Chapter 1874 The Most Beautiful Woman in the World 1

Liu Rushi and Su Rongrong's health became increasingly weak, and ordinary doctors could not find out what was wrong with them, so Su Kangyong had to invite a witch doctor again.

This time, after the witch doctor came and carefully felt their pulses, he exclaimed, "There are other poisonous insects in their bodies."

"What kind of insect?"

"Looking at your symptoms, they look very similar to those of the Yuan-devouring Gu."

"What kind of Gu?"

"As the name suggests, Yuan-devouring Gu are insects that consume the human spirit. They feed on essence and blood. Over the years, a person will only become increasingly tired and thin, and their health will deteriorate, but no symptoms will be apparent."

"Then how do we break this Gu?"

The witch doctor shook his head and said regretfully, "Once these insects enter the body, they won't come out unless the host dies."

"What, there's no other way?"

"No, if you eat more, take more supplements, and work hard to take care of your body, you may be able to live longer. If you have no appetite, I'm afraid you won't last more than a few days."

When Liu Rushi and Su Rongrong heard this, they felt like the sky was falling.

Why, why did they get poisoned by this kind of poison?

Su Kangyong used the excuse of seeing the witch doctor off and went to the outer courtyard with him. He finally asked the question he hadn't asked before: "How many days can they survive like this?"

The witch doctor told them the truth: "If they are nourished with tonics, they can probably live for another two or three years. But by then, their bodies will be extremely weak, and a single cold will kill them."

"Only two or three years?"

"Well, it's just that using high-quality tonics to nourish yourself is also a considerable expense."

Liu Rushi and Su Rongrong, who were in the house, could not accept or let go of the news.

Su Rongrong really couldn't understand why they were poisoned by this kind of insect. Suddenly, she thought of the poison she had given Su Yan. That poison had the same effect, but it was slower than this insect.

Su Rongrong's eyes widened, and she said to Liu Rushi with some suspicion, "Mother, do you think Su Yan knew that I poisoned her, so she had someone poison me with the same poison?"

Liu Rushi was shocked and said anxiously, "No way, how could she know? And if that's the case, then isn't she hiding it too well?"

The two of them couldn't help but shudder, and were extremely panicked.

Su Kangyong ordered his people to stew some warm and nourishing precious ingredients for the two of them every day. At the beginning, there was some effect, and the complexions of the two of them improved a lot.

But as the money was spent like water, Su Kangyong felt extremely depressed.

He is a great tutor, but his life is becoming more and more difficult. If this continues, the dignity of the entire Su family will be lost.

He really couldn't help it, so he ran to Su Yan to ask for money.

"No, that's the dowry my mother left for me. How can a father have the nerve to ask his daughter for it?"

Su Kangyong explained, "I only used it to help with the emergency. The Su family's expenses are now insufficient, and Dad just doesn't want others to laugh at the Su family. You are my daughter, and we will prosper together. You must understand this."

Su Yan ruthlessly refused again, "I understand, but the Su family is broke and should cut back on spending. They should increase income and reduce expenditure. If you expect me to support those blood-sucking worms in the Su family, even if I have a lot of dowry, it won't be enough. Dad, don't ask me to borrow money. I don't have any anyway."

"Why are you so stubborn? Do you think your life will be better if the Su family is ridiculed?"

"It's easier, my quality of life won't be affected."

"How could you be so selfish!"

"Dad, don't you know that like father, like son? I learned this from you. You are so selfish, how can you expect your daughter to be generous?"

"Nonsense, when did I ever teach you this?"

"Dad, you taught me by example, and I learned from you."

"How dare you! Today you have to give it to me, whether you want to or not."

Su Yan spread his hands and said, "If you don't believe me when I say there's no father, then go find one yourself."

Su Kangyong sent people to search for money, but after searching for a long time, he did not find a single copper coin. In anger, he ordered people to move away the valuable decorations in Su Yan's yard.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Dad, go ahead and move it. If you're not afraid of being laughed at, then move it. This is a fake that I bought in the East Market for hundreds of taels of silver."
