The two of them went upstairs. Xiaobai ran over quickly and handed a bottle of medicine to Gu Ming. She said a few words in a low voice.

Gu Ming took the medicine and handed it to Bei Cong. He said calmly, “Mr. Bei, please leave.”

Bei Cong took the small blue and white porcelain bottle and said angrily, “Why are you being so smug? You don’t want to be a good rich second-generation heir but a watchdog for others!”

Gu Ming’s expression did not change at all. He only made a “please” gesture.

Bei Le called out gently, “Brother Gu Ming—”

“Madam Bei, Mr. Bei, Miss Bei, should I send you out or should I call the security officers to come in and send you out?” Gu Ming interrupted Bei Le and raised his voice slightly.

Bei Cong held the medicine tightly in his hand and looked at Bei Le.

Bei Le refused to give up. She looked at Gu Ming. “Brother Gu Ming, my sister just said that I was poisoned. 1 know what’s going on. Is this medicine the antidote?”

Gu Ming said calmly, “You can go to the hospital directly. If you don’t trust Young Madam, you can choose not to eat it.”

Shen Yu was dissatisfied. “Gu Ming! What kind of attitude is that? After all, you grew up with our family’s food. Why? Are you going to pretend to be a stranger to us now? Where are your manners?”

Gu Ming didn’t react to Shen Yu’s harsh words. His attitude was still indifferent, as if he wouldn’t listen.

Bei Le struggled to get up with tears in her eyes. “Mom, stop talking. She doesn’t want to acknowledge us now. Why should we be thick-skinned and try to build a relationship? Since Sister and Brother-in-law don’t like us, we won’t disturb them anymore. Gu Ming, 1 have to trouble you to pass a message to my Sister and Brother-in-law—”

Bei Le stopped crying and revealed a smile. “She wants to cut ties with the Bei Family? That’s impossible. We’re family, flesh and blood. How can Sister stay out of it? If my reputation is ruined this time, I’ll definitely pull everyone along. Anyway, I don’t care anymore.”

She held Bei Cong and gestured for him to take her away.

Bei Shuo watched the Bei family members leave with a puzzled expression. “What is she up to now?”

Mu Ci said indifferently, “Ignore them. You did the right thing. You don’t have to care about the Bei Family in the future.”

Bei Shuo said in a low voice, “But Bei Le’s condition is very strange.”

“How is it strange?” Mu Ci asked.

Bei Shuo wanted to say something but hesitated.

Mu Ci said gently, “What do you want to say? Tell me so that I can help you analyze it.”

Bei Shuo told Mu Ci what Mu Yao had said. “Mu Yao has nothing to do, but she only helped to encourage it. Bei Le and Mu En did have something on first. Even if it wasn’t Mu Yao, someone else would probably expose it. I just checked Bei Le’s pulse and realized that she seemed to have been poisoned by the Snow Pill. Hence, I concluded that Bei Le was indeed with Mu En.”

Mu Ci was not interested in anything else. Bei Le and Mu En were to blame.

However, when he heard that Bei Le had been poisoned by the Snow Pill, he could not help but ask in confusion, “Why is the Snow Pill poisonous?”

Bei Shuo frowned. “Brother, I don’t know how to explain this either. The Snow Pill is indeed a good medicine to save lives. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it can revive the dead. However, any medicine is 30% poisonous. Some of the ingredients of the Snow Pill counter each other. Hence, we have to supplement the treatment process with detoxification after using the Snow Pill.”

“It’s already a mistake for Mu En to take strong medicine for his mild illness. He didn’t undergo any detoxification after taking the medicine, causing him to be different from ordinary people now. It’s only the initial stage and will be even more serious in the future. However, I don’t know what the consequences will be, so I asked you to send someone to pay close attention to him.”

Bei Shuo couldn’t help but sigh. “All these years, this is the only pill that has been lost. 1 didn’t expect it to end up like this. Master never told me about the consequences of using this medicine. It’s obvious that no one has ever encountered it before. From the looks of it, Bei Le was poisoned because she was with Mu En.”

“I don’t know why this happened, including how to treat her. It’s not that 1 don’t care about her, but I don’t know how to manage her. Their situation is completely different from yours, and they won’t trust me like you do. Even if I say this, they won’t believe me.”

Mu Ci was also secretly shocked. He comforted Bei Shuo. “Bei Shuo, life and death are fated. You can’t save someone you’re not fated to. There’s no need to think so much and make things difficult for yourself. Mu En wants to reconcile with Shen Su, but he’s still with Bei Le. Bei Le knows Mu En has a girlfriend, so there’s no need to pity her. She might not take the medicine you gave her. Don’t waste your feelings..”
