Gu Jinding frowned. Ever since the last fake commotion in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion, he had been out on escort duty.
When he came back this time, he had not had time to find out what happened in the capital.
But people outside were saying that his sister was very capable and that she had received a lot of gold. She must be living a good life, and he was happy in his heart.
He planned to give the gift to his sister as an encouragement.
When he heard Gu Jinyu asking him to go back, all his good mood disappeared.
But if he doesn't go back, this servant will probably follow him to the Imperial Master's Mansion.
He couldn't let anything related to Gu Jinyu dirty the Imperial Master's Mansion!
"Jin Ding, you're finally back. Dad is so miserable..."
Gu Jinyu started crying as soon as she saw Gu Jinding, and she really cried.
After living a life of luxury for so many years, he had long forgotten the taste of hard times. Now that he was feeling it again, he felt worse than death.
"Well, it's karma. You brought this upon yourself. There's no point in crying." Gu Jinding said coldly.
He is not a person who values filial piety. As the saying goes, if a father is kind, his son will be filial. If the father is not kind, why should the son be filial?
Gu Jinyu was choked. How could he forget that his third son was a scoundrel?
"Ahem, Jin Ding, Dad has realized his mistake now. Can you help Dad?"
Gu Jinding glanced at the cold room and the thin bed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"I heard that before my mother married my father, he lived like this."
It's just a return to the past, what's there to be sad about?
Gu Jinyu almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. He was already so miserable, and this brat actually said such things.
Seeing his anger, Gu Jin continued to anger him.
"No, don't you have a wife? Where's Shen Yunyun? Aren't you a loving couple? How can she not care about you when you're like this?
Oh, by the way, there's also Gu Fengxi. Isn't she said to be blessed? Dad is already like this, and she still doesn't use her blessings. When is she going to use them?"
Gu Jinyu's expression grew increasingly worse, and the curse words that were about to burst out of his mouth were stuck in his throat.
Now he can only rely on his son Gu Jinding, and he must not drive him away.
"Jin Ding, Dad really knows he was wrong. Can you pay for a doctor to heal his leg? Dad promises that once Dad is well, I will spend the rest of my life apologizing for my mistakes."
"Goodbye!"
Gu Jinding's hair stood on end. His mother had finally gotten away from him, so how could he give her another chance to get close to him?
But you can't force him to death. If you really don't give him money, he's afraid that he will harass his mother.
"You also know that your son, I am neither good at literature nor martial arts. Now I am just a bodyguard. I earn little and spend more.
But you are my father, so I must take care of you."
As he spoke, Gu Jinding carefully rummaged through his pocket and took out five taels of silver.
"Dad, this is all my savings."
Gu Jinyu frowned fiercely. Ever since he married Wang Yanran, he had never worried about money and was used to squandering it on a daily basis.
Five taels of silver was not enough for him to have a meal a month ago.
"Jin Ding, why don't you go borrow some money from your mother? Dad will get his leg healed no matter what."
He didn't want to lie in bed forever.
"No, I'm your son, so I should give you money, but I have nothing to do with you anymore, so how can I have the nerve to take money for your sake?
Dad, just use these five taels of silver to see a doctor first, and the rest can come later."
Gu Jinding stood up and said, "Dad, I still have things to do at the escort agency. I'll be leaving now. Take care of yourself."
Next time he returns to the capital, he must hide well and must not let that servant find him again.
"Jin Ding, Jin Ding..."
Gu Jinyu wanted to call him, but Gu Jinding had already left.
"Asshole!"
He cursed so badly that even the servant couldn't stand it anymore.
"Master, the Third Young Master at least gave you some money. Unlike the mother and daughter you doted on, they knew you needed someone to take care of you, but they didn't care at all."
Gu Jinyu glared at him. If it were in the past, he would have killed the boy long ago.
But now, apart from this servant, there is no one else who can take care of him.
"Go, get me a doctor."
The servant glanced at the five taels of silver in his hand and thought that he should at least give him some to buy vegetables tomorrow, but since Gu Jinyu refused to give him any, there was nothing he could do.
At worst, we’ll both go hungry tomorrow.
The doctor came soon and shook his head after examining Gu Jinyu.
"Your condition has dragged on for too long. If you had taken good care of yourself earlier, you would have recovered by now. Even if you had recovered now, I'm afraid you would still be lame in the future."
Gu Jinyu's heart skipped a beat. How could he gain a foothold in the court after becoming lame?
"Doctor, please help me, help me get back to normal."
The doctor sighed and said, "If you can use the best ginseng every day, maybe I can try my ancestral massage technique on you."
But how much would it cost to use the best ginseng every day?
Gu Jinyu's five taels of silver were obviously not enough.
"Doctor, can you give me an estimate of how much it will cost to cure me?"
"At least one thousand taels!"
The servant took a deep breath.
"This is too expensive. My master only has five taels of silver. How can he afford it?"
Gu Jinyu glared at him and asked the doctor to prescribe some cheap medicine to stabilize his legs.
The servant made the medicine for him and served it to him in the evening. He thought he could go back to sleep after taking the empty bowl, but Gu Jinyu called him.
"Go borrow some money..."
Gu Jinding left the Gu family, returned to the escort agency to get the gift for Fubao, and hurried to the National Master's Mansion.
