“Father, did Mother have lunch? And you, you haven’t eaten either, right?” Chu Jin asked boldly.
After Chu Ziluo knew that Chu Heng was not that fierce, she mustered up her courage to look at him.
Chu Heng looked up at Chu Ziluo. “Your mother has had her lunch. She also drank the ginger soup.”
“Ziluo, your mother is sick and needs a good rest. Take good care of your brother for us today.”
Chu Jin wanted to refute that he had grown up and did not need anyone to take care of him. However, when he saw Chu Heng’s cold side profile, he did not dare to say anything.
“Father, if anything happens to Mother, you must tell me.” Chu Ziluo saw that her father’s expression was natural and that her mother’s condition was not serious. She nodded and took over the task of taking care of Chu Jin.
Chu Heng nodded in agreement and did not want to say anything more.
“Oh right, don’t go to your mother’s room.”
Chu Ziluo was confused, but she still nodded and agreed. Then, she pulled Chu Jin back to the study.
“Sister, why are you pulling me?” Chu Jin asked indignantly as soon as he entered the study. “I wanted to sneak into the room to check on Mother.”
“In the past, even if mother was sick, she would not stay in the room and not come out. Unless it was like the last time because I fell into the water…
Chu Ziluo patted his head lightly. ‘What nonsense are you talking about? The last time Mother was sick, Father was very worried. He was always by Mother’s side and never left her side.”
“It didn’t happen this time. It seems that mother is really fine.” “Really?” Chu Jin was still in disbelief.
“Then go ask Dad if you have the guts.” Chu Ziluo pouted.
“Hmph, I don’t believe I can’t find a chance to sneak into Mother’s room.”
“Are you stupid?” Looking at her stubborn brother, Chu Ziluo could not help but knock him on the head. “The doctor will be here soon. We’ll ask the doctor secretly after he examines Mother.”
“When will the doctor come?”
“Soon.” Chu Ziluo was worried as well, but she trusted her father, so she was not as anxious as Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was traumatized by Ye Muyu’s accident and could not get rid of it in a short period.
After a while, the doctor came.
It was Lu Sangqi, whose alias was Qi Sang.
Chu Heng was not surprised to see him.
He frowned. He did not want Lu Sangqi to get close to Ye Muyu, but he thought of Ah Yu’s health.
“Don’t say anything you shouldn’t. Just take her pulse,” he warned before entering.
“Scholar Chu, you are wrong. I am a doctor. I naturally have to look, hear, and ask…” Before Lu Sangqi could finish his words, he met Chu Heng’s cold eyes.
Lu Sangqi shivered and felt a chill in his heart. Chu Heng was just an ordinary scholar, but Lu Sangqi could sense the aura of a superior in him.
“If you want to end the cooperation, just challenge my bottom line,” Chu Heng said.
Lu Sangqi had been deliberately going against Chu Heng. Although he had asked Chu Heng for help because of his family’s problems, he had been at a disadvantage both in the prefecture and in the village.
Now that he had finally caught hold of the other party’s weakness, he naturally wanted to repay him.
However, it was obvious that Chu Heng, this black-hearted man, would not be so easy to deal with.
Lu Sangqi felt wronged, but he had no choice but to stop resisting. A moment later, he grinned and said naturally, “Of course, I was just joking. Please don’t be angry, Scholar Chu..”
