Chapter 107: Be good, I'll help you kill them
Su Yanshu took a step forward and wanted to persuade Yu Shengsheng, but was pointed at by Kong Dezhao with a whip and retreated.
Yu Shengsheng whispered, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Grandma Wu is seriously injured and cannot ride around. Let's stay in the yard and treat her."
Su Yanshu exhaled lightly: "Shengsheng is right, don't worry, second brother will give you the best medicine."
After saying this, he immediately ordered the servant: "Go, bring me the medicine for my wounds in my room."
Kong Dezhao pinched Yu Shengsheng's chin and asked her to look up and look at him.
Yu Shengsheng felt the strength of his fingertips and her heart trembled slightly. Although she felt uncomfortable, she did not dare to break free.
"If you don't want to use his medicine, then don't use it. I'll ask Kongtu to bring it to you later."
Kong Dezhao smiled faintly and used his other hand to gather the hair by her ear, as if caressing a small animal.
"Don't be afraid. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me. Remember last time in the paddock? Let them dress up as animals and you shoot them."
He spoke in a light tone, as if he was talking about an ordinary matter.
Yu Shengsheng got his promise, but she didn't feel happy. Thinking back to the hunting in the paddock that day, her hands trembled slightly.
"Thank you, Prince."
Kong Dezhao smiled with his eyebrows narrowed, and stroked her chin gently: "Be good."
He looked back and Kong Rabbit and Kong Cat immediately lifted the door panel.
The trembling servant just now retreated to the side, but before he could stand firm, Kong Dezhao raised his hand and shot him with a crossbow, hitting him right in the throat.
The servant didn't even make a sound. The corpse fell to the ground, his hands and feet twitched, and a large amount of blood gushed out of his throat.
Mrs. Su couldn't help but scream, covering her face and not daring to look.
Yu Shengsheng’s face turned pale instantly.
Kong Dezhao smiled coldly and said with contempt, "You are a cowardly, dirty thing. It's annoying just to look at you. You wasted a good arrow of mine."
Kong Dezhao glanced at the arrows on Su Huaishan's body and the one on the ground: "This crossbow was given by my father. The arrow tip is made of fine cold iron. The crossbow arrows are used once, one thousand taels, one arrow is one hundred taels, a total of four thousand four hundred taels."
“Who pays?”
The Su family: "..."
"It should be you," Kong Dezhao said to Su Huaishan, "I shot three times for you, so pay for it."
Su Huaishan was holding on for a breath, but when he heard this, he fainted.
"Even if you faint, you still have to pay," Kong Dezhao put away the crossbow, "I will wait in the front hall for a quarter of an hour."
…
Yu Shengsheng carefully applied medicine to Grandma Wu and fed her the antipyretic medicine prescribed by the doctor. Only then did Grandma Wu's fever subside.
She washed Grandma Wu herself and changed her clothes and bedding into soft and comfortable ones. After all the busy work, it was already time to light the lamps.
Grandma Wu fell asleep. Although her complexion was still very bad, her breathing was much more even and her condition was stable.
Yu Shengsheng fell down on the edge of the bed, and her heart finally settled down.
Nanny Zhou came closer, helped her up, and said softly, "Miss, you are tired after a day. Eat something and take a rest."
Yu Shengsheng nodded and went to the outer room to eat.
She was really tired and too hungry, so her appetite was not very good.
Jin Baobao tried to make her happy: "Miss, you don't know that Su Huaishan paid more than 4,000 taels of silver, half of which was given to him by the old lady. His face turned green."
Su Huaishan came back in a hurry, so how could he possibly carry several thousand taels of silver on him? Madam Su's family had a lot of expenses for food and clothing, and she didn't want to pay for him, so the old lady was the only one who could do it.
"That's not all. Su Huaishan was seriously injured. The whip is nothing. The key is the arrow wound. Miss, do you know that the arrows of the Kong family are not ordinary arrows?"
Yu Shengsheng thought for a moment: "Didn't Kong Dezhao say that his arrowheads are made of top-grade cold iron?"
"Yes, for one thing. Also, the arrow's tip is upturned and has a blood groove. If you pull the arrow out like normal, it will definitely scratch your skin, flesh, tendons and bones. So, you can only push it forward to let the arrow penetrate."
Yu Shengsheng paused, and Nanny Zhou whispered, "Stop talking, or you'll scare the young lady again."
A smile appeared on Yu Shengsheng's pale face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"He deserves it. He beat Grandma Wu like this. He deserves it."
"Yes, he deserved it. He should have been shot in the throat and heart right then."
Madam Zhou pursed her lips slightly, unable to hide her worry, "Miss, I don't think that Master Kong is afraid to kill him. The first two arrows were aimed at vital parts."
Yu Shengsheng recalled the scene at that time: "Indeed, Kong Dezhao is really not afraid of anyone. He dares to kill someone of Su Huaishan's status with just a wave of his hand."
"Miss, you can't be tempted by that bastard," Jin Baobao came over and said, "He looks like a decent human being, and what he did today was painful and enjoyable, but that can't cover up the fact that he is a bastard."
"He is vicious and cruel, and doesn't take other people's lives seriously. Today, he is only doing this for your sake. If he had only attacked Grandma Wu, he would not have cared. He might even think that Grandma Wu was in the way and kill her directly with a knife."
Yu Shengsheng clenched the chopsticks so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
She knew very well that Jin Baobao was right. She knew it when Jin Baobao pinched her chin today.
She had to admit that Kong Dezhao had indeed helped her several times, and in ways that were beyond her expectations, but as Baobao said, this could not change who Kong Dezhao was.
This is also the reason why she did not leave with Kong Dezhao today.
The Su family is hateful. She wants to leave, and Kong Dezhao is even more terrifying. If she really leaves with Kong Dezhao, it will be even more difficult for her to leave again in the future.
Now that Grandma Wu is around, she is confident that after making a plan, she can take them away from the Su family.
But if she was with Kong Dezhao, it would be difficult for her to walk alone, let alone bring others with her.
This concerns the lives of several people, so we can't gamble.
After finishing her meal, Yu Shengsheng went into the room to see Grandma Wu. She was still asleep and hadn't woken up yet.
Yu Shengsheng felt sad. At such an old age, he was still being dragged down by her. Not only did he have to do hard work in the mansion, but he also had to suffer this kind of pain. He almost lost his life.
Holding back the bitterness in her eyes, she whispered to Jin Baobao: "Baobao, do me a favor."
"Miss, what do you want me to do? Just tell me."
"Grandma Wu has a little grandson named Zhuo Ge'er, who studies at Shuhai Academy in the west of the city. Go check it out tomorrow, but don't alert anyone. After I discuss it with Shopkeeper Song, you can help me sneak Zhuo Ge'er out."
Jin Baobao's eyes lit up; she loved doing things that were new and difficult.
"Okay, no problem."
Madam Zhou looked worried: "What are you going to do, young lady?"
Yu Shengsheng did not answer but asked: "Mammy, do you have other relatives?"
Madam Zhou was startled and said with a wry smile, "What relatives do you have? If you had, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Okay," Yu Shengsheng knew what was going on, "You go and rest first."
She couldn't tell them now, as if the secret was not kept secret it would cause harm. She had to wait until the last moment to tell them.
Yu Shengsheng lay on the edge of the bed with his eyes open all night.
The next morning, Yu Shengsheng brought the bowl of medicine to the bedside, and Grandma Wu slowly opened her eyes.
