhao's eyes darkened slightly. Yesterday, the old man mentioned how his granddaughter was pregnant, and wondered if she would be as mischievous as his granddaughter after she was born.

She suddenly remembered that there was a concubine in the mansion who was pregnant. Based on her years of experience writing novels, she knew that the child was definitely not lost by accident.

How did the child die?

Before Lu Youtiao could speak, tears welled up in her eyes, and her throat felt sore and uncomfortable.

Feeling sorry for her mistress, Qiuyue immediately spoke up for her, saying, "On the day the master and the others left the city, the young lady wanted to see the master off, but Yang Fang locked her in the courtyard. Later, he came to coax her and even made her drink some medicine to prevent miscarriage, and as a result, the young lady miscarried that very night!"

"That beast initially pretended to call a doctor to see her, saying that the girl had miscarried due to the shock. I didn't believe him, so I secretly took the dregs of the medicine and went outside to find a doctor at a clinic. The dregs had safflower added to them, which is why she miscarried!"

Gu Xingzhao frowned. "You still have a slow-acting poison eroding your body. Do you know who put it in there?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue's eyes blazed with anger, and she cursed, "It must be that beast!"

"Abortion wasn't enough; they wanted the girl's life too."

Lu Youtiao was in pain and didn't want to talk, while Qiuyue stood by with red eyes, her words filled with sympathy for her young lady.

Gu Xingzhao opened his mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but he really had no experience in this area.

Lu Youtiao wasn't stupid. Everything Yang Fang did was for his career advancement. She only regretted that she had misjudged people, which led to her current miserable situation.

Gu Xingzhao thought for a moment and felt that at this time, the greatest comfort for Lu Youtiao would be to go to her family. She immediately asked, "Do you want to leave here and go find your grandfather and the others?"

Tears welled up in Lu Youtiao's eyes. She naturally thought, "But this mansion is full of Yang Fang's people. I can't get out at all."

Even if I escape, my current physical condition probably won't allow me to see my family again.

Qiuyue whispered from the side, "Miss, we can sneak over the wall and escape."

Why would you climb over a wall?

Gu Xingzhao sneered, "With me here, I will lead you out of the Yang family's gate in broad daylight tonight."
