Chapter 295: Please Have Some Meat
Gu Youyou felt there was a hidden meaning in his words.
Gu Feng continued, "When you were little, your illness was peculiar. Back then, the family couldn’t afford a good doctor, and given the rapid progression of your sickness, I had no choice but to trust that odd person. Later, someone told me they saw that person at the entrance of the village giving you something to eat. Zijin also told me that your disease came from that person."
His eyes, clouded with age, held a hint of melancholy as he said, "You were young and got deceived, and we... failed to discern right from wrong, which led to you suffering for ten years."
Gu Youyou was slightly surprised, not because someone had tricked little Gu Youyou into eating something that made her sick, but because Gu Feng also knew about these things.
It seemed that Jin Zijin took her out of the Gu Family home and must have revealed some truths to convince Gu Feng.

Even if grandfather’s health improved, he wouldn’t grieve over grandmother’s death anymore; his physical condition couldn’t return to what it once was.
He had aged, and each illness took its toll.
