Over the years, Grand Tutor Chu had sought out many renowned doctors, but none of them could cure Chu Sangyue's illness, so he had even less hope for Song Zhiyu.

Song Zhiyu was about the same age as his daughter, and he couldn't bear to do that, so he didn't agree to Shen Feng's suggestion.

It's impossible for the Marquis of Chengen's mansion to get all the good things while blaming Song Zhiyu for all the bad things.

Seeing that he was unyielding and not daring to offend him, Shen Feng had no choice but to give up on the idea.

"Thank you for the reminder, Grand Tutor. I understand now." Song Zhiyu's eyes flickered slightly as she sincerely thanked him. She hadn't expected Grand Tutor Chu to deliberately give her a hint.

Then, she looked at Chu Sangyue, who was staring at her expectantly, and chuckled twice, saying, "Sangyue, don't eat things given to you by strangers in the future."

Song Zhiyu was very fond of Chu Sangyue's clear and pure eyes, and thought to herself, if what happened back then hadn't happened, how stunningly beautiful she would be.

But then Song Zhiyu thought about it again and realized that Chu Sangyue had actually turned misfortune into blessing.

If it weren't for Shen Jinshu's interference back then, Chu Sangyue would have married Prince Li long ago, binding the Chu family and Prince Li's mansion together.

This is undoubtedly the situation that Song Zhiyu least wants to see.

With the support of Grand Tutor Chu, the arrogance of the Li King's faction will only grow stronger, further fueling his wolfish ambitions.

"I'll send someone to take you back, so that those people from the Marquis's mansion won't make things difficult for you." Grand Tutor Chu was thoughtful, and because of Chu Sangyue, he couldn't help but feel a bit of affection for her, so his gaze towards Song Zhiyu carried a hint of concern.

Today, the incident at Zuixianlou has become the talk of the town. As Shen Rushan's maternal family, the Ye family has suffered such a great loss, and they will certainly not let it go.

They're used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so they wouldn't dare do anything to him, but it's hard to say what they'd do to Song Zhiyu.

Grand Tutor Chu's guess was correct; upon receiving the news, Shen Rushan rushed to the Grand Tutor's residence immediately.

The Grand Tutor's residence wasn't far from the Marquis's residence; in about half a cup of tea's time, the person should come to apologize.

Grand Tutor Chu smiled coldly. Ye Ming must pay the price for his actions, and no amount of pleading will help.

He won't let the Ye family off easily, nor will he let Shen Rushan and the Chengen Marquis's mansion go unpunished; he'll take them all down.

Sensing the concern in Grand Tutor Chu's words, Song Zhiyu nodded slightly and did not refuse his kindness.

With members of the Chu family accompanying her back to the Marquis's residence, she could save herself a lot of trouble.

However, Chu Sangyue's illness is also a thorny problem.

Song Zhiyu lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time. Finally, before leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Grand Tutor Chu, if you trust me, I can cure Sang Yue's illness."

"Are you serious?" Grand Tutor Chu suddenly looked up. He had sought out countless famous doctors to treat Chu Sangyue, but to no avail. He was somewhat disheartened.

He optimistically thought that it didn't matter if his daughter was a little slow-witted, as the Chu family could afford to raise her anyway.

The girls of the Chu family should just live freely and happily; they don't need to think about so much.

"It's true, of course. I'm 70% confident I can cure Sang Yue." Song Zhiyu was being somewhat conservative, but since the outcome was still uncertain, she didn't want to give Grand Tutor Chu too much hope, lest she cause more trouble.

Chu Sangyue's mental disability was not congenital, but rather a result of being submerged underwater for a long time without receiving timely treatment.

She had seen this condition a few times before when she was practicing medicine with her master, and it had a high chance of being cured.

"Seventy percent?" Grand Tutor Chu looked surprised and doubtful. A seventy percent chance was neither too high nor too low, but it could slowly heal his heart, which was riddled with holes.

The doctors he had previously invited to treat Chu Sangyue had at most a 50% chance of success, although they all ended in failure.

But when he met Song Zhiyu's eyes, which shone like stars, he unconsciously began to trust her words a little more.

Perhaps Song Zhiyu really can cure Sang Yue's illness?

Once the thought arose, it lingered in his mind and seemed to intensify.

Song Zhiyu smiled without saying a word, standing calmly in place, quietly waiting for Grand Tutor Chu's response.

To be honest, her offer to treat Chu Sangyue was not an impulsive decision, but a well-thought-out consideration.

On one hand, she genuinely wanted to cure Chu Sangyue's illness out of compassion. On the other hand, she also wanted to use this opportunity to win over Grand Tutor Chu and completely eliminate any possibility of Prince Li bribing him.

Grand Tutor Chu took a deep breath, his voice tinged with a hint of joy, "When can we begin treatment?"

"Three days from now, I still need to prepare some things." Song Zhiyu chose a time so that she could see the effects of the gold needles she had during this treatment.

Grand Tutor Chu wasn't in a hurry. He had waited three years, so what was a few more three days?

As the steward of the Grand Tutor's mansion saw Song Zhiyu off, the carriage of the Marquis of Chengen's mansion slowly came to a stop in front of them.

Shen Rushan lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down. Without even glancing at Song Zhiyu, he stood straight at the main entrance of the Grand Tutor's residence. "Please trouble the steward to announce that Shen Rushan has come to apologize."

He was always flexible and adaptable. After assessing the situation, he put aside his pride and personally visited the Grand Tutor Chu to ask for his forgiveness.

Otherwise, tomorrow there will likely be a mountain of impeachment memorials against him, as numerous as hairs on a cow.

As for Ye Ming, he has to bear the consequences of the trouble he caused.

Shen Rushan's plan was brilliant, but he didn't expect that Grand Tutor Chu wouldn't even give him face and would have someone stop him at the door.

"Lord Shen, our master has said that he will not see anyone with the surname Shen." The steward dutifully conveyed Grand Tutor Chu's message, leaving no room for negotiation, and his intention to expel the man was clear.

Shen Rushan had a bad feeling. This was the first time that Grand Tutor Chu had refused him so rudely, not even bothering with formalities.

He frowned slightly, his expression unreadable, wishing he could tear Ye Ming, who had implicated him, to pieces, but he hated Song Zhiyu the most for stirring up trouble.

He caught up with Song Zhiyu in a few strides, and when they were alone, the gloom in his eyes was no longer concealed. "Was Ye Ming's matter something you plotted?"

He couldn't think of any other possibility.

Too many coincidences coming together make it seem like it was intentional. Why did Ye Ming have to target Chu Sangyue, and why did Chu Sangyue happen to be rescued by Song Zhiyu?

Song Zhiyu chuckled. What a huge black pot! They're throwing all sorts of dirty and stinking things at her. "Does Lord Shen mean that I plotted against Ye Ming by giving innocent women drugs, intending to do something bad to them?"

Or perhaps I foresaw Ye Ming's intention to target Chu Sangyue and set a trap for him beforehand? Is he a fool, willingly letting me lead him by the nose?

She guessed Shen Rushan's thoughts with remarkable accuracy, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Shen Rushan didn't speak, but stared at her with a sinister look, his expression saying it all.
