Chapter 249: A Sheep Falling into a Tiger's Mouth
Gu Yuexuan instinctively wanted to cover it up, but then she thought of Tu Suminfei's anxious look as he searched for famous doctors these days. She changed her tone and said in a low and soft voice, "We've consulted countless doctors and taken countless medicines these days, but the effect is minimal. Your eldest brother and the others are waiting in the inner room right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Suminfei's eyes immediately dimmed.
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but glance behind him, her eyes slightly raised, and asked meaningfully, "Has Second Uncle been particularly busy lately?"
Ever since his grandfather's condition worsened and he was bedridden, Tu Suting sent several letters to the city.
This was the sixth time Tu Su Minfei had hurried home.
But Tu Suye never showed up once.
Tu Suminfei lowered his eyelids to hide the coldness in his eyes. He took a deep breath before speaking slowly: "The boss only has two accountants. If I leave, there will be no one to replace me."
"Sister-in-law, please go ahead and do your work. I'll ask the doctor to come in and give Grandpa a thorough diagnosis."
Gu Yuexuan nodded slightly: "Go."
Half an hour later, the doctor left a prescription that was almost identical to the previous one and left the Tu Su family's gate. The old grandfather was exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Tu Subo gently pulled up the corner of the quilt and walked out of the main room side by side with Tu Su Minfei.
Tu Suminfei pursed his lips tightly and said solemnly, "If we continue like this, it will not last long."
Although the doctor's words were full of comfort, they knew in their hearts that the old grandfather's condition was not serious.
Tu Subo had been working hard for days, and his eyes were dark blue. He leaned against the pillar, closed his eyes for a moment, and said tiredly, "It's really not possible."
"I've already tried every possible way to contact another doctor. If all goes well, he'll be here within ten days."
"Ten days?"
Tu Suminfei looked anxiously towards the main hall and said in a low voice: "Can grandfather's current condition last for ten days?!"
"Should I take you with me right now and intercept the doctor who can cure Grandpa on the street?!"
The two brothers glared at each other with red eyes, and their faces, which were almost identical, were filled with resentment that could not be expressed to others.
The old grandfather was bedridden, and they were more anxious than anyone else.
Tu Suminfei realized his own loss of composure, clenched his fists, took deep breaths, and circled in circles like a trapped animal. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I know there's someone who might be able to save Grandpa. I'm going to ask him for help."
Tu Subo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Who?"
"Cheng Yanhe." Tu Suminfei said with a heavy breath.
Tu Subo raised his eyebrows.
Tu Suminfei desperately took a deep breath. "I heard from the county that Cheng Yanhe arrived at Fangling Camp three days ago, and he was accompanied by an imperial physician."
During this period, they consulted all the doctors they could find, including the county clinic, the town pharmacy, and even some famous rural doctors in the nearby villages, but the results were not satisfactory.
They were unwilling to believe that their grandfather's condition had reached a point where it was irreversible, so they placed all their hopes on the medical skills of these doctors.
However, the imperial physician was different from these rural doctors.
The Imperial Physician was a miraculous doctor within the palace, and his medical skills were naturally far superior to those of these rural doctors. If they could invite the Imperial Physician back, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
However, Cheng Yanhe, who brought the imperial physician with him, had a deep hatred for the Tusu family.
This hatred is also directly related to Tu Subo.
Tu Su Minfei obviously knew something about this past event, but he couldn't care less at the moment.
He said quickly, "You take care of him at home. I'll go and ask Cheng Yanhe to agree to let the imperial physician go home with me. You..."
"It would be a waste of effort if you go." Tu Subo's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he said in a stiff tone, "I broke his son's leg. You will only suffer humiliation if you go."
"Isn't this disaster your own fault?"
Tu Su Min Fei was seething with rage, his gums chattering as he gnashed his teeth. "If you hadn't acted so repulsively and absurdly back then, how could you be in such a desperate situation now?"
Tu Subo knew in his heart that every word Tu Su Minfei said hit the nail on the head, but at this point, he had no time to care about anything else.
Whether for the glory of the Tu Su family or out of the sincere hearts of the younger generations, they did not want to see their grandfather suffer misfortune.
"It's decided. I will leave for Fangling Camp immediately. You wait for good news at home."
Tu Suminfei was about to leave in a hurry, but suddenly a firm hand held his shoulder tightly.
Tu Subo pushed him away expressionlessly, his tone as cold as ice: "Wait at home, I'll go on this trip."
"Are you going there yourself?"
"Tu Subo, have you lost your mind?!"
Tu Sumin rushed forward and grabbed his arm tightly, forcing out a voice through gritted teeth, nearly collapsing: "Back then, you beat Cheng Kuan like a dying dog, leaving him lying on the street. That's why Cheng Yanhe almost broke into your house with a knife in hand, intending to kill you!"
"If you go there now, aren't you courting death?!"
Back then, the Tu Su family was extremely powerful and had a relatively good relationship with the Cheng family.
However, everything was ruined because of Tu Subo.
He almost killed Cheng Yanhe's son.
Although this created an enemy and brought about countless disturbances and criticisms, Tu Subo was the most noble prince in the family at that time, so even though Cheng Yanhe was resentful, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
However, times have changed.
Tu Subo is now a criminal who has been demoted here, while Cheng Yanhe is the newly appointed General Dingbei by the court.
Tu Subo's trip was undoubtedly like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Tu Suminfei didn't dare to say anything, but just held Tu Subo tightly.
Tu Subo looked down at his sleeves that had been stretched out of shape, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a sarcastic arc: "Haven't you been hoping for my death?"
After years of fighting and scheming, why at this moment, you don't want to see me die?
Tu Suminfei was fuming with rage, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. "I wish you would die soon, but not at this moment!"
"Go back and stay here! I know all the little things about this!"
"snort."
Tu Subo seemed a little anxious. He waved his hand and tightly grabbed Tu Su Minfei's arm. With a slight twist, he pushed him forward. Then he raised his palm and hit him on the forehead with a sound as loud as thunder.
This attack was just like the method he usually used to punish Tu Su Minyang and others, except that the force was several times stronger.
Tu Su Minfei was so frightened that he almost thought he was going to knock him out with one blow!
"Little bastard, who dares to order them to leave?"
Tu Subo loosened his hand, letting Tu Suminfei stroke his forehead, and said in a cold tone: "You have no right to speak here, shut up and wait for good news."
"Also, this matter must not be revealed to Xuanxuan..."
"Xuanxuan?"
Tu Subo looked over Tu Suminfei's shoulder and looked in surprise at the figure who slowly stood up behind the haystack. For a moment, he even forgot what he wanted to say.
