She Did It on Purpose

"Shi'er, is it true?" Madam Wei rushed forward in a single stride, tightly grasping Gu Shiyan's hand.

Gu Shiyan was weak and nodded slightly. A glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's hearts.

Gu Jingwen lowered his posture to the utmost. "Physician Zheng, I beg you."

Physician Zheng also didn't have full confidence. "Master, I can only do my best to try."

The Old Madam kept chanting, "As long as the Elder returns, Ning'er's legs will surely be saved."

Everyone clung to this belief.

Gu Shiyan lowered her gaze slowly. Unseen by anyone, a sinister smile flickered in her eyes. She did it on purpose. Intentionally giving them hope, and then letting them watch helplessly as that hope shattered. That would cause even more pain, wouldn't it?

Master didn't actually go to gather herbs. At this moment, he was in the courtyard she had arranged for him. She didn't need to check to know that he was probably drunk and dazed again.
