Chapter 627: Being a Subordinate Is Too Difficult
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The doctor was taken aback and quickly replied, “It seems you won’t be able to cultivate arcane power anymore in the future!”
Bang!
Gu Jinrong fell off the bed onto the floor.
“Rong’er!” Gu Zhixin hurriedly rushed to help him.
Gu Hongkang’s body swayed, and in an instant, he seemed to have aged several years.
He had two sons; the eldest was crippled, and the second was mediocre. Among his grandchildren, there was only Gu Jinrong, although his granddaughter, Gu Lingxue, possessed exceptional talent and was the most outstanding. However, in his heart, he still favored his grandson, hoping that in the future, Lingxue would support Jinrong and strengthen the Gu family.
He didn’t hesitate to use a favor to restore his grandson’s arcane power, only for the situation to take such a sudden turn.
Could it be that the heavens were displeased with the Gu family and determined to torment them?
“You wretched girl, i’ll kill you! I’m going to kill you!”
Gu Jinrong struggled, attempting to pounce on Gu Jinyue.
His disheveled appearance and ferocious expression showed no trace of a noble family’s grace.
In his struggle, the wound on his abdomen, which had just been bandaged, ruptured once again, and blood seeped through the white cloth.
“Rong’er, calm down a bit!”
“Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down? This freeloading scoundrel actually harmed me! Father, 1 want to kill her, don’t stop me!”
Gu Jinyue was held back by two servants, and as she watched Gu Jinrong’s pitiable state, a satisfied expression crossed her eyes.
Gu Jinrong, you deserve this!
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself!
Unfortunately, she couldn’t speak; otherwise, she wouldn’t mind saying a few more words to infuriate the other party.
While Gu Zhixin comforted Gu Jinrong, Gu Hongkang noticed Gu Jinyue’s expression and furrowed his brows, asking, “Yue’er, why did you do this? He’s your own elder brother!”
Why did she do this?
Gu Jinyue smiled insincerely and tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Back when she accompanied him to the Eastern Sea to find the Island of No Return, how did he treat her? He personally broke her hand and sewed up her mouth, all for the sake of his own worthless life!
This time was no different. In order to secure the only chance for treatment, he blamed her and made her shoulder the responsibility, robbing her of the opportunity to regain her ability to speak!
He was the one who acted unrighteously first, so he shouldn’t expect any fairness!
If she weren’t going to have an easy life, he shouldn’t expect one either! No one should live a better life!
Feng Residence.
Gu Qingluan had already gone to sleep when a slight commotion came from outside.
She scanned with her divine sense and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Old Master Gu is here to see Elder Wei. He wants to ask Elder Wei to treat
Third Young Master Gu.”
Gu Qingluan got up from her bed.
Feng Tianlan, who was sleeping on a soft couch, also woke up.
“You sleep, I’ll go and take a look.”
Feng Tianlan replied, “Put on a coat, it’s chilly at night.”
Gu Qingluan smiled silently.
With her cultivation level, she wouldn’t feel cold.
However, she still draped a large cloak with fur trim over her shoulders.
“Elder Wei treated Gu Jinrong just yesterday. Could it be that they’re here to cause trouble?”
When she reached outside, Gu Qingluan asked with a puzzled expression.
Qianxi covered her mouth and laughed. “You won’t believe it, but it’s like a family feud in the Gu household. Fourth Lady Gu sneaked into Young Master Gu’s room at night and stabbed him with a sword, damaging his dantian.”
Gu Qingluan showed a surprised expression. “Gu Jinyue has gone mad?”
Qianxi clicked her tongue in amazement. “1 guess she’s almost gone mad. Who would have thought she would target her own elder brother?”
“Madam, do you want to go and see?”
Gu Qingluan shook her head. “Forget it, it’s a mess. Let Elder Wei handle it himself. We’ll be leaving tomorrow, and there’s no need to waste energy on unrelated people.”
“Then, Madam, please go back inside and rest.”
Gu Qingluan returned to the room, exchanged a few words with Feng Tianlan, and then lay down to sleep.
Feng Tianlan communicated with Jing Feng, who was stationed outside, instructing him to handle things and not disturb Qingluan unless necessary.
Jing Feng had a hard time with this.
Didn’t Master say that in all matters, we should prioritize Madam? Since it concerns the Gu family, he thought Madam might want to know, so he allowed it.
But now, Master seems unhappy with him.
Sigh, being a subordinate is really difficult.
