Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Not Hesitating to Gamble with Other Lives Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Not Hesitating to Gamble with Other Lives “This is utter nonsense.”
Lin Caisang cursed under her breath.
“How many days has he been unconscious? Where is he, take me to him quickly.”
This Zhong You, although young, always seems to find trouble. If he’s not provoking others, he’s poking needles into himself, showing a complete disregard for his own life.
It was tough enough saving one person, and now another one is down.
Does he want to infuriate her to death, or make her die of laughter?
“He’s been unconscious for two days, please follow me.”
Upon hearing that Lin Caisang was willing to help, Old Master Zhong was overjoyed and immediately led her towards Zhong You’s room.
Much later in Zhong You’s room, Lin Caisang pulled out a silver needle and took a breath of relief.
“Thankfully, it was just one needle and the force wasn’t too strong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it.” Looking at Zhong You, who to her was still a boy, she sighed deeply and shook her head.
At his age, he should be enjoying carefree days filled with happiness. But he has been consumed by the family estate, to the point of recklessly gambling with other people’s lives.
It was something she couldn’t bear to watch.
“Old Master Zhong, it’s undeniable that Young Master You, in many ways, is far more superior than your Young Master Yun.”
Everyone else had already left the room, leaving the unconscious Zhong You, herself and Old Master Zhong. She stopped being polite and spoke straightforwardly.
“Yes, yes, you’re right.”
Old Master Zhong agreed with her and didn’t refute her words.
“However… You’er is, after all, a concubine’s son. Even though he’s clever…” He shook his head, sighing helplessly.
After all, it wasn’t his sole decision to make for the family. He built this family from scratch with his wife – he couldn’t possibly cause a rift between them for a concubine’s son. What would others think of him then?
Hearing this, Lin Caisang stopped talking. After all, this was the Zhong Family’s affairs. The actions of Zhong You were too excessive, considering that Grand Old Master Zhong was his biological grandfather.
“What I mean to say is, Young Master You is quite gifted in medicine. If he could learn from a good master…” She looked towards the large bed.
Upon hearing her words, Old Master Zhong’s face became even graver.
He had also brought this up with his father, but as soon as he did, his father flew into a rage. He said that if Zhong You were to learn more, wouldn’t everyone in the family eventually be killed by him?
Besides, no one in the Zhong family had ever studied medicine. If Zhong You were to learn from a good teacher, wouldn’t it be like creating a separate family? It would be a severe breach of filial piety to disregard the elders and establish a separate household.
These were his father’s exact words.
Although he intended to make arrangements for You’er, his father’s condition had just improved, and he didn’t want to upset him at this time.
“This matter… will depend on Grand Old Master’s decision, hehe, hehe.”
Lin Caisang simply hummed in agreement without saying anything more.
“Old Master Zhong, I need to perform another acupuncture session on Young Master You to help him wake up faster. Please make arrangements for Grand Old Master. I will come over to check his pulse later.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll go make the arrangements right away.”
Upon hearing her words, Old Master Zhong promptly agreed and rushed out of the room.
Watching Old Master Zhong hastily leaving, Lin Caisang sighed softly, looking at the boy on the bed who was slowly regaining consciousness.
“You’re awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you know that human life points should not be poked randomly?”
